# 15:55 aaronpk oh I have some pretty big changes to indienews coming after talking with Tantek yesterday
# 15:57 aaronpk yes, you'll need to link to it with rel="syndication" which will probably be displayed alongside the twitter syndication link in most cases
# 15:57 barnabywalters aaronpk: but how can we put a link to the indienews item before the item is created?
# 15:58 aaronpk the URL will follow a pattern so you can create the URL before submitting:
# 15:59 barnabywalters prevents query strings and hash fragements from ever being useful, but cool nontheless!
# 16:00 aaronpk i mean you can't use it to retrieve a separate page
# 16:01 barnabywalters aaronpk: yeah, I meant that you can never use query strings for stuff on indienews — not that that’s likely to be a problem
# 16:03 aaronpk nah probably not. i can just do the 'load more' thing if the comments get too big
# 16:03 barnabywalters aaronpk: single-page comments seem to have worked for hacker news, so unlikely to be a problem here :)
# 16:04 barnabywalters nice work — it’s great to to see more apps using microformats for useful, non SEO stuff!
# 16:05 barnabywalters supporting comments on indienews might also be a good proxy for people who can’t/don’t want to build native indieweb comment support
# 16:05 aaronpk also the way I'm handling comments will make more sense after this is live
# 16:06 barnabywalters perhaps there’s some way of letting people put the indienews webmention endpoint as their webmention endpoint, then treating any comments sent there as comments on the indienews entry?

# 20:07 aaronpk after I showed Dalton IndieAuth and suggested they use it
# 20:07 Loqi aaronpk meant to say: after I showed Dalton IndieAuth and suggested they use rel=me
# 20:07 tantek does that mean indieauth now supports app.net as an authenticator?
# 20:11 aaronpk now I can add app.net as an IndieAuth authenticator
# 20:16 aaronpk interesting, lots of people want DNS based verification as well with a TXT record
eschnou joined the channel
# 20:19 aaronpk two main reasons: 1) they don't want to display a link to app.net on their home page, and 2) to be able to verify hosted services that don't allow you to edit the HTML (tumblr, svbtle, etc)
# 20:20 aaronpk tommorris: click the "advanced" instructions. ironically, that part is shorter

# 21:03 aaronpk it's dead simple to add new authentication providers if there's an omniauth gem already written

# 21:48 aaronpk also from dalton: "I managed to get Dustin Curtis to add rel="me" to Svbtle"
# 21:50 aaronpk well at least you can point your domain at it, and it supports rel-me links!
# 21:51 aaronpk we need a "Getting Started" guide for site/service providers separate from the guide for people
# 21:51 aaronpk like, if you're making a service and want to be a good indieweb player, do these things: _______
# 21:51 aaronpk 1) provide a way for people to add rel=me links to other profiles 2) provide a way to export all a user's data, ...
# 21:52 aaronpk 3) mark up a feed with h-entry microformats 4) add an h-card to the user's home page
# 21:54 aaronpk for example I'd like to be able to send a link to Dalton and have them implement everything
# 21:57 tantek remember the notes we were taking on what indienews should to to be a good indieweb citizen?
# 22:06 tantek aaronpk - how about indieweb.com/friendly - as in how to make your site indieweb friendly
# 22:06 tantek is that catchy enough of a URL to point site/service providers to?
# 22:06 tantek linking back to original posts with rel=canonical
b0bg0d joined the channel
# 22:08 aaronpk yea that's pretty good! let me find my other notes
# 22:08 aaronpk webmention: If a syndicated copy of a post receives a webmention, the webmention response must contain a link back to the canonical URL.
