💬 Bubble is a Gemini bulletin board system with many influences from Station, Reddit, WordPress, and issue trackers like GitHub Issues.
Bubble v8.1: Flair Composer, User-Defined and Moderator Flairs — This release fixes a number of bugs and significantly expands the flair mechanism added in v8.0. You now have control over your own flairs via a flair composer UI. The presentation of flairs has been tweaked accordingly. Moderators of a subspace also have new flair-related abilities. Flair Composer The fact that flairs were fully admin-controlled in v8.0 was largely due to implementation details: at that time I didn't have any...
Bubble v8.0: Flairs and Locked Posts — This is a small feature update that adds a couple of moderation tools and fixes a few bugs. Flairs A flair is a free-form text label that appears next to the user's name and provides some additional contextual information about the user. You may be familiar with this concept from sites like Reddit. A flair can only be bestowed on a user by the administator of the Bubble instance. Users themselves, even if they are moderators, cannot assign flairs. Flairs...
Bubble v7.0: Subspace Views, Grouped Posts, New Feed Options and User Actions — It has been four months since the previous Bubble feature update. This is plenty of time to observe how I and others have been using the system and think of potential improvements. This release makes substantial changes to show useful information that was previously unavailable, gives you more control over what is displayed on the front page, and applies a host of smaller tweaks to improve general usability. Viewing...
Bubble v6.0: Atom Feeds, Expanded Help — This Bubble feature update is a smaller one as we're still in the summer vacation period, but there are a couple of useful additions. Atom Feeds You can now get an Atom feed of All Posts, subspaces, user feeds, issue tracker feeds, and tag-filtered feeds. In other words, everything that was available as a Gemini feed can now also be accessed as an Atom feed. These new feeds contain the full contents of posts (as HTML) so they can be used for following...
Bubble v5.0: Comment View, Index of Posts, Time Zones, Certificate Recovery — Bubble version 5 introduces several new features. Some improve basic usability and some are smaller things that have been missing from the start. All of these have been informed by the experience of using BBS over the past weeks. Viewing an Individual Comment Comments are not meant to be tightly bound to their parent posts. Internally, a comment is equivalent to a regular top-level post except that it also has a...
Bubble v4.0: Muting, Tag Filters, Monthly Archive — bbs.geminispace.org has been upgraded to Bubble v4. This week's feature update adds some useful new tools and fixes several bugs. Muting You can now mute posts, subspaces, and individual users to hide them and notifications related to them. Together with follows, this allows tailoring what one sees in their Bubble feeds with quite a lot of precision. In practice, muting is a combination of silencing and blocking that is dependent on a couple...
Bubble v3.0: Thanks and Reactions, Private Mode, Improved Issue Trackers — I have updated geminispace.org to Bubble v3.0. There has been lots of progress in many different areas. Feedback Mechanisms A key function of Bubble is to enable rich interactions that go beyond basic commenting. While feedback mechanisms such as Likes can be a nice way to show support and encouragement, they also have negative aspects: they encourage gamification and may turn posting into a popularity contest....
Bubble v2.0: Fundamentals — GS.org has been updated to Bubble version 2. There is a bunch of new features and some bugfixes to improve the fundamental features of the system. Notifications Notifications are one of the key elements of the Bubble user experience, but they still had a lot of issues in version 1: redundancy and single-access links being the biggest annoyances. Both problems should now be largely resolved. History Your notifications now remain valid for up to one week, during...
