This release adds new features to support Cotoami's Input/Observe/Connect cycle.
Cotoami Scraper
To discover interesting connections, you should collect as many varieties of Cotos as possible. But how? Cotoami Scraper helps you generate Cotos from various sources.
Cotoami Scraper is a Chrome Extension that scrapes web content to generate inputs for Cotoami. Currently, it supports the three types of content in web pages: Page link, Selection and Kindle highlights. The screenshot below shows scraping Kindle highlights.
From this version, Cotoami can accept posts from Cotoami Scraper.
Cotoami Scraper is available on Chrome Web Store and being developed as an open source project.
Random/Shuffle Cotos (#139)
After collecting a variety of Cotos, this new random/shuffle feature helps you observe various combinations of Cotos to discover new connections.
We're expecting this feature to lower the hurdle of posting contents even if they are apparently irrelevant or unrelated to the current context. You can expect to find them later in serendipitous combinations.
Grouping (#143)
When you observe Cotos and notice some connection or commonality between some of them, but the commonality is not yet clear to you, this new grouping feature would be useful.
"Pin as a group" button on the selection allows you to make a group without naming it.
Minor improvements
- Retain coto-selection on changing the current cotonoma (#140).
- Introduce searchId to ensure to display the last result of asynchronous requests.
- Keep the scroll position on posting if the position is not at the bottom of the timeline.
