:IF: Friends - the messenger you'll never want to move away from

OK, after @Southside repeatedly ranting how people should participate, I decided to do so. Thank you @Southside for your perseverance!

I sould be findable with public indentifier: Toivo

I have sent several Friend requests, and I am “Waiting for response” on all of them.

A minor bug that I’m not 100% sure if it was like this, but:

  1. I think I added a Public Identifier when creating the account.
  2. It was not visible on my Friends page, but there was this long string under my name.
  3. When I clicked the settings icon on the upper left hand corner, the dialogue opened, where I saw it was not set. Then I set it, and then it’s there. It has replaced the long string.
  4. But if I would like to get that long string again, how to do it?

Hmhmm - I’ll do some testing on account creation with the next release again… Might be a simple glitch in Scratchpad state or a bug with account creation/public identifier addition.

That long string is your profile id (/profile Scratchpad address) - when having added a public id it’s not needed anymore and therefore gets hidden - if you append ?debug=True to the address bar it will get displayed again.

Would it be possible to make a wiki post in this thread, or some other solution for sharing public identifiers or profile IDs so they’re easy for everyone to find?

I have a couple of friends (Josh and David - waiting for aatonnomicc) but don’t see how to send messages. The text input says “Connect first to send messages..” but I see no way to do that.

I see ‘connect first to send messages’ too.

Your friends need to be online the same time you are - friends does try to connect if both sides are online at the same time.

The next release will come with scratchchat like offline message capabilities =)

A UX improvement for some time down the road, not hurry at all: Ability to reply to a specific message. Like Signal or Whatsapp etc. so that the message you reply is quoted in your reply.

I had a quick exchange of messages with @Josh today, and we were amazed at the pace of ping pong we could have with Friends. It’s instant!

@moderators is it possible to make my first post a wiki? I cannot edit it anymore because it probably is too old (?) I never made a post a wiki but the first post would make the most sense I guess (?)

It seems my dweb serve was killed. Might be related to computer going to sleep or not, but here is a couple of last lines from that terminal window:

DEBUG process_mutable_type_header_and_query_params()
DEBUG parse_app_id_header_params()
DEBUG REST request ParsedParams: ParsedRequestParams { tries: 1, object_name: None, owner_secret: None, type_derivation_index: None, app_id: Some(“friends”) }
DEBUG /scratchpad-private GET successfully decrypted scratchpad data
DEBUG serve with ports HttpResponse: 200 OK
Killed

Another day, I need to get some sleep now. Cheers!

thank you very much - works like a charm - will go through the thread later and make a proper list + add that to the first post (if people aren’t faster in adding themselves to the list)

I tried to edit that but I can’t figure it out. This new Discourse editor has been annoying since it was changed, but that table has me stumped.

no idea how to extend the table in that edit window - I just made it in the other window and inserted a couple of empty rows … and your contact info @happybeing =)

I’ll try to accept all outstanding requests and send to the new addresses asap.

But not for a while.

Killed all running dweb processes

dweb serve

......

This page is almost entirely unresponsive. The only elements that work are the remove friend X on the contacts list. Sorry @zettawatt :slight_smile:
I cant actually select other contacts but I can roll over the X and O

I see this error frequently in the dweb output

Can someone please post console logs of a succesful convo so I can see what should be happening?

EDIT: I get same behaviour on both PC and laptop
