#147 Notices: Organizational Lists - Socializing Listography

Open
opened 3 years ago by thndrbvr · 3 comments

Basically, aiming for a Social version of https://listography.com/ which is a personal list making website.
Listography's made by two people in their spare time, it's simple and great with no ads or tracking but, non-libre and, while staff is there, updates haven't been applied in a very long time.

Rename the current Lists to Actor/Account Lists and call these Organizational Lists. For short, maybe "orgnz lists"? That looks sloppy. Perhaps someone will come up with a better, shorter term by the time this is implemented, if it ever is.

Support for:

  • #tags
  • Maybe a predefined category in the subject line -- see Listography for theirs
  • Re-arrangable. Drag & drop and by editable numbering system from -1000 to 1000 or some other large arbitrary number. Something too large to ever be reasonably hit by one Actor/account but not so large it slows the site.
  • It'd be awesome if there were at least support to change the font to
    • serif
    • sans-serif
    • monospace
    • cursive
    • fantasy
    • mathematical symbols: LaTeX https://oeis.org/wiki/TeX If that could be handled in general.

Even better if an instance could host additional OTFs that would show up in the list. Users should be able to override the display of these, except math, to their chosen font. Typefaces should federate. Emojis of all sorts should work and have a maximum limit that's really high.

Lists should .slide down if they're too long. See https://davidwalsh.name/css-slide for examples

This should be a separate section in an Actor's Profile, like Bookmarks.

I think I'm done with this? Basically, take all the ideas from Listography and implement them elegantly in a GS fashion. I need to leave for the day job so I hope these ideas are interesting, doable, and my points got across!

Why not just doing a note with markdown list? But +1 for latex support.

Yes, that's how it could be implemented but, it should have it's own "Post: notice, bookmark, list, etc" and show up in it's own section on a user's profile.

ANYTHING can be posted as a notice but when features are added people do them because they are features and that gives something extra for people to look at, share, and discuss. Without things being specified they aren't done and when they are, nobody knows about it.

Plus, if there's some way to rearrange these then it becomes even more stuff for people to do (which is always a good thing because then it means they use the site and have a reason to visit in the first place which leads to more engagement and thus the fediverse grows)

See #176 for further arguments.

I don't really care how it federates to AP sites. It can just go through as a regular notice with regard any privacy settings.

Addendum: Groups could make particular usage off additional orglist functions inspired by https://kanboard.org/

Under the orglists user profile section, it could be similar to how the timelines will look but have different categories like Kanboard and Listography have.
