Morpeth, UK

I've replaced hyperlinks with Org-cite (BibLaTeX + the CSL). If I'm to reference your work, I'm gonna need a lead developer.

For now it's @dajb due to the alphabetic order. Is this ok for everyone? @mayel and @ivan? Am I missing someone?

@Oceane I can't see a reply from @mayel or @ivan but I'm not a developer, never mind lead developer! 😂 Bonfire is very much led by Mayel and Ivan. I just hang around when asked to for moral support, user research, and some occasional writing...

Been a while, hi everyone! Just been showing someone around and realised I haven't posted for a few weeks...

I encountered this issue while using Bonfire:

@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback When I go to the 'Discussion' tab on mobile I get an error message: "Sorry you can't view this string"

One thing I really like about Bonfire is that the default font size on mobile is sensible. Also the messages are full-width.

Both stand in contrast to Mastodon, with it's weird layout. I can't stand having an un-collapsable sidebar!

Several new layout and sorting options coming to the discussion page on Bonfire in the next release. Would love some feedback, such as:

  • would you prefer them separated in three menus as in the screenshots, or all in one menu?
  • any suggestions on clearer wording for some of the options? such as nested vs linear and the different chronological options...

I think one list would be overwhelming!

@bonfire@indieweb.social Love the new add to circles feature!

Just now, on a post by @ivan that @mayel had boosted, I noticed something unexpected and wanted to ask if it was intended.

What happened: I clicked on the three dots to interact with the post and my options were to ghost / silence, etc. @mayel

What I expected: my options being to ghost / silence, etc. @ivan

(I've just checked and that is the default behaviour on Mastodon and Calckey)

I've just filed a bug for what might seem like the world's most trivial thing @ivan

github.com/bonfire-networks/...

However, I think that having a delay from clicking the star icon to it turning yellow is likely to lead to frustration and/or people repeatedly clicking it because it "hasn't worked".

(you know when the UX 'bugs' are getting this specific that you're doing something right overall!)

I randomly came across this via HN and thought it was relevant to the above @ivan
