The Glowfic Constellation
Re: The Glowfic Constellation
The idea would be that you just fill in "previous thing" when creating the post and the Constellation then has enough data that it could make that tree.

But it's often not anywhere near that simple.

Re: The Glowfic Constellation
Multiple boxes for filling in? Alternatively not named prerequisite but 'helpful context' or something with less need to evaluate whether a certain thing counts? Or some kind of graph thing?
The WAFFLES will submit to this indignity.
Re: The Glowfic Constellation
"Some kind of graph thing" sounds hard to implement, "multiple boxes" sounds like it'd be annoying clutter, but "helpful context" sounds like a good idea.
Of course, the site couldn't then build a dependency graph (well, unless it scanned all the links in there and took them all as prerequisites) but I do not personally care too much about this – it would likely be a lot of effort and really low priority.

Re: The Glowfic Constellation
Too tired to respond to comments now, will do so later. This includes Moriwen's Tumblr post, which I treasure and deserves more attention than I have brain.
Throne things:
- Fixed Hebrew bug
- Added a character profile page
- Added a button to subcontinuity pages to allow creating a new post
- Previewing a reply saves a draft automatically
- Filters non-visible posts from search results
- Collapses author lists of 4 or more into an "... and x more" item which links to the full author list on the stats page
- Renamed Daily Report link to be less confusing
- Hidden posts are now paginated
- Bugfixes to the unread status on the arrow on Tags Owed
- Tests, glorious tests
My things:
- I wrote myself a scraper that isn't command line so I don't have to log in to Heroku to run it. Requires all characters to already exist on the Constellation.
- Fixed the button on subcontinuity pages to not break when the user is logged out

(Oops.)
The new character profile page includes a description box also!
Thanks, Marri. (I agree that Moriwen's post was great.)

Re: The Glowfic Constellation
Everyone should read Moriwen's tumblr post about the Constellation because it is great and because Marri and Throne should be showered with praise.
*praise praise praise*

Re: The Glowfic Constellation
Also, because we reward good work with more work, the one thing I need to completely and totally move on from DW is an author page (à la character descriptions and all that); I like having an index where my threads are listed with short descriptions like I do here and it'd be pretty great to have that on the Constellation.
