Nice! Is there a recording of the talk?
Nice, you touched on most of the advantages of Phorge. It really does have some strong competitive advantages.
From my perspective, on Linux, Phorge already supports configurable fonts - that is, none of the specific typefaces mentioned in the phorge css actually work, so it falls back to whatever I set as the default document font in Gnome.

Atkinson looks poor at the font size specified, you're right about that @bekay.
I feel like it might need to break out into another task item, but perhaps CSS modernization is imo a good step towards making Phorge more compatible and capable, on screens both small and large.

I haven’t run this specific issue but I have seen other oddities when using my installed arc within the arc or phorge repos. I’m unable to get it to work unless I use the arc that exists along side that phorge repo. That might be similar here.
Hahaha I’m just now seeing this. Thank you for putting together the presentation and giving the talk. I enjoy seeing your excitement!
I configure my browsers to increase the default font size because my eyes can’t handle the small fonts. Most pages tend to size appropriately but there are some oddities, including Phorge. I’ll grab some screen caps when I’m back on workstation.

I am honestly surprised by the notion, the user base of phorge is still using old, small or low resolution screens. I always thought this project was catered towards tech-savvy devs and/or corporations and will be used in contexts where a FullHD screen is the default case. Maybe we should sharpen our target audience 😅
I am honestly happy that you have the privilege to afford getting bigger screens. Unfortunately not everyone has. The point I'm trying to make is: There may be valid + good reasons to increase font sizes, absolutely. However, "go with the time" and "times have changed" phrases are neither valid reasons nor argumentations. :)

Absolutely not. Maybe in some richer countries to some extent, but not on my mobile phone. (And even if that was true, scaling exists for a reason.)

Thanks for all the tips <3 <3
And on another note: Times have changed and we all have very big screens. I think we should increase the default font size of 13px to 14px. It is about time...

Here you can see the fonts with Phorge itself. For me the clear winner is Noto Sans. It can add some real modern style to the site.
Maybe I should create a slowvote poll to reach a decision?
Regardless of the choice made here; I'm likely going to maintain a patch on my instance that uses Inter for headings and UI elements, and Atkinson Hyperlegible for long-form text prose content.
Thanks for this! BTW you are now in the family of Trusted Contributors - feel free to escalate as a Task under Bug Reports at least I think and maybe Remarkup I think. (You can do this with a manual copy-paste and we can close this as obsolete)

I've used phorge-devcontainer as well and it works great!
Testing if "Foist Upon" does what I hope it does
@avivey Much cleaner and also works as expected (just tested). Thanks for finding that better approach! Now how can I approve your patch as I'm still set as original author, sigh?
Both of these failures are edge cases so it does seem likely we wouldn't have found them as quickly. I do still wonder how many Windows users we have.
To be fair, it's possible that most of the arc features work for Windows users that don't use PHP. Or at least, arc diff might work for some setup of lint/unit configuration.
The ArcanistBundleTestCase failures are due to diff binary not being present on Windows systems. The tests could be rewritten to utilize git diff instead but would take some effort.
Fix some lints about line length
Fix use of ExecFuture to pass a scalar string as first argument instead of variable.
When I was at Wikimedia I remember a lot of issues from search robots endlessly indexing dynamic pages.
I managed to compile xhpast on windows using llvm installed via Scoop. I also have Visual Studio C++ 19 installed which may be required (I saw some suspicious output that indicated that some include files were being pulled from that install somehow).
I wonder how many Windows users we have. The xhpast linter does not work, and the unit test failures listed here are pre-existing and occur without these changes.

Almost seems a little too easy

Also my fault for obviously not testing /all/ steps in D25530
D25532 should fix this...
Sorry, I just assumed arc land will catch it...
This seems to have generated and committed a merge conflict into resources/celerity/map.php
I get the following error when trying to open Phorge:
In case of what?
OK. Then we can add a Task about how to easily configure robot changes without forking, in case.
Thinking more, I think we'd like to allow the robots to index latest version of the code - these days the big boys know how to handle that. Stopping them from crawling older versions is still important.
