ktistec commits 4a32680 to 9b68508 add support for notifications—mentions, announcements/shares/boosts, likes and follows all create notifications for easy alerting and management.

commits #22a2fe2 to b4b0bb3 add support for pretty/canonical URLs.
posts are automatically assigned a unique, but arbitrary, identifier (this post is known as https://epiktistes.com/objects/mMpIAUimtjg) . you can also manually assign posts a "pretty", canonical identifier, for seo purposes (if you care about that) or as an helpful mnemonic (this post is also known as https://epiktistes.com/commits-22a2fe2-b4b0bb3).
also in these commits is support for editing/updating published posts. mastodon instances currently ignore updates, but if you are using ktistec to "blog" maybe that's okay.

commits #f087a58 to fc9069c add support for approved posts. approved posts appear in public threaded conversations, and allow authors to control what parts of a conversation are visible to anonymous visitors.
it's a nod toward the day when fediverse spammers show up. (lol "when"...)

My Covid-19 quarantine plan for the last 12 months was to write code every day. With a few exceptions, I pulled that off. The big pre-Covid plan was to write every day, but in traditional hacker fashion I first built some tools (Ktistec and kin).
The big project was Ktistec, of course, but early on I spent a lot of time on MXNet.cr, mostly on native MXNet bindings, but also on a Gluon compatible library. I also put a lot of time into Ishi, a project that sprang from my desire to visualize MXNet output inside of my iTerm console.
Now, to do some writing...

ktistec now supports both @-mentions and #-hashtags.
commits 4118ec6 through 1bdcf12 consist of an embarrassing amount of yak-shaving, and that's not the whole of it. commits 3346865 through dfc00d2 were necessary to make those changes work. and most of the work to surmount the first problems i ran into were actually fixed with commit 258e2d3, but i didn't realize that and make the change until quite late in the game. so it goes.

commits 52d849d through 8cd8f3b implement draft posts, a feature that makes it easier to use ktistec to compose longer posts. one big change in the set of changes is support for incremental edits and saves of posts, as they are being written. this change also gets us very close to federated updates to published posts—a feature that mastodon, unfortunately, only supports for polls.

i've released more enhancements to ktistec. i'm still working toward an mvp—functionality any socially-oriented activitypub server should implement. recent commits added replies counts to the social signals exposed to the user, and updated the home page to display local activity to anonymous users.
next up: draft posts

"Many Small Queries Are Efficient In SQLite"
https://www.sqlite.org/np1queryprob.html
in fact, many small queries can be slightly faster than a single, more complex query, based on testing i'm doing on ktistec. the difference is small—10-15 msec for a complex page on average.

i ask the engineers i work with to spent 25-50% of their time refactoring before adding new features. these commits are exactly that—six days of cleaning up and small fixes.
i'm working toward a smarter timeline—one that uses social signals and some heuristics to prioritize content since i typically follow too many people/topics/things.
