Stackoverflow uses HTTP 404 for deleted questions, where 410 would be more appropriate (example). Not that I’m one to talk — #taproot returns wacky wrong codes for most things. #todo: fix this

Also found this excellent shot of Jovian Salak, casually geographing:

Which reminds me, I still want to make the “Geographers” mock TV series intro.

To try later: IP-over-SSH tunneling using sshuttle #bookmark #ssh #todo

#todo: write a browser extension which overrides Facebook’s über-shady LinkshimAsyncLink rewriting. What you see should be what you click.

Checked into Gullfoss, Iceland.

#todo: photos + location in the same note. Currently photos are email upload only. Other possibillity is to derive location data from EXIF metadata

So I got in-stream reply contexts showing — perhaps summaries of #indieweb comments next? I like Facebook’s approach of showing the last 4, a total count and a “show me more” button, which could be implemented simply as a link to the note page initially.

Reply context stream example: http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes?tagged=reply

Still TODO: make the ↪ a link to the in-replied-to page, add the datetime to the title for that link, remove the in-reply-to info from the bottom of in-stream notes as it’s noise now

Posting a note from a partly-disembowelled machine in Hakkavelin, Reykjavik. #todo: IP-based location approximation and/or geocoding, i.e. I enter the address and OSM tells me what the lat/long is. Potentially some redundancy between the two could be applied.

This evening’s project: catching up on a bit of #taproot dev. #todo:

• remove lines — whitespace FTW
• get rid of crappy AJAX+backbone for calling new note UI into notes page, replace it with iframe+postMessage

Thinking of making a #taproot listener which detects slashtag use and puts everything after the slash into a small element in a new paragraph. #todo

Pushed some styling improvements to individual note pages as a result of some brainstorming earlier today. Splitting the content into Primary, Contextual, Metadata and Network will give me a solid foundation on which to add more information (e.g. mentions).

One thing I haven’t added is an “actions” section, mainly because of double-click-to-edit. That only applies to the main content, though, and I have some other actions like syndicate to facebook, so I should make a section for those.

Pushed lots of note UI updates to #taproot today, including porting almost all the #js to Backbone. Still #todo:

• Improving location UI: improve cancelled state text, fix located state
• Make a view for note lists, inc. event handling like add new note to the list when it’s posted from the dialog. This will also minimise the number of requests.
• Make the backend auto-add hashtags to the note tags property. It should have been this way all along.

Reminder to self: all existing online survey services are crap, build a better one #todo
