I want to do a code competition. It's a fight between stacks. Which one is the best?
The idea is to write a devrant clone in your stack and see how far you'll get in 8hrs.
These 8hrs are pure for coding and testing. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE:
setting up tooling (installing python / npm)
configuring repository
docker configuration (if you want to use it)
How to join: write a comment with the tooling you're about to use (python, node, js, ruby or whatevs) and how far you think you'll get.
Extra: 8hrs is of course nothing, but we can extend this hackaton with 8hr a few times.
Add new thread page is where you can fill all needed fields.
Use a unique name for your application - it must not nonchalantly use the word "devRant", as it is taken and is a trademark. Append | devRant Clone to that, and your title is ready!
Fill out the body with optional, but contextually interesting, information and links:
My synopsis of what my application does that resembles devRant.
- Used tech stack
- Used data
- It took me <?> hours
- What is different
---
- Demo
- Screencast
- Source code
- Screenshots come in the comments below
Paste the tags: devrant drcj jam hackathon entry
Mark your work as OC, if all qualities specific to a devRant clone were implemented by you and you only.
Attach an image before submitting. It may be your main page or whatever makes the thread appealing and unique.
Press "Add new thread" button to publish!
Post additional screenshots via comments below, if any.
@melroy OK, it seems like the post with underlying thread of replies disappears from the Microblog tab in /m/testing when author removes their parent post, but it's still accessible here by URL and says "deleted_by_author". I think all is fine except "deleted_by_author" part :)))
Terms "thread" and "post" are often used interchangeably on #Kbin and across the #Fediverse, but, as a reader, you still would like to have some guideline.
Threads are a primary tool of presenting information on Kbin. Think of a thread as a magazine clipping: you cut it out and proudly place on your wall. All you see from afar is a title and some preview image (if any). As you skim over the magazine and click on one such clipping, the entire thread opens before you, now including comments.
Posts are a secondary thing on Kbin. But don't let it fool you: before long, you'll have a microblog of things to share. Yes, posts are usually viewed in the context of Microblog, the section adjacent to Threads. One can call post a micro-thread, of sorts. Unlike your run-of-the-mill thread, a post can present text without any pretence. Reader scrolls through Microblog and they can see contents/replies right away. While lengthy discussions may be collapsed to 1-2 recent replies, it's made so to let other posts shine. As a reader, you don't have to change pages to expand the post.
Use Threads to present a pertinent material.
Use Microblog to share any updates, tips and little stories.
Whenever you visit #dRBB, you will see slight changes in the #Kbin header. I moved instance's home link to the right to prevent any accidental exits. And there is now a solid icon just in case.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a reply.
After some work by contributors of #Mbin to introduce an indication of magazine in the top bar, I'm happy to say that it's more clear now WHERE on the site you happen to be. Happily, my little CSS trick has adapted to it quickly, but I made #dRBB icon smaller to prevent it stealing space.
Again, thanks to the Mbin contributors! There is a lot of work done already, and I feel confident with this fork of #Kbin to improve one of the store fronts of Fediverse.
Hey Everyone, I am Sid. I primarily work with NodeJS and Laravel and I have 7 years of experience at the time of writing this.
I have a YouTube channel where I post tutorials.
A fun discovery today: you can expand embed on a thread with a multimedia link, it's one click away and doesn't get you away from #Kbin. See this little photo-film icon right under the author? When you click it, the embed drops right under and you can:
do a lot more without ever leaving Kbin (meaning there are more media websites that we're left to explore!).
