#prologicFor example trying to convince your family/friends to join Signal, because it's arguably probably the only decent e2e encrypted service that actually gives two shits about your privacy and security is a "hard" task
#jackythe hope is that, by using the properties a endpoint defines for a post type, I can make an editor ask what kind of post one would like and it'd present a form with said fields (optional ones not immediately shown)

#jackyheh I was actually building this with you in mind [schmarty] from our prior discussions on it
#jackythat "Edit For" button would be the way to craft posts on the fly
#jackyit's a bit like the icon of posts that Quill has
#jackyright now, I'm trying to generate the mf2 json on the fly

#[schmarty]I got a glimpse of it and am pretty excited to see where it goes. Visiting from my phone and found that it refreshed every few seconds so I couldn't dig too deep 😅
#sknebeljacky: do you have a writeup of your various code bits and their status somewhere?
#sknebelpoked around a bit on git.jacky.wtf, but thats a bit unclear without deep digging
#jacky[schmarty] oh yeah, it's living on my computer
#[schmarty]jacky: ooh just reading your updates to the Lwa page. i was just talking about the PWA-with-a-proxy approach with a friend this week. i feel very vaildated to see you building that way 😂
#[schmarty](i've been thinking too deeply about trying to do everything in the browser and falling back on the proxy only when the browser can't, like because of CORS)
#jackyheh that's where I'm at - the browser can do the work of stitching together the mf2 json pretty well; anything else that _has_ to live on a server can be put there :)
#Murray[d]counterpoint for relative dates: I find that kind of date much easier to immediately parse. Like, right now I look at Maggie's site and see it says "1 week ago" which is *way* easier for me to immediately grok than if it said something like 22/02/22. And for most content, just a vague idea of age (x months, x years, etc.) is all you really need to know to properly understand its context. The exact date is overly specific 🙂

#Murray[d](and that's not even taking into account how hard it is to read dates thanks to the variety of possible formats. Is 01/02/22 in Feb or Jan? Who knows! But 1 months ago, that makes sense)
#jackyMurray[d]: yeah, that's why I always adapt timestamps to local human friendly vlaues like that
#jackylike values that wouldn't require math to determine how far it is from right no
#GWGThere are some people who have a mix...for the first few days it is human time differences, then after that it is absolute dates
ShinyCyril joined the channel
#jackyhm that does make sense when it's 'old enough'
#Murray[d]I can understand that but I wonder whether the only reason older dates seem less confusing is that people will just look at the year and ignore the rest; they effectively convert to "x years ago" themselves, so it might be better to just provide that directly. Though I'm aware I use absolute dates on my own site, so a bit hypocritical 😀 It's interesting to think about though 🙂
