I have a suggestion for Bonfire: it seems multi-level bullet lists aren't supported

Let's see if that works now: flic.kr/p/2nyyAFq
A quick update: we're just about ready to release the first iteration of circles and boundaries, which you can read about here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/in...
We deployed the update to the playground earlier but ran into a mysterious issue that didn't appear until now, so have rolled back to the previous version until we figure that one out. Wish us luck! 🤞
There's a list of changes here: playground.bonfire.cafe/term...

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.
I would add: If you will not use it, you cannot have it.

eager to release the improvements to the main layout, all the fixes we did in the last 2 weeks, most of them based on your feedbacks and user testing, plus our first implementation of bonfire boundaries system 🤩
Interesting, how/where would the old images be displayed?
first thing that went wrong is I set my username to waké to test out whether bonfire supported Unicode in names or not (it should!) and when I pressed enter it saved a username that never typed in
@wak welcome! you can edit your username in the second field (which is limited in what characters are supported, to retain the largest compatibility when federating)

NVC, class oppression through privilege, CW politics
Of course, degrading communication in such a manner degrades social mobility; blaming or rewarding a child for their "grades" in an exercise (in which they're supposed to do mistakes, that's how we learn things!) brings down poor children and narrows down their possibilities to the most essential, less paid jobs (like construction, the food supply chain, and so on).
Spreading NVC is an action against oppression.

How many online "communities" would be better described as online "associations"?
Community should be distinguished from association. The distinction is fundamentally one of commitment and identity. Associations, even while they provide their own form of social glue, make little claim on our loyalties and at best make minor contributions to our identities.

Ah yes, weird
@dajbelshaw well directly embeding a remote image is called hotlinking and some websites don't like it, whether it's because of bandwidth costs or less chances to shove ads in our faces. When we next update the playground though, you'll be able to copy the image (the image itself rather than the URL, see screenshot) and paste it into the editor, which will upload a copy of the original file instead.
Ah yes, that's better!
Giphy is one of those sites that does something dodgy where what looks like the URL to image file (see the .gif extension) actually serves you an HTML page if you visit it directly. If you use the URL of the page the gif is on though, oembed should allow us to pull it in: giphy.com/gifs/tongue-goodni...
@BonfireBuilders Looks like the screenshot didn't make it into the post?
Did you try pasting the screenshot image? In which case this should fix that in the next release: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
Peut-on pousser l’analogie en parlant du coût de la pizzeria, comparé à celui d’une cuisine « maison » plus saine et plus « économique » (en monnaie, en attention, etc.) ?
Absolument, mais aussi plus "cher" en termes de savoir-faire, de temps, de choix et d'approvisionnement en ingrédients (surtout si on continue la métaphore et qu'on fait pousser soi-même les tomates, etc.).
I have a suggestion for Bonfire:
Using boundaries for multi-language support? Posting memes in English, opinions in French, etc., so people get to choose which language(s) they prefer to read, instead of setting your language(s) in stone, i.e. in your profile.
You could totally use circles and boundaries to post things to a subset of your followers based on the languages they know, though I think it'll be worth adding a seperate feature to indicate the language of a post, and to be able to filter your own feed based on language(s).
@BonfireBuilders any ballpark on when you're gonna test boundary stuff on playground?
In a few days hopefully!
@BonfireBuilders what library is generating the new avatars?
@vera this is the library npmjs.com/package/animal-ava...
@BonfireBuilders @mayel
- 3 default font are not supported Unicode (in my case is Vietnamese). I suggest to use Commissioner
- All tool tips was be cut by other elements.
@duy thanks for the report! I have updated the playground with two fonts that should include Vietnamese if you select one of those with the "(More Languages)" indication in your user preferences. Can you please let us know if that works?

In response to several feedbacks related to the general layout and the composer experience, we prepared a few mockups to highlight some UX improvements we'd like to discuss with you.
Main feedbacks gravitated around the possibility to have as much space as possible for the main content view, a clearer navigation menu and clear distinction between navigation and widgets sections.
Looking at the near future, we tried also to imagine how to organize the space in the navigation sidebar to have enough space for groups and lists.
In particular, we spent some time thinking at an altenative UX to compose a post. This is for different reasons:
- We're working on flexible boundaries / lists - and a dropdown is not enough to let the user work with such granular permissions levels
- We want to have a composer box that incentivate also toughtful posts, not just toots/tweets
- We want to have a unique composer box that works in any situation (actual fullscreen mode is buggy)
- We still want to be able to compose a post while scrolling the feed or reading through the comments in a thread
- The composer box should not be always visible on the page, but it should be 1-click away to start composing a post (with keyboard shortcut also)
- The user should be able to work on different drafts
