Another idea I have is to introduce user hyphae as a separate hypha kind, along with textual hyphae, hyphae with attachments (+ optional description) and forthcoming alias hyphae. Additional file type with extension By the way, there is no such concept as hypha kind in Mycorrhiza code base. Introducing it means making a big and a pleasant refactoring. I don't expect everyone to agree with this message. Please discuss. |
Sadly, we can't store users' passwords in .mycouser files, so we'll have to have some storage for them anyway. Otherwise, sounds like a good idea to me. |
Passwords are to blame, right? Damn these passwords. Bring back the days before they became a thing... |

Here is a sudden advantage of storing users as hyphae in git: new users appear in history! This is cool imho. |
IdenticonsWhile checking out Syncthing, I noticed cool 5 by 5 pixel monochrome images. Many websites have similar things, but I liked this implementation more because of the lack of colors. Turns out, this pattern is called identicon. And so I thought, why not have them? A little SVG image beside every link to a profile, isn't it cool? You can take a look at Syncthing's implementation of identicons, but it is of little interest. |
Three years later, I think I want to have user profiles as separate entities and refer to them with |
Currently, the concept of a user page is quite limited. What do we have? There is a link to your user hypha (usually
u/<username>
) in our miserable top bar. There is a button in the editor tool bar that inserts a link to that hypha. History and recent changes have such links too. That's it.Here's how we can extend it.
I also want to use the word profile for user pages. Phrases like your profile too.
I expect everyone to agree that the ideas in this message are worth implementing. If I'm wrong, please tell me why.
