I did not, thanks for the tag.
Firstly, I really like this idea. Both the general idea of calling commands with / and this way of implementing news2threads directly in the UI
The second thing I'm thinkin about is that news2threads and the archive.ph-idea are pretty close to each other in terms of both functionality and purpose. Perhaps there really isn't a need to develop the latter, and that we'd be better off focusing pressing on getting news2threads developed as you outline above. What do you think?
You bring up a viable point. The threadstorm that the articles are broken up into arent the same but is that necessary if you are dealing with volume. Probably not if it is heavily used.
I agree if there was something more pressing that we could use a chatbot coding for, that would be the wise move. For now, I keep adding the news2threads, hopefully it gets a kick in the future with the command prompt.
Sounds good. @kendewitt is currently looking into the feasibility and likely workload of actually doing this. Unless it turns out to be a super simple way to build it, I have a feeling our energy is better spent elsewhere, on the badges thing for instance
I do think a repository still have a great deal of validity. It would be an interesting application to have on here.
This is something that could really apply to the democratization of data that we need.
100%. I also like the thought of a dedicated front-end where archived articles can be recorded and fetched.
One point where the archive-idea and news2threads clearly differ, is the slogan the archive uses; "a time capsule for web pages!"
Yes. I like that. Certainly if we can do it, it is worth doing. It will be a major boost to the democratization of data. We can then post content before it disappears.
Hopefully it will not be too difficult to build.
I do like the potential of what it could do for the numbers. That could be something that sets things off on a large scale.
Hell 200 per day, at 5 threads each is 1,000. That could be done by 10 people. Just in the news threadcast along that could make a difference.
