there was an upgrade and ttbp still works! praise the tildes.
----
i am reaping the consequences of my past self's sloth, because with nearly 600
entries on ttbp, it now takes around 10-11 seconds to load the global feed. so,
here are some solutions i'm considering:
- set a rolling cutoff date for how far back it checks for entries (since entry
date is encoded in filename, this should be fairly fast).
DOWNSIDE: what if no one posts for a long period of time? should the global
feed display only posts within the last, say, week?
- whenever someone posts, queue that post onto a file that lists the 10 most
recent posts; the global feed reads this list instead of trying to generate
one from scratch.
DOWNSIDE: this excludes people who might edit/post from outside of the ttbp
interface
- make a cron job that cruises through all the entry directories and generate a
list of the most recent posts; combine this with the above option. this could
be a way to catch posts that fall through the cracks.
thoughts/ideas appreciated!
i've also opened this as a [github
issue](
https://github.com/modgethanc/ttbp/issues/11), which might be a better
venue to discuss this.
