[tantek] I completely missed the 20 year anniversary of undohtml.css — 10 days ago. If you've ever used a "CSS reset" https://tantek.com/log/2004/09.html#d06t2354

# thepaperpilot I think it'd make sense to include my commits or PRs in my activity feed. Do you think note posts would be appropriate?
# Loqi ✂️✏️ An edit (AKA diff, change) is a special type of reply that indicates a set of suggested changes to the post it is replying to. A collection of (presumably related) suggested edits in open source is often called a patch or pull request https://indieweb.org/diff
# catgirlin.space "use my changes" request,,,
# thepaperpilot I believe forgejo actually does support indieauth now. Or at least some form of decentralized auth
# thepaperpilot Oh, nvm. Not sure what I was thinking of but that does not appear to be the case
# thepaperpilot Fwiw forgejo calls them "pull requests", so I don't think GitHub has like a trademark on the term or anything
# thepaperpilot And thanks, I think I'll refer to the posts as "diff" posts, use u-edit-of linking to the parent repo, and render the content as the raw git patch, collapsed by default in the browser.
# thepaperpilot Or actually, git patches break it down by file which might be perfect for a details and summary block
# thepaperpilot It'll be cool having them all in one place, across my GitHub, codeberg, and personal forgejo instance.
# [tantek] [mattl] the fact that so much of git's abstractions leak into user interface is absolutely unacceptable. Consider if WordPress, Wikipedia, etc. all had actions / verbiage based on SQL. Just as no one here would suggest UIs with SELECT WHERE or DROP TABLE etc., I find it unfathomable how folks put up with leaky git abstractions.
# thepaperpilot Alright, I could refer to them as edit posts in the UI, then. I think rendering the patch still makes sense, as it's fairly readable and far more practical to implement than inline rendering or some other alternative
# thepaperpilot Plus way more likely for a micropub client to be able to parse than a boutique method
# thepaperpilot That said, showing the changes inline with a button to jump to the next and previous changes, and a link to the raw .patch somewhere, is probably the idea version of this
