This feels like a stupid question, but there’s plenty of techniques out there that more expert coders use that I don’t know about. How do you preserve minor or major changes you may have made to a script made by someone else while still being able to update any new changes they have? Besides the obvious way of saving your changes somewhere and reinserting them.
I’d be happy for someone to correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel as though you’re pretty much right with your last statement. Generally a project becomes forked and when the source is updated, you integrate the new changes into your now separate fork.
I was working on trying to figure out how to do a fork and add my changes to your fed awareness code, and there you go adding another option that I end up liking more than mine or the previous ones. So never mind. :)
I did end up doubling the dot size for more visibility, but I think it works better than the rest because it’s marking where the actual federation input came from, the user name.
