Oh my god I think you solved a work problem I was recently having

I also write on the go and reference on the desktop later. What is your current workflow? Apple Notes would be great except my work computer is windows, and apple notes in the browser is not great

I understand where you’re coming from because it’s true XML is going to perform the functions required without all the problems implicit with YAML’s “readable” syntax…

But I have worked with some very complex XML and I feel you’ve chosen a simpler to read example.

I have seen very complicated XML from Microsoft’s own configurations that is so large, long, and complicated that it is very hard to follow

Go isn’t the only language using YAML

I actually laughed out loud when I looked at the example and just saw a bunch of carefully-indented “.build()”s

My mother talked me out of going to school for programming, and a decade after I graduated high school that’s what I ended up doing anyway, realizing it was going to lead to better prospects.

This how I feel about vim too. I’m sure there are editors I would like more but I work on remote servers every day, some of them lightweight, and vim is already going to be on all 500+ of them as part of the OS install.

Why don't you do something like consolidate any posts made within one week to one post? Some have suggested a blog-like digest that gets posted once a week. Why not do something like what you're doing but make it one long post with multiple updates (maybe with timestamps)

Say I post something about my weekend on Monday, it could be important about the loss of a family member or the birth of a child. Maybe I don't want to wait a number of days for that to appear on someone's feed...

But I could also post something new later that week. If it was consolidated into a weekly post it'd end up more like a digest at the end, and someone logging into the social network on Friday would see everything that happened to me so far that week.

It's a play on some of the ideas others have had, but the trick is timing. If my posts are digested to a weekly summary, it's going to reduce incentives for anyone to log in and use the platform on any day but "post day". Additionally if I'm free on Friday to spend time on there, but your new digest won't be posted until Saturday, I'm going to miss everything that's happened to you all week.

I’ve done this before and it worked for me. Can’t say it will always go so smoothly though
