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.
Hah all the feeds came back, thanks to fixing the configuration error. Still diggin as the man says.
Agreed. Radio 3 definitely doesn't seem to be sending pings. I don't get any here or to /reader.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside come inside.
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).
I will update my install later today or first thing tomorrow, then will do some tests.
I found the problem: I wasn't accounting for things like apostrophes in feed names so it was breaking the link.
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.
Changes to subscribed items are now updated in items.csv and reflected in the timeline. See the changelog.
I've never received a ping from the WordPress blog either, I'm not sure it's sending the notifications.
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...
Story about this show
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.
Now spotted another issue where updates to posts aren't being fed through properly. 🙄
Spotted an issue with the subscription endpoint so will fix it later.
Done!
Hello! I am back from my trip, ready to get back on the MST train!
Just checking the feed is getting rebuilt correctly with the new cloud info.
Hope you had a nice time.
I'm going to switch to my rssCloud server now.
Sounds good! We are approaching the end of our trip, looking forward to maybe doing a little programming on the plane...
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 still have a problem subscribing to this URL in PHP-MST: https://scott2.andysylvester.com/feed/
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.
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam where the sky is not cloudy all day. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and ubegatta mamamia.
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.
I've been using FeedLand only with email login for the whole day, with zero problems. It feels like it's ready.
I have made a change that requires me to test my personal feed, I am doing so now. Let's see if this mofo works. It did work. Now let's see if I can edit the post.
If you have feature requests post them in the GitHub group so I can respond with questions to clarify.
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.
I'm playing with something new. Forgive me while I test it here. It twerked.
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.
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?? ;-)
I wrote a piece today for people who develop feed readers to make their products work better for writers and readers.
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. ;-)
I made the User Feeds page my home page for now.
But I can also think of new pages I can create just to be my home page.
No specific ideas yet. 🦊
@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.
To feedlanders, the NYT is on strike today. Should I turn off NYT feeds for today?
Gabrielle, you can start a new issue on GitHub with your ideas, but please flesh them out, it isn’t obvious what the context is.
Ken the enclosure element in the feed is the only legit way to include a podcast in a feed. You can put the url in the text, but that's just a link, not a podcast.
I forgot that Drummer handles RSS feeds and can expand them in the outline. Thanks to PMG for figuring that out. ;-)
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.
Seeing this intermittently — “getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN” when trying to load FeedLand.org.
