- Per-thread internal ID so the admin can't spy on people more than regular people can.
- Poll results hidden by default with an option to show them so people aren't influenced by them before they vote.

An auto-shitpost button that will make a random shitpost for those too lazy to come up with their own shitposts.

> * Per-thread internal ID so the admin can't spy on people more than regular people can.
Not happening, would make anti-spam and dealing with trolls so much more of a nightmare than it already is. It would be an incredibly invasive change to the code as well, and would break any kind of user tracking. Including if you've already voted in a poll, and what your dashboard/ignore list settings are, for example. There is also no real way to implement that in any way where the administrator could not circumvent it. Restricting the permissions of the mods, sure, but making it so the admin can't spy? Impossible. They'll always have server access logs.
> * Poll results hidden by default with an option to show them so people aren't influenced by them before they vote.
This is a decent idea.

I don't really see anyone ever using this, this one depends on if the link validator can be easily tweaked to allow this.
I'll look into the last two when I have the time and desire to work on the Minichan code. I've filed issues that you can track here. As always you should know that Minichan is open source, and if you'd any of the features to be included soon™ then you should contribute it yourself.

Most browsers don't support non-http(s) links. At least when I wrote that page chrome simply ignored them and firefox asked what program to use. Even if it does work properly now I see this being used by actual users exactly never.

No, what is previous may change between your writing the reply and submitting it. If someone posts a reply while you were writing yours you'd miss-cite.

Doing what exactly? You can already post links.

Once you tell Firefox what program to use and set it as the default it will open them in the right program automatically.

It's nice to have a standardised way of doing things sometimes. You don't know what your users will do with it.

I meant how on other chans you can link posts outside of a thread without typing the whole URL but maybe with the topic no. included and with an indicator that it's from a different topic like 4chan does.
I don't think it matters that much actually.

look, i just don't see the return of investment. maybe we can apply some KPO and BPO but that'll make it harder to make it pop. integrating quacking ducks in our strategy would definitely decrease sustainability.

@previous (r04r)i don't think you're seeing this from a marketing perspective, without quacking ducks we're losing market share and limiting our reach to people that don't already use quacking ducks. we should be on the cutting edge and using an agile based approach to quacking ducks.

you make some interesting points, and I concede that my initial dismissal may have been too hasty. I think a market share analysis is warranted to determine the potential market penetration quacking ducks may realize.

You are correct. Minichan is nothing like an oven. It is more akin to a forge or crucible, melting out the slag and forging the finest shitposters the Internet can make.
It would be difficult to do much baking in that kind of heat. Maybe we should brand it into the FAQ?

The android app is dead. I don't think it even works anymore due to google deprecating the push network used. You can now get push notifications through Chrome on Android using HTML5 features, this is under stuff.
> Extend Ostrich Mode with strings of characters and/or regexes (for headline, body or name field).
No idea what you mean here.
User-supplied regexes are not happening in any case as they would introduce a DOS vector and may even lead to code execution when not properly sanitized. See https://bitquark.co.uk/blog/2013/07/23/the_unexpected_dangers_of_preg_replace
