I oversaw the creation of a #PHP #CRUD app for room #scheduling five years ago. It has been good, and has been in heavy use since then -- but suddenly has some issues, probably from #SQL logic -- and I desperately want a #REPL a la #Clojure.

@icedquinn Big agreement on this, though. Being the internal utility of a major organization + being open sourced can only help.

@icedquinn I believe DropBox dropped Zulip years ago, or at least Open Sourced them after ~18 months. I'm not sure whether Dropbox currently is financial sway on Zulip, but Dropbox did provide a burst of funding for the pre-release version back in 2018. https://zulip.com/history/

@icedquinn I highly recommend Zulip. Unlike other communication tools (Slack, Teams, Discord) it is based on a long-standing standard which it implements and enhances (email), and is also an excellent member of the Open Source community. I tried out their Docker version and was pretty pleased, then switched to their free hosted version so I didn't have to fiddle with Apache/Nginx/Docker stuff.

Another great #Zulip function: because it supports #email to post, it is possible for me to send my same daily standup message to the three different groups to which it applies. You can multi-post when the recipient groups don't share a view.

I use the excellent #emacs #Telegram app; then it's easy to open a given link in a text-browser is pretty nice for avoiding annoying ads (could also use Spray mode to speed read it, if I want, instead of the two-pane reading view). #FollowMode #W3M

The data coming through the pipeline on one view was missing a crucial piece. It was sweet to be able to add it to the back-end function that is gathering the data, evaluate the form, and boom! It was there for my front-end view as soon as I used my usual endpoint. #Clojure #ClojureScript #FullStack #repl

@worldsendless@mastodon.online interesting that Twitter gets an image preview of this (even when it is crossposted) but #mastodon does not. Anyone know why?

@LouisIngenthron other than muting a user, do you somehow just block a keyword, or how?

#LiveTweeting seems to be a practice that is uncomfortable to some #Mastodon users, who curate their feeds to avoid noise. How do you feel about #LiveTooting of events as they unfold?

Every time I have to resort to using a string selector in #clojure #garden #CSS, I feel dirty.

#emacs

I have my #clojure #timbre #logging to both a file and database. It appears to just STOP after a few minutes of operation -- but we have no idea why. Restarting fixes it for a few minutes. WHY?
