A Kural discourse held in Kundrathur in January 2019
gollark: But I also really don't like writing much code, and want to generalize and combine features as much as possible. Which causes more problems.
gollark: The main causes of this are:- I wanted it to be interactable with externally via an API of some kind, and operating on text strings for that is kind of æ æa æ ææææ æææ.- I wanted some kind of structured data handling mechanism, partly for APIous purposes - see DokuWiki's `struct` plugin, and a cool feature a random journaling website has where you can use `CAPSTHING: bees` in a page and get tables out- I also thought that the design of all previous Minoteaurs, which made pages entirely text strings, hampered rich editing capabilities (such as "to-do lists" where you could easily check/uncheck things, and arbitrarily-nested-bullet-point "outliner" stuff)
gollark: However, design of this in any detail requires making decisions, which immediately induces apionic "bee" incursions.
gollark: If you want to know what the reworks are to be, and you do, then basically: I wanted to alter the content model, so that pages could contain multiple units of content, and of different kinds.
gollark: Thank you.
