The idea I had was roughly to make some sort of extensible voice driven agent you could customise to do pretty much anything you want.

Did you get it working on a Raspberry Pi? Would be interested to know more.

Looks great. I was actually trying to do the same thing. Run an agent on a raspberry pi and use it to automate stuff around the house or at work. Thanks for sharing :)

The Github repo is here. https://github.com/owainlewis/apidoc

That's a good point. I pretty much wrote this in an evening or two so haven't had time to refine it much. But yeah error messages will definitely be improved. It's because of the way URLs are handled in the underlying web app. Will be an easy fix.

Thanks. This looks really interesting. I may well borrow some ideas ; )

Will definitely do something with caching and rate limiting when I get some time. These queries are quite expensive so definitely needs a bit of work in those areas.

Hey. Thanks. Yeah I will add a ton of features over the next few days. JSONP should be an easy one. Feel free to add an issue in Github and I'll get it done for you.

Only really started hacking around on the idea the other day so early stages. Want to add filters so you can say "grab me only the text" or "grab me just the class names". Obviously another step would be to grab multiple elements in one request.

An example showing how to grab all the stories from the Hacker News homepage

I found forth a pretty interesting language. Started collecting some useful links if anyone else wants to get started. https://github.com/owainlewis/awesome-forth

Thanks for the review. The markdown editor is a great suggestion and will be implemented ASAP.

I'd see this being more useful to a non technical person who doesn't use Github for example and just wants to start a quick conversation. They can create a discussion and open it up to the world. Given a bit more time there will be more features to keep track of mentions and notifications that lift it up from it's currently very basic state.

That's a good way to look at it. The motivation is basically when you want to have a quick discussion about something but email or twitter aren't suitable. Like you mentioned twitter isn't great for real focussed conversations. It's also far more general than a forum, kind of like a forum to talk about literally anything.

Nice. Looks like a neat tool. How did you come up with the name?

That's a great idea. I think the homepage probably needs some more work around explaining the product and screenshots would be a good move. I'll take a look at improving it today.

Thank you. A few people have raised this. Will roll out a fix now. Stupid mistake. Sorry about that.

Over the next few months we'll add some more features to discusslr. It's pretty basic at the moment. Next up are private conversations, better media handling and a dashboard to track user conversations and interactions. Would love to hear any ideas on improvements or features.

That's a fair summary. One of the use cases for discusslr is just to throw up a topic online and get a discussion going without needing anyone to sign up. You might want to get feedback on an idea or product for example.

Will have to spin up an Arch box and take a look. Don't have access to one at the moment.

Interesting thanks. Will take a look.

Should be fixed now.

Yeah I disabled images for anonymous comments. Should have guessed that would happen.

I've never seen sublevel before. Looks interesting though.

Links are not actually auto-linked at the moment for that reason. They just show up as plain text.

Thanks I'll take a look into that. Haven't really done a huge amount of cross browser work on this. Appreciate the help.

I love the idea of private group/companies. Keeping track of many conversations is another big thing that needs to be tackled. So for instance a dashboard to keep track of discussions you're involved in and any notifications around a discussion.

Hi. Thanks. I suppose the who idea is to keep it simple but some new features will be added for private conversations, better link handling as you mentioned. Will definitely need to start thinking about handling spammers on anonymous comments. i had to turn off images for that very reason. I'll change it so that only logged in users can post images from now on.

Hey. Which browser are you using out of interest?

I added a discussion for product feedback and improvements that should be open without any need to sign up. https://discusslr.com/discussions/8
