Hi there, some metasyntactic variables again: I think if foo posts entry qux, and then bar re-posts qux and changes it into quux, a reply to qux, and then baz re-posts quux and again changes it into a reply, then this reply will be marked as "reaction to foo, via bar". In this case, the wording is wrong, as it's actually a reaction to bar. This looks particularly wonky when foo and baz are identical.
Small issue, just writing it up in case it hadn't been noticed yet.
I just found an issue with the feed importer. I was having some updating issues with vimeo so I removed the feed and all the entries and imported it again. Everything worked fine, the issue arose some hours later when all vimeo entries showed up on soup again. I believe that happened because the vimeo import was scheduled before I delete it, and the scheduler doesn't know about it.
I also noticed many delicious entries are duplicated in my soup too, maybe a similar situation occurred with the delicious import.
Another idea is to avoid the importer from importing something it already did in the past..
It would be useful if "repost this" button allowed reposting not only to own soup, but also to a group to which I belong. I'd like to be able to repost items from my own soup to the group, too (like related blog posts that are autoposted with rss, which are on-topic for group).
If you repost something somebody else imported from an RSS feed, the result is suboptimal:
* The post will still have the original favicon instead of the generic text/quote one.
* The post icon will link to the original website instead of the post, making it very hard to get the link.
* The favicon will be hotlinked from the original website: they pay with their traffic for a possibility to track me.
That's especially weird in case you create a reaction which doesn't have much in common with the original post, like this one.
When I remove a description of a repost, or just clean it up a bit, I think it shouldn't be called a reaction. This happens quite often lately and imho decreases the awesomeness of this feature.
I thought maybe you could add a "minor changes" checkbox to the "edit the repost" interface?
Does a user hold copyright on content that he posts on soup.io? Which rights does a user give to soup.io by posting content? Does a user automatically give other users the right to repost his content without prior asking?
Your disclaimer says that a user who posts any content must either hold the copyright of this content or must have the explicit permission of the copyright holder. How do you expect a user to do this when he just wants to share e.g. a random video from YouTube or a great comic?
How do you ensure that users don't include feeds in their soup.io-feed whose copyright (or explicit permission of the owner) they don't have?
Do you obey to RDF-license-tags or links with rel="license" so that e.g. content that is licensed under a CreativeCommons - share-alike license is shared with proper licensing?
Sometimes I just want to post a Reaction to a photo or a video but without actually posting them in MY Soup. When my friend posts a text, and I wanna react to that, I can delete the original content to avoid duplication (after all, I'm not reposting). It should work that way with all the files to.
Example: My friend posted a personal photo in his Soup. I loved it and wanna write a Reaction. I don't necessarily want to REPOST his photo, I just want to comment on it. We should be able to choose if we want to include the original file in our Reactions. ;-)
To see if somebody has added anything at reposting or what the original post was it would be helpfull to link to the specific entry at the "reposted from/by" footer instead of simply linking to the entire soup of the (re-)poster
At the first one you can ony see that the entry is a reaction to the second one and at the second one you can see that it looks like I(Worm23) have reposted this entry.
Hi, I've just noticed that different versions of one post all show up in a single stream again. This is great!
However, this change really impacts my behaviour on soup.io, e.g. what I re-post and what I just link to; therefore, it would have been nice to see a notification about it on updates.soup.io. (You could still do that!)
A good next step would be, IMHO, to detect re-postings that only added a small bit of text in one place, such as "LOL" or "pwned". In this case, I'd prefer to only see the longer version, with the added passage subtly marked in some way (e.g. slightly different background colour).
I just stared at two adjacent, virtually identical posts in my 'my friends' thread and for quite a while thought, "WTF? Dupes are back?", until I realised that the later one had a single word tacked on. So there's a tiny bit of dissatisfaction coming from this issue.
But overall, this change is great, thanks! (Nex-user-icon gives two thumbs up ;-)
i recently reposted something, but deleted it afterwards after deciding that it does not really fit in my soup. however, the original post still shows me as a reposter:
I enjoy just visiting soup.io from time to time to check what everyone is posting and if there is something I like. I personaly sometimes just repost to not loose the content I like someone else posted. At the other site is it not very comfortable if a "hot" content shows up all the time on soup.io Maybe you want to consider not showing reposts on soup.io startpage?
Since I eat most of my soups via Feeds, I noticed some problems:
*) If there are Links in Image-post-Descriptions they disappear in the Feed, meaning the text is still there, but it isn't linked anymore.
*) It would be nice if there is a note on a reposted post's bottom, like the bar on the actual page "Reposted from ...", this bar also disappears in the feeds.
thx for a really cool tumbllog and keep up the good work!
