All this spying nonsense goes to show how important it is to own your data: http://indiewebcamp.com/why #indieweb

@Adora
Don't get me wrong, you're still going to be exposed unless you go to some crazy extremes, but #indieweb is a good start.

Good evening, is anyone here?
#
cweiske
hm. the list with participants is empty. seems nobody is here.

#
evaryont
ah, I didn't realize there was a list (had searched a bit around indiewebcamp)
#
cweiske
i mean here in irc
#
cweiske
there is a list of people in your irc client probably
#
evaryont
yes, it's just members in the room. not sorted by recency or anything 'fancy' like that :-)
#
evaryont
weechat, by the way.
#
evaryont
Ah, XChat is a great client, too
#
cweiske
just ask your question
#
evaryont
ah, anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with BrowserID, particularly in implementing a provider
#
cweiske
I can't say for all for sure, but I doubt it
#
cweiske
most of the people here are in the US timezones
#
cweiske
so the channel is more active in the afternoon
#
evaryont
yeah, I'm in Phoenix AZ, but going to school and all that, so I live in the college student's timezone :-)

Just finished implementing machine tags based repost: http://indiewebcamp.com/plaintext#Machine_tags_based_repost
#
sandeepshetty
Would love to get some feedback.
#
barnabywalters
sandeepshetty: lookin’ good
#
aaronpk
a little bit sad they don't show up in the mf2-parsed version http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sandeep.io%2F36
#
sandeepshetty
The last few posts (that were basically attempts to send webmentions) made me realize that reposting is an important enough use case that requires special handling
#
sandeepshetty
aaronpk: Oh... hadn't checked it against that...
#
barnabywalters
the child microformat works really nicely though
#
sandeepshetty
yeah and the e-content is good..
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: surely having a mf2 representation is more useful than getting at the machine tags?
#
sandeepshetty
that part that's not right is the stuff that's auto-stripped
#
sandeepshetty
in fact that's the reason I experimented with this... I want to eventually syndicate the markdown (or whatever I use) so the machine tags will also be present..
#
aaronpk
if it's all the same data, yea guess the tags dont' need to be in the mf2 version
#
sandeepshetty
I don't like the auto-stripping.. I would rather provide my own plain text representation of the post...
#
sandeepshetty
I'm very happy with the UX also.. unlike Twitter's retweet... I wanted to show clearly who is reposting (assuming this will get syndicated eventually)
#
barnabywalters
sandeepshetty: can you add your own annotations to the post as well as the reposted body?
#
sandeepshetty
it's coded that way... it basically strips the machine tags and added the repost template at the end... but I'm not too happy with it yet..
#
sandeepshetty
still have to think about how trailing tags will fit into it and if my own comments need be before or after the repost blurb.
#
barnabywalters
sandeepshetty: these are good problems to have :)
#
barnabywalters
RE before/after — I think that is often hugely dependent on context and I’m certainly going to keep the ability to choose where they go
#
barnabywalters
when I post quotes there’s such a wide variety of different contexts and purposes I like having that flexibility
#
sandeepshetty
sorry was just pushing the code so I could point to it...
#
sandeepshetty
barnabywalters: I agree (re good problems to have). I haven't thought through the different types of reposting yet...
#
sandeepshetty
one problem with machine tags is that it's flat so you can have only one #repost:url, #repost:author, etc. Which means it you can only repost one post at a time
#
barnabywalters
SO MUCH BACKSLASH
#
sandeepshetty
haha yeah... escape hell...
#
sandeepshetty
basically is you want \\ in a regex you need to use \\\\ within a php string
#
barnabywalters
I wrote a little helper for splitting out machine tags from plaintags, not sure if it might be useful to you: https://github.com/barnabywalters/php-helpers/blob/master/BarnabyWalters/Helpers/Helpers.php#L239
#
barnabywalters
I’m moving away from using machine tags so much now but that’s a fairly useful little function
#
sandeepshetty
also there are lots of non-capturing subpatterns which are noisy in the regex but make the $matches output clean
#
sandeepshetty
barnabywalters: The complication in mine is because I'm pulling it out of the entire post content.. it's not a separate field
#
sandeepshetty
and I'm allowing quotes values...
#
barnabywalters
sandeepshetty: true, I never went that complex :)
#
barnabywalters
rather, I never actually typed in machine tags
#
barnabywalters
they were all added automatically
#
sandeepshetty
I won't be typing out them either (eventually).. they will be added automatically or from special interface... so for example, I want to do this reposting stuff from a bookmarklet
#
sandeepshetty
barnabywalters: why are you moving away from using machine tags?
#
barnabywalters
sandeepshetty: most of my usage of them (location, emoome stuff) was basically a hack to add arbitrary data to a schema-ish database
#
barnabywalters
now I’m just storing array structures, I can put things like location data in that
#
barnabywalters
and use machine tags as a staging area
#
barnabywalters
to test out the usefulness of new ideas before I dedicate new keys to them
#
sandeepshetty
ah you treat it as meta-data... I treat is as part of the content... it seems to be the only way to provide context in plaintext at the moment: http://indiewebcamp.com/plaintext
#
sandeepshetty
It's not meant to be displayed... but syndicated for sure...
#
barnabywalters
sandeepshetty: yeah, that’s an approach certainly worth exploring!

note complete cluelessness about “micro formats” and “Hcard“ and not knowing what “semantic” actually meant
