What is a question
#
Image
Loqi
question is a post type for soliciting answer replies, which are then typically up/down voted by others and then displayed underneath the question post ordered by highest positive vote count rather than time ordered https://indieweb.org/question

[aaronpk]: really good response!

GWG
aaronpk: By the way, is Compass on that list?
#
Image
GWG
I know you said the other day you were thinking of going back to it. It is another one with an old framework
#
Image
aaronpk
i haven't touched it yet, but it's in the queue
#
Image
GWG
It is still the best for what I am doing, even though I decided to see what else is out there.
#
Image
aaronpk
then you can look forward to it getting even better soon
#

GWG
Good, because since I added mandatory PKCE I haven't logged into the UI
#
Image
GWG
But that is more that I never wrote that per site override I meant to until that was available
#

aaronpk
😬 oops sorry

GWG
aaronpk: Not a problem, I accessed the data via my website. But I have some ideas there. Right now, I am using it to find all the math mistakes I apparently made in converting metric to imperial
#

aaronpk
classic

GWG
Also order of operations rounding errors, PHP 8 compatibility issues as I wrote it on 5.6...all the fun stuff I would not have easily dealt with
#
Image
GWG
So similar to your approach. I read every line of the PRs before merging.

I'm just looking forward to a better codebase than I'm capable of. Then I can think about new stuff.

Also I have some writing to do. I want to talk about my experiments with alternative location trackers
