I have a suggestion for Bonfire:

The Android UX could be improved. I’m not frustrated at all, but Android suspends my browser after about 15 minutes, so when this happens I lose every draft I’ve started.

Of course I use my clipboard to avoid this. FYI, Pinafore saves drafts in internal storage so even if my phone/computer rebooted, it would retrieve them locally. I don’t know if it would be easy to tweak with the Bonfire codebase, I tend to guess it would, but I have zero experience in development.

Oops my reply was posted as a new thread: playground.bonfire.cafe/post...

@mayel · 4 years ago

Luckily a contributor is working on that, see github.com/bonfire-networks/...

Bug: Post drafts should persist in memory when a user navigate between pages · Issue #403 · bonfire-networks/bonfire-app · GitHub

We can simply cache the current draft or implement a "drafts", to be able to save multiple posts in memory?

But other attempts to REPLY and WRITE have failed with seemingly the same error. The common factor may have been refeences outside th Bonfire playground sandbox. Like, to fediverse identitites like Bonfire AT indeweb.

Don't have more time to diagnose, apologies, must go.

@mayel · 4 years ago

@barefoot_doc @BonfireBuilders thanks!

@barefoot_doc · 4 years ago

Well, THAT was ok. So why was the other reply not OK?

@mayel · 4 years ago

@barefoot_doc @BonfireBuilders looking at the logs it seems like a bug while trying to retrieve metadata from a URL, do you mind sharing what link it was so I can try to reproduce?

👋 As part of upcoming milestones, we're implementing a way for users to create circles (like in the old G+), but going beyond using it to define audiences (i.e. visibility of content), with very granular ways to define permissions on what you post (i.e. so you can give one of your circles permission to edit your post, or use it simply to lock-down who can reply, etc).

Along with that will come customisable roles for instance administration and moderation (to go beyond just having "admins"), and so we're thinking about what's needed for that, feedback and suggestions are welcome 😃, see details at https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/406

I don't think so? @BonfireBuilders

@mayel · 4 years ago

@oct @dajbelshaw it's not, you're able to manually look up people or posts (pull) but not follow and federate automatically (push)

I have a suggestion for Bonfire:

Add Vietnamese language on Transifex (I'll help translate)
Add title for a post
Split out hashtag from main content of a post

@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback

@mayel · 4 years ago

You should be able to add a sort-of title to a post by clicking the CW button. You can also give a name to an entire thread by clicking the top-right button when viewing a thread. And you should be good to go for Vietnamese on Transifex, thanks 😊

@coopey · 4 years ago

Can I post massive image files?

Flag of Åland - but it's a large size

@mayel · 4 years ago

Yes, but they get resized and compressed. We should add to the settings what size they should get resized to, and whether to store (and optionally link to) the original. Not doing so of course reduces hosting costs.

@BonfireBuilders · 4 years ago

We suggest posting one piece of feedback per post rather than bullet lists if possible, so each issue or suggestion can be digested and discussed on its own, and not get lost in the shuffle.

Bonfire Builders

@BonfireBuilders · 4 years ago

Thank you to everyone who is providing feedback! ❤️ We are trying to keep track of everything and add items to the to-do list (git issues) or the roadmap (on changemap, where you can comment and vote on possible future features).

Didn't knew but smelled like that so I've scrolled a few times. Seems that something is not triggered is it should, but it may be a combination of browser/plugins/OS.

Any other with this issue or is just me? 😅

@mayel · 4 years ago

so the number doesn't change at all as you scroll down notifications?

Eduardo Mercovich

@EduMerco · 4 years ago

I have a good view for my age (53) and use 133% in this beta instance to be almost comfy. :)

@mayel · 4 years ago

I do the same, here and on maybe half the sites I visit regularly...

@AliceIce @BonfireBuilders seems there's a bug with detecting URLs at the start of a newline

@AliceIce @BonfireBuilders trying like this youtube.com/watch?v=QuoKNZjr...

@dajbelshaw · 4 years ago

Oh, didn't work!

@mayel · 4 years ago

@dajbelshaw playground.bonfire.cafe/post...

@AliceIce · 4 years ago

@BonfireBuilders @mayel I'm confused 😅

I tested with a different browser and had a look at your post with the initial link. The embedded video is sent to an Invidious instance, but the link itself is not?

I'd expect the URL to link to an Invidious instance, too.

But nonetheless: Wow, cool that you developed this so fast 🤗

@mayel · 4 years ago

We could add a setting to have the links replaced as well.

@AliceIce · 4 years ago

@BonfireBuilders @mayel So then I just post this?

@dajbelshaw · 4 years ago

Awesome, I've only checked this on mobile and it doesn't seem to be 'embedding' but rather previewing?

@mayel · 4 years ago

There's a thumbnail and clicking on it should open a modal with the embed.

@AliceIce · 4 years ago

It seems like it's not working? A normal Markdown link is fine, right?

@mayel · 4 years ago

It won't happen (at least in the current implementation) if you put an actual link, but only for raw URLs.

@AliceIce · 4 years ago

@BonfireBuilders @mayel Cool! How can I enable it for myself?

@mayel · 4 years ago

@AliceIce @BonfireBuilders it should work on any new post or comment

@AliceIce · 4 years ago

It would be really nice to be able to set redirect URLs for Youtube Videos, Instagram Posts etc.

The Fedilab App does provide it and then replaces all links to Youtube with the preset Invidous URL for example.
