@globcoco @freemo Yuo will have to use a Web browser for it, but then, we all have one or two running all the time, no?

85 Tabs open here currently, lol... 😛

@globcoco

I am referring to our Discourse Forums, Coralie -- they need a separate account, just register with the same username as here, and an email and soon you are in.

That's where we have the new Pinafore sub-forum, all for it and other areas for different things.

Like these blog posts I am making now -- they are easy for me, since I built them in the Forums months ago.

😺 And this Cool Cat is on a Roll today!!

A second full featured page completed.

The First one, not announced yet -- already has ** 70 Views ** wow...

New page is for Remote Domain Subscriptions :

https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/qoto-extras-4-domain-subscriptions

@globcoco Pinafore is definitely a beautiful client. If it wasn't for the special ultra wide screen setup I have here, I would use it exclusively.

@globcoco

>> Would you do a post on how to be efficient on computer.
>> Writing and exchanging might be a hot subject for me.

I plan to do some Guides to new Bloggers, highlighting the methods and tools that I use.

The Forums here can be great for a Draft -- the editor on it has Bold, Italic, links, etc.

If you get a nice draft done, it can be easily imported into WF. Minor touch ups, and a new page is done.

I just finished a second one -- because these Forum posts are so well formatted and the writing is all done, it just becomes touches, and image crops, resizes.

Definitely a Good idea -- get an account in the Discourse Forums and you can create posts in a logged users area only, so they are not in public view.

@freemo

@freemo @globcoco

And to mention features... New kick butt page ready.

https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/qoto-extras-quick-view-remote-timeline

Will prepare an announcement soon. But it's live, online now. Looking good too.

@globcoco Ooooh.

I was trying to understand.

>> A very interesting feature this quote tab

The control for Quote, no it's not included in Pinafore as it's a pretty new and exclusive feature Qoto has.

@globcoco Thank you -- so the correct form would be mon amie ?

@freemo We could mention him, but I try to keep that at a minimum, so I don't disturb him with tons of notifications. Maybe you can send a DM -- @ nolan @ toot.cafe is the address.

@freemo No, I have not seen a support or discussion forum for Pinafore anywhere. Nolan has been seeing my posts, I also posted at his home instance and he has boosted the various announcements. I think he's happy, as most authors don't get much recognition for their work.

He's got his own project Git -- https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/

So I think he might be ok. I do believe if we get more people participating this will be recognized as a unique resource.

@freemo I am hoping with the announcements of the new Pinafore Forum, we could get people joining in to read, and hopefully sign up to participate too.

Koyu just sent me a message this morning, she made a contribution to the Pinafore Git site, which I foudn awesome (allowing for connection to Whitelisted instances, like hers atm).

https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/pull/1799

@freemo Yes, come and get in, Perks are free but stock is exhausting soon. 😜

@gioypi @perceptivemind

Note to Self -- those are ready for a Blog post -- which would look pretty and document them well, spread the word. Add to clipboard notes...

@gioypi
Easy -- the Subscribe feature will Allow you to :

* see any Public posts that user makes.
* NOT show any post with higher privacy level.
* So it's NOT invasive as some people argued when this came online.
* Allows you to see posts without connecting and notifying the user.

Sometimes useful, for people who have locked accounts, which require approval for Following. However -- they should know that PUBLIC means just that, and have no expectation of Privacy in anything sent Public.

Worth mentioning that these and other new features introduced in January 2020 have really nice Documentation -- produced by myself, modesty apart... 😉

See them here -- one feature per post. https://discourse.qoto.org/t/qoto-org-new-january-2020-features-added-detailed-descriptions/192/

@perceptivemind

@globcoco And a new Forum Introduction page, also produced today.

#Creative #Writers #United

>> please be aware that some dc's are owned by US based companies.

Data Centers? Would be under European jurisdiction, locals laws applying. Although I would still prefer to not have a Byte stored in a server under possible pressure from US 3 letter acronym agencies.

@freemo

@globcoco Check out the new blog page, today's.

A mention included. Thanks for the inspiration!

* Pinafore Client for Fediverse now has a Forum *

A new Pinafore client discussions Forum is now online at Qoto's Discourse Forums

We now have a new sub-forum, dedicated to the powerful and fast Pinafore client for Fediverse instances -- Mastodon, Glitch-Social, Pleroma are all supported.

I am a big fan of Pinafore, since first trying it. It is a popular client with power users, as it is FAST and Light, plus has elegant design, clean UI and many nice features.

Not only we have the new forum, but I have just collected a topic we discussed in our local feed - https://qoto.org/@design_RG/104322150988664364 -- and made it into a prettier, formatted and in-line illustrated page.

The way a good manual page could be; and there's a need, the documentation available is very limited; so I plan to add to it.

** Assigning Colour Themes to Allow easy Multi-Instances use in Pinafore Client. **

That is the Topic of today's Blog -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/pinafore-client-for-fediverse-now-has-a-forum.

*Topic can also be seen at the Pinafore Discourse Forum* -- https://discourse.qoto.org/t/assigning-colour-themes-to-diferentiate-instances-at-a-glance/295

See Snapshot for Release Announcement in a GlitchSocial instance.

@freemo That sounds good.
