• Render core ssb message types, git-ssb message types, and raw messages.
• View public log, private log, user feeds, channels, and search.
• Paginate views bidirectionally.
• Compose, preview and publish public and private messages.

Joining SSB with Patchfoo

Find this guide on github or on SSB.

Install

Requirements:

• scuttlebot
• ssb-npm-registry
• git-ssb

clone ssb://%YAg1hicat+2GELjE2QJzDwlAWcx0ML+1sXEdsWwvdt8=.sha256 patchfoo
atchfoo
install --registry=http://localhost:8043/
start

Alternatively, install as an sbot plugin (advanced):

/.ssb/node_modules
clone ssb://%YAg1hicat+2GELjE2QJzDwlAWcx0ML+1sXEdsWwvdt8=.sha256 patchfoo
atchfoo
install
 plugins.enable patchfoo
start sbot

Install extras

To most effectively render things, patchfoo needs the ssb-backlinks scuttlebot plugin:

 plugins.install ssb-backlinks
 plugins.enable ssb-backlinks
start sbot

Config

Pass config options with args e.g. npm start -- --patchfoo.port 8027 if running standalone, or sbot server --patchfoo.port 8027 if running as an sbot plugin. To make config options persistent, set them in ~/.ssb/config, e.g.:

atchfoo": {
"port": 8027,
"host": "::",
"filter": "all",
"showPrivates": true,
"previewVotes": true,
"ooo": true,

Config options

• port: port for the server to listen on. default: 8027
• host: host address for the server to listen on. default: localhost
• base: base url that the app is running at. default: /
• blob_base: base url for links to ssb blobs. default: same as base
• img_base: base url for blobs embedded as images. default: same as base
• emoji_base: base url for emoji images. default: same as base
• encode_msgids: whether to URL-encode message ids in local links. default: true
• auth: HTTP auth password. default: null (no password required)
• filter: Filter setting. "all" to show all messages. "invert" to show messages that would be hidden by the default setting. Otherwise the default setting applies, which is so to only show messages authored or upvoted by yourself or by a feed that you you follow. Exceptions are that if you navigate to a user feed page, you will see messages authored by that feed, and if you navigate to a message page, you will see that message - regardless of the filter setting. The filter setting may also be specified per-request as a query string parameter.
• showPrivates: Whether or not to show private messages. Default is true. Overridden by filter=all.
• previewVotes: Whether to preview creating votes/likes/digs (true) or publish them immediately (false). default: false
• previewContacts: Whether to preview creating contact/(un)follow/block messages (true) or publish them immediately (false). default: false
• ooo: if true, use ssb-ooo to try to fetch missing messages in threads. also can set per-request with query string ?ooo=1. default: false codeInTextareas: if true, render markdown code blocks in textareas. if false, render them in pre tags. default: false

TODO

• Add a way to assist picking feed ids for @mentions in composer.
• Add more sophisticated private messages view.
• Show contents of git repos (cross-develop with patchbay)
• Count digs
• Show network status
• Add UI for using pub invites
