Not that I’m aware of. You can just make everything Uncategorized, and then e.g. hide the Category view and just leave the Latest, Top, etc. views. Then use CSS to hide the category indicators I guess… Workable, albeit imperfect.
Interesting idea, yes. But to me this actually gets away from some of what seems more interesting about “social media”, the intermixing of content from multiple sources. You can already subscribe to someone’s activity feed from Discourse via RSS, so if you’re really interested in just what one or a few people say, that’d probably be the way to do it. There is also the Follow plugin:
It’s good to know you don’t want those boundaries eroded. But can you explain specifically why? Hopefully not just in terms of simple preference, “I like the way it is”, but specifically why, or at least how the existing setup makes you feel in interacting with it vs. the alternative.
가능하다면 그런 #customization:플러그인을 정말로 갖고 싶습니다! @Decorbuz님의 훌륭한 제안이네요!
그 제안에 덧붙이자면, 사용자가 자신의 카테고리를 만들 수 있게 한다면 어떨까요? (이해가 된다면, 사실상 "Circles"나 “Collections”, "Communities"와 같은 역할을 하게 됩니다.)
몇몇 사람들은 트위터가 무작위로 게시물을 추천하거나 전혀 관심 없을 수 있는 잡다한 것을 추천하는 것을 좋아하지 않습니다. 제 생각에는 다소 구체적이고 (큰) 관심사를 여러 출처에서 혼합하는 것이 더 이상적이라고 봅니다 (그리고 제 의견으로는 Google+가 잘 해낸 또 다른 부분이기도 합니다).
You’re showing a different view than they are though. This is more of a “Category” view, and there is category thumbnails that would work to create something similar. They’re showing a person activity view, for which a solution to spruce it up doesn’t yet exist as far as I know. But I too would like to see one, even just for Discourse in its forum context…
Upvote it if you want to see it happen! I provided an admittedly overdramatic explanation as to why I think the meaning of +1 is better than “like” or even “heart” for that matter (sorry, Jeff! ).
If a user were to interact with this icon, it could be used to convey a generally positive emotion instead of a single emotion that a thumbs up (like) button and a heart (love) button are ultimately limited to. “+1” can mean many different things, which is why I think it has an advantage over the traditional like/love buttons and should be implemented as an icon into Font Awesome. It is so simple, yet so powerful at the same time.
I believe you can use SVG icons too, right? I don’t believe its restricted to Font Awesome.
One thing that has seemingly gone unmentioned (no pun intended) is how Google+ used the + symbol instead of the @ symbol for mentions. I think it was more of a branding thing (at first, Google+ used the more traditional @ symbol instead of the + symbol for mentions), so I guess the > symbol would be more suitable for a technology-oriented crowd.
