my posting UI right now provides the permalink of the POSSEd tweet
#
tantek
so I'm thinking of providing some sort of feedback for webmentions sent too, even just a simple list
#
aaronpk
my posting UI redirects to the post URL after it's created.
#
aaronpk
that was my hack^H^H^H^Hsolution after an embarrasing live demo of showing a giant PHP array on screen after posting
#
tantek
I do like the idea of demo-driven design
#
tantek
it's like public realtime selfdogfooding :)

I just showed some of our guys the sample code on webmention.io and blew their minds :) they were like "it's this easy to add comments to the site??"
#
tantek
aaronpk - note typo at bottom of webmention.io - >/script>
#
aaronpk
heh thanks
#
tantek
aaronpk - oh that's interesting - are you thinking about adding h-entry markup to the indiewebcamp mediawiki template?
#
tantek
so that more shows up in reply contexts?
#
aaronpk
that would be fun
#
aaronpk
but no, that was sample data for testing comments on the new esripdx blog
#
tantek
ah ok - was just thinking about it - e.g. what if the indiewebcamp wiki itself sent webmentions
#
aaronpk
could be interesting
#
tantek
so that, e.g. when a wiki page cited one of your posts or articles, you would find out about it
#
aaronpk
I think we haven't explored much on the use case/UI side for non-time-based URLs
#
tantek
on the receiving side, do you want to know when a wiki page links to your site?
#
aaronpk
in general I like to know about inbound links
#
aaronpk
but I'm not sure if or how I would want to display a link from the wiki
#
tantek
well you're replying to a wik page and sending it a webmention, shouldn't you thus be ok receiving one from it too?

tantek meant to say: well you're replying to a wiki page and sending it a webmention, shouldn't you thus be ok receiving one from it too?
#
acegiak
perhaps the webmention comes from the page displaying the change that added the link?

#
tantek
that would be another way to do it - to have revision / deltas send webmentions, similar to how they are posted here in IRC
#
tantek
those would even have a specific author could be marked up with p-author h-card

#
tantek
eschnou - it also looks like https://eschnou.com/entry/testing-indieweb-federation-with-waterpigscouk-aaronpareckicom-and--62-24908.html only accepts pingbacks, not webmentions, right?
#
eschnou
tantek, yup, never took the time to implement webmentions :-(
#
tantek
right, so if my site only sends webmentions, my comments won't show up there.
bnvk joined the channel
#
tantek
next question for all you webmention senders (aaronpk, barnabywalters, benwerd, tommorris), do you also always send pingbacks? or does your code first do webmention discovery and only if no endpoint found, then look for pingback endpoints and send them?
#
cweiske
my lib first tries webmention, and then falls back to pingback
#
barnabywalters
tantek: taproot looks for webmention, falls back to pingback
#
tantek
cweiske - cool. Is that deployed live on your site?
#
tantek
barnabywalters - good to know
#
cweiske
no, i'm still working on the unit tests
#
tantek
barnabywalters - presumably that's per link in your posts?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: per link in the content of posts plus in-reply-to URL
#
tantek
i.e. iterate through links, for each link, do webmention discovery (and send), if no endpoint found, do pingback discovery (and send)
#
cweiske
my lib does both at once, so that I don't have to do all http requests twice
#
tantek
cweiske - how do you do both at once?
#
barnabywalters
yeah, I only make the request once for each URL
#
tantek
only one request for discovery then?
#
cweiske
e.g. xpath that returns both webmention and pingback urls
#
cweiske
tantek, yes
#
tantek
cweiske - do you then just use the first you find? or if your xpath finds multiple endpoints do you send both?
#
barnabywalters
and we can’t even cache the endpoint URLs per-domain because they could in theory be different for each post
#
tantek
right
#
cweiske
no. after I get the list with links, I first use the webmention one if there is one
#
tantek
ok, that's basically what I was describing. I was assuming only one HTTP get for the discovery steps
#
barnabywalters
1. HTTP GET of URL
#
barnabywalters
1. if header or body contains webmention link, send and return
#
barnabywalters
3. if header or body contain pingback link, send and return
#
cweiske
btw, I do a HEAD request first
#
tantek
barnabywalters - does Taproot's posting UI send webmentions/pingbacks synch or async? and does it report results back to you?
#
barnabywalters
cweiske: if the HEAD request doesn’t return anything do you make another GET as well?
#
cweiske
because they might be sending no header links, only in the html
#
barnabywalters
cweiske: I wonder whether overall it’s quicker to just do a GET request instead of potentially making two requests
#
cweiske
depends on the size of the page :)
#
tantek
indeed
#
cweiske
and for non-html urls, it's the sane solution
#
cweiske
you wouldn't even have to do the GET request when you don't receive a HTML content type
#
tantek
barnabywalters does your posting UI send webmentions synchronously or asynchronously?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: sort of hybrid. technically they’re sent synchronously, but I send them after the response content’s been sent to the browser
squeakytoy joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
so posting feels really quick without the need for a task queue
#
tantek
cweiske, by "HTML urls", do you mean type text/html, or do you have a longer list e.g. including application/xhtml+xml etc.?
#
tantek
barnabywalters - makes sense. but then you don't display any results of the webmentions in your posting UI?
#
cweiske
I accept 'application/xhtml+xml', 'text/html',
jernst_ joined the channel
#
cweiske
and use load() resp. loadhtml() depending on their content type
#
barnabywalters
doing it all synchronously would allow that but be really slow, doing it async involves setting up a load of realtime infrastructure
#
tantek
right
#
tantek
but could be useful for demos
#
barnabywalters
or I could save the results of each webmention request on the note and then just wait a few seconds before sending an AJAX request and reloading note content
#
tantek
yes that could be interesting too
#
cweiske
my tool does wait fetches my atom feed, checks if there are updates and sends linkbacks out for new links
#
tantek
barnabywalters - when did you first start sending webmentions?

11th June 2013 according to git log
#
barnabywalters
(site is down so can’t search :(
#
tantek
when did you start accepting webmentions? same day?
#
barnabywalters
20th June 2013, apparently
#
barnabywalters
implemented comment updating on the 23rd
#
tantek
right before indiewebcamp2013 :)
#
tantek
does updating include delete? full comment CRUD?
#
barnabywalters
no, no deletion
#
barnabywalters
although updating to an empty comment does exactly the same thing
#
barnabywalters
or, almost exactly the same
#
tantek
how about you tommorris - when did you start sending webmentions (and do you accept them too?)
#
tantek
barnabywalters - what does your code do if it gets a 410 from the target?
#
barnabywalters
nothing special
#
tantek
(with an empty body - does it then update to an empty body?)
#
tantek
er, empty comment
#
barnabywalters
if it gets a 401 and the e-content is “this post has been deleted”, then it’ll update to an empty comment
#
tantek
you look for that string literal?

#
barnabywalters
is anyone who’s sending indieweb comments deleting and sending 410s?
#
tantek
benwerd is
#
tantek
returning 410s, but yes
#
tantek
and his code responds to 410s by deleting received comments also
#
tantek
I think I like cweiske's HEAD request first approach because it seems like the simplest way to both minimize bytes requested by the server and avoid GETting non-HTML links (which I do link to plenty often)
#
aaronpk
tantek: I also look for webmention first, and fall back to pingback if not found

aaronpk, barnabywalters - I've captured my brainstorming on showing webmention results and reasons why I want to do this here: http://indiewebcamp.com/Falcon#show-webmentions
#
barnabywalters
tantek: howyouknowme protocol?
#
barnabywalters
thinking a little about the stream pagination problems we were talking about with Alf at IWCUK
#
barnabywalters
the problem is that pagination is done on the page level
#
tantek
barnabywalters - indeed, a potential 3rd parameter for webmention that we may end up needing as part of an evolving dynamic whitelist / second-degree approach to fighting spam.
#
barnabywalters
they go away if we don’t trust rel=next/previous on stream pages, and only trust prev/next rels on individual post pages
#
tantek
they also go away if pagination always reflects a specific date-time period
#
tantek
from/to. or sequential post numbers.
#
barnabywalters
tantek: but that can’t be done easily with static sites
#
cweiske
or if page numbers are used the other way round than currently
#
tantek
no it should be easier for static sites
#
cweiske
currently, the lastest posts are on page 0/1
#
cweiske
this is wrong
#
tantek
since the pagination shouldn't change over time
#
cweiske
tantek, exactly
#
tantek
cweiske - yes
#
cweiske
isn't it nice to agree to each other ?:)
#
tantek
my approach on this is to use time periods for pagination, e.g. day-by-day, week-by-week etc.
#
barnabywalters
tantek: you have page-level pagination? where?
#
tantek
cweiske - I meant yes to "currently, the lastest posts are on page 0/1. this is wrong" :)
#
tantek
I'm looking at it from the permalink perspective
#
tantek
barnabywalters - well, I have per-post page-level pagination :)
#
tantek
and if you hack my permalinks you can see all posts for that day ;)
#
tantek
(but there's no explicit nav for that yet)
#
barnabywalters
where is there an example of a static site with working, time-based feed page pagination?
#
tantek
what does "feed" have anything to do with it?
#
barnabywalters
I can’t think how that can work without producing thousands of files, or breaking permalinks
#
tantek
the time-base is on when the content was produced, not when the pagination was requested
#
tantek
hence, universal
#
tantek
barnabywalters see above URL for an example of day-by-day pagination
#
barnabywalters
I am communicating ineffectively again and will stop
#
barnabywalters
at some point I’ll write up a post about what the problem is and how I think post-level pagination crawling fixes it
#
tantek
wait, you're not actually asking for *page numbers* are you? Those are just silly. This is the web, we don't have page numbers :P
#
barnabywalters
tantek: no, indeed I am now
#
barnabywalters
quite the opposite
#
tantek
we don't actually need pagination - just crawlable archives by date-time period
#
tantek
barnabywalters - when you write your post about it, please start from the end user use case. e.g. user comes to your site, and then wants to ...
#
tantek
absence of that was the biggest problem with most of what Alf was saying / asking for
#
tantek
he kept asking for abstract APIs and stuff to build products/apps that are now obsolete (standalone readers)
#
tantek
use-cases good, API requests bad

tantek: RE webmention GET/HEAD discovery, ideally you’d be able to send the request, then check the headers before reading the body — if the headers contain a Link or content type isn’t HTML, close the connection, otherwise parse body
#
barnabywalters
not sure how tricky it’d be to do in PHP though
#
shaners
hadleybeeman: no idea. i just saw it mentioned on twitter by @tomcoates.

@tomcoates

#
friedcell
reading headers before body? not much, but server is still going to make all the effort of making the body
#
hadleybeeman
Fair enough, shaners. I guess it's not a huge surprise.
#
barnabywalters
friedcell: good point, I wonder how long that typically takes
#
barnabywalters
often in order to generate the headers it’ll require the same DB/file access it would to make the body
#
barnabywalters
which is probably a significantly larger time sink than template rendering

this is why POSSE is the right approach, not PESOS

when you POSSE, and a downstream silo gets shutdown, it's like oh well, who cares, I owned the permalinks anyway
#
friedcell
tantek: true
#
tantek
with PESOS, you then have to do a bunch of work to switch to posting from your own site
#
tantek
treat all silos as purgeable caches, nothing more
#
barnabywalters
tantek: in other words, treat silos like databases ;)

Loqi
barnabywalters meant to say: actually, great point — the relationship between your site and silos is exactly the same as between human readable flat files and DBs
#
josephboyle
does it depend on the silo supplying convenient APIs for posting and reading?
#
tantek
josephboyle why would it? PESOS = a dependence on the silo = you're vulnerable when it inevitably shuts down.
#
tantek
POSSE = maybe your code gets an error code when it attempts to explicitly syndicate out. Which if you code defensively you just ignore and go on your merry way.
#
josephboyle
if you haven't scraped it yet
#
tantek
scrape/export status has nothing to do with POSSE vs. PESOS
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - why don't you update the wikipedia page instead of asking tommorris to do so? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopplr
#
josephboyle
can you do either without APIs? if not you're dependent on scraping
#
hadleybeeman
tantek: believe it or not, I don't have a wikipedia account. And I understand it takes a bit of work before they let you do live stuff.
#
tantek
every even semi-popular service I know of has some sort of API to post/syndicate to it - except Instagram
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - not true. you can edit anonymously, and it takes <1min to create an account.
#
tantek
and just another minute to add a sentence at the top about the shutdown
#
josephboyle
how are facebook's? the most interactive stuff is commenting on people's facebook posts
#
josephboyle
yes, just make sure you add the source documenting the shutdown
#
tantek
josephboyle - dopplr.com has it right there on the home page
#
tantek
so you can just say "on the home page"
#
tantek
no need for an explicit ref
#
tantek
josephboyle - is FB interop/POSSE your #1 priority for your personal site?
#
josephboyle
i'll add it. any other notes?
#
josephboyle
probably not for mine, but is biggest case for social for people in general
#
josephboyle
added to wikipedia page
#
barnabywalters
a quick bit of thoroughly unscientific testing indicates that the time-to-headers-received for HEAD vs GET requests is not significantly different either way
#
tantek
josephboyle - don't worry about "biggest case for social for people in general" - that's too hard to predict/understand (unless you've got some solid data/studies behind your hypothesis there)
#
tantek
worry about / build what's the priority for your own personal site instead
#
hadleybeeman
Absolutely, tantek. And when I have a free extra minute, I'll look forward to starting that. :)
#
barnabywalters
the only place I can find a consistent difference (HEAD being faster than GET) is on google.com, and there it’s < 0.1 of a second
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - it doesn't take much longer to edit a wiki page than it does to say something in IRC - so clearly you have free extra minutes :P
#
tantek
barnabywalters - do you ever link to large JPEGs or other media files? what does your system do then when doing a GET to send a webmention/pingback?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: yes, quite often. I don’t do any particularly intelligent checking
#
tantek
yeah - I don't want to accidentally cause massive GET requests
#
tantek
on my server. so a HEAD first seems like a reasonable defense against that.
#
barnabywalters
all of this is premature optimisation anyway ;)

barnabywalters - I disagree - I've already linked to many MB/GB resources in the past - so that's not premature/hypothetical
#
tantek
it's not optimization, it's defensive programming
#
barnabywalters
GB? wow, like what?
#
tantek
from an HTTP requests count point of view, it's *suboptimal* for the common case of HTML files
#
tantek
GB - highdef video recording of talks
#
tantek
so it's not optimization at all (at least I don't think so, perhaps cweiske has different opinion/experience)
#
tantek
I'm doing HEAD first more for defensive reasons (and as an "easy" way to do the Link: header checking first)
#
barnabywalters
makes sense
#
barnabywalters
I wonder if opening a GET request to a huge resource and then closing the connection after parsing the headers causes much load for the server
#
barnabywalters
that’s a little more tricky to test

#
tantek
tricky = harder to debug too
#
tantek
is in favor of simpler, more predictable code/interactions
#
tantek
= easier to maintain code
#
peat
barnabywalters: probably depends on the server as well.

tantek: Aral just gave his talk on Indie Data here in Portland
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: does realtimeconf have a real time stream?
#
aaronpk
looks like there are cameras, not sure if it's being streamed
#
barnabywalters
what was the indiedata talk like?
#
aaronpk
similar to the one in brighton

barnabywalters
didn’t see the one in Brighton

barnabywalters
is caseorganic’s talk on later today or tomorrow?

aaronpk
tomorrow at 4:45 pdt or so

barnabywalters
chrome’s extension permissions are so weird
#
barnabywalters
you can’t install extensions by downloading them, or by opening the files, and there’s no button in the extensions UI or file menu to install one
#
barnabywalters
but you can install untrusted extensions with almost no warnings by dragging them in

#
tantek
aaronpk - what does Aral's indiedata talk have to do with realtime?
#
caseorganic
tantek: not sure at all, but he was given a standing ovation by about 30% of the audience
#
caseorganic
tantek: and it was more about focusing on design in open source. started off a little strange and then inspired people, so it was useful
#
caseorganic
he said that he created the term indiedata - which reminds me. it's time for an official timeline of indieweb
#
caseorganic
tantek: especially after i give the ending talk
#
aaronpk
interestingly the theme of this year's realtimeconf is all anti-silo. http://instagram.com/p/fnbJlnDcuM/
#
caseorganic
there is a protest
#
tantek
caseorganic - I had the same thought about /timeline
#
caseorganic
tantek: history or timeline - timeline might be more applicable
#
tantek
each has a purpose
#
caseorganic
tantek: my talk will be a history, so i can fill in that section after giving the talk
#
caseorganic
tantek: this happened in the wearable computing community.
#
tantek
the timeline would be good for key achievements with citations
#
caseorganic
searches for weblink over frustratingly slow wifi
#
aaronpk
why is my LTE so bad here!!
#
tantek
a /history page would be good for a more *thorough* history of indieweb and silos along with deadends of various open source projects
#
aaronpk
too many nerds with LTE all in the same place
#
caseorganic
tantek: good
#
tantek
case organic - exactly. except we have ISODate to the day granularity
#
caseorganic
tantek: re: /history vs. /timeline page - i'll stub both out so we have context when filling them in later
#
caseorganic
tantek: great
#
tantek
caseorganic - go for it
#
caseorganic
tantek: ugh, slow internet is slow. this is psychologically demoralizing
#
tantek
the key is, /timeline for *key* *indieweb* ideas/achievements, and /history for *thorough* *contextual* history
#
tantek
caseorganic - no problem - don't worry about stubbing the pages then
#
tantek
focus on the present and collecting data from realtime conf - you can wiki it later

ok, glass tell the me the earliest reference on the web to "Pingback"

even Hixie: "This site is no longer actively maintained. / I mainly post on Google+ now." - http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1032794857&count=1 :(
#

THIS is why we have the selfdogfood requirement in #indiewebcamp - look at the greats before us who were seduced by the silos.
#
_6a68
tantek: i have noticed a lot of google folks seem to have moved to G+. I suspect there was some kind of internal arm-twisting.

tantek
perhaps in general (e.g. dogfooding), however, Hixie is not someone who bends to any kind of arm twisting

in his case I believe he made the choice of his own free volition

probably should. not sure how best to do that though

privately. message him on some channel, and say hey, really liked your talk, have something I wanted to discuss with you in private.
#
tantek
this kind of thing (which tends to be emotionally impactful) is better discussed/resolved in person
#
tantek
he might not understand what he did wrong
#
tantek
so communicating that in person will help convey it. from my understanding he is a caring person and wants to know about things like this.

#
tantek
aaronpk - it's not obvious how to leave a comment - considered the webmention form input approach for the blog?
#
aaronpk
yeah, they're working on that now :)
#
tantek
is this the first corporate blog that supports receiving webmentions and displaying comments?
#
aaronpk
most likely yes :)
#
barnabywalters
sounds like an item for /timeline :)
#
tantek
aaronpk - no h-entry markup though, so no reply-context ...
#

and your "comment" is a note, rather than a "reply" : http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2013/10/18/2/realtimeconf-mapattack
#
aaronpk
ah crap! I had that in the first design, but it was removed with the new design
#
tantek
can you build in a test for them to run, e.g. using pin13.net to process it and then check the JSON output?
#
aaronpk
I believe this is the argument most companies use when they say they don't want to add microformats
#
tantek
(on a permalink of a past blog post that's not expected to change)
#
tantek
well if you add it to the pre-deploy unit-tests...
#
aaronpk
heh, a test suite for a static html site :)
#
tantek
apparently not-so-static if it can "lose" markup
#
aaronpk
well we just launched the new design, it was something I did really quick before
#
tantek
which means really quick again right? ;)
#
aaronpk
probably yeah
#
aaronpk
but not sure how best to add a test framework here
#
tantek
presumably they have *some* process before they deploy to make sure they don't break things
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: you could either put it in the deploy workflow, or try to make it part of the front end dev’s lives
#
aaronpk
not on this site, we did it pretty quickly
#
barnabywalters
e.g. if you have an office dashboard, add a “latest blog posts” section which is from parser mf
#
aaronpk
I think I could reasonably add a rake task that does the test
#
tantek
barnabywalters - such a dashboard is an *excellent* idea
#
aaronpk
our front-end guys are pretty familiar with that kind of command line stuff since we're using middleman (ruby) for all our sites
#
barnabywalters
for a lot of people mf2 data is still too intangible
#
tantek
building something on top of the API that is the microformats on the page
#
tantek
indeed
#
barnabywalters
or, even better: make a deploy task which POSSEs the latest blog post to twitter, using mf2 data
#
barnabywalters
I guarantee any issues will get fixed quickly then ;)
