aaronpk i'm posting notes from this trip as a thread on my site, and now i want two things
#
aaronpk 1) actually displaying the thread on my site, since each post is only showing the one before and one after
#
aaronpk 2) a way to create these notes while offline, the trick is i want them to be in reply to the previous, but the URL doesn't exist yet because it's all created offline

[KevinMarks] I thought your tag pages would work for the first part?

#
aaronpk tag pages aren't the same as a thread, but yeah i could post everything in one tag

#
petermolnar A thread is basically a linked list, no?
#
aaronpk I suppose yea
#
Seb[d] at one point in time I stored all my posts as markdown files with a link to the next file in the bottom.
#
Seb[d] and then javascript would fetch the next and the next and the next in an infinite scroll
#
Seb[d] This version is gone from the web archive, sadly
#
Seb[d] js;dr
#
Seb[d] sorry this is way too dev-y
#
Seb[d] but be careful with pointing devs to the linked list, because they will hurt themselves by implementing it on weird places 😛
#
[chrisbergr] I build something similar, but still different. I will have static pages with title and introduction text and chronologically matching posts as h-feed (notes, photos, checkins...) based on a defined tag.
#
aaronpk Seb[d]++ for the linked list warning
#
Loqi Seb[d] has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (2 in all channels)
#
[chrisbergr] I will probably call this collections
#
[tantek]1 what is a thread
#
Loqi A reply chain (AKA reply thread) is a list of replies, and replies to those replies, displayed under the original post https://indieweb.org/thread
#
[tantek]1 ^ that page could likely use a once-over checking links (replacing with Internet Archive versions when necessary) etc.

[KevinMarks] noterlive constructs the chains in twitter by caching the last id returned. That might break if the connection is intermittent and you send 2 posts before the previous async one returns and give a forked thread

#
[tantek]1 if noterlive did micropub posts instead, then the receiving server could async do all the POSSE tweet threading independent of which client the posts came from or when
