# IWDiscord <fratis#0> capjamesg[d]: I do! https://ft.io
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> Built with a static site generator called lektor
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> It’s not super popular, but it had momentum when I first started using it, it works great, and I have fun extending it, so we’re now married for life

# IWDiscord <fratis#0> I grew up on AOL Hometown, Angelfire, and Geocities. So many GIFs. So many tiled backgrounds. It was a beautiful (ugly) time
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> I had a proper personal blog in high school, first powered by custom CMSes I’d do in an afternoon in PHP (riddled with SQL injection vulns), then eventually B2, which I believe was a predecessor to Wordpress
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> #indieweb-dev for follow ups

# IWDiscord <codepoet#0> tyil: Very true. I used IRC for 20+ years, still never found an interface I liked. 😂
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> [edit] capjamesg[d]: I do! https://ft.io
# IWDiscord <capjamesg#0> codepoet[d] Have you tried chat.sr.ht? I really like it.
# IWDiscord <codepoet#0> I havent. I tend to stay away from web clients. I just found "The Lounge" which has a really nice interface, but is also a web client.

# IWDiscord <fratis#0> Are there IRC clients that support integrations w any of the logging platforms to maintain history when you’re offline?
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> Biggest issue w IRC for me is not retaining message history, especially when you miss something because you’re offline
# IWDiscord <capjamesg#0> chat.sr.ht retains your own messages which is nice.
# IWDiscord <capjamesg#0> Maybe other web clients do too.
# tyil codepoet: but discord is just a webclient too, but a proprietary one on a closed platform

# IWDiscord <fratis#0> capjamesg[d] how do I get access to #indieweb-chat
[aciccarello] joined the channel
# IWDiscord <capjamesg#0> frank[d] Do you see a message that says you can't post, or can you not join?

# IWDiscord <fratis#0> Seeing just: "You do not have permission to view the message history of #indieweb-chat "
# IWDiscord <capjamesg#0> Oh yes! That is intentional.
# IWDiscord <capjamesg#0> New community members can't see the previous scrollback in #indieweb-chat , but you should be able to see messages posted after you joined.

# IWDiscord <fratis#0> capjamesg[d]: I've been seeing the little white dot in Discord on #indieweb-chat, but when I click the channel name, it's still blank
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> Makes me think there have been posts in there since I joined, but I'm still unable to see them
# IWDiscord <fratis#0> Ope just saw my first one

[catgirlinspace] capjamesg what's the point of view message history being disabled on discord?
# 
aaronpk it's only the chat channel that has no history https://indieweb.org/discuss#chat
bterry joined the channel
# [catgirlinspace] ah, wasnt aware of that
gxt and suki joined the channel
# cptaffe codepoet: if you use a bouncer like ZNC, it’ll retain messages for your clients
# 
[capjamesg] http://chat.sr.ht uses https://soju.im/ as its bouncer.

gRegor Re: https://chat.indieweb.org/2023-09-18#t1695045050297000, all our channels except chat are logged on chat.indieweb.org, pretty nice interface and search there too.
