    Rename project tag to show? ☶ show meta
    jcs avatar via jcs 4 years ago | 8 comments

I think I originally called the project tag project and not show because show doesn’t make sense as a category, but now that we have ask, I think project should be renamed to show.

Anyone agree or disagree?

    I think it sounds good

    Related, is there a way to show approval besides an upvote (could also mean “question is worthwhile, but I don’t agree”) and a “+1” comment?

      I think for meta discussions, “me too” or “+1” comments are okay.

      I hate adding more stuff to this software, but vote functionality like HN has might be useful.

        A poor man’s version of this would be to post two comments, “Agree” and “Disagree” that people can vote on.

      I think this makes sense. Does that mean we can edit those headlines to remove the Show Lobsters text?

        Yes, I was going to add this to the story submission form:

        $(document).on("blur", "#story_title", function() {
  var m;
  if (m = $("#story_title").val().match(/^(show|ask) lobste\.?rs:? (.+)$/i)) {
    var ta = $("#story_tags_a").data("select2");
    if (ta.getVal().indexOf(m[1]) < 0)
      ta.addSelectedChoice({ id: m[1] });
    $("#story_title").val(m[2]);
  }
});

          I kinda like “Ask Lobsters” in the headline. I look at the title before I glance the tags.

            Yeah, I’ve seen some people getting confused on the differences between HN’s “Show HN” and the lobste.rs “project” tag.
