Why do you need that, so people can reply to individual paragraphs?
Discussion
Yes.
Can you insert images between paragraphs? Not sure but I don’t think so.
There’s something powerful about the thread format and you know it.
Yes you can. Look at this on primal: https://primal.net/thread/note1nv60mxjn8x8m29yn668vl5xkfluj95xd7hla3u8l4drvng702n3sr422y0
Should we do this on damus? Would be easy
The readability of that post is incredible. Def helps authors and creators. Something Twitter doesn’t have.
But was going to before they killed the planned merge of review into expanded threads.
We could even pull in longform notes as well from https://habla.news
It’s almost like accepting the inevitability of markdown was the right move all along ;)
Isn’t it just a matter of displaying images where people put them instead of grouping at end? What’s that have to do with markdown?
💯 it would be awesome to have a picture placed at a specific location on a post. And it would be nice for the all the hyperlinks to websites and media not show, not sure how difficult that is.
This particular post is quite long, so looks like it belongs to habla.news , but the feature itself is nice, can make it much easier to get your point across.
Looks great in nostrgram.co (browser based client). You raise an interesting end user point though -- how should tweet style and longer format be intermixed or not? (not talking technology per se, but from a user perspective. Do we give a choice to have them mixed? I don't want two clients, one for short and one for long form, yet at the same time they are different.
Didn’t see too many Medium Stryker posts on twitter-like clients. Plus e.g. Damus has a feature of hiding the lower part of the post above a few hundred characters, so we should be fine 😄
I do like the idea of separate clients for article size posts, like Habla.
I think we will see users getting a choice of different ways of dealing with this in different apps... I would like all the content in one place, so maybe that is NostrGram. Will and the Damus community might get a feature to by default not include long form, or some other approach.
That is a very nice looking layout.
One of the things we were going to build for Twitter for longer tweets was the ability to select any text in a tweet and be able to respond to that directly. A bit like a highlight or markup. Highlights would have themselves been retweetable and replyable. It was cool.
makes sense
Interesting…
you are a genius, I would like to learn from you, I follow you here and your work is magnificent 👏👏👏🤝🇵🇹
This is really cool, especially as Nostr allows you to post longer notes.
That would have a great way to have pinpointed discussions!
I think this. It reminds me of the feature in Medium.
We could put replyblock metadata in a reply. Clients could use this to show most replied-to sections of the post, etc.
For example, imagine clicking a highlight and then seeing a subthread with all the replies to that section.
You can kind of simulate this with threads but highlights would be more granular and would work really well in long posts.
It would be awesome if such a system was cryptographically sound. Eg quoting by referencing the note by hash, and then specifying the start and end bytes you are actually quoting. (Though Unicode will make for some odd edge cases there...)
It would just be tag metadata in a reply containing start and end bytes, which is already cryptographically sound because tags are covered by the id which is signed.
ok, this is very weird but I've been thinking in this for a while now.. because I don't want to use markdown I'm trying to come up with a system that would tell where to format but the content itself isn't "coded", and all of this I was thinking in using simple tags with ranges that tell what it should do to that piece of string, like italic, bold, list, etc.. but I haven't thought about the quoting other notes thing. I think this is worthy of exploring...
coooooool
It used to make me sad to think about what Twitter could have been, but now it’s just inspiring to imagine what Nostr can become.
Onward. 🚀✨
That would be cool. Just last week I vented about services not having this. Seems to be a basic need for communication on the web.
man this would have been sick!! twitter’s ability to allow annotation/discussion around any one sentence in a thread is so goated — really cool yall were thinking about that at the long form level too
Oh wow. I wonder what Twitter would come up with if they slept in today.
😈👨⚖️
this sounds like a great way to present retweets with even less context than already exists.
here I sign the note, probably shouldn’t present a portion of that as if it was signed by me when it wasn’t.
I really like this idea. Sometimes in longer tweets, you want to comment on one aspect but you can’t, so don’t bother as your response doesn’t fit with the whole tweet. Recent Twitter content and context has become remote and incomprehensible. I can’t connect so don’t tweet much about anything anymore.
Jack, was the highlighted text quote/response UI any different than a quote tweet?
Added Highlight & respond to specific text feature request to #damus board.
