Next Gen textboard features

Ideas:
- federated (boards can share threads & replies)
- tags rather than boards
- multiple markups (bbcode, markdown, sexpcode/lispmark)
- OAuth & PGP for "secure" tripcodes (novelty)
- "flair" (tripcodes / secure tripcodes have small bio pages, and can pick a color for their tripcode)
- youtube embed
- Various thread modes (sticky, lock, stickylock, permasage)
- IRC, Discord, microblogging integration

•☰ menu
•progressive web app features: https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/
•open graph protocol for links, sans og:image because this is a text-only board
•pseudo-youtube embeds -- there is a youtube thumbnail and it only adds the embed when you click on it (video embeds make a page slower, especially if there are lots of them)
•client-side ability to hide or display youtube embeds (maybe you don't want to see thumbnails of youtube videos)
•ability to hide threads client-side on a per-thread or per-term basis (like filtering posts/threads that contain the word "lisp" or "anime")
•CSS3 animations instead of things happening instantly
•Angular to make it a single-page application instead of clicking to go to separate pages
infinite scrolling
•spinning loading icon and blank box elements to hint at things loading
•VirusTotal auto-scans all links posted
•Spamhaus and malwaredomainlist to vet links
•the ability to pay for promoted posts -- they get seen more often than non-promoted posts (like promoted tweets)
•hashtags instead of boards, i.e. you write a post and tag it with #prog, and you can even multi-tag a post, like #prog #infosec
•bug bounty program
•public RESTful API for people who want to archive or learn more about archived posts
•the ability to have an anonymous "timeline" (like twitter, but with no account needed) where you can view a feed of multiple tags at once, with real-time updates, example: combining #lounge and #prog
•optional push notifications for when there's a new post on your personal timeline
•ability to report threads or posts
•ability to delete your posts
•"front page" showing the threads with an algorithm similar to reddit's "hot" posts (lots of posts in a short amount of time = "hot" thread)
•responsive design
•progressive web app
•ability to mark posts as SFW or NSFW
•ability to view or hide NSFW posts
•upvoting without accounts, similar to ylilauta -- might be a bad idea due to tech-savvy people manipulating the votes
•checkbox for sage; get rid of email field entirely
•flat-ish design, maybe with some subtle material design elements

relative time stamp, ex: "5 minutes ago" instead of 9/18/2018 1:00

This thread gave me kanker.

Stickies are garbage that moot shouldn't have imported from SA.

- federated (boards can share threads & replies)
- tags rather than boards
- OAuth & PGP for "secure" tripcodes (novelty)
- "flair" (tripcodes / secure tripcodes have small bio pages, and can pick a color for their tripcode)
- Various thread modes (sticky, --, stickylock, --)
- IRC, Discord, microblogging integration

Big cringe.

I thought you were serious at first.

>>6
I'm dead serious

>>7
The beauty of textboards lies in its simplicity. What you propose is an imageboard with images disabled.

>>8
PWAs/SPAs can be relatively simple or minimal, at least from a frontend perspective. But "simple" is not synonymous with "outdated." This site looks like it was made in the 90s.

>>8
Also, if you think my ideas are like an image board, I guess you don't know how outdated most image boards look, and what I am proposing is making a text board that is more like Twitter without images or accounts, not an image board without images.

This is perfect the way it is. It's the right tool for the job. Funny how this as a 90s style website has better mobile usability, better load times, better reliability, and better SEO than 90% of big budget React/Angular ``webapps''. And it's all just a one off Perl script. Beautiful.

>>11

This is perfect the way it is.

No it's not, you're just change-averse. Sour grapes.

people who accept the status quo are huge cucks tbh

Do you think a textboard should use a database or are flat files the standard ?

Shii used flat files, Kareha also, the others I don't know.

>>1

- federated (boards can share threads & replies)

NNTP

- tags rather than boards

..except in a stackexchange style

- multiple markups (bbcode, markdown, sexpcode/lispmark)

Use a script

- OAuth & PGP for "secure" tripcodes (novelty)

We do not need tripcodes at all. OAuth is cancer and anyone who wants to identify themselves can use normal OpenPGP.

- youtube embed

This would be a perfect example of something that one can easily implement using a client side script.

- Various thread modes (sticky, lock, stickylock, permasage)

We already have these.

- IRC, Discord, microblogging integration

Cancer
Also, how would this even work.

☰ menu

I don't get it.

pseudo-youtube embeds -- there is a youtube thumbnail and it only adds the embed when you click on it (video embeds make a page slower, especially if there are lots of them)

Client side script

ability to hide threads client-side on a per-thread or per-term basis (like filtering posts/threads that contain the word "lisp" or "anime")

Client side script

CSS3 animations instead of things happening instantly

I.. This has to be a joke, no?
If you hate yourself so much use a client side script.

VirusTotal auto-scans all links posted

VirusTotal is a cancer - they do not publish their db.
What if I wanted to post a link blacklisted by virustotal though?
Same question goes for

Spamhaus and malwaredomainlist to vet links

Anyway, client side script.

bug bounty program

Solution: don't implement bugs

ability to report threads or posts

Censorship is bad

ability to delete your posts

Might as well be censorship

"front page" showing the threads with an algorithm similar to reddit's "hot" posts (lots of posts in a short amount of time = "hot" thread)

Client side script that reads threads.txt

ability to mark posts as SFW or NSFW

You already proposed to add tags, why also add this?

upvoting without accounts, similar to ylilauta -- might be a bad idea due to tech-savvy people manipulating the votes

Why not use a client side script for this?

checkbox for sage; get rid of email field entirely

Good, idea. Have you considered making a client-side script for it?

flat-ish design, maybe with some subtle material design elements

Can be trivially done using a client-side script.

>>3
Have you tried using a client side script for this?

>>14
File-systems are databases.

>>15

☰ menu

I don't get it.

a hamburger menu
it's a button that shows some kind of option s. Think mobile apps/sites

>>15

Client side script

Why do you keep saying that?

That's the same problem with vim. By default, it sucks ass, and they expect the user to spend an inordinate amount of time customizing it. It should be good BY DEFAULT. None of this minimal-site-with-500-userscripts-to-be-usable shit.

Solution: don't implement bugs

Now you're just trolling.

You already proposed to add tags, why also add this?

Because people won't tag #sfw or #nsfw for every thread. Not everything should be a tag. Do you think sage should be a tag? Tags aren't suitable for everything. Even on Twitter, NSFW isn't a hashtag, it just makes it so that it's hidden by default unless you click to show it or change your settings to view sensitive content.

Censorship is bad

Reporting bad content (malware, illegal content, spam, etc) is not censorship, you retard.

>>18

Why do you keep saying that?

Because it is the only proper solution to your issues?

and they expect the user to spend an inordinate amount of time customizing it

The world does not revolve about you. if they did not expect you to customize it, then they would have to expect from everyone else to customize it.

Now you're just trolling.

I am never trolling.

Because people won't tag #sfw or #nsfw for every thread

They won't mark "nsfw" posts as such either then.

Do you think sage should be a tag?

I can not see why not.

it just makes it so that it's hidden by default

Can still be done as such with a tag.

malware

Malware is often useful, for archive, research, and whatever else reasons. Removing it IS censorship. If you believe that something is malware just say it in the thread along with the reasoning behind your thought on why it is.

illegal content

So.. state sponsored censorship?

spam

You can use a 3rd party censorship list for that on the client side.

>>19
retard

>>20
Is everyone who disagrees with you a retard?

>>21
if you don't like my replies, make a script that changes them

after all, you think user scripts should be used as a bandaid for everything

>>22
I don't see the point in that.

>>23
Nah, user scripts can't undo your brain damage.

>>24
you are literally autistic

>>25
What makes you think so?

>>26
your insistence on dumb shit like client-side user scripts for everything and not being able to realize when your dumb ideas are wrong and sounding completely tone deaf in your autistic posts lacking the ability to see from other people's perspectives

All of these features are essentially client side features, with the exception of maybe upvotes.

I think the ideal scenario for a programming board like this would be to release a public API over HTTPS which users can use as they see fit in their client applications. That way users can make anything from an Emacs client to an iOS app, the whole 9 yards if they want.

>>28

All of these features are essentially client side features, with the exception of maybe upvotes.

Federation and censorship too

>>27
How are they dumb shit if it solves most of your issues?

not being able to realize when your dumb ideas are wrong

Explain to me then.

and sounding completely tone deaf in your autistic posts lacking the ability to see from other people's perspectives

Every looked in the mirror?

>>15

Solution: don't implement bugs

Hackers hate him! This genius anon found one weird trick to solve security and basicaly your're are an anus!

>>29

Explain to me then.

Why should I explain it to you when you can write a client side script to figure it out, retard? lmao fuck off

#rekt

>>31
I am the original author of 4chanx.

>>33
no, your're are an anus

>>33
who?

>>35
anus

>>33
no wonder you're autistic about everything being a client-side user script instead of being built into the site lmao

the 4chanx guy wants websites to have limited features so he can feel useful by making user scripts for people to download to add features that make the site actually usable, and he doesn't like when sites have good features on the site itself because then he wouldn't be praised for making a script

>>38
I have not released a script in years.

>>38
lol He can hack my Anus (-:

premium membership (payable in crypto ofc) that allows power user features such as quote optimization and sexp code

Built-in keylogger.

>>1 Are you the guy developing 4taba? I'm lucky I grabbed the source early, because I've got to tell you, I really don't like the direction you're going in.

>>43
direct my dubs

hopefully this thread is a joke

A joke is funny. This idea is good.
