Description

Was quite surprised iFixIt doesn't have a presence. It could have some interesting features such as page, step of a guide if applicable (I believe every step does include a quick-access link, so if the presence could read that section header link and apply the data to a presence that would be neat.)

As per replies, some guides have header hyperlink breaks, some don't. Luck of the draw. Easily enough added for editors; but mostly just a feature request if it's not doable.

Also in replies: an active-time on page would be interesting.

I use the site regularly and thought it would be interesting if someone could see what my current project is just from pmd.

Including a couple different versions of the logo for convenience.

Thanks for fixing the label!
Updated my messy as hell markdown. 
Change images to hyperlink and moved.

Also surprised that ifixit doesn't have a presence yet.

I was checking the website about the guide steps you mentioned, and it only updates the url if you click the header link. If you scroll through the steps - which I assume most people do - there's no way to accurately tell on what step you're currently on. Unless there's another way to check other than the url, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to include something like that.

Is this not it? Or am I on a different page or something.

That's weird. What page is that? For me, /Guides pages do not have that.

Seems to be relative to the guide itself. Interesting. Most of the stuff I mess with has those since it's relatively well-known guides. It may be that minor community guides don't have them.

Either way. Having a presence would be neat. Regardless of if it could reflect the guide stage or not. Having a time-spent reflection could be interesting as a happy medium.

After looking around for a bit longer, /troubleshooting links do have the steps, but /guide links do not, which is weird as I'd think /guide links would benefit more from having that guide stage reflection.

I'll be looking into this, iFixIt has a lot of interesting interactions that would work perfectly as a presence!

It's an open source project. So there's nothing stopping me from editing in hyperlink guide headers if I use the page. Wouldn't be my first wiki-experience haha.

I appreciate you looking into it! If you need any graphics or any kind of help on the visuals I'm more than happy to chip in. I'm just no good with backend dev.

Started working on it, what features would you like to see on the activity? Kinda struggling with deciding what information to prioritize and display.

Sorry for the delayed response. Been quite a difficult week.

From what I can picture, I think the following features would be most useful:

• Current Page (Guide) or Category as Presence
• Editing or Writing status as well as time elapsed
• For any kind of editing I'm picturing the VS codebase presence:
  
• If just browsing the relay of the page and time spent on the page.
• I'm not sure if hyperlinked section headers are "findable' on page scroll. If they are, changing the active presence data to the section with a time spent option would be quite interesting.
• Of course, toggleable privacy, timer, etc.
• If Gide Metadata is a bit too difficult, there should always be separation by item that could be relied on. Eg: instead of Browsing "Tearing Down a GOXLR Mini by TC Helicon" have the categories that link back to that page as the presence "Browsing TC Helicon; GOXLR Mini"

Those are some thoughts on it. Always room for changes.

This is what it looks so far. Anything you'd say could look different?

I'm not sure if hyperlinked section headers are "findable' on page scroll. If they are, changing the active presence data to the section with a time spent option would be quite interesting.

It's definitely possible to get the current step using the page scroll, im just now sure how beneficial that would be. Guides do not have that sidebar, but troubleshooting does, so atleast those pages would have steps.

This looks lovely so far! I like the fact it seems to pull a thumbnail.

If I'm not mistaken Line2 is "Browsing: Category" or is that extended into line 3? Might need to differentiate with "Browsing:" "Editing:" Etc. Make it easier to read.

So far so good. Button link to page would be swell! I just forgot to mention it.

I think it would be neat at least for troubleshooting to show where you're at on something. Goodness knows it would be helpful to figure out where someone is stuck on my server!

I see! Didn't add it at first to match the "Searching for", as the "for" serves the same purpose as the colon.

Had never thought about the step tracking feature like this! Definitely makes sense to have it. Where would it fit, though?

[iuriineves]

Step tracking working!

Step tracking working!

This is fetching. I LOVE it. Youre a saint for doing all of this. I've been trying to learn how and it just doesn't stick brain-wise.

I'm glad you like it! So far I've done these pages:

• Home
• Search
• Guide
• Device
• Troubleshooting
• Store
• Parts & Tools
• Products (shopping)

I'm currently working on the Wiki, Answers and Community pages. Am I missing anything?

Not that I can think of. That's way WAY more than I even expected.

Let me know if you want me to test drive it. I'm on Discord as Super Espresso ❤️
