Honestly, a little advertising wont hurt. I always feel weird talking about my projects online though. I need a space where it’s not an asshole move to advertise lol.

I've got something really good cooking for gemini CGI enjoyers. I've generalized Hidden Nexus' form system (like radio buttons, multi select, text, etc.), and made a library that makes creating interactive Gemini applications a loooot easier. Just import and define what elements are in a form and it'll render/handle all the interaction automatically.
>
More information coming up as I prepare a demo release. The form system is done but I'm working on some niceties and config options for the library.
>
I'm confident saying that I could rewrite hidden nexus with this. I'm not going to or anything (yet) but I hope other people find it useful and make really cool things with it.

In today's episode of "What's wrong with the miata", after getting an oil change I was told that the right rear CV boot is torn. Explains some of the sounds I hear when moving out of a stop quickly. I can get a replacement boot pretty cheap, and it's a quick install, but I'm considering replacing the whole set of rear axles. That's something I might take to an actual shop just to make sure it's done right.
>
Then though, I'm thinking about how if I'm replacing the rear axles I might as well get a limited slip diff because I've wanted one for a while. But that's probably stretching my "well might as well" a bit far.

I'll be honest, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I forgot that I made a library to abstract a lot of the form and DB stuff.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I plan on implementing identity updating as soon as I'm able! It's been suggested a few times, and is necessary for the longevity of the capsule. I’ve been… busy the last few months but I finally have enough time to work on fun projects again. I’ve also been itching to rewrite the CGI scripts for this capsule (making a library and docs to use it). It does cool things like abstract forms and auth to ifs and one liners. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while, but I’m not making any promises; my schedule may fill up again. Committed to getting identity updating done asap though!

I usually use web resources, a lot of the time I watch stuff from numberphile, 3blue1brown, and other similar YouTubers! They focus more on the intuition of math, which then leads me to looking up more things about those topics!

What do I need to do to learn abou technology and math? I am starting from the zero, recently i've found an old book about the teach of math at the start of 20s centure, there is a lot of content about the goals to achieve on the jorney to learn math. I think this book can be really useful, the major books today just are made to you do tests and do not to really understand what you're studying.
What do you think is the best way to I learn?

I've decided to turn it into a kind of general document storage. I want to get a terminal epub reader set up, get a small oled (or even better, eink) display to hook it up to.

The reader I want to use (bk) is written in rust, and the RISCV MUSL platform isn't amazingly fully supported (the RISCV GNU rust compiler is just a download away). I spent way too much time yesterday trying to get it working, but once I do I'll have a low memory low profile compiler on the system.
I'll keep progress updated here! Probably in this thread.

I got my submission for ROOPHLOCH in on time! The client wasn't mentioned on the main post but I'm there along with 15 others who participated in the list of posts!
>
I also said in my ROOPHLOCH post that I'd release the source for the client!
It's really messy, and was hacked together in about a week, so don't expect a beautiful elegant codebase or anything, it's a giant main.c (err... sockets.c, it was based off the devkitpro sockets example for TLS connections)

There's also tons of bugs and only one page of history (that's cached at least!)
Also you can quit at any time by pressing START.
Anyways, enjoy!

That being said, most of the capsule was built off of a python library a wrote in conjunction with the capsule. It helps abstract gemini responses, session management, and form page creation.

Thank you!!
What I was thinking is that when there are more users, or there are enough posts to justify this, that I'll make it so you see posts/likes from people you follow! That'll make it look a little less cluttered. (If you follow no one or enable a setting it'll just show everything still)
Then each post kind of is a thread for replies!

Hey sounds good to me, either way, and if quote blocks solely remain then so be it. It's lookin real fresh. I can't wait to see more people hit this platform up, it's a cool middle ground between the minimalism of station and the organization of bubble. Things are lookin up for the geminispace protocol. :)

A question to anyone here,
Do you have any specific niche places in gemspace you find cool for one reason or another?
>
I'm exploring more, and finding lots of cool things. The crawler has helped a little bit with that, but most of it is just exploring and reading what people have to say.
>
Anything cool at all! Just something kind of niche in your opinion.

That's correct!
The gemtext spec says that quotes are one to a line, but a lot of times quoting someone would take more

So Lagrange and a lot of other clients group consecutive quote lines together!

If you click on the date of a post to view it (or the interaction in a repost to save on space, they all have the same icon tho). All the interaction buttons will show up no matter what because viewing a post specifically implies intention.

I'm gonna swap the text over to a quote for post text

Thank you for your feedback! The key replacement mechanism is a really really good idea.
I'm going to work on that as soon as I finish the setting for preformatted block width, and the image stuff.
>
None of those are really that hard to implement, but I've just been enjoying my weekend after a long work week haha.
>
With preformatted text, I think it makes sense to manually split it up into smaller lines when rendering (it's still stored exactly as typed). How I've seen it is that a preformatted block can be formatted for the situation, hence the "pre" formatting. All within spec!

But I do understand the criticism and have been debating if a solution is needed. Thank you for posting!

Hi Morgan!

Happy to see another user!
Funny to find you post this, I'm actually testing the setting to change the width of the preformatted block line breaks!
Right now it's 55 characters, which is really nice on my desktop lagrange. I also got an email from a mobile user as well, so I'm working on the setting for both of you now! (and everyone else, it's a nice setting to have)
>
I like to keep preformatted blocks if I can, because it allows people to post nearly any characters they want. If it continues to be a pressing piece of feedback though, even with the blocks I'll convert things over : )

I really appreciate your feedback, thank you!

And thank you very much,
I have some fun plans in the future for this capsule.
Something like subdomain hosting for capsules for registered users, to provide hosting for formatted text.
Maybe a super compact viewing mode on here.
Taking a small break though to mess with the crawler before doing bigger things here.
But something like text formatting is a great idea.

I'm thinking of a few small to medium sized updates for the nexus, just some things that have been bothering me a little bit since I released it.

I think I want to remove the dob requirement for registration, as well as changing the tos so it's agreed by default (a "by registering you agree to blah blah blah").
I want to make the user onboarding experience a little easier, and it would make the registration page a bit cleaner.

I also want to open up post "images" to allow for any kind of link as there's not any difference between the two.
