New at 'Desktop On Fire!"

Well, now
as this collective thread about DoF - this lost the functionality of highlighting new articles.

Of course it is good to see

conversations takes place about the content of articcles, but

then we would not open so kindly to seek up : what’s news ?

Ahoy @Andrea ,

It’s better if DoF site sets up a messaging function - I would enabled it to be informed about new available articles.

Forum posts lost their informative functionality this way.
This is like FaceBook posts - the main stuff lost among tons of other posts, as posts and reactions are altogether.
This thread is good place (to discuss about ?), hmm, maybe …

The site has an RSS feed. It seems to work well.

Yepp, if someone uses RSS or podcast app :slight_smile:

I looked at after I mentioned to set up this messaging thing … so I was curious once I would get as a tip :wink:

Anyway ,

thanks for your kind offer.

I just do not use RSS (anymore … still here* (* I mean : in my new Haiku era) … or at all?… (yet finally(?)) … who knows, if me myself not sure about :wink: )

Ahoy @Andrea,

In the article …

https://www.desktoponfire.com/haikuos/132/haiku-delivers-big-improvements-in-december/

… what you written based on latest monthly report … somehow you should have clarified

most of these improvements are introduced really in series of nightlies actually

as people generally installs first the recommended Beta releases

… meanwhile new features / fixes / improvements gets into several nightlies - so even not enough to install one Haiku, but keep on staying the latest revision.

This way the article can be misleading for newcomers.

It’s just a friendly warning - not a critic.

:wink:

UploadIt is used often with Screenshoots and then paste the link in Vision for example!

1.) Make a Screenshoot
2.) Edit the Screenshoot
3.) Upload the image with UploadIt to get a link in Clipboard!
4.) Check Clipdinger if the file is converted to a link
5.) Paste the Clipboard alt + v to Vision

If I make a mistake somewhere along the line, you will see me do it. I think the audience can identify with that

Right you are!
