Post Print is a homage to the free (as in freedom) and open internet, Aaron Schwartz, and Ted Nelson. | |||
Can you edit a text file? You can make a timeline! Post Print turns text files in git(hub) repos into timelines. You can even edit the files using the github website if you don't know how to use git. | |||
Post Print is a set of instructions to crawl and display data from a web of these repos. I've added a basic timeline of technology already. | |||
Other ideas would be to make timelines | |||
* The life of Aaron Schwartz | |||
* Portal Community | |||
* Coronavirus | |||
* IDW Content | |||
Drop a pull request on the hyferg/time repo or talk to me if you want to add to these or have your own ideas for timelines. | |||

* Turn plain text into timelines. | |||
== Design == | |||
What's a simple way to collaboratively build a timeline or series of blogposts? | |||
Host the data as a plaintext file in a accessible git repository. | |||
Use a 'website' to distribute client side code (react) to query and display the data as a website. | |||
1 Data concerns | |||
═══════════════ | |||
<https://pc.net/helpcenter/answers/how_much_text_in_one_megabyte> | |||
500 pages of 2000 characters is about 1 megabyte | |||
10 years of blogposts, 60 posts a year, 500 words per posts about 1 megabyte | |||
• website main pages | |||
• bbc.com: 5.90 MB | |||
• npr.com: 6.95 MB | |||
• reddit.com: 17.07 MB | |||
• cnn.com: 14.00 MB | |||
• twitter blank login page: 3.34 MB | |||
• twitter user page 3.99 MB | |||
2 What does this mean | |||
═════════════════════ | |||
• You can store an entire blog or timeline in a plaintext file | |||
• This file can be hosted in a github repo | |||
• The client can cache the file and only update when the git repo | |||
reports a different hash for the file | |||
3 How to get the data | |||
