It is more random than that. This post, for example, seems perfectly happy to let me click on the reply icon and start typing. On the others, I didn't think to try clicking first in the box.

Inconsistency is the worst. If I had to click first, every time, for everybody, I'd accept that.

Yes, all pulled into the one post's page.

  1. My vanishing reply box seems to be affected by you only. Am I being punished?

Huh! Now reply is working.

Looks to me like your Known site is also a bit underused. Have you written about what you're doing with it etc etc?

Oh dear. So sorry to raise this, , but when I go to reply to this post [10centuries.org] I get the disappearing reply box problem. I forced a reload, and it didn't go away.

What I would have said is, it isn't link follow hell because you don't need to follow the links. They're all there displayed with the original.

Good for you. I think a total break is needed often, just to let the brain get on with the things the brain does so well.

Something like that, yes.

Ideally, the bunch of social posts is under some control, rather than using in-message flags. On Known, I have two toggles that determine whether the post will go to ADN and Twitter. It looks like this:

Known does each social integration with a plugin.

I guess the other thing 10C would need would be a way of showing, visually and in conversation view, what is here and what is somewhere else.

I got the link for your post, and replied to it from my Known site.

This [vaviblog.com] is the result.

Does that make sense?

In the principles of IndieWeb, if I see, for example, a Tweet, I can open my site (there's a bookmarklet for this) that allows me to place a reply on my site. And if the Tweep has IndieWeb too, my reply shows up as a comment to their original post.

I'll see if I can do it for a post here. Hang on.

Re the formatting. I'm sure you're right, and I'll do that. Also to remove bolding. Other rendering engines don't require that. Cf. Quirks. :)

For the rest, it isn't fair of me to try and drive you to develop in ways that suit only me. I do believe that you are very well positioned to offer the kind of turn-key IndieWeb operation that was pointing at in his post about generations. But only if you wanted to.

Everyone apart from Jason will just have to ignore the formatting. Only Jason can fix it anyway.

(See what I mean about tinkering?)
