how i'm imagining our MVP of DMs will work

  • unencrypted to start, and clearly labelled as such
  • a DM is just an item (like posts and comments) under the hood
    • like a comment, a message is text field for SN flavored markdown
    • the first DM between sender-receiver is the root of a private SN thread between sender-receiver
    • receiver and sender can reply to each other indefinitely in this private thread
    • no one but sender and receiver can view the thread
      • future versions might allow inviting more stackers to it
      • future versions will be encrypted
    • why: we get to reuse ALL our existing code for threads, live comments, notifications, zaps, etc, and everyone is already familiar with the UI
  • not much new UI except
    • a button to send someone a DM by visiting their profile
    • decoration to communicate the thread is private
    • settings for DM cost to >=1 sat (30% goes to rewards pool, 70% to the receiver)
      • when stackers receive DMs, the notification has different copy that maybe stands out a little more

I might add: consider making the UI for DMs unthreaded. Under a threaded UI, long chains of replies are hard to read because of the max depth. This makes sense in a free-for-all discussion, but not so much for a 2-person text chain.

I'm fairly opinionated on that point. I think they should be threaded. I've been stewing on my detest of bolt-on DM systems for years.

If our threads aren't good enough, they should be made better - improving both DMs and threads alike. That assumes the deficit isn't fundamental to DMs being ordered as trees though. But, the average DM UI are lists of messages and lists are trees with only a trunk/branch so we can probably just improve how we display trees in certain situations and get the best of both worlds.

reply

Yeah, makes sense to keep them threaded under the hood. I think it's more of a display hack for detecting what kind of message tree you're in (maybe some node count / max path thing).

My main point is that for a long chain of direct replies, some of the UI features of threading, like indented blocks and max depth, may be UX-reducing

Yep, we just already need that display hack for comment threads too.

Saw some odd editor behavior on android PWA, will try to repro and file you an issue later today or tomorrow.

Could be because what was a textarea before is now contenteditable=true. I'll check for weirdness on my devices.

Makes sense because it went away after reboot - caching issue?

reply
100 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 10h

I wouldn't be surprised but you have the new UI in your video which shouldn't contain stale references unless there's some bug upstream in our bundler or downstream in the browser cache.

I'll continue to be skeptical of contenteditable=true just to be safe.

It came back. I'll try to figure out what triggers it in the am.

Based on what sox was saying, it sounds like the browser wants to delete whole words and we are doing something that prevents that. We also deployed some fixes an hour ago, so it could still be some cache thing.

It went away after a phone reboot, so may just be a caching issue... will build a full github issue if it comes back. Here's the screencap:

This was actually really helpful, it’s something I can reproduce myself on iOS (although not like this).

iOS tries to delete whole words when holding the backspace button, this doesn’t work very well outside of a textarea. Will see how to make it consistent.

More evidence that iOS UX > Android UX <saddest face emoji>

Glad I realized I should boot between to exclude any secret system browser caches. Caching issues cross-upgrade are always forgivable.

People in 2012 - doomsday is coming and we all gonna die People in 2025 - QC is coming and we all gonna lose our corn And these are the people worried about QC and all other bullshit things they see on TV and media... and gaslighted by influencers and snake oil sellers.

But they never worried about real things that threaten their live every fucking day: governments and fiat. And they still believe in them. I have a message to all of you worried about QC: sell now all your corn !
