pouët.net

gargaj: so the mobile version started working :) I like the idea (and things get a lot easier to read), but I think it needs a slight tweak - specifically, sections that are open/collapsed should be sticky. It's really annoying to have to open say the one-liner, recent prods and BBS each time. Even more annoying to open the BBS, open a topic, swipe back.. and you're somewhere at the bottom of the page, because it's returned to the same place on the previous page, but the BBS has closed itself.

On the other hand, have you thought about just making the 3 columns of the desktop site each fit the width of the screen? It's nice to have everything presented at once, and once you double-tap to zoom in, the site would be perfectly usable on a small screen. The only issue with the desktop site is that the middle column is a bit too wide (even then, it's OK in landscape mode).

Huge thanks for actually pushing the site forwards, anyway - it's great to see it getting some love :D

newz lol 666 (most of this has been out for a while but it's nice to sum up)

1. You can now add Demozoo IDs to your profile
2a. The user page has been rearranged slightly so that the focus is on stuff people created - there's also a thumb aggregate stat there that adds together all the thumbs that user received for the prods they made!
2b. Adding a credit to a prod is now worth 1 glöp! That's several hundred thousand of glöps waiting to be had! :)

I'm currently working on the next gen of SceneID that will allow PROPER single sign-on for SceneID sites, so that's the next big thing that's gonna come up.

...and by "Adding a credit to a prod" I mean through the system.

cool update gargaj!

\o/

@Gargaj: thanks again for taking care of pouët and giving us glöps! :D

GG Gargaj, that's a cool update =)

Don´t know if it got asked already, but i´d say having the same feature for pouet-links as for youtube-links in the oneliner would be ace! Like some Pouet-Icon (Trumpet) indicating it´s a link to a prod at pouet itself and parsing the name of the prod plus who did it as in: "[Trumpet]The Silents - Big Nose Trainer"

That's coming soon.

Maybe a cool thing would be to have a "quote"-like link on the title of a prod which would insert prod link+name in the pastebin. Maybe even with the snapshot? Thus we could reference demos with one click only!

Does the same apply for fixing dead links?
I´d love that! If you have a look into the "fix me beautiful"-thread you´ll see i often posted batches of dead-link-fixes (all of a group or a party). Was quite some work every time with BB-Code and so on, gotta say that new feature rocks!
Getting glöps for it would rock even more! ;)

it would be really cool if we earned a glop or two if we fixed a link through the system!

Will Pouet ever transform from those ugly URLs to something like `/prods/123456`?

baah: as soon as I get an API rolling I'll add that.

y0gi: i'd like it to happen but it's probably a larger haul.

what´s wrong with the URLs? as long as you won´t mirror them locally they work perfectly fine

T$:
- They're not as concise as they could be.
- They include implementation details.
- Shorter URLs leave for room for text in a tweet (though I might not fully understand the way Twitter currently calculates URL length regarding available characters).

supporting stuff like filtering or sort order is likely to mess those well-formatted URLs up anyway ;o)

Not necessarily, those can go into the query string.

I don't really like /prod/1234, I'd much rather prefer /prod/debris and /group/fairlight - especially useful at parties like /party/breakpoint/2003/

Looks like scene.org ;)

length of tweet text is calculated against the t.co shortened version of an URL
(ie : URL length doesn't matter when you tweet)

And yes prettier URLs would be cool anyway.

Gargaj: Needs a way to handle duplicate prod names, though.

Using slugs (`/prods/1234-debris-by-farbrausch`) is also common. I personally implemented site where only the ID is considered, so changing a title afterwards wouldn't render already spread "permalinks" broken.

And I even used `/prods/1234#debris` (i. e. anchors) to get that working with static sites where `/prods/1234` is an actual relative path in the file system.

Gargaj: In order to be REST-ish, I'd prefer "prods" and "parties" (i. e. plurals). That way, `/prods` and `/groups`, showing products or groups, respectively, make sense as stand-alone URL paths as well.

wullon: Thanks.

BTW, is there any decent URL routing system that can generate URLs as well available in PHP these days? `mod_rewrite` would be so Pouet 1.0.

What's wrong with mod_rewrite?

ah, mod_rewrite.
the "i moved the site to another server and now all the links are broken" plugin.

Gargaj: In this case, it would require defining the matchers outside the scope of the actual web application and inside the scope of a specific web server. In addition, it doesn't provide in-application URL generation.
