We're testing the new journal cleaner.
We open these two pages, clicking their flags, using shift-click to open both at once.
pages
This page has a long history including adds and deletes of many now forgotten items.
This service removes from the journal of any history of items not present in the current story. Drop a page flag to preview a cleaned version.
.
Then we drag the page flag from the first to the Transport dropzone on the second and wait.
In a few seconds we see a new copy of the dropped page. This is a ghost ready to be forked.
We save Neal's cleaned Linkdump so that he can fork it back to his own, older site.
The original Linkdump had 2500 journal actions for a story with 450 items. The cleaned Linkdump has 500 actions, 2000 less than we started with without losing history relevant to the current page.
We've been talking about Condensed Journal variations for two years. It's good to finally have a version implemented so we can get some experience.
