Feel free to share it wherever you like :)

They can read parts of FMS (since nerdageddon started to show the FMS
pages on the front page).

I think so, yes.

Someone in Freenet showed a nice CSS trick to load activelinks in a
delayed way.

There was Warren, a KDE app.

But that’s not the point: These are usecases which work out of the box.

Yes, they were discussed. They just weren’t implemented.

Retrying automatically would be an option. It needs to retrieve the ID,
though: Not just make the other trust you, but also make WoT download
the other ID.

That means: Doesn’t work out of the box.

Yes, that. Also not implemented. Or better: Offer both. If the ID is not
in WoT, provide it directly.

Can we calculate the full key from the routing part which is in the
freemail address?

Upload directory you can update isn’t that easy: You have to remember
the insert key.

Sharesite provides a much easier UI.

Only in terms of freesites, can't read forums without installing
WoT/Sone/FMS.

There's a plugin for that isn't there? Or was it an app?

That's bad. :(
I believe solutions were discussed? One option would just be to wait and
retry automatically?

In any case if you want them to see your post, you need to announce your
WoT identity. Fortunately FSNG and other docs help with this.

Using CAPTCHAs directly rather than WoT is an option (extend Freemail
0.1?), may be faster, but more vulnerable.

"Upload a directory" is easy, only need basic UI. I thought that was
what Sharesite did?

[freenet-dev] Freenet New User Usecases

2016-05-02 Thread Arne Babenhauserheide
Hi,

Florent asked me today what Freenet usecases can be done easily.

I gathered some, most usable first.¹


The first few are also shown in an example video session ☺
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8a8em-4m0w


* No Requirements
This is what we can do without installing anything else:

** read what other users wrote and download what they share 

hard to discover due to missing activelinks in default config: the links look 
boring

** follow updates of others

requires clicking on "Messages"

-> Need update notifications per bookmarks like Winterface

** upload files confidentially and send them to friends by other means 

This is a multistep process: It should be drag and drop -> a pastebin like 
https://share.riseup.net/

But backed by Freenet, so no one could censor or trace it. No central control.



* need to activate official plugin
all of these need WoT

** write a flog entry
multistep, prone to breakage, spills upload time

** write a freemail (whistleblower stuff!)

breaks by "other ID not yet known".

* need plugin in default bookmarks
** write and comment in Sone
also needs WoT setup



* need inofficial plugin
** publish with Sharesite
spills upload time
could be made official (mostly reviewed)



* need external application
** write in FLIP (Chat)
spills activity time

** write in FMS (Forums)
** upload complex website
- jSite or pyFreenet



* need plugin + external application
** run inproxy to host a site over Freenet (SCGIPublisher or what 
[[https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2015/09/14/using-freenet-for-static-websites.html][what
 bluishcoder does]])
