• a [[list]].
  • [[irregular]].
    • An always incomplete collection of my [[intents]] :)
    • #pull [[todo]] [[now]] [[next]] [[some day]]
  • [[meditate]] now.
  • process inbox (pushes to this node).
  • configure [[probing]]
    • I never get to this, can you tell it reminds me of work? :)
    • I need to just set a pomodoro and do this, but I feel like running the agora at low slo is OK. It’s supposed to rely on distribution later on for reliability gains.
    • Doesn’t really apply as an argument to [[moa]] though — although for [[moa]] we have [[sentry]] set up so that seems reasonable.
      • set up [[probing]] for [[moa]]
    • -> As of 2024 moa is no longer supported, we shut it down when Musk closed down the API. I intend to bring it back, maybe for [[Fediverse]] <-> [[Bluesky]] — but [[Ryan Barrett]] solved that with [[Bridgy Fed]]. So now I’m back to trying to make it work for Twitter again, even if it means paying, and running an instance for a closely knit community.
      • set up [[probing]] for [[anagora]]
    • Hmm, I should still do this :)
    • I also need to do something similar for [[social coop]] ideally, so maybe I could try to solve both at a time.
  • [[push]] [[agora]]
    • implement [[auto pull]]
    • fix toggle switch for [[auto pull]]
      • this refers to /settings which has a toggle
      • hmm, maybe I should just embed the settings page in the burger. that also frees up /settings for the actual node about [[settings]] :)
      • I already have the burger menu working in a branch, which is nice
      • implement a toggle in the burger menu :)
      • implement [[auto push]]
        • probably requires [[agora protocol parsing]] to make efficient/reasonable
    • …I wrote at some point in time. Now it’s implemented, both when you say #push [[example]] and when you use a colon.
    • So I’ll think about it but maybe this is done-for-now.
      • client side pulling
        • done for: mastodon, twitter, wikipedia
        • need to test general URL pulling, see how many sites allow iframes
          • test with flancia.org
      • This is done :)
      • improve [[agora graphs]]
        • I like what logseq does: show link direction as particles. push/pull could be different particles. hmm. particle diagrams. check out [[feynman]] for inspiration?
    • this is still a good idea honestly, and I always want to work on graphs - could get inspiration from some diagrams in [[a rosetta stone]]
      • [[wikilinks everywhere]] -> [[agora ext]]
        • I really want to move wikilinking to on-demand (push button/ctrl-shift-l) or cronjob-like behaviour but right now it just wikilinks everything every time you click, and some sites break
          • this is already better after a quick PR to linkify on click instead of mouse movement
          • twitter still sort of breaks though
          • [[vera]] is on this though
      • [[agora server]]
      • parse agora protocol
        • recognize (match) and style differently
  • [[push]] [[agora interlace]]
    • [[agora social media integration]]
      • write [[agora bot]] for [[mastodon]]
      • write [[agora bot]] for [[twitter]]
        • fix auth
          • restore context
          • this could be a great workaround for the worse of the re-replying behaviour, and probably will be needed even if I want to support zero state best effort
        • fix deduping
          • need to do this again
      • test [[vera]]‘s code for pulling tweets and toots
        • only pulled some for some reason
        • figure out what’s up, try again and get the context back
    • [[agora bot]]
      • fix twitter so it doesn’t keep re-replying
      • the API doesn’t feel great, I wonder if I’m missing something
        • I thought I’d done this but it’s still failing in some cases, [[s5bug]] gave me a test case, I think I put it in [[agora twitter bug]]
      • refactor mastodon<->twitter so they share code? I don’t want to implement everything twice, and I certainly don’t want the mastodon version to suffer because I’m addicted to twitter (great people there as well, and there are more of them)
    • [[push]] [[agora bridge api]]
      • build/release [[agora bridge api]] for the storing posts in the agora.
        • we want to create a git repository for each calling users, which the users could then [[claim]].
        • could be flask, included in [[agora bridge]] repo, copy/paste from [[agora server]] to begin with?
          • nope, it is typescript thanks to [[vera]], looking forward to set this up :)
        • but hopefully they can just communicate through yaml? or perhaps set up and write to sqlite to begin with
        • thought of consolidating everything into [[agora server]], but it feels cleaner to have writers and readers split. should scale better; if the write path goes down, the agora keeps serving just fine without having to do anything special.
          • probably keeps it simple to run a read only agora (mirror).
      • yes, going with [[read]] ([[agora server]]) and [[write]] ([[agora bridge]]) apis
      • request new git integrations (e.g. mount git repo X in path Y)
      • accept other inputs? like perhaps subnodes, which could go into a managed repo.
      • configure sources from social media (from agora bot)
      • in general this unlocks better [[signup]]
  • [[push]] [[moa]]
    • review [[go/moa/bugs]]
  • [[slay moloch]]
    • [[chase moloch]]
  • [[write]] - [[flancia]]
    • [[book]]
      • choose [[top 5]] nodes to expand on
      • edit https://flancia.org pull
    • [[iremos juntos hasta el final de la noche]]
    • [[slaying moloch]]
      • [[building bridges]]
      • [[finding isomorphisms]]
        • measuring distance to an isomorphism? there must be a term for this
    • [[node club]]
  • [[patterns]]
    • [[after the pandemic]], or [[an open letter to the agora]], or [[an open letter to an open nation]]
    • [[on cringe]] / [[agora polls]]

      • is [[hack the planet]] cringe? should it be?
      • why is it cringe to talk about virtue?
  • [[read]]
    • what [[will walker]] told me about
      • link it here
      • this is past due
  • [[push]] [[weekly]]
    • run [[weekly review]]
    • it turns out I do a run through [[do]] weekly at best as of late, so this is my weekly. I’d love to make it daily though. perhaps I could auto-pull [[do]] from the journal page? just the subnode for the ‘active’ user.
    • promote [[do]] to nav item?
    • we could also have ‘this week’, ‘this month’, ‘this year’ in the agora, have it rank top nodes in time scope, allow users to pull specific nodes from each view
• an [[agora action]]
  • I try to automate recurrent [[actions]] in the [[agora]]. This node is the root of my [[getting things done]] graph, which I try to use to model my [[intents]].
  • [[daily]], I try to check here for pending [[work]] in all known sources of truth.
  • [[weekly]], I try to run [[weekly review]] and [[garbage collect]]
  • [[monthly]], I try to check the context in more specific actions/nodes and push relevant items here or to [[next action]]:
  • what should I [[read]] next?
  • what should I [[write]]?
    • [[flancia]]
      • [[book]]
      • [[an open letter for an open society]] (this has many titles)
    • to [[a. p.]] asking for a recommendation
      • hmm, I don’t know what this means :) as in, I don’t know who I meant by [[a. p.]]

      • [[browse as]]
      • parse [[agora protocol]] (see below)
    • [[wikilinks everywhere]] / [[agora ext]]
      • could [[d3]] replace [[jquery]]? it would make it easy to also include a graph tool directly in the library. it’s 200kb though.
      • but we could just add [[force graph]], in general have the client side code from [[agora server]] be also there and potentially work in every agora/every place with wikilnks or links (pulling could be useful on every site)
    • a more flexible [[actions]] system
      • what does this mean? :)
      • write something better or remove on next collect
    • [[project snapshot]]
      • model my digital existence as a sequence of computational snapshots
      • what complexity class is this in generally?
      • what is the [[zero]]? as in, the starting state.
      • probably [[browser tabs]]
      • then more generally programs running, including optionally their context
        • could make it easier to actually dedicate one workspace for every project — the dream of [[richard francis burton]] IIRC?
• Please tell me what you think I should [[do]] next (or instead of the things I’m doing or planning to do) below in the Stoa, via social media, or via any of the channels listed in [[flancian]]. All feedback is welcome!

Highlights

• Try and tickle something inside you, your “weird humor.” You belong in the most secret part of you. Don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool. Make your own, your own world. If you fear, make it work for you — draw & paint your fear & anxiety.

I think I’m going to start using the stoa in [[do]] to keep my top level todo list — or at least my [[inbox]]. Unfortunately [[do]] the node is overloaded, and this is very convenient as I can just edit it in any browser :) Feel free to do the same if it helps! (I’ll likely soon add one doc per user in the Agora.)

• #push [[done]]
  • I don’t finish a lot of things, but when I do, sometimes I push them to [[done]] :)
• #push [[agora plan]]
  • [[agora 2022]]
    • [[agora chapter]]
  • [[agora 2023]]
  • [[agora 2024]]
  • maybe sign up for [[open university]]
  • write [[building bridges]]
    • I think about this a lot but for some reason I never get to work on it
      • related to [[knowledge commons]] and [[protopoi]]
      • the [[commons]] aspect is probably top priority
      • some of this is now in [[agora chapter]]
• code [[agora server]] / default UI
  • [[recursive]] experiment
    • I shipped this and I’m happy :) It did away with a lot of bugs!
• code [[agora bridge]] / bots
  • [[agora bot replies to wikilinks from followers]]
  • [[agora bot links wikilinked posts from followers]]
  • [[agora bot]] links from [[matrix]]
  • [[agora bot stores messages for users]]
    • I shipped this as-is (writing to disk) but only for users who opted in, like I did.
    • we are for now blocking on giving each user an independent (git) repository that stores their messages instead of using a centralized approach.
    • it does do this for matrix messages by default though, as users have joined a room with an agora bot or have remained in its presence + used wikilinks, and the fact that this happens has been communicated
      • let me know if you find it problematic though
      • add support for #noxp tag, like [[moa]]
• code [[auto pull]]
  • perhaps base it on inline transclusion like wikipedia/url pulls
    • update (2023): yes, this is the default approach to all integrations nowadays.
  • this is partially implemented now, finally
    • I think I added this as ‘node X pulled by Agora’
      • I don’t remember where the code is :) I think there are currently two different paths that pull things?
      • It should be easy to find though.
• code [[auto push]]
  • [[foo]]
    • foo gets this line auto pushed because it’s a wikilinked parent of a block (as defined by indentation or user set syntax)
    • this is still not done surprisingly! I’m not sure it’s actually blocking on getting a proper [[agora protocol]] [[ast]]; we could extend the current [[lxml]]-based hack.
    • honestly parsing the DOM of a site sounds like an OK approach? that is, when it doesn’t include microformats, etc.
• see also: all pulled and my [[journals]].
  • #pull [[todo]], [[now]], [[later]], [[next action]], [[plan]], [[did]], [[done]] :)
