When I search for an post / comment (item number) in the Search, it does find the posts and comments that reference that number in the search results (e.g., search for 9184), but shows it like this (with items/:_high[number] instead of items/[number] ): [Updated: I had to insert a character, "_", so that it would show the : high word here in this comment, but the actual search results do not have the "_" character.)
https://stacker.news/items/:high[9184]
Is that intended?

Oh, that's how you have Highlighting for search results. Appears if that's part of a link then there's a problem exposed.

Yeah, adding a tag before the markdown is rendered was fastest way for me add highlighting. The problem is when in its nested inside other markdown, you get this weird issue. There might be some kind of escape sequence I can use to avoid this but idk.

They must have added footnotes more recently. I'll ship an update today.

Updated my seed signer software from 0.4.3 to 0.4.5 and broke the key 3 button on my waveshare HAT. Shout out to the seed signer tech support on telegraph always prompt responses!! They recommended a new one a set back of $20. The button broke due to my crypto cloaks case screws not fitting properly after the reinstall. Looking forward to firing up my seedsigner again

Saweet. Saw the twitter embeds are live, too, not sure when that happened. That's cool. Does Widget.js load only on pages with embedded tweets? Also, is there no websockets here, I just opened console and every second there's some kind of post to the SN graphql API? Also, on this page I noticed that it gets pretty dark. I wonder what, like, Reddit (similar gui/format for comments) does to combat this issue, because it seems like threads could get super deep and then you'd need like a white font.
Anyway, it's busy season for me so I don't have much time to lurk, but just wanted to say what you guys are doing is awesome. Keep it up!

Hey mudl! Twitter embeds were a couple weeks ago. It probably loads on all item pages unless I were to load it dynamically.
is there no websockets here No websockets. Polling is easier and scales better.
Also, on this page I noticed that it gets pretty dark. Yeah it's a bummer. One thing I can do to keep the aesthetic is flip it back to lighter and lighter, then back to darker and darker an so on, but ... otherwise the move will probably be to do the vertical line thing reddit and twitter do. Idk.
it's busy season for me Make sure you leave some time for fun! 🍻

Going to upgrade the db in a bit so the site will probably be spitting out errors.
