@darch If that's intention, that's fine π However it is visually different to tell apart the 'In Reply To ..." with for example an actual quote:
> This is a quote...
Can we do something here?

I'll let you ponder on that for a while, but we _should_ probably do something about this before cutting a new release for sure π

@mckinley We've talked about this once before and in fact even tried to formalize it but in the end we couldn't agree on a way to do it or even if it was a good idea... Worth revisiting this again? Like @lyse I've also looked at JSON Feed and wasn't entirely convinced either.

@darch There are a few minor regressions. But maybe they were intentional? The "In-Reply-To" used to limit the text to some width and use an ellipsis via CSS to cut it off a bit.

@lyse Yeah I agree errors should be tested too. That's why Main() has the func Main(w io.Writer, args []string) error π
So you _can_ actually assert on the error returned. For a CLI however, I'm not particularly a fan of logging errors to stderr too much (if at all). And re go-cmdtest FWIW a Terminal combines stdout and stderr too by default when displaying the output of a program π
-- However I filed an issue against the cmdtest project and now I'm not so sure I want to continue using it, I _may_ as well just figure out how to run the test binary under coverage and write the tests myself in Go.

@lyse You are right of course ! π but what we're talking about here I think it's probably very experienced program is from one language coming to another language so there isn't much learning the new patterns of such? Anyway π€·ββοΈ

@lyse Oh btw... The reason a io.Writer is left out for "stderr" is that normally I tend to just set the logging output to os.Stderr, like log.SetOutput(os.Stderr) anyway and its not usually something I end up testing. Not sure if this is the best approach, but I'm only really interested in testing the "output"(s) and either error or non-error cases.

@brasshopper Bingo! That's just it π Idioms.
That's why you keep hearing about:

> Zen of Python
Every language has its strengths and weaknesses, like you , I _really_ hate it when the Java or C++ crowd come bring their sillyridiculouss structures to nice languages like Go π
(I felt the same way about Python 2.x -> 3.x too, I just couldn't write Python anymore π
)

@abucci yarnd1 also implements WebSub too π Pods actually peer with one another and use WebSub for "feed subscriptions" to update feeds in near real-time.

@eaplmx yarnd actually has WebMentions support. But generally this doesn't work very well as in practise I actually find WebMentions isn't something used a lot. It also has to be supported on the other wise in the first place, which a lot of feeds just aren't going to bother with. However that is one of the advantages of using yarnd, if someone does discover and -mention you, your pod will be "pinged" and it'll show up in your "Mentions" tab even if you don't follow them.

@brasshopper That's the thing I really hate the most about programming languages and the communities that that eventually evolve around them. You end up with (as you rightfully point out) with folks from other languages come in and start touting ways to do things that may have made a lot of sense in one language but not necessary another. Standards are great and all, but they also take away the creativity that we all enjoy in this field in the first place. Conventions are better IMO.

π‘ TIL: Today I learned that there is nothing special about pkg/ inside of Go projects. It is just like any other sub-package structure you _might_ otherwise define in your project. It just adds an extra part to your imports. I _think_ it's actually confusing at best and just unnecessary typing and an unnecessary sub-structure. Just keep your packages in the top-level and be done with it π

@lyse Yeah I actually use this technique a lot in GoNix for basically all the Applets. I _think_ this makes it easier to test. The cmdtest package is kind of cool though really, it basically implements the same kind of test runner as you may (or may not) have seen in the Mercurial test suite. The test files in testdata are essentially text files that look a bit like you've run something on the console and copied pasted them. This is brilliant for e2e cli integration testing π And yes it manages to run the test binary so that coverage can also be measured which is fantastic π -- Of course this does not preclude you from writing unit tests for any other parts of your package/library that have a public facing API -- But if your public facing API is _just_ the CLI then this is a perfect fit π
