# 00:08 tantek ok didn't see/hear any objection to "feed file" so I'm going for it
# 00:11 bear ^^ for teaching me something about a Python module I didn't know about
# 00:11 bear I *love* learning new things and that was a fun one to learn
# 00:12 bear yea - it solves in a single call the relative webmention issue
# 00:14 kylewm snarfed: is "Bridgy Publish" common knowledge (i.e., ok to reference on the wiki)?
# 00:14 tantek I believe it was openly demonstrated at IndieWebCampSF
# 00:14 snarfed i still need to add some ui and write docs before i announce it more loudly, but i'm not hiding it
# 00:15 kylewm great, I just wanted to say "Bridgy Publish may help with POSSEing pictures to twitter and facebook", just so there's no confusion about the direction
# 00:16 kylewm and thank you for writing up those notes, tantek
# 00:17 tantek kylewm - no problem, and thanks for the edits! :)

# 00:23 nslater why use web mentions over http referers?
# 00:24 nslater i asked that here:
# 00:24 nslater but i'm not sure my question was answered
# 00:25 pauloppenheim nslater: i have been wondering that as well, but i suppose a simple answer is "intention"
# 00:25 tantek I thought so too, but the SO answer is decent too
# 00:25 nslater i wonder why that matters and why it's worth the complexity tradeoff
# 00:25 tantek which is that HTTP referrers will happen A LOT
# 00:26 tantek whereas a webmention has more specific semantics
# 00:26 tantek and second/further times it's an Update (or possibly Delete)
# 00:26 aaronpk you could always make an http referer -> webmention bridge and see what happens :)
# 00:26 aaronpk or just start parsing your referers and displaying them as comments if you find a post
# 00:27 aaronpk like you said, the burden is on the linked-to site to parse the headers, so you can do it if you want without asking permission from anyone
rektide joined the channel
# 00:29 pauloppenheim i hacked a test system for that a while ago, my issue was coming up with a way to handle and make sense of everything
# 00:29 kylewm If someone posted a link to your site and no one ever clicked on it, would you ever get an HTTP Referer? asking out of ignorance
bnvk joined the channel
# 00:30 aaronpk of course the linking site could make an HTTP request with the referer when the reply is created (which would be very similar to webmention then)
# 00:31 nslater pauloppenheim: all you need is a single referer
# 00:31 nslater google bot is likely to provide that
# 00:32 nslater number of referers could even be used as a metric to gauge importance
# 00:32 nslater (number of occurrences of each url, i mean)
# 00:33 nslater wrt spammers, trackbacks get spam. sure other protocols do too
# 00:34 pauloppenheim but yeah, the referrer spam problem means that if you use it, you need to tool it
# 00:34 nslater though this seems like a game of cat and mouse
# 00:34 nslater if you choose one protocol over another based on that, and then it gets popular, ... uh oh :)
# 00:35 nslater would make even less sense to advocate based on that justification
scor joined the channel
# 00:36 pauloppenheim nslater: one other nice thing about webmentions is that your webmention processor can be any URL
# 00:36 pauloppenheim it would be easy enough to pack up and ship out logs too I suppose, but this is built in for the case of static sites
# 00:36 tantek nslater - that's not the conclusion I come to, but rather that we have a window of opportunity to strengthen webmebmetion before it gets hit badly.
# 00:37 KartikPrabhu bear: sorry I missed your question, but you seemed to have found that it works! :D
# 00:38 tantek so, problem, Flickr does not follow ASCII ordering
# 00:38 nslater well my point is: spam is a common denominator. it makes no sense to sell a less popular system for its low level of spam, unless those low levels are attributable to the system, and not the lack of popularity. and if there were a way of protecting webmention against spam, presumably the same system could be tooled for other systems also
paulcp joined the channel
# 00:39 nslater tantek: ah, yep. i saw you cited them, but was wondering what the deficiencies were
JasonO joined the channel
# 00:39 tantek "makes no sense to sell a less popular system for its low level of spam" is a strawman argument - no one is doing htat
# 00:40 Loqi tantek meant to say: "makes no sense to sell a less popular system for its low level of spam" is a strawman argument - no one is doing that
# 00:40 tantek nslater - re: deficiencies - short version, base58 etc. do not follow the methodologies given here: tantek.com/w/NewBase60#Methodology
ricmac joined the channel
# 00:41 nslater the doc cited says its simpler than pingback. but as i say in my SO question, it still seems more complex than http referer. so interested to learn what is gained by adding that complexity
# 00:42 tantek so you can figure that out by searching for why pingback instead of HTTP referers
# 00:42 nslater assuming i agree with whatever i find :)
# 00:43 nslater i didnt understand why pingbacks were used either
# 00:43 pauloppenheim nslater: but for right now the tool i was making to deal with referrer chomping is way more daunting already
# 00:44 nslater i'm less interested in "are webmentions better than trackback/pingback/etc" and more "why does anybody use these things in the first place?"
# 00:44 nslater pauloppenheim: hmm
# 00:44 tantek nslater, pauloppenheim, yes, and your approach is the right now, question something by implementing the alternative that makes (more) sense to you. and document what you discover!
# 00:44 Loqi tantek meant to say: nslater, pauloppenheim, yes, and your approach is the right one, question something by implementing the alternative that makes (more) sense to you. and document what you discover!
# 00:44 pauloppenheim nslater: least of which because it assumes my webserver is logging referrer already
# 00:45 nslater your previous statement
# 00:45 tantek there's nothing saying that webmention (or use thereof) can't be simplified further. someone just hasn't done it yet. ;)
# 00:45 tantek bear, your questions aren't really about feed files
# 00:46 bear yes, I'm realizing that as I go back and re-read
# 00:46 bear I was just in the process of removing it
# 00:46 nslater what's funny tantek is that i look at your NewBase60 method, and i think "damn, that's not quite right" and i want to make my own
# 00:46 nslater specifically, i don't like capital letters
# 00:46 bear I've just realized that I need to implement feed in order to grok why I am uncomfortable with it
# 00:47 tantek with specific examples of posts (permalinks) you want to markup with such special features
# 00:47 nslater was just reading http://www.nngroup.com/articles/url-as-ui/ linked to from timbl's cooluris page, wheren neilsen argues that mixed capitalisation is bad for useability. he might be right. i just think they look ugly in urls. heh
# 00:48 tantek which lends more credibility to your questions (beyond being theoretical or possibly based on dated assumptions / use-cases)
# 00:48 bear I am going to gather some real world examples of past feeds that i've had to implement using atom and rss
# 00:48 tantek nslater - yes, I tend to agree with that - for long URLs
# 00:49 tantek hopes he doesn't depress nslater too much. ;)

# 00:55 nslater hehe this is funny
# 00:55 nslater though i feel like you're missing a line
# 00:56 nslater the amount of times i've heard from the semweb folks that uris are *completely opaque* ;)
# 00:56 tantek nslater - oh I have a different post for that ;)
# 00:57 nslater i read the URI spec one day, and was surprised to learn that everything after the third "/" is just binary data
# 00:57 nslater i.e there's no default character encoding for urls!
rknLA joined the channel
# 00:57 nslater could be anything you like. completely not specified. could be the binary for a png for all the spec cares
# 00:58 nslater (there are a few reserved octet sequences, so you might have difficulty with that, but who knows)
# 00:59 nslater i think i was looking into this because a url i was trying to use was being turned into mojibake by something
# 01:01 nslater read that thread
# 01:01 nslater uses URLs on purpose most of the time
# 01:02 tantek pauloppenheim - so do I. Hence "Launchers" :)

view diff )
# 01:23 bnvk tantek: i'm super excited about exploring this aspect of IndieWeb, and making it easy to install different apps on different platforms :)
# 01:24 tantek whereas it looks like you're thinking installing on the *server* (e.g. prismbreak etc.)
# 01:24 bnvk right, I need to write more, but its getting late here and wanted to push up something
# 01:24 kylewm tantek, so is the burden on the receiver to de-duplicate those replies? (remove comments where comment->permalink == comment->source->rel-syndication)
# 01:25 tantek bnvk - the FirefoxOS app store uses open formats & protocols for this already too
# 01:25 tantek so there's already open prior art to "just use"
# 01:25 bnvk the first case of this "app store" is create something that can used in ArkOS as well as IndieBox, that then hands off the machine instructions to their middleware
# 01:25 tantek rather than documenting needs for a new format etc.
# 01:26 tantek but you're using "examples" of *client* app stores to try to inform your design
# 01:26 bnvk well, server, is a lose term, a raspberry pi at home or a laptop... not much difference
CheckDavid joined the channel
# 01:26 tantek doing something for the user (client), vs. serving stuff across the internet to others (including the user) (server)
# 01:27 bnvk it's almost identical to the mobile one
# 01:27 tantek so you need to split this into client vs. server sections on Store
# 01:27 tantek bnvk - all the existing stores you mentioned are ALL client
# 01:27 tantek whereas your brainstorming for Arkos indiebox etc. are all *server*
# 01:27 bnvk by client do you mean "computer where software is installed" ?
# 01:27 tantek where comparable examples would be things like Cpanel
# 01:28 tantek doing something for the user (client), vs. serving stuff across the internet (or an intranet) to others (server)
# 01:29 bnvk so, are you saying navigating this interface I am talking about on a Raspberry Pi and using it to install software (on the Pi) would be server
# 01:29 bnvk but then using this on your laptop would be called "client" ?
# 01:30 bnvk mmm, I could also use my laptop as a server ;)
# 01:30 tantek "could also use" is theoretical line of thinking - not useful sorry
# 01:31 bnvk I like thinking all of my devices as equal citizens on the net
# 01:31 tantek from a user-centric perspective, it's also a false perspective
# 01:31 tantek from a security perspective, it's a false perspective
# 01:31 tantek from a "how reliably are they connected to the net" perspective, it's also false
# 01:33 bnvk I don't quite follow what "false perspective" means, unless it's just a nice way of saying "you're wrong"
# 01:33 bnvk my thinking is, most user's don't understand client and server
# 01:34 bnvk a lot of users don't understand "web browser"
# 01:34 bnvk they understand this device, that device, or "somewhere on the intenet"
# 01:34 tantek bnvk - I reject "a lot of users don't understand "web browser" "
# 01:35 tantek and you're falling into the "everyone" trap by saying "a lot of users"
# 01:35 bnvk so because they install software, they understand what "type" of software it is?
# 01:35 bnvk and how that functions in a greater eco system?
# 01:38 bnvk tantek: what security assumptions are issues when considering a Pi or a laptop equal citizens?
netweb joined the channel
# 01:40 tantek leaving something on the network accessible from the internet
# 01:41 tantek client vs. server security scenarios / attack vectors are different
# 01:41 tantek but you need to split the page and make the client / server distinctions - or else it's going to be confusing / misleading

# 01:41 pauloppenheim if we lived in Vint Cerf's store-and-forward post-IP-protocol future, laptops can be servers. Until then it's probably a bad idea.
# 01:41 bnvk cheers, I'll be refining it more tomorrow and this week
# 01:44 bnvk pauloppenheim: what do you see the main obstruction to laptops being servers? The IP4 issue?
# 01:45 pauloppenheim bnvk: i do not know your technical background, so i do not know how seriously to take your inquiry
# 01:46 bnvk i'm a software engineer and designer, I run a couple linode boxes, I used to run HTTP, FTP "servers" from my home windows PC in the 90s... I'm building Mailpile right now
# 01:46 nslater of course, home laptops could be servers in the federate web
# 01:47 nslater but we'd need some clever arch to make that happen
# 01:48 nslater data would need to be redundant. lots of ways to approach that. you could bi-directionally replicate between peers, so that everybody has a lot of the data, and then you just end up requesting from whoever is nearest (and online)
# 01:49 nslater one of the things im interested in adding to couchdb is bittorrent sync protocol
# 01:49 pauloppenheim nslater: but that does not exist today for the media currently under discussion
# 01:49 bnvk pauloppenheim: what do you mean what happened?
# 01:49 pauloppenheim you can easily transmit immutable media that way today using bittorrent, yes.
# 01:49 nslater pauloppenheim: it does actually. you can do it with couchdb. though you'll hit a snag with addressing
# 01:49 pauloppenheim bnvk: can I access an URL that you were hosting on that machine in the time period you speak of?
# 01:50 bnvk no, that was a 133 MHz pentium 1 that sadly has gone to the great silicon pile in the sky
# 01:50 nslater pauloppenheim: oh?
# 01:51 nslater pauloppenheim: bittorrent uses trackers for this, of course. why not trackers for the web
# 01:52 nslater magnet links instead of URLs for your website :)
# 01:53 nslater i see "Yo Dawg, I am a webserver coming from a Macbook Air using Pagekite"
# 01:54 nslater bnvk: so pauloppenheim's point is that a typical characteristic of a website is that it is always available. which is why websites are typically hosted on dedicated hardware, in dedicated buildings
# 01:54 bnvk once IP6 rolls out more stuff like this will be much easier to do
# 01:55 bret i have ipv6 at my house... sadly not a router that can support it
paulcp joined the channel
# 01:55 bnvk right, that is "typical" assumed characteristic of a website
# 01:55 nslater one way of getting past that problem is to distribute your site across lots of machines. but the current web isn't set up to handle the addressing issues that come with that right now
# 01:55 bnvk I don't want to assume that I always want all of my personal indie data always on, some data yes, some data, I'm fine with it being not accessible when I'm not online
# 01:56 nslater pauloppenheim: not so well for an indie federated web where your data is on your friends laptops, though
# 01:56 nslater yes, if you're balancing across a known pool of servers
# 01:56 bnvk pauloppenheim: yes, that's why a lot of people like the raspberry pi idea
# 01:57 bnvk would be nice, let's friggin build towards it
# 01:57 bnvk if we say, the way the internet has gone the last 15 years is how it has always been and always will be, then that's how it will stay
ricmac joined the channel
# 01:57 nslater one thing i like about couchapps is that they like the git of websites. i publish a couchapp, and you can clone it like you can clone a git repo. and someone can clone it from you. and we can merge in any direction we want
# 01:58 bnvk personally, I'd like to not have to pay hosting companies when I can leave a small machine on at home
# 01:58 pauloppenheim i'm not a spokesperson for this community, but it feels like that is another project, not the indieweb
# 01:58 nslater in the same way it doesn't make sense to talk about a git repo being "online" it doesn't make sense to talk about a couchapp website being "online". it's a different way about thinking about the locality of a site
# 01:58 pauloppenheim bnvk: you can leave a machine on at home if you want to, that does work today
# 01:59 bnvk nslater: of our early IndieWeb friends Max Ogden made a couchapp clone of diaspora alpha like that
# 01:59 nslater oh max is an indie webber is he? cool
# 02:00 nslater have you read about unhosted before?
# 02:00 bnvk yah, I'm friends with some of those dudes
# 02:00 nslater unhosted is like your idea but even more extreme
pfenwick joined the channel
# 02:00 bnvk pauloppenheim: using pagekite if my ISP switches my IP or anything it adjusts to that as it pokes a hole through the LAN via reverse proxying
# 02:01 bnvk nslater: right, I like that unhosted stuff, it's far out, but neat
# 02:02 bnvk pauloppenheim: right, of course, my home connection is usually good enough- my personal site is not mission critical data that lives depend on, it's blog posts, notes, and my portfolio ;)
# 02:03 pauloppenheim i've literally had my site go down during a job interview, and one of my interviewers said something snide about "well, good thing we're not interviewing you for operations"
# 02:03 nslater i quite like the idea of only having your website available when your computer is running
# 02:03 nslater it's counter-culture in a pleasing way
# 02:04 nslater probably wouldn't do it myself though. perhaps better left as an idea ;)
# 02:04 nslater having a website that only works when a raspi is on makes total sense though
# 02:04 nslater assuming the website is related to the functioning of the raspi
# 02:04 bnvk and in an indieweb "having conversations with my friends via our personal sites" I think it fits decently
# 02:05 bnvk yah, they've put a lot of work into it
# 02:06 bnvk anywho, good night gentle dudes, it's 2 AM here in Iceland, góða nótt ;)

# 15:46 Loqi KartikPrabhu: tantek left you a message 3 hours, 24 minutes ago: I mean, yes, linking # hashtags to *something* makes sense, it's just there's no one consistent UI/UX for this (that I know of). Add proposals to: http://indiewebcamp.com/hashtag
# 15:46 Loqi KartikPrabhu: barnabywalters left you a message 16 minutes ago: pretty sure both are my fault as your markup looks fine — double mention might even be an index locking problem on my side. Not sure what’s going on with author markup but yours looks good — could be improved with url property though :)
# 15:47 dangillmor Good to be here...
# 15:54 kylewm morning KartikPrabhu, fyi I'm working on value-class-pattern parsing for datetimes
# 15:55 kylewm my first pass at just naively joining them together was not great :)
# 15:55 KartikPrabhu kylewm: morning! sounds great. I made some changes in the past week to mf2py just so you know
# 15:55 kylewm oh great, thank you, I will pull from upstream
# 15:59 tommorris Basically I wanted a place to put all the stuff I’d chucked into Foursquare.
# 16:00 aaronpk I was thinking about doing places entirely with tags, so there's no hierarchy just a bunch of tags
# 16:00 tommorris aaronpk: yeah. I ended up deciding to build my own. countries (which use domain name suffixes), then ‘areas’ which are nested. it’s done solely on the basis of my own need.
# 16:00 aaronpk like your place "1" would be tagged "uk" and "london"
# 16:01 tommorris so, I may rearrange the hierarchy whenever I feel like it. ;)
# 16:01 tommorris but equivalences will be declared with Wikipedia, Wikidata and OSM.

# 16:33 tantek aaronpk, looks like Loqi is pruning youtube URLs from tweets ^^^ (original tweet has completely link)

# 16:34 bnvk tantek: yep, sorry, GD so hatable! Was saying indieappstore.com is taken, but .net, .org, .info, .us are available- thoughts? :)
# 16:34 Loqi bnvk: tantek left you a message 6 minutes ago: godaddy JS crap app fail. no results.
# 16:35 tantek I'd say better to spend time clarifying thoughts first (e.g. on the wiki) - there will be plenty of domains to choose from once you have a solid idea what you would use it for.
# 16:35 aaronpk tantek: it's a problem with following the redirect. i think youtube is sending a different URL back for the loqi user agent
# 16:37 bnvk tantek: I have what I think is a solid idea (baring explaining client / server qualm you have) as outlined in the wiki, I guess you disagree
# 16:37 tantek if you can't explain the UX simply, then I don't think you have a solid idea. just my opinion.
# 16:39 tantek haha just went there barnabywalters right before you did that move :)
# 16:39 bnvk tantek: see"Store Development Stages"
# 16:41 bnvk my thinking is cloning the Prism Break repo, styling it up a lil bit differently then adding it to whatever domain is chosen which will make the http://indiewebcamp.com/Projects type thing a bit more user friendly for the IW curious user
# 16:41 bnvk of course, a lot of the projects are not super easy to install yet, but it will lay a foundation for that sort of experience people are used to
# 16:42 tantek bnvk - none of the projects are super easy to install yet
# 16:42 tantek so I'm not sure there's anything to lay a foundation for
# 16:42 tantek nor any experience to draw from about what such an experience should be like
# 16:44 bnvk the foundation of the user flow of getting involved with indie web and installing an IW app- so in 3, 6, 9 months when one or more projects are easy to get working, the UX of choosing and quickly browsing will be handled to some degree
cweiske joined the channel
# 16:44 bnvk of course, this will be iterated on along the way
# 16:45 tantek To be clear, if you think that's the next highest priority for you personally, e.g. for making it easier to (un)install on your own personal site, then go for it.
# 16:46 tantek and it's really at just the "installation" phase of figuring stuff out now
# 16:46 barnabywalters actually out of all of us bnvk has more projects ready (ish) for widespread use, in Mailpile and SocialIgniter
# 16:48 tantek barnabywalters - I'd challenge that assertion. I don't believe any project is "ready(ish)" for widespread use until you've got at least a few alpha/beta users that can confirm as much.
# 16:49 bnvk tantek: cool, my thinking is there are also other projects like OwnCloud that can be added as well
# 16:49 bnvk Many of these not technically IW in that they don't have micro formats as part of their structure, but this move could be an olive branch to those communities / projects
# 16:49 tantek bnvk - it's not about microformats - it's about whether or not the project creators / developers actually selfdogfood their own projects on their own domains
# 16:50 tantek without that - I hate to say it - but the projects are *ignorable* - because they will eventually die
# 16:50 bnvk tantek: hangin with the ownCloud devs in Berlin, close to 100% of them self dog food
# 16:52 tantek basically I'm saying that unless you can take the few minutes to document with specific names and URLs, I'm not going to believe you
# 16:52 bnvk uh... just because they haven't seen the value in adding themselves to our wiki != your assumptions are correct
# 16:52 bnvk that feels like a waste of time to me
# 16:52 tantek but if *no one* wants to bother to add them, then yes, why bother
# 16:52 tantek bnvk - it's a good way to filter out projects that won't last
# 16:53 tantek if no one involved with them, or who has heard of them, can't be bothered to add a few lines of text
# 16:54 bnvk attending their hackathon and seeing 60+self dog fooding devs, as well as the 98 daily who are in #owncloud-dev, as well large German universities using it for their students was enough verification for me
# 16:54 tantek numerous projects over the years have held big hackathons, and then died
npdoty joined the channel
# 16:55 bnvk that still doesn't make them any less relevant
# 16:55 tantek that's the whole point of "proof of work" style challenges
# 16:56 tantek if something/someone isn't able to step up to the challenge, then yes, it DOES make them less relevant / worth spending time on
# 16:56 tantek especially when the challenge is so small like add a few lines of text
skinny joined the channel
# 17:02 tantek bnvk - examples: whatever happened to Locker Project? or Unhosted?
# 17:03 bnvk tantek: yes, Locker was a said case of not figuring out how to sustain itself, then selling out. Jeremy used to dog food ;)
chrisroos joined the channel
# 17:03 tantek bnvk - never saw any URL evidence of selfdogfooding of Locker Project.
# 17:04 bnvk the evidence I saw was Jeremy had his personal social data backed up to a USB key he had stored on his bracelet
# 17:05 barnabywalters another example, sadly, is OpenPhoto — it’s tricky to figure out exactly what’s happened to it since it became Trovebox
# 17:05 bnvk I believe he didn't have a personal website with a public URL as he was envisioning as a way to backup personal data in one place
# 17:05 tantek non-web projects are fine, they're just not "indieweb"
# 17:05 tantek did the openphoto pages get moved accordingly?
# 17:06 barnabywalters on the wiki? I don’t think anyone noticed/cared enough to do that bit of maintentance
chrisroo_ joined the channel
# 17:13 tantek wow there never was an "openphoto" page created!
# 17:14 tantek guess people really didn't care much about that project
chrisroos joined the channel
# 17:19 bnvk tantek: a lot of privacy minded people might not want to list URL's publicly to sites that contain their personal data, not sure how that real world concern fits into your rubric
# 17:19 tantek bnvk, based on experience I'm skeptical of those that don't show their work, it's that simple.
# 17:19 barnabywalters bnvk: I made some changes to indiewebify me (reply/like/repost validation, datetime error detection, improved content display) — can you deploy? changes require a composer update
# 17:20 tantek at the Federated Social Web Summit, some of the biggest talkers were "privacy minded people"
# 17:20 bnvk barnabywalters: yah, I'll do that now
# 17:20 tantek LOTS of handwaving - very little actual work / shipping
# 17:21 tantek bnvk - do any of those privacy minded people use Twitter to post public tweets?
# 17:21 bnvk in some cases you're definitely right
# 17:21 bnvk yes, some of these people absolutely do
# 17:21 tantek let me guess - they discuss things on a mailing list too?

# 20:09 tantek e.g. I am here (latlong), what to-dos do I have nearby?
# 20:10 aaronpk ah yeah. in this case I have a specific use case for the list, the goal is to go to all the places so I will likely be picking a place ahead of time.
# 20:12 tantek then it seems like the "checking off" could be completely passive - just watch your checkins stream, query your store for to-do's, and check them off automatically.

# 20:16 tommorris Now making a list of all the bars and restaurants I need to review on my site.
# 20:16 aaronpk tommorris: so are you actually publishing reviews?
# 20:17 aaronpk or are these "place" records that you may create checkin posts that reference later?
# 20:21 kylewm you have interesting movie taste, snarfed. what does it mean if a movie has more than 1 marker?
# 20:22 snarfed yeah, good question. it means i both liked it and didn't like it
# 20:22 snarfed or like e.g. requiem for a dream, it was clearly a great movie, but so harsh or intense i couldn't take it
# 20:23 tantek just figured out that gtalk: URLs fail in iOS7
# 20:24 kylewm I want to watch all the movies that have all three good/bad/indifferents :)
# 20:24 tantek or rather, the Google Hangouts app fails to register itself as handling gtalk: URLs
# 20:27 tantek also FB Messenger app fails to register as handling fb: URLs
# 20:28 snarfed tantek: clearly you have no choice but to switch to android
# 20:28 tantek whereas even the AIM iOS app registers to handle aim: URLs
# 20:28 tantek snarfed - hehe - these are links for OTHER PEOPLE to click on
# 20:28 tantek so I'm just going to hide what doesn't work on iOS, when iOS users visit
# 20:28 snarfed clearly they have no choice but to switch to android :P
# 20:28 tantek and similar for Android users I will hide SMS / Facetime icons
# 20:28 tommorris aaronpk: they are sort of half way between reviews and checkins. really just “these places are interesting”.
# 20:28 snarfed well, or pop up an alert, so they at least know they *can* use those methods
# 20:29 tantek oh, because "pop up an alert" is such a nice user experience :P
# 20:29 tantek people are happier not knowing what options don't work for them
# 20:30 tommorris iOS really needs to steal web intents from android. it’s one thing android has gotten right that iOS is failing at.
# 20:30 snarfed tantek: those options work fine, they just have to open the apps manually
# 20:30 Loqi aaronpk meant to say: iOS already has some of intents
# 20:30 snarfed btw, sms: or smsto: don't work on android? i think they should
# 20:30 tantek hahaha you're all calling it "web intents" when "web intents" are the thing that died
# 20:31 tantek that's "web intents" for you. long on evangelism. short on actual UX / just-make-it-work
# 20:31 tantek awesome, web intents are apparently a good way to wake up hober
# 20:32 tantek snarfed, sms: does not work on android to txt iMessage/AppleID addresses
# 20:32 snarfed tantek: ah, sure. so you can use a phone number, just not an imessage address
# 20:32 tommorris tantek: on the “sort of” front - I’m not sure what the ‘places’ thing on my site will become. It’s reviews+foursquare tips but with some genuine tommorris™ snark added.
# 20:33 snarfed i wonder if there's a third party imessage app on android
# 20:33 caseorganic dangillmor: 70 min - that's a short time period. I'm doing employee reviews today so I won't be able to finish the diagram in time. Definitely in time for the Knight Grant, though!
# 20:33 tantek tommorris, but you repeat yourself: "on my site" and "with some genuine tommorris™ snark added"
# 20:34 tantek tommorris sounds like "venue" pages, which then have a collection of h-reviews on them
# 20:34 aaronpk it's made by some chinese company that has to run servers to "help" with the connection, so...sure..
# 20:35 tommorris Android iMessage implementation: sends it using iMessage via Mechanical Turk.
# 20:35 tommorris I mean, the NSA are reading it anyway. May as well have some dude in India read it for a tenth of a cent too.

# 23:40 pauloppenheim tantek: right, i mean the OS UX when you try to open a file of an unknown content type
# 23:40 pauloppenheim tantek: or even known content type with multiple providers and no default
# 23:41 tantek Whereas with URL schemes you get a cryptic jargon error
# 23:41 pauloppenheim tantek: the "open with" pattern that most OSes now use is a good workaround, but Android's no-default-intent-handler popup might be a better hack
# 23:42 bear it's not fun at all when the instructions are all about "open your browser config… make 3 entries… open your OS registry…"
# 23:42 tantek Bear I agree, all with http until browsers figure out a better ux for handling unknown schemes
# 23:42 pauloppenheim Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (asdf) isn't associated with any program.
# 23:44 bear at least with Firefox on OSX I get a dialog to open iChat for xmpp:// - on chrome it just does a google search :/
# 23:44 pauloppenheim which of course is better than just opening gedit like gnome-shell / nautilus does...
# 23:50 bret you know whats even more anoying? when safari opens mail.app when you accidentally click on a feed link
