# 15:37 barnabywalters I revoked the tokens and haven’t signed up again since, so unless twitter’s token revoker is broken I’m not sure what’s happening
# 15:38 barnabywalters the mentions are both from people who are using bridgy, could it be that webmentions are being sent because of that?
glennjones joined the channel
# 15:44 snarfed barnabywalters: yeah, it's from other brid.gy users. hope you don't mind.

# 17:53 jchivers morning, btw :)

# 17:55 aaronpk good morning! I believe this week would have been a homebrew meetup, but it was NYE. so the next will be in 2 weeks!
# 17:56 jchivers aaronpk: ok cool so the 15th - got it - want me to update the wiki?

# 20:24 bnvk Are any of you aware of a more modern / better approach to sharing of contact data instead of using VCard?
# 20:25 bnvk I mean for lower level passing around of contact data
# 20:25 aaronpk no reason you can't pass around small html documents
# 20:26 bnvk MF inside of HTML really starts to cut into data available in a QR code
# 20:26 aaronpk or if you really hate that idea, could pass around the JSON parsed representation
# 20:27 aaronpk oh for QR codes, I think vcard is your best bet, it's pretty compact and most phones and things can open the files
# 20:27 bnvk Yah, is it acceptable to do JSON values where the keys are {"p-name":"Joe Smythe"}
# 20:27 bnvk yah, I'm trying to create an easy way to share PGP keys / fingerprints, etc...
# 20:28 benwerd Loqi is super-fast at picking up those (re)tweets. Firehose / something else?
# 20:28 aaronpk often he'll report one of my #indieweb tweets before my p3k interface finishes loading
# 20:30 aaronpk I'd say if you're going for something that can be used right now, you pretty much have to use vcard
# 20:32 bret aaronpk, bnvk what about passing around the json mapping of vcard/hcard?
# 20:32 aaronpk yeah I suggested that, but doesn't solve the "use it right now on all devices" case
# 20:33 aaronpk you know how you can SMS someone a contact and they can open it up in their address book?
helloWhispers joined the channel
# 20:36 bear it feels wrong - but that may be because i'm sooo used to xml ;)
# 20:36 KevinMarks No, it feels wrong because it is so much like the vcard spec. The XML vcard specs are even worse
# 20:36 bear does see the humour of him saying that in a room full of web oriented devs
# 20:38 bret I managed to get node + express working over the holidays, porting over my templates and getting my existing posts imported is the current project ;)
# 20:38 KevinMarks QR codes are worse than photos of business cards for digital representations of contact data
# 20:40 bnvk what do you think about how they're be used in the Bitcoin world?
# 20:40 bnvk in that it's sole goal is to just pass a hash string from from device to another
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 20:41 bnvk aaronpk: that page with all the retweets & mentions is slick
# 20:41 bret QR codes are fine as a supplemental addition to human readable data no?
# 20:42 bnvk aaronpk: no worried, but just I saw it now :) you should put the lil "Send Webmention" box at the comment of the thread so it looked like a comment box, maybe add a default avatar
# 20:43 aaronpk oh it'd be cool to auto-parse the target URL before you hit "send" and show the profile photo it finds
# 20:43 aaronpk oh neat it even shows "8 reposts" there. forgot I did that
# 20:44 bret aaronpk are you going to display retweets differently than comments eventually?
# 20:44 bnvk wait, is your comment at the bottom a response to the post at the top?
# 20:45 aaronpk bnvk: it mentions the one at the top yeah, but not a direct reply
# 20:45 bnvk hrm, the link between the two is a bit blurry
# 20:46 aaronpk yeah, cause it's more like a traditional "pingback" than it is a comment or conversation
# 20:46 bret aaronpk have you had any huge blogposts show up in a reply context?
# 20:47 bnvk maybe just a snippet like "referenced this in Other Post Title"
# 20:47 aaronpk cause if it's an actual blog post, then just the title shows up
# 20:47 aaronpk oh also I'm trying to avoid using third-party verbage like that
# 20:48 aaronpk you may notice that nowhere does it have any third-party wording like activity streams on the site
# 20:48 aaronpk (with the exception of the new "retweeted this" and "liked this" which is a side effect of how bridgy is sending the mentions, which I will update with issue #21)
KartikPrabhu1 joined the channel
# 20:49 aaronpk this was a very intentional design decision, so I'm interested in finding solutions that keep that pattern
# 20:49 bret Maybe a simple character limit, Or the paragraph that includes the mention?
# 20:50 aaronpk definitely want to avoid the "[...] blah blah [...]" formatting that pingback always did
# 20:50 bret its hard to make sure that the context is very substantive
# 20:50 aaronpk in fact I think i'll make a github issue for it and reference this conversation
paulcp, KartikPrabhu and bnvk joined the channel
# 21:20 snarfed aaronpk definitely may be in the lead with rendering likes, reposts, etc on a post
# 21:20 snarfed bnvk, bret: you probably already know, but just in case (and for the channel), the webmentions for those retweets etc come from brid.gy
# 21:21 bret I know! I'm rapidly trying to improve my web mention support
# 21:22 bret snarfed, I have to include a link to my website, right?
# 21:23 bnvk snarfed: yah, brid.gy is awesomesauce!
# 21:23 snarfed you don't have to tell bridgy when you sign up though, it detects post links and checks for webmention support
# 21:24 snarfed oh it definitely would. bridgy understands permashortcitations

Phae_ and tommorris joined the channel
# 22:36 snarfed the missing favorites are probably because bridgy only started sending twitter favorites very recently, and since it's using the twitter streaming api, it isn't backfilling them like it does everything else
jancborchardt joined the channel
# 22:37 snarfed as for replies and the one missing RT, they're probably older than bridgy's horizon
# 22:37 tantek snarfed - oh ok. I wonder if there's a way to "backfill" those when there's new activity on a post?
# 22:37 tantek does bridgy cache what it has seen from a particular post?
# 22:38 snarfed it's probably more that it only looks back at the last n things from a given person, or on a given post, etc, and those n are pretty arbitrary right now
# 22:39 tantek I wonder how much of that info is available via barnabywalters' mf2 parsing library in Twitter-compat mode
# 22:39 aaronpk tantek: thanks! yes I think snarfed described the problem
hugoroyd_ joined the channel
# 22:39 aaronpk I believe even if we do pull favorites from the twitter html we won't know the date of them
# 22:40 snarfed twitter-compat mode! oh man, that sounds pretty great. adding to my todo list to look at
# 22:41 snarfed sadly i don't think it handles retweets or favorites yet
# 22:42 tantek snarfed - I'm not sure if retweets or favorites or even @-replies are in the Twitter permalink HTML - they might be XHRd in
# 22:42 aaronpk looking at the html, it looks like we'll be able to just get the list of people who favorited the tweet, but no timestamp
# 22:43 aaronpk oh crap, but we don't know whether it was a retweet or a favorite!
# 22:43 tantek also - on the mobile web UI, there are URLs that show the list of favorites or list of retweets for a tweet
paulcp joined the channel
# 22:44 snarfed no timestamps, but that's fine. bridgy sends other things without timestamps too, e.g. facebook reshares
# 22:44 jchivers looking forward to seeing you guys again

# 22:50 tantek snarfed - you have to log into the mobile site separately
JonathanNeal joined the channel
# 22:52 snarfed whee, 2fa means i have to go generate a disposable password to log into mobile.twitter.com
# 22:52 tantek aaronpk - snarfed - looks like the page requires a referrer!
# 22:52 tommorris I'm pretty sure the Twitter official iOS client (etc.) has some secret sauce APIs. because Tweetbot and other clients don't show your-tweets-being-favourited
# 22:53 snarfed tommorris: hmm. they definitely could/can with the user streaming API. it's just fetching historical favorites that we're still working on
# 22:54 tantek so *either* it requires a login AND referrer, *or* maybe not-logged-in could work if you send the right referrer
# 22:55 snarfed the favorited_popup endpoint seems the most promising so far. returns JSON, no referrer check
# 22:55 tommorris so, what we're saying is to get favourites, we need to sneak our way programatically on to twitter's mobile website and scrape
lmjabreu_ joined the channel
# 22:56 tommorris so here's an idea: let's say I added a little scraper that went and got the RTs and faves from twitter and showed people their twitter icons on the original post.
# 22:57 tommorris with some nice shiny JS so if you hover over, you can click to go back to their page.
# 22:57 tommorris but if you login and associate your home page with your twitter account (or even not login, just do it and ping me about it), you get promoted as a premium retweeter ;)
# 22:58 tommorris your icon starts appearing at the beginning of the list. and instead of just linking back to your twitter, it also links to your personal site
# 22:58 tommorris it's not going all the way to indieweb, but it's nudging people along the path slightly.
# 22:58 tommorris rewarding people who have their own site on their own domain
# 22:59 tommorris (of course, this requires me to work on my site. which I'm finding it hard enough to find time to do.)
# 23:01 tantek just noticed that list of Portland folks makes a convenient A, B, C, D
# 23:02 tommorris wonders if a London homebrew website club is a worthwhile endeavour
# 23:02 tantek tommorris - you should ping benward - I think he is still in London
# 23:02 tantek and perhaps hadleybeeman would be interested too

# 23:22 tantek there must be SOMEONE else @MozPDX with their own website ;)
# 23:22 bret mathpunk was interested in coming to the next one I think
