Help
Each kind has a full help page here, and the same circle-help glyph on that kind’s list (and item) opens a slideover so you can keep using the page. Writing help is shared.
Kinds
- BlogLong-form writing with full markdown, file attachments, and citations to the source catalog.
- QuotesA passage attributed to a person or organization, optionally tied to the work it came from.
- PollsAsk a question and let members propose the answers.
- SourcesThe catalog of citeable people and organizations. These are reference entries, not login accounts.
- MediaWorks — books, films, albums, articles, and files — with the people who made them.
Writing and chrome
- TagsLetters, kinds, sort, and requesting a tag from the catalog rail.
- MarkdownFull markdown in posts and comments, light markdown in chat and PMs, and post embeds.
- Date formatPOSIX-style tokens for custom timestamps in Quotes, Blogs, and Chat prefs.
- IconsWhat each header and page chrome icon means — kinds, PM, help, admin, sign in.
