Almost. He mentions that it should be to "start a record" and "go back through the chain of thought", also "long-lived special-purpose communication apps". MST is semi-ephemeral so doesn't entirely qualify.

I've been thinking to myself that I need to get back to this as well. I still haven't added enclosure support, must get round to that soon.

I thought Dave Winer's recent post on a "social network for two" could be satisfied by MyStatusTool/MST-PHP - what do you think?

Hello Colin! I have been trying to help John Philpin with a glossary plugin on Micro.blog, but swinging back to MyStatusTool now...

If you find you're being asked to log in every time you go to the site, you're probably opening it via a bookmark that goes to the old URL.

You can edit bookmark so it goes to https://feedland.org/ -- note the https.

If you don't want to edit the bookmark, another fix is to do a hard-reload of page. We fixed the problem in a new version of the client software.

So - RSS Cloud plugin site and Radio3 do not show up for my MST-PHP tool. Radio3 does not show up for MyStatusTool, so I am going to assume that Radio3 is having some issue (Dave Winer's Radio3 feed is not showing up in MyStatusTool or MST-PHP).

Receiving you loud and clear. But for some reason couldn't reply - a glitch preventing me using the reply arrow on the first item. Will investigate tomorrow.

Posting from FeedLand works in MST-PHP, maybe Radio3 is not pinging...will have to investigate. Still, not seeing post from my WordPress.org RSS Cloud blog, would welcome any suggestions on what to look at...

Colin, I am still seeing some "subscription" problems in MST-PHP (seeing external posts in MyStatusTool, but not here) - any thoughts?

Interesting - I re-subscribed to all my feeds, and added a new one, then tried to post from Radio3, have not seen the update yet.

rssCloud now appears to work properly in FeedLand thanks to help from Andrew Shell. He runs the rssCloud server all our outgoing feeds flow through, and it's why updates are so fast for some feeds. Feeds, with rssCloud do a pretty good job of doing what Twitter does, but with much less software.

I'm thinking about moving this to my rssCloud server so you'll need to redo the subscription afterwards. But I'll let you know when I do.

I think I have just figured out my WordPress caching problem. My hosting service (Bluehost) has a site caching setting. Once I turned that off, I saw updates right away on FeedLand and MyStatusTool, and it showed the correct feed item. Whew!

I just checked items.csv, those duplicated posts had double entries in items.csv. I also noticed that there are 163 items, should I do that "clean" operation?

I think I've got it worked out so background updates will not add items from feeds that don't belong in the active river. This is a test.

Colin thanks for the note. That'll be something to find when we're sweeping up the dust from the floor. FeedLand is recovering from an identity crisis. It was in a sense lobotomized. It's something of a miracle that any of this works. :smile:

Colin if you want to get to a place where structure and order is easily editable, give outliners a try.

I read the bit about /now pages. But blogs already have the idea of now. It’s your most recent post.

Anton, I saw your note about items from feeds showing up where they don't belong. This is an area that has never really worked. I have a lot of work to do there to get it right.

I believe I've fixed the bug where clicking the thumb-up icon updates immediately when you click on it.

Greetings everyone. There's a new feature coming as soon as I get the "last bug" out. I put that in quotes because I keep finding more edge cases.

If you have questions about using FeedLand, use the GitHub support link in the Docs menu. Much easier place to answer questions, sometimes we need to ask questions to narrow things down.

The web has not gotten nearly the respect it deserves as a writing environment. It's been crippled by neglect, greed, complacency and cynicism. And jealousy -- professional writers are contemptuous of the idea of amateurs writing brilliantly. But it's not too late.

Hello FeedLand πŸ‘‹

I put a lot more thought into how FeedLand does things than I did with River2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

I reasoned about title-less posts -- if it doesn't have a title, then don't display a title. The writer didn't want one. So they made the decision for me.

I phrased the question this way -- WWFLD? What Would FeedLand Do? ;-)

Ken, that's beautiful. Try to imagine what kind of news product The Atlantic would have. What publications do their writers depend on? What bloggers do they read. What blogs would they read if they read blogs?? ;-)

Hello FeedLand πŸ‘‹

I should've done this from the start, but I didn't want to start off on a negative note. I've been hosting discussion groups on the net since the beginning and these days spam and abuse start pretty soon, and there's no negotiating with it, you need clear rules and no tolerance.

So you have to have a policy ready, and I do -- they're called the Comment Guidelines, and they apply here. They're easy to follow for most people, and we need them to protect against spam and abuse.

I'll include a customized version in the Docs menu, soon. ;-)

@mahu -- yes I'm still seeing it too. i think i really have to wait to work on stuff like that until i can re-focus on that part of the system. feedland is a huge piece of software. and sometimes i have to re-learn how the pieces fit together. ;-)

Another example, I added a tool-tip to the user's feed name in the User Feeds page, but it comes out as a regular title, not the easier to read tool-tip. It's still useful so I left it in, but the feature is unfinished.

I had noticed that when you click the Like icon in the User Feeds page that the like count wouldn't visible increment even though it was incrementing in the database (when you reload the page it shows up).

But when I went to fix the bug, all of a sudden it's working. Oy.
