@flancian Oh huh, neat! I had my own project called Agora, a ways back. XD
@Angle oh, very interesting! what was it about? where did it lead? if you want to share.
@flancian It was an open source federated site, basically like mastodon, except it displayed posts in a tree view. You can see the source here: https://gitlab.com/Agora-Project
It was never really finished, and will probably need to be updated besides. I'll add some old screenshots of it as well. These ones are really outdated, but I think they show the basic idea. XD
@Angle wow, that looks amazing!
[[Agora project]]
@flancian Eh, it was interesting. Needed a lot of work, more than I could devote to the project. XD
@Angle would you be interested in cooperating/collaborating/joining [[flancia collective]] with no strings attached?
@flancian Maybe! What did you have in mind?
@flancian Hello? I am interested, I just want to know what I'm getting into. XD
@Angle apologies for the delay! I had to context switch and this thread ended on my todo list. Thank you for reactivating!
@Angle the collective is a group of people with aligned values working in public; sometimes towards a shared goal, but often independently.
@Angle I meant to send this link to you in the previous message, but the bot failed :) my code is buggy.
@flancian Interesting! Okay, I'll give it a try. Anything in particular I should look into contributing too? And, if someone were interested in helping me with my current project, Omnicraft, that would be cool. I could use some expertise with code optimization and testing, in particular.
@Angle nice, I'm terrible with graphics/physics (coding in general?) but I'll give it a try and pass it around!
@flancian Graphics and physics aren't actually the big thing I need to optimize right now - that's data management and networking, I think. Graphics could probably use some work, but I don;t think they're that big a deal right now, and I've only implemented the absolute barest and most minimal physics at the moment. :/
@flancian What about other projects I could contribute to? Is there anything you'd point out?
@Angle thank you for asking!
[[go/agora]] is the main repository. ([[agora bot]] should respond to wikilinks with links to known sources.)
@Angle did you get a notification? I wonder -- if you don't mind sharing. I've just implemented this and it behaves differently on Twitter and on Mastodon, so it's hard to keep track of user experience sometimes :)
@flancian Nope, no notificiations that weren't directly from you.
@Angle were you able to see the links anyway in your default writing experience as you were interacting with my messages?
@flancian If I click on your messages to view replies, I can see An Agora responding, but not otherwise.
@Angle in your opinion, is this the right default behaviour? Or should the bot at-mention you to trigger a notification?
I see it as a virtual buddy of sorts, so I don't mind having them tagging me along. But I don't want to be intrusive.
@flancian It should only @ people who follow it, I think.
@Angle oh my friend, right you are. thank you! that's the perfect behaviour.
