That looks pretty neat. Thanks!
Hi I’m Phil 👋, I’m a software engineer, and I maintain an open source push notification tool called ntfy. I’m also German 🇩🇪, and a big fan of 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸, and a dad of two 👦👧
That looks pretty neat. Thanks!
You really should. It’s pretty darn amazing.
I have noticed that I use it less myself. I think honestly though, at least for me, that it is 90% related to the clunky and awkward UI of ChatGPT. If it was easy to natively type the prompt in the browser bar I’d use it much more.
Plus, the annoying text scrolling thingy … Just show me the answer already, hehe.
Thank you for contributing to the magic of the old school internet.
My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?
There are plenty of instances that copy the original content. As an instance owner that runs a only a single project specific community, I should be able to decide what content is available on my domain, and what isn’t. Don’t you think?
Aside from the questionable content, there is also legal issues around it that I’d rather not deal with.
There is no way to exclude individual communities. The post URLs are generic, like /post/1234. From nginx or other proxies, I cannot tell what community they belong to. I would love to have my own be searchable, but not at the price of tainting my project’s reputation.
Related to another Reddit app, but not RIF:
The Relay for Reddit dev (u/dbrady) is bravely working on Relay. I got an update yesterday. The changelog said “further reduce API calls”. I think he actually wants to make it a paid app, which I’d gladly pay for.
I hate the Reddit change as much as the next guy, but if the Relay dev can actually make a profit from it that’d be awesome. The app cost a one-time $4 or something, which I’m sure he never made bank with. Having like $3-5/month for it would probably be sustainable.
That … actually looks and feels pretty slick. Very neat UI.
