> I want to see, let's say 500 threads per page because that makes skimming much faster. The current set of front-page posts spans about three days of activity. If you're checking in less often than that, then email notification might work better for you. Still, it should be a fairly easy feature to create for someone with sufficient motivation to add. Hint. :) > Is there a feature to get access via a newsreader? Not yet, but unlike SQLite proper, [the Fossil project accepts outside code contributions](https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/contribute.wiki). > what is the search result order? Relevance, according to [SQLite's FTS4 feature][fts4] backing the search engine. (No, not FTS5, probably for backwards compatibility reasons.) > I'm missing to see the date of the post, Again, easy to add for someone with the itch to see the feature included. > How about some alerts like sending me an email... Click your user's name in the upper right corner of this web site, then click Email Alerts. > ...if the following keywords show up in a post. Ah, now you're asking for features you don't get in NNTP or SMTP, so it's orthogonal to the "not a forum fan" line of argument. I'm not so sure about this sort of feature getting added. Generally speaking, Fossil doesn't remember a whole lot about each user on the server side, which it would have to do in order to implement per-user keyword-based email alerting. I'd suggest something like [Google Alerts][ga] as a ready-made alternative. [fts4]: https://sqlite.org/fts3.html [ga]: https://www.google.com/alerts
