| 16:47 | <Michael Ficarra> | I spent my weekend rebuilding TCQ from the ground up using modern tooling and adding every feature I've ever wanted (and nearly every request from its issue tracker) https://github.com/michaelficarra/michael-tcq |
| 16:48 | <Michael Ficarra> | If anyone wants to hop on a call some time this week and help me stress test it, maybe one day we could actually use it in a meeting |
| 16:51 | <Michael Ficarra> | lots of quality of life features for the chairs, too, like copying/restoring the queue, copying the results of a temp check, auto importing an agenda document, modifying the chair list after the meeting has been created, ... |

| 17:10 | <Chris de Almeida> | wow. this looks fantastic! I will definitely have more feedback later but here are some initial thoughts: the fact that TCQ has somewhat limited functionality is, imo, a feature, not a bug. but it definitely needs many/all of these improvements, and more

| 17:36 | <Michael Ficarra> | this is great for many cases, but in others, e.g. people intending to write </end> / EOM things, will be awkwardThe alternative is that they miss their chance to get on the queue at all, which doesn't ever seem preferable. |
| 17:43 | <Chris de Almeida> | don't get me wrong -- this is a good addition 🙂 |
| 17:51 | <Michael Ficarra> | It'll also likely increase the overall quality of the queue entries. Instead of writing something quick just to reserve your spot, you can reserve your spot first and take a second to express your idea better. And even make revisions now that they're editable! |
| 17:59 | <shu> | see i think the non-editable system teach us all how to write better clickbait headlines |
| 18:11 | <bakkot> | need the queue to be sorted by upvotes instead of first-come-first-served |
| 18:11 | <bakkot> | or sort-by-controversial, tbh |
