I wonder if we need a page / site like this for HWC: http://uxhappyhour.com
#
tantek
Or if it would help to update the current /HWC to have a simpler design at the top like that
#
aaronpk
that looks nice
#
aaronpk
maybe a candidate for homebrewwebsite.club

Btw I did get feedback that people still appreciate having a FB copy of indie events eg for HWC. Perhaps for the calendar view or the reminders.
#
[tantek]
Hmm I don’t know about :crossed_fingers: for the emojicon for /want
#
[tantek]
Fingers crossed is informally an expression for hoping something happens (or doesn’t) that you otherwise have no control over
#
[tantek]
Whereas a /want is presumably something you can make happen and you’re just making a note of it
#
[tantek]
[chrisaldrich] can we come up with a better emojicon than :crossed_fingers: for /want ir at least drop it? It seems disempowering for a /want post

Tantek I'm not married to it but couldn't find anything I liked better either. I thought it had to much of a wish /hope/chance/connotation too

Perhaps you could make your first /want post, the emojicon you'd like for that page? ;)

That’s a good implied question [chrisaldrich] - do we need to distinguish wants for groups vs wants for yourself?
#
[tantek]
They feel quite different
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
They are different. In particular one could be used almost as a voting mechanism for creating a group platform.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Platform in the sense of a political party's direction for example.
#
[chrisaldrich]
There may be a non-Eurocentric emoji with a better connotation. I did some reading and research for the emoji for wish and found something I would never have known about otherwise.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Of course I may be imputing a subtle meaning into it that might not be culturally solid for others.

what is want?
#
Loqi
want is a rare post type on the indieweb, where the author posts something (acquisition) or experience (book to read, movie to watch, venue to checkin, food/dish they'd like to try) they want get or do https://indieweb.org/want
