I was just looking at this: Chris Eppstein on Twitter: "There's an *awful lot* of JavaScript that exists solely because the developer didn't know CSS well enough." - https://twitter.com/chriseppstein/status/908332267394580481 |
| 02:57 |
|
prologic |
this is very likely true |
| 13:59 |
|
aditsu |
prologic: I know some html and css, no idea if I'm better than you |
| 14:00 |
|
aditsu |
pdurbin: Harvard is in the news recently, made me lose a lot of respect for them, do you have some thoughts or updates on the drama? |
| 14:02 |
|
pdurbin |
prologic: Is the code at https://github.com/prologic/notes ? |
| 14:02 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: uh oh, I guess I haven't seen the news. What happened? |
| 14:03 |
|
aditsu |
pdurbin: they invited Chelsea Manning to be a visiting fellow, then CIA got mad, then they uninvited her |
| 14:03 |
|
aditsu |
and said it was a mistake |
| 14:04 |
|
aditsu |
here's a clip about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENjMCfqQDn8 |
| 14:05 |
|
pdurbin |
hmm |
| 14:35 |
|

I hadn't heard of The Young Turks but I'm checking out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Turks |
| 15:28 |
|
aditsu |
yep, biggest online news network, I often watch them |
| 17:09 |
|
prologic |
pdurbin: is what? |
| 17:10 |
|
prologic |
aditsu: mind creating an account at git.mills.io and and have a look at something I'm hacking on? :) |
| 17:10 |
|
prologic |
I've not decided on open sourcing / publishing it yet |
| 17:13 |
|
pdurbin |
I guess the CSS has to be open. :) Downloadable, at least. |
| 17:14 |
|
aditsu |
ugh |
| 17:14 |
|
aditsu |
I dislike registering for stuff |
| 17:15 |
|
pdurbin |
looks like prologic is using https://gitea.io |
| 17:15 |
|
pdurbin |
at least there's a "sign in with github" button |
| 17:17 |
|
aditsu |
I actually tried that, but then it still asked me to register with a username, email and password |
| 17:20 |
|
pdurbin |
bleh |
| 17:21 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: what are you hacking on these days? |
| 17:23 |
|
pdurbin |
your text editor? |
| 17:24 |
|
prologic |
pdurbin: hah good point |
| 17:25 |
|
prologic |
huh really it still asks to register even with logging in via your github account? |
| 17:25 |
|
prologic |
that seems weird |
| 17:26 |
|
prologic |
aditsu: don't worry I'll just put this thing up |
| 17:27 |
|
prologic |
just a sec :) |
| 17:27 |
|
pdurbin |
How does one learn CSS properly in 2017 anyway? |
| 17:28 |
|
prologic |
NFI :) |
| 17:28 |
|
prologic |
I just use spectre css these days |
| 17:28 |
|
prologic |
seems nice to use, lightweight and does most of what I need |
| 17:30 |
|
pdurbin |
lightweight *and* modern according to https://picturepan2.github.io/spectre/ |
| 17:30 |
|
aditsu |
pdurbin: not much "hacking", got some work to do |
| 17:32 |
|
aditsu |
"Lightweight (~10KB gzipped)" - bwahaha |
| 17:34 |
|
aditsu |
also, the concept of "CSS framework" itself seems ridiculous to me |
| 17:34 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: you're all business :) |
| 17:36 |

https://cooee.mills.io/ |
| 17:36 |
|
prologic |
hold on; have to fix a small bug :) |
| 17:37 |
|
prologic |
aditsu: when you can do CSS really (at all) you actually find things like spectre really useful since someone has already gone to all the trouble of doing a whole bunch of common things you'd want |
| 17:37 |
|
prologic |
:) |
| 17:37 |
|
pdurbin |
like making it look good on mobile, I guess |
| 17:39 |
|
pdurbin |
my wiki could use some serious CSS love: http://wiki.greptilian.com |
| 17:39 |
|
prologic |
okay it's up |

pull requests welcome: https://github.com/pdurbin/wiki/blob/master/local.css |
| 17:40 |
|
prologic |
can I just slap spectre on it :P |
| 17:41 |
|
aditsu |
prologic: so what do you want to do? |
| 17:41 |
|
prologic |
aditsu: right now I'm working on the auth backend |
| 17:41 |
|
prologic |
what are your thoughts usability/UI/UX wise? |
| 17:41 |
|
aditsu |
I thought you had a css question |
| 17:42 |
|
prologic |
nope :) |
| 17:42 |
|
prologic |
Google is good at answering questions :) |
| 17:42 |
|
prologic |
more looking for feedback/suggestions 'hey you could improve xyz by doing abc" |
| 17:42 |
|
prologic |
I'm not terribly convinced on the timeline features of spectre and the way I'm using it but *meh* |
| 17:42 |
|
aditsu |
well, I don't know what it is, but I think you should put some vertical space between the search box and the text area |
| 17:43 |
|
aditsu |
is it some kind of comment system? |
| 17:43 |
|
prologic |
oh god I didn't noitce that :) |
| 17:44 |
|
* prologic |
is blind ;) |
| 17:44 |
|
prologic |
let me add a mt-10 there |
| 17:44 |
|
prologic |
aditsu: tl;dr building some kind of decentralized twitter thing |
| 17:48 |
|
prologic |
fixed the margin thing :) |
| 17:48 |
|
prologic |
and oh ooops forgot to persist its volume/data |
| 17:48 |
|
prologic |
haha |
| 17:48 |
|
prologic |
aditsu: that's already useful feedback :D keep 'em coming :) |
| 17:49 |
|
aditsu |
um, ok, that doesn't require any knowledge of html/css :p |
| 17:49 |
|
prologic |
no not really I just added a mt-2 there and done |
| 17:50 |
|
aditsu |
I mean from my side |
| 17:50 |
|
prologic |
my plan (if I can get the auth backend working soon) is to have this thing running for real by this weekend/today |
| 17:51 |
|
prologic |
on non-HTML/CSS things; haven't thought how I'm going to solve for syncing to other instance yet (decentralized p2p type stuff) |
| 17:52 |
|
prologic |
also as a side note all the stuff I've built thus far has had very little (if at all) JS so things work without JS really |
| 17:54 |

so I actually just went down town to get a massage and replied to a few cooees on my phone |
| 20:13 |
|
prologic |
works nicely os far :) |
| 21:15 |
|
pdurbin |
prologic: so cooee is a microblogging site? |
| 21:15 |
|
prologic |
we'll see |
| 21:16 |
|
pdurbin |
how mysterious :) |
| 21:16 |
|
prologic |
once I get some kind of secure auth going the next bit Ill work on is following other instances |
| 21:16 |
|
prologic |
p2p |
| 21:17 |
|
prologic |
the expectation is you'd run up your own instance and follow james cooee.mills.io :) |
| 21:17 |
|
pdurbin |
ok, so like mastodon or whatever |
| 21:18 |
|
prologic |
yup |
| 21:18 |
|
prologic |
came across that one actually |
| 21:18 |
|
prologic |
didn't like it :) |
| 21:20 |
|
pdurbin |
It's hard to keep up with all of them. |
