# 20:04 tantek is this strictly for development discussion, or would usability issues be fair game as well? # 20:05 tantek snarfed, you may want to review #indieweb since like literally when you departed ;) # 20:05 snarfed i've only skimmed the discussion, but i haven't seen concrete suggestions yet # 20:05 tantek I think we're still trying to uncover the issues # 20:05 snarfed i wonder if some of it is that bridgy is ready for generations 1 and 2, but he's hoping it's ready for 3 and 4 # 20:05 tantek specifically the usability of WordPress with Bridgy (using various plugins that try to do it for you) # 20:06 tantek snarfed: except he's a developer (programmer) # 20:06 snarfed i was reacting to 'I can say, with no reservation, that the Bridgy web site would make no sense to a "mortal"' # 20:08 tantek yeah. and I'm not sure that's bad? (re: mortal) given wanting to grow bridgy usage slowly, or concerns about silo shutdowns # 20:09 snarfed but i'm not entirely ready to do a deep dive into heavily redesiging/polishing the product and UX part # 20:09 snarfed (lacking both interest and ability, to some degree :P) # 20:11 tantek snarfed, if we can capture the confusion / issues / questions, I'm willing to help with copy-editing docs (pull requests on github) # 20:12 tantek that's probably where I can do the most good in terms of Bridgy contributions # 20:12 snarfed honestly though i do think it's pretty polished for gen 1 and 2 as is, though, and addressing 3 and cdevroe might need a bigger overhaul, not just more docs' # 20:13 tantek sure that's possible. I may be able to get somewhere with simplifying docs though. sometimes copy / format editing can make a difference
@cdevroe @davidmead I still don’t know how to use Brid.gy. I’ve tried three times. No idea. The site makes no sense to me. (twitter.com/_/status/824291868066410500)
snarfed still useful though! eg i just filed https://github.com/dshanske/bridgy-publish/issues/21 which would fix some of his publish confusion
