Ideas
Brainstorms and feature requests for Loqi!
- who uses xyz
- This question could respond with a link to xyz#IndieWeb_Examples.
- Alternative syntax: "anyone here use xyz", "who supports xyz"
- why xyz
- This question could respond with a link to xyz#Why.
- Alternative syntax: "why should I use xyz", "why should I support xyz"
- report updates from an XML feed
- User:tommorris.org Suggested on IRC that updates to relevant Wikipedia articles might be useful
- enwp.org/IndieWebCamp, enwp.org/IndieWeb, enwp.org/webmention, enwp.org/microformats
- limit the number of RT notifications for a given post.
- Posts mentioning indieweb that are retweeted many times can be very distracting.
- http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-09-19#t1411110119165
- !seen ircnickname
- Responds with last time Loqi saw ircnickname do something in the channel (say something, enter/leave etc.)
- where is xyz?
- Finds the person's website on irc-people and looks for the latest post in their stream that contains location, and says "xyz last posted from {location} at {date / date and time} {url}"
- optional ! if line is directed at Loqi
- "Loqi: tell tantek..." would work the same as "!tell tantek"
- Allow linking <dfn> in definitions
- e.g. by saying "_____ is https://example.com, ....."
- Report page creations differently
- A link to the main page is often more useful than the diff shown currently
- Warn (or even reject / require confirmation) if you try to !tell someone who has never joined the channel
- "I have not seen that nickname in this channel, are you sure you want to try leaving a message for them?"
- (same !tell as before, i.e. copy paste, or "yes Loqi", or "yes")
- "Ok, I'll tell them that when, or if they show up here."
- Multiple nicknames for karma
-
AJ Jordan uses a different nickname on Freenode than he does on W3C IRC, and would feel far cooler if he could "link" these nicknames so their karma was the same.
- Only deliver a message when user is seen in the past 2 months
- When a non-regular visitor of the IRC channel says something, they often get spammed with a lot of "can you attend X next week" from months ago.
- When someone attempts to send a message: check if the user was online if the past 2 (or 1 or 3?) months, and if not, warn the user and don't take the message, but urge them to e-mail / look at their domain to know how to contact.
- PM with reminder of the messages in a channel
- When a person never says something in a specific channel, but there is a message lurking, the person will not receive the message despite being active in other channels.
- Send a PM to a person who says something in an IndieWeb channel, when there is a message in another channel. Only "there is a message for you in #indieweb-x", not the actual message.
- Notifications via Webmention
- Send a notification (probably a homepage-webmention?) when someone mentions you in chat and/or sends a !tell

More to link-up and come up with equivalent responses that make sense:

Bugs
- fragmention: Loqi strips out the fragmention link from tweets. e.g.: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-11-30#t1448927404974
- bug: loqi's "When is" is case-sensitive. Only returns the link with lowercase "when is..."
- bug: don't ignore lone stopwords, e.g. "what is about?"
- "what is..." for h-event pages does not return the name or summary.
- bug: !cancel should work with (#6198) and #6198 variants (e.g. !cancel #6198) since Loqi says "(#6198)" literally when he confirms the timer was created: https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-10-24/1508862956980000
