Time S Nick Message
01:55 prologic heh
02:08 pdurbin 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 pdurbin 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 prologic 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
17:39 prologic https://cooee.mills.io/
17:39 pdurbin 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 prologic https://gist.github.com/prologic/c165403fb6ac07c16dc9fd6eeb8efbd2
20:13 prologic 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.
