Also this is going to be fun! When does all the functionality go live? I tried to do stuff in "MY FEED" but nothing is clickable yet.

You may notice you have points. We backfilled points for any Shacker who has logged into the site over the last year. It is our way of thanking our most loyal users for sticking with us all of these years. You folks deserve all the points.

A shorter duration would be nice.

^^^ This, please. An option to decrease the duration, with 0 = disable, would be great.
-
Maybe a console we can pull down with ~ ? :D

congrats Asif and team, this is really great work and I can't wait to see what the folks here do with it!

Congrats! Time to start grinding Shacknews

The +1 point notification being on the left side means it's covering up some of the chatty text. A minor annoyance. It also doesn't work well with all of the other parts of the chatty page for me (on Chrome). The Truncated message under a long thread displays on top of the notification, as does the New Comment button.
Instead of this obnoxious notification, how about at the top, to the right of the search button, or left of Cortex (or replace the word Account) have my site score displayed. Every time I earn a point, it gives a little +1 animation and increases the score. That way it doesn't interfere with browsing the website but is still noticeable.-

Shacknews staff has to whitelist them one at a time for security reasons
-
-
oh I was joking lol, Asif mentioned last night that they were white-listing scripts for the HTML editing feature. Staff having to approve every URL would be an absolute nightmare XD
-
Maybe white list a large list of specific domains?
If you link to an unknown domain then it's not underlined or a link of any kind. Maybe even put a big warning on certain black listed doamins?

Some of the tags aren't capitalized.. It's messing with my OCD.

Yeah, it ate all the linefeeds in mine. Then when I went to edit it, it made each linefeed double spaced. Then when I went to fix that, it went back to eating all the linefeeds. I eventually left it all double spaced.

PRO TIP for those writing articles: Once you publish your article, whatever you wrote in the "COMMENTS OP" section of your post stays that way forever.
In the same way that your posts on the Chatty cannot be edited, this cannot be edited / updated after you PUBLISH! I learned that the hard way.-

Yeah, bradsh is going to have his work cut out for him with Werd.

I keep mixing you two up because I suck at names, sorry. I was thinking more in terms of functionality as there's no way to create Cortex posts or anything like that. Could be an entirely separate application though.

This is awesome. Shacknews 2020, Shacknews forever!

I think there's a place for short reviews although Metacritic kinda has that covered.
-

Just need to add a chat bot named Cortexa to complete it.
-
I can’t access the “Cortex Menu” menu when I am logged in on my phone with Safari.
I’ve tried zooming in and out and clicking around the button but it doesn’t work.
i.e. the menu that lets me create a new article, etc. -
-
-
-
You watch the Shacknews Direct?
-
You need a header image apparently.
-
-
-
-
Is this why shack browse doesn't work?
-
The future is here!!

I feel like the Corex links in the Chatty should either open in a new window, or open in like a lightbox'd modal in the middle of the screen so that we're not whisked away from the Chatty.
I think it'd be cool if you had Share buttons on the stories since it might help remind people to share the things other community members are writing other places like Twitter or Parler (lol j/k)-
i agree with this. It is the only thing I didn't like about the update. I was hoping for the article opening in the chatty itself but I assume thats not as easy as opening in a little box or something. it is a lot of clicks to read an article and then have to come back to the chatty page and find the thread again and all that. It might be me being particular and i just need to learn a new way of reading things or it is just not user friendly enough. i dont know

It’s only for Cortex. for now

Anyone know the full Cortex tech-specs?
I'm probably going to switch the daily Post Summary posts to a Cortex article. However, in order to do so, I need to understand how the cortex post form works. This is what I know so far:
Make a post to https://shacknews.com/cortex/view-cortex-article
Form Data:
article_type=article,review
title=
descrption= (This is short summary under title)
body= (Raw html?)
topic_i]= (Article ONLY) 3684 (chatty), will need to make a list / db of other topics
review_topic_id= (Review Only) only one?
review_good= review pros field
review_bad= review cons field
chat_post_id= comments enabled. 1=comments, 0=no comments
chat_post_message= message to put in the root post, above the article link. 'I wrote a thing!'
id= blank for initial posts, assuming it is used for edits / preview
submit_preview
submit_publish
submit_delete
publish=0
delete=0
topics
Shacknew Mercury = 9692
Chatty = 3684
CHATTY GAME OF THE MONTH = 8866
Chattycast = 6174
Shack Chat = 11376
Chatty Asks 6767
Just Chatting = 12852
ChatChat = 3271
Lola the Pom = 9026
However, there is apparently a requirement for a header image. I'm not sure how that is uploaded / included in the form at this point.
Anyone know more information? -
Dude thank you so much for innovating, thinking of how to take things up from tweaks to big improvements and as always supporting our little weird home in this year and all years
