7:04:36 Colleen <Hugo> good morning!

7:07:05 Colleen <Shinmera> Well, just woke up to an email telling me NLNet declined to give me a grant to work on Lichat. Oh well.

7:15:32 Colleen <Hugo> shinmera: sorry to hear that, I just looked up who they are and it's frankly bizarre that they won't support Lichat

7:16:22 Colleen <Shinmera> Probably more a lack of funding capacity.

7:18:56 Colleen <Hugo> Do you think spreading awareness of how projects like this would improve the internet for everyone could help? I'm not really a youtuber though

7:19:30 Colleen <Shinmera> Who knows. As I am right now it's not like I can work much on anything.

7:20:33 Colleen <Hugo> 応援してるよ＾＾

7:20:51 Colleen <Shinmera> Lichat could do with a lotta work. As it is right now I think it's not really ready for a public demo with "normal users"

7:23:57 Colleen <Hugo> what's priority #1?

7:24:12 Colleen <Shinmera> making the js client suck less

7:24:19 Colleen <Hugo> haha

7:24:56 glenneth2 Hey Hugo Shinmera

7:25:23 Colleen <Shinmera> hello

7:25:42 Colleen <Hugo> hi Glenneth

7:26:29 glenneth2 Shinmera, looking for contributors for Lichat?

7:26:53 Colleen <Shinmera> that'd be nice

7:27:05 Colleen <Shinmera> I'd like contributors for anything I work on

7:31:01 glenneth2 the priority is the lichat-js client?

7:31:17 Colleen <Shinmera> yea, it's the primary thing people get to see after all

7:31:39 Colleen <Shinmera> specifically making the things folks interact with about it as frictionless as possible

7:32:11 Colleen <Shinmera> fixing notifications, improving the login flow and basic design, fixing the history backfill, stuff like that

7:33:07 glenneth2 So the UX side of things?

7:33:29 Colleen <Shinmera> ultimately everything counts as UX in a way, but yes :)

7:33:43 Colleen <Shinmera> need to make a good impression that this is a system worth using, after all

7:42:25 glenneth2 OK. I see a TODO under the PR's most of it is checked off

7:42:51 Colleen <Shinmera> that's just the feature set coverage, not actually making it good and nice to use

7:44:04 glenneth2 Ah, OK. I see that now :)

7:53:09 Colleen <Shinmera> It probably wouldn't hurt to just do another rewrite either

7:53:30 Colleen <Shinmera> My JS use is very much not up to the usual standards

7:54:00 Colleen <Shinmera> and someone who knows what they're doing with modern frontend dev could probably replicate the featureset much faster than trying to fix the nonsense I made

7:59:14 glenneth2 I'd love to take a look at it if that's OK with you

7:59:22 Colleen <Shinmera> by all means

8:54:47 Colleen <Shinmera> Honestly I think the client part of it could be re-used, but the UI part of it is probably so confusing that it's maybe not worth it trying to salvage it
