  • davewiner: Hmmm
  • davewiner: I just changed the name of braintrust/server.js to braintrust/braintrust.js. This means that when we do a forever list, it shows the name of the app, not something so generic (which is kind of useless).
  • davewiner: Testes testes.
  • davewiner: When things like this happen I cackle like a fool. ;-)
  • davewiner: And it did.
  • davewiner: The braintrust server app is looking for updates on the channel named "braintrust" -- this is the way it was set up to work with Slack. If we want the exact same app to work with this app, it must use the same channel name. So I added a setting in config.json that allows you to set the default channel name. In theory, this update should appear on the liveblog as a result. Let's see!
