Ticktack 0.4.2

Patches

• upgraded dependencies to close some security weaknesses
• fixed a bug with publishing new Blogs
• added a spinner to indicate when a blog is publishing (gives user feedback + prevents double-posting)

0.4.1

Ticktack 0.4.1

This is a bug fixes and tweaks patch... and a couple of really tiny features D:
Will be released some time in the next week I hope

Here's what it includes so far:

• fix the search page results (stops them repeating)
• refactor of all the streams to be more performant:
  • much faster private message display
  • all streams are now 'stepped' at their source, making them much less memory intensive
• front page now displays blogs + posts longer that 2500 chars.
• markdown editor for blogs
  • exposes an alternate editor if you prefer to write in md
  • TODO - to get this out quickly, this currently doesn't support auto-saving of drafts in md editor mode
• unread count refactor
  • massive tidy up of the code (which might make it easy to learn from the pattern...)
  • now makes counting a lot lighter, by making a global cache that is only initialised once 😄
• translations update

0.4.0 pre-release 2

Ticktack 0.4.0 pre-release 2

Features

Dark / Accessible Theme (Beta)

EBT

Epidemic Broadcast Trees modifies how Ticktack gossips. It's more efficient - making for more performant replication, and happier less abused pubs!

Fixes

• handle brand new Scuttlebutt users correctly (a bug found by Marco)
• dont' display Stats page if Ticktack is using Patchwork server (as there are missing plugins)

0.4.0 pre-release 1

This time we're releasing the majority of the features for this sprint as a pre-release. We expect there to be parts which need attention and tuning, and would love feedback!

New Features

A beautiful editor for writing

• medium-style WYSIWIG
• auto-saves draft of your writing as you write

Sharing

• share blogs you've enjoyed with friends on the web
• reshare blogs to your followers on scuttlebutt

This is built on the awesome work of :

• @cel, @arj , @noffle ssb-viewer and blog plugins for that
• @mikey's new resilient docker-based pub setup

Writing Stats and Notifications

• quick overview of how people are engaging with your writing
• click on specific pieces to filter view to show just stats on that piece

• feeds to seeing who has been sharing, commenting on, and liking your work
• easy way to quickly reply to comments within this view

This has been made easy with @matt's mutant and the support he's generously offered me.

Bugfixes

• added Subscribe button back in (which I accidentally broke in the last installer!)

Features still to be build for 0.4

Backup & Restore your identity

This one is super exciting!
We are enabling users to export their private keys, and then safely restore their identity on another computer at a later date. (Note for people new to scuttlebutt - if you manage this poorly, you can fork your identity, and other peers will ignore your broken feed, so doing this well takes some care)

This is a pattern that others will be able to follow

This is going to be built on the work of

• @dominic's recent ssb-ebt

EBT

This is a replication technology which will enable the safe identity restore, but also add performance improvements to replication - dramatically reducing the number of weighty connections the sbot is juggling, and the amount of network chatter needed to 'keep up to date'

v0.3.3

This release folds in a bunch of the feedback from the Scuttlebutt community, and adds new speed-ups around subscriptions which makes the Ticktack super zippy
Enjoy ❤️
