why use web mentions over http referers?

#
pauloppenheim
nslater: i have been wondering that as well, but i suppose a simple answer is "intention"
#
tantek
I thought so too, but the SO answer is decent too
#
nslater
i wonder why that matters and why it's worth the complexity tradeoff
#
tantek
which is that HTTP referrers will happen A LOT
#
tantek
and cause extra processing
#
tantek
if used for this
#
tantek
whereas a webmention has more specific semantics
#
tantek
first time you get one it's like a "Create"
#
tantek
and second/further times it's an Update (or possibly Delete)
#
aaronpk
you could always make an http referer -> webmention bridge and see what happens :)
#
aaronpk
or just start parsing your referers and displaying them as comments if you find a post
#
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

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
#
pauloppenheim
kinda becomes a crawler
#
aaronpk
kylewm: no
#
pauloppenheim
kylewm: no
#
aaronpk
it's sent by the browser
#
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)

pauloppenheim
ahh, right
#
tantek
kylewm - does this help? http://indiewebcamp.com/CRUD
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: privacy-minded individuals may disable sending referrers
#
nslater
pauloppenheim: all you need is a single referer
#
nslater
google bot is likely to provide that
#
nslater
number of referers could even be used as a metric to gauge importance
#
nslater
(number of occurrences of each url, i mean)
#
pauloppenheim
I'm unsure if bots send referrer
#
nslater
wrt spammers, trackbacks get spam. sure other protocols do too
#
tantek
nslater, relative amounts matter
#
tantek
not just if or not
#
pauloppenheim
but yeah, the referrer spam problem means that if you use it, you need to tool it
#
nslater
nods
#
nslater
though this seems like a game of cat and mouse
#
nslater
if you choose one protocol over another based on that, and then it gets popular, ... uh oh :)
#
nslater
would make even less sense to advocate based on that justification
scor joined the channel
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: one other nice thing about webmentions is that your webmention processor can be any URL
#
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
#
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.
#
KartikPrabhu
bear: sorry I missed your question, but you seemed to have found that it works! :D
#
tantek
nslater - ok catching up to NewBase60 :)

bear
KartikPrabhu - yes :)
#
tantek
re: Flickr, yes, saw that, and cited it in my work on Whistle in particular: http://tantek.com/w/Whistle
#
tantek
so, problem, Flickr does not follow ASCII ordering
#
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
#
tantek
or rather base58
#
tantek
does not follow ASCII ordering
paulcp joined the channel
#
nslater
tantek: ah, yep. i saw you cited them, but was wondering what the deficiencies were
JasonO joined the channel
#
tantek
nslater, the reasons to use webmention are well documented: http://indiewebcamp.com/webmention#Why
#
tantek
note that spam is not mentioned
#

"makes no sense to sell a less popular system for its low level of spam" is a strawman argument - no one is doing htat

ricmac joined the channel
#
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
#
tantek
so you can figure that out by searching for why pingback instead of HTTP referers
#
tantek
a > b > c. transitive. QED.
#
nslater
assuming i agree with whatever i find :)
#
pauloppenheim
tantek: assuming all sets of arguments adhere to logic
#
tantek
both are reasonable bayesian assumptions :D
#
nslater
i didnt understand why pingbacks were used either

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?"
#
nslater
pauloppenheim: hmm
#
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!

nslater
agreed

tantek
there's nothing saying that webmention (or use thereof) can't be simplified further. someone just hasn't done it yet. ;)

tantek
bear, your questions aren't really about feed files
#
bear
yes, I'm realizing that as I go back and re-read
#
bear
I was just in the process of removing it

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

I've just realized that I need to implement feed in order to grok why I am uncomfortable with it

tantek
bear, feel free to add questions about "how to" to http://indiewebcamp.com/h-entry

tantek
with specific examples of posts (permalinks) you want to markup with such special features
#

nods
#
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
#
tantek
which lends more credibility to your questions (beyond being theoretical or possibly based on dated assumptions / use-cases)
#
bear
I am going to gather some real world examples of past feeds that i've had to implement using atom and rss
#
tantek
nslater - yes, I tend to agree with that - for long URLs
#
nslater
right

i read the URI spec one day, and was surprised to learn that everything after the third "/" is just binary data

could be anything you like. completely not specified. could be the binary for a png for all the spec cares

Yesterday I tried again to find a good use for "URI" (vs "URL") and found a new reason for just "URL". #nerdproblems (ttk.me t4V12)

what is a good way to reply to a note that also has a syndication version?

But then I'll have replied to 2 versions of the same thing...

KartikPrabhu - oh there's an answer, and a few of us are doing it

#
bnvk
tantek: i'm super excited about exploring this aspect of IndieWeb, and making it easy to install different apps on different platforms :)
#
tantek
also the question of install *where*
#
tantek
app stores are typically for the *client*
#
tantek
whereas it looks like you're thinking installing on the *server* (e.g. prismbreak etc.)
#
bnvk
right, I need to write more, but its getting late here and wanted to push up something
#
tantek
so you might want to distinguish those
#
kylewm
tantek, so is the burden on the receiver to de-duplicate those replies? (remove comments where comment->permalink == comment->source->rel-syndication)
#
tantek
because otherwise it's apples and oranges
#
tantek
VERY different install / setup requirements
#
bnvk
definitely
#
tantek
kylewm - yes - see /webmention page for de-duplicating advice
#
tantek
bnvk - the FirefoxOS app store uses open formats & protocols for this already too
#
tantek
so there's already open prior art to "just use"
#
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
#
tantek
rather than documenting needs for a new format etc.
#
tantek
bnvk - so you're talking *server* app store
#
tantek
so that's very different
#
tantek
but you're using "examples" of *client* app stores to try to inform your design
#
tantek
you may have an impedance mismatch there
#
bnvk
well, server, is a lose term, a raspberry pi at home or a laptop... not much difference
#
tantek
might be more confusing than helpful
#
tantek
it's not a "loose term"
#
tantek
because it's in terms of user functionality
CheckDavid joined the channel
#
bnvk
mac desktops also have an app store
#
tantek
doing something for the user (client), vs. serving stuff across the internet to others (including the user) (server)
#
tantek
bnvk - yes, that's also client
#
bnvk
it's almost identical to the mobile one
#
tantek
so you need to split this into client vs. server sections on Store
#
bnvk
what do you mean by client then?
#
tantek
otherwise it's going to be VERY confusing
#
tantek
bnvk - all the existing stores you mentioned are ALL client
#
tantek
iOS, android, macos
#
tantek
whereas your brainstorming for Arkos indiebox etc. are all *server*
#
bnvk
by client do you mean "computer where software is installed" ?
#
tantek
where comparable examples would be things like Cpanel
#
tantek
bnvk see above about function focus
#
tantek
doing something for the user (client), vs. serving stuff across the internet (or an intranet) to others (server)
#
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
#
tantek
bingo
#
bnvk
but then using this on your laptop would be called "client" ?
#
tantek
right, you *use* your laptop as a client
#
tantek
and you *use* the pi as a server
#
bnvk
mmm, I could also use my laptop as a server ;)
#
tantek
"could also use" is theoretical line of thinking - not useful sorry
#
tantek
or rather, adds noise to the discussion,
#
bnvk
I like thinking all of my devices as equal citizens on the net
#
tantek
that's a mistake
#
tantek
from a user-centric perspective, it's also a false perspective
#
tantek
from a security perspective, it's a false perspective
#
tantek
from a "how reliably are they connected to the net" perspective, it's also false
#
bnvk
I don't quite follow what "false perspective" means, unless it's just a nice way of saying "you're wrong"
#
tantek
provably wrong ;)
#
bnvk
my thinking is, most user's don't understand client and server
#
tantek
bnvk - no they understand client
#
tantek
they don't understand server
#
bnvk
really?
#
tantek
users don't typically manage servers
#
tantek
nor install software on them etc.
#
bnvk
a lot of users don't understand "web browser"
#
bnvk
they understand this device, that device, or "somewhere on the intenet"
#
tantek
not compared to server
#
tantek
bnvk - I reject "a lot of users don't understand "web browser" "
#
tantek
users install web browsers all the time
#
tantek
and you're falling into the "everyone" trap by saying "a lot of users"
#
bnvk
so because they install software, they understand what "type" of software it is?
#
bnvk
and how that functions in a greater eco system?
#
tantek
and security assumptions etc.
#
tantek
they understand what type of device it is
#
bnvk
tantek: what security assumptions are issues when considering a Pi or a laptop equal citizens?

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.
#
bnvk
cheers, I'll be refining it more tomorrow and this week
#
bnvk
pauloppenheim: what do you see the main obstruction to laptops being servers? The IP4 issue?
#
pauloppenheim
they are regularly disconnected from the internet
#
bnvk
ok, what about home PCs?
#
pauloppenheim
bnvk: i do not know your technical background, so i do not know how seriously to take your inquiry
#
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
#
nslater
of course, home laptops could be servers in the federate web
#
nslater
but we'd need some clever arch to make that happen
#
pauloppenheim
bnvk: what happened when you ran servers from your home PCs?
#
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)
#
nslater
one of the things im interested in adding to couchdb is bittorrent sync protocol
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: but that does not exist today for the media currently under discussion
#
bnvk
pauloppenheim: what do you mean what happened?
#
pauloppenheim
you can easily transmit immutable media that way today using bittorrent, yes.
#
nslater
pauloppenheim: it does actually. you can do it with couchdb. though you'll hit a snag with addressing
#
pauloppenheim
bnvk: can I access an URL that you were hosting on that machine in the time period you speak of?
#
bnvk
no, that was a 133 MHz pentium 1 that sadly has gone to the great silicon pile in the sky
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: i think that addressing snag is more than a snag
#
bnvk
but you can access this on my Air pauloppenheim: right now http://django.bnvk.me
#
nslater
pauloppenheim: oh?
#
nslater
pauloppenheim: bittorrent uses trackers for this, of course. why not trackers for the web
#
pauloppenheim
bnvk: ping: unknown host http://django.bnvk.me
#
nslater
magnet links instead of URLs for your website :)
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: i would love to see trackers for the web
#
bnvk
pauloppenheim: rly?
#
pauloppenheim
bnvk: i think you are proving my point
#
bnvk
whre are you ?
#
nslater
i see "Yo Dawg, I am a webserver coming from a Macbook Air using Pagekite"
#
bnvk
that's what you should be seeing
#
pauloppenheim
now it's working
#
bnvk
yah, I just turned on the daemon
#
bnvk
this is coming from Pi next to me http://moondog.bnvk.me
#
bret
works
#
bret
neat!
#
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
#
bnvk
once IP6 rolls out more stuff like this will be much easier to do
#
KevinMarks
but still intermittent
#
bret
i have ipv6 at my house... sadly not a router that can support it
paulcp joined the channel
#
bnvk
right, that is "typical" assumed characteristic of a website
#
KevinMarks
this is where the "static with enhancements" idea works, IMO
#
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
#
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
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: round-robin dns and load balancing work fine today
#
nslater
pauloppenheim: not so well for an indie federated web where your data is on your friends laptops, though
#
pauloppenheim
bnvk: i would not assume that opinion generalizes, especially to laptops
#
nslater
yes, if you're balancing across a known pool of servers
#
bnvk
pauloppenheim: yes, that's why a lot of people like the raspberry pi idea
#
pauloppenheim
don't get me wrong guys, i agree this would be nice
#
pauloppenheim
but it does not work today
#
bnvk
would be nice, let's friggin build towards it

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
#
bnvk
personally, I'd like to not have to pay hosting companies when I can leave a small machine on at home
#
pauloppenheim
i'm not a spokesperson for this community, but it feels like that is another project, not the indieweb
#
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

pauloppenheim
bnvk: you can leave a machine on at home if you want to, that does work today

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 ;)
#
nslater
nice!
#
pauloppenheim
well, portfolio
#
bnvk
hehe
#
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"
#
nslater
i quite like the idea of only having your website available when your computer is running
#
nslater
it's counter-culture in a pleasing way
#
bnvk
lol, friggin interviewers
#
nslater
probably wouldn't do it myself though. perhaps better left as an idea ;)
#
pauloppenheim
nslater: go for it
#
bnvk
nslater: yes, it's kinda punk
#
nslater
having a website that only works when a raspi is on makes total sense though
#
nslater
assuming the website is related to the functioning of the raspi
#
bnvk
and in an indieweb "having conversations with my friends via our personal sites" I think it fits decently
#
nslater
will have to look at http://maidsafe.net/ later

wagle, I have a heroku app that sends me like 3 emails a month and it's definitely free... but I have no idea if you could wire up bugzilla to talk to an external service for mail. might be easier to just configure it to send through an outside smtp
#
kylewm
sorry to not be more helpful
#
wagle
the bugzilla test case sent one email to a home mail sever, but the latter doesnt know how to email to the world
#
wagle
no, heroku looks interesting, it might do it

can i borrow your markov chain to project what I will know by tomorrow about email and heroku?

always better to have something and then iterate
#
kylewm
oh great, thank you, I will pull from upstream

sequential numbers?

there's a review there too?

Yep, will be marking up geo and h-review

The difficult bit was building some geo-hierarchy
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: nice work!

#
kylewm
KartikPrabhu, do you know if your changes (from the last week or so) will pull out the u-url from http://tantek.com/2014/030/t1/handmade-art-indieweb-reply-webmention-want ?
#
aaronpk
oboy hierarchy stuff gets complicated fast
#
aaronpk
I was thinking about doing places entirely with tags, so there's no hierarchy just a bunch of tags
#
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.
#
aaronpk
like your place "1" would be tagged "uk" and "london"
#
tommorris
so, I may rearrange the hierarchy whenever I feel like it. ;)
#
tommorris
but equivalences will be declared with Wikipedia, Wikidata and OSM.

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.
#
aaronpk
tantek: it's a problem with following the redirect. i think youtube is sending a different URL back for the loqi user agent
#
tantek
which redirect? t.co?
#
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
#
tantek
if you can't explain the UX simply, then I don't think you have a solid idea. just my opinion.
#
tantek
takes another look at the wiki
#
bnvk
explain the UX?

edited /store (+5) "/* App Information */ copy edit, this ‘aint github edit"
(view diff)
#
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
#
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
#
tantek
bnvk - none of the projects are super easy to install yet
#
tantek
so I'm not sure there's anything to lay a foundation for
#
tantek
nor any experience to draw from about what such an experience should be like
#
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
#
bnvk
of course, this will be iterated on along the way
#
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.
#
tantek
you might want to first look at who's actually making progress on this front, e.g. http://indiewebcamp.com/sovereign
#
tantek
and it's really at just the "installation" phase of figuring stuff out now
#
barnabywalters
actually out of all of us bnvk has more projects ready (ish) for widespread use, in Mailpile and SocialIgniter
#
tantek
store = installation + payment
#
Loqi
woot
#
bnvk
yayay, way to go IDNO
#
tantek
go Idno go!
#
barnabywalters
everyone go “applaud” that submission
#
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.
#
tantek
bnvk - is anyone else using Social Igniter on their own domain? add them! http://indiewebcamp.com/projects#Social_Igniter
#
barnabywalters
tantek: AFAIK Mailpile has a number of alpha users
#
bnvk
tantek: cool, my thinking is there are also other projects like OwnCloud that can be added as well
#
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
#
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
#
tantek
without that - I hate to say it - but the projects are *ignorable* - because they will eventually die
#
tantek
very poor investment of time
#
tantek
and if the project creators / developers actually selfdogfood, then document them in the wiki: http://indiewebcamp.com/projects
#
bnvk
tantek: hangin with the ownCloud devs in Berlin, close to 100% of them self dog food
#
bnvk
I use it daily
#
tantek
then add them and their personal domains which are running it to this: http://indiewebcamp.com/projects#ownCloud
#
tantek
so far there are zero devs on it there
#
tantek
(devs on the project itself)
#
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
#
bnvk
uh... just because they haven't seen the value in adding themselves to our wiki != your assumptions are correct
#
tantek
*you* can add them to the wiki
#
bnvk
that feels like a waste of time to me
#
tantek
but if *no one* wants to bother to add them, then yes, why bother
#
tantek
bnvk - it's a good way to filter out projects that won't last
#
tantek
if no one involved with them, or who has heard of them, can't be bothered to add a few lines of text
#
tantek
it's a "proof of work" protocol :P
#
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
#
tantek
flash in the pan
#
bnvk
meh, whatever
#
tantek
numerous projects over the years have held big hackathons, and then died
#
tantek
or worse, they turn into monocultures
#
bnvk
sure

and yes, I did ask Jeremy directly for it
#
tantek
barnabywalters - lowercase works too: #redirect:[[ownCloud]] - and easier to type
#
bnvk
the evidence I saw was Jeremy had his personal social data backed up to a USB key he had stored on his bracelet
#
tantek
but his own website didn't seem to use it
#
tantek
there wasn't anything "web" about it
#
barnabywalters
another example, sadly, is OpenPhoto — it’s tricky to figure out exactly what’s happened to it since it became Trovebox
#
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
#
tantek
non-web projects are fine, they're just not "indieweb"
#
barnabywalters
and my installation is still broken :(
#
tantek
barnabywalters - yeah
#
tantek
did the openphoto pages get moved accordingly?
#
barnabywalters
on the wiki? I don’t think anyone noticed/cared enough to do that bit of maintentance

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
#
tantek
bnvk, based on experience I'm skeptical of those that don't show their work, it's that simple.
#
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
#
tantek
at the Federated Social Web Summit, some of the biggest talkers were "privacy minded people"
#
tantek
and the sessions about privacy / security
#
bnvk
barnabywalters: yah, I'll do that now
#
barnabywalters
bnvk: thanks!
#
tantek
LOTS of handwaving - very little actual work / shipping
#
tantek
bnvk - do any of those privacy minded people use Twitter to post public tweets?
#
bnvk
in some cases you're definitely right
#
bnvk
yes, some of these people absolutely do
#
tantek
let me guess - they discuss things on a mailing list too?
#
bnvk
mmm, can't confirm or deny that

how's ramp up at the new job?

It works quite well, the C++ they use isn't very complicated so I haven't had problems yet. The most I have to learn is how to use cmake and emacs (I had to pic some editor for Linux and vi didn't really work for me)

they want to use Tizen in IVI (in vihicle infotainment) devices too, I always thought it was "just" a mobile phone OS.

I want to publish a "todo list" of places to go, then check them off when I check in to places

aaronpk - I'd be more interested in the query/notification half of that
#
tantek
e.g. I am here (latlong), what to-dos do I have nearby?

tantek
geonotes style
#
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.
#
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.
#
tantek
no need to even publish your to-dos

Just published another ‘palce’: http://tommorris.org/places/2
#

‘place’ rather ;)
#
tommorris
Now making a list of all the bars and restaurants I need to review on my site.
#
aaronpk
tommorris: so are you actually publishing reviews?
#
aaronpk
or are these "place" records that you may create checkin posts that reference later?
#
snarfed
huh, right. indie reviews. i should think about adding similar markup to e.g. https://snarfed.org/movies , https://snarfed.org/beer , https://snarfed.org/restaurants , etc
#
aaronpk
whoa neat
#
kylewm
you have interesting movie taste, snarfed. what does it mean if a movie has more than 1 marker?
#
snarfed
yeah, good question. it means i both liked it and didn't like it
#
snarfed
good parts and bad parts, etc
#
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
#
snarfed
other lists: https://snarfed.org/lists . gotta love data nerdery.
#
tantek
just figured out that gtalk: URLs fail in iOS7
#
kylewm
I want to watch all the movies that have all three good/bad/indifferents :)
#
tantek
or rather, the Google Hangouts app fails to register itself as handling gtalk: URLs
#
snarfed
kylewm: lol. maybe two or three total?
#
snarfed
tantek: yup, that
#
tantek
skype has no such trouble with skype: URLs
#
tantek
also FB Messenger app fails to register as handling fb: URLs
#
tantek
also on iOS
#
snarfed
tantek: clearly you have no choice but to switch to android
#
tantek
whereas even the AIM iOS app registers to handle aim: URLs
#
tantek
snarfed - hehe - these are links for OTHER PEOPLE to click on
#
tantek
so I'm just going to hide what doesn't work on iOS, when iOS users visit
#
snarfed
clearly they have no choice but to switch to android :P
#
tantek
and similar for Android users I will hide SMS / Facetime icons
#
tommorris
aaronpk: they are sort of half way between reviews and checkins. really just “these places are interesting”.
#
snarfed
well, or pop up an alert, so they at least know they *can* use those methods
#
tantek
oh, because "pop up an alert" is such a nice user experience :P
#
tantek
people are happier not knowing what options don't work for them
#
tommorris
iOS really needs to steal web intents from android. it’s one thing android has gotten right that iOS is failing at.
#
tantek
tommorris - sort of?
#
snarfed
tantek: those options work fine, they just have to open the apps manually
#
aaronpk
iOS already has some of web intents
#
tantek
tommorris - you mean just "intents"
#
tantek
or "android intents"
#
Loqi
aaronpk meant to say: iOS already has some of intents
#
snarfed
btw, sms: or smsto: don't work on android? i think they should
#
tantek
hahaha you're all calling it "web intents" when "web intents" are the thing that died
#
Loqi
hahaha
#
tommorris
heh. brainfucked.
#
hober
intents is awful api
#
tantek
that's "web intents" for you. long on evangelism. short on actual UX / just-make-it-work
#
hober
way too abstract
#
tantek
awesome, web intents are apparently a good way to wake up hober
#
tantek
maybe we should call them hober intents :D
#
hober
nooooooooooooooo
#
tantek
I suppose that should have been a >:)
#
tantek
snarfed, sms: does not work on android to txt iMessage/AppleID addresses
#
tantek
now has a test page up for various links
#
snarfed
tantek: ah, sure. so you can use a phone number, just not an imessage address
#
tantek
who wants to help test?
#
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.
#
snarfed
i wonder if there's a third party imessage app on android
#
aaronpk
snarfed: there is, but that's super sketchy
#
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!
#
tantek
tommorris, but you repeat yourself: "on my site" and "with some genuine tommorris™ snark added"
#
snarfed
aaronpk: super sketchy or nothing, i guess
#
tantek
tommorris sounds like "venue" pages, which then have a collection of h-reviews on them
#
aaronpk
it's made by some chinese company that has to run servers to "help" with the connection, so...sure..
#
tommorris
notes that he has ‘We the Media’ on his bookshelf.

KevinMarks do you have the AIM app installed?
#
tantek
on iOS?
#
KevinMarks
the txt message link did on android/chrome
#
tantek
did what?
#
KevinMarks
it opened hangouts (which is sms too now)
#
tantek
did Skype ask you to confirm before making the call or did it just do it?
#
KevinMarks
it sent an mms to your email
#
KevinMarks
no, did not confirm
#
tantek
whoa.
#
tantek
FaceTime does prompt to confirm
#
tantek
interesting
#
KevinMarks

google talk is in a weird state
#

tantek: gtalk can message aim users though!
#
tantek
Bret which gtalk app?
#
tantek
Certainly not Hangouts app
#
tantek
It can't handle gtalk: urls

#

Ah, the "ben hasn't been in the channel for ages" dance.
#
benwerd
Huge thanks for everyone's support on the News Challenge post btw. Really very much appreciated. All an attempt to work on this stuff full-time!
#
tantek
benwerd - yay!
#
benwerd
tantek - I hope you had wonderful birthday celebrations last week, too. Sorry I was not able to participate.
#
benwerd
(Did you get my birthday webmention?)
#
tantek
benwerd - thanks! Figured you had other obligations.
#
tantek
still doesn't have a good UI for checking his webmentions in general :/

#

Yeah, I *still* haven't figured out notifications
#

I've been working on web notifications for $dayjob, and they work *so* well on Firefox for Android
#
benwerd
the combination of server-sent events and web notifications is killer
#
tantek
anyone have the AIM app installed on iOS or Android?!?
#
tantek
DanGillmor ?
#
bret
aim is so oldschool!

#
tantek
dangillmor do you have the AIM app installed on your Android?
#
bret
the aim link on your site is 'invalid' on iOS
benprew joined the channel
#
tantek
bret - yeah - without the app installed - that's what iOS does
#
tantek
for any unknown protocols
#
tantek
it's kind of crap UX on the part of Apple
#
dangillmor
Not on my phone. I generally do IRC only on my laptop.
#
tantek
dangillmor *AIM*
#
tantek
not IRC
#
bret
i can install it
#
tantek
bret - cool
#
dangillmor
tantek: duh. still no.
#
tantek
so you don't do AIM from your phone then. interesting.
#
bret
i can aim from my phone, but it goes through irc XD
#
pauloppenheim
tantek: does anyone use the official AIM client?
#
pauloppenheim
i haven't seen it for *years*
#
tantek
pauloppenheim - only on iOS
#
tantek
on mac I use Adium
#
tantek
bret - but your irc client doesn't handle "aim:" URLs right?
#
tantek
otherwise you wouldn't get that error
#
benwerd
Interesting. I'm Hangout / Facebook only on Android. Actually hadn't considered other IM clients.
#
bret
tantek: nope ;(
#
bret
WhatsCrap

#
bret
i have to make an account
#
bret
one sec
#
pauloppenheim
did you hear that one joke, how many hackers does it take to make an AIM account?
#
bret
how many?
#
pauloppenheim
count(#indiewebcamp)
#
pauloppenheim
or rather, just one, but 93 others to lurk on it, i guess
#
dangillmor
tantek: i've installed TextSecure for mobile messaging.
#
tantek
sweet
#
bret
tantek: did you get that?
#
tantek
indeed! from what device was that
#
bret
iphone
#
tantek
/ browser
#
bret
safari

#
tantek
ok so at least that works

The poor ux / handling of unknown / unregistered URL schemes is making me wonder if instead every comm service should simply support a web UI that you can directly link to
#
tantek
To a link to start a message/call with a specific person
#
bear
we are exploring that to get xmpp presence out to the web so folks don't have to grok what xmpp:// is
#
tantek
bear: The problem is that browsers do a horrible job with new schemes
#
pauloppenheim
tantek: there's a general content-type handling problem on most OSes
#
bear
yep - that's why we are going to make them active buttons
#
tantek
What apps handle xmpp: on what OSes?
#
bear
and have it all done via http
#
tantek
pauloppenheim: Not true
#
tantek
Content-type handling is done quite well
#
tantek
The fallback is you get a file download
#
pauloppenheim
tantek: right, i mean the OS UX when you try to open a file of an unknown content type
#
pauloppenheim
tantek: or even known content type with multiple providers and no default
#
tantek
Whereas with URL schemes you get a cryptic jargon error
#
tantek
Even on iOS
#
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
#
pauloppenheim
tantek: it's not too bad on firefox
#
bear
it's not fun at all when the instructions are all about "open your browser config… make 3 entries… open your OS registry…"
#
tantek
Bear I agree, all with http until browsers figure out a better ux for handling unknown schemes
#
pauloppenheim
"The address wasn't understood
#
pauloppenheim
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (asdf) isn't associated with any program.
#
pauloppenheim
You might need to install other software to open this address."
#
bear
at least with Firefox on OSX I get a dialog to open iChat for xmpp:// - on chrome it just does a google search :/
#
pauloppenheim
which of course is better than just opening gedit like gnome-shell / nautilus does...
#
bear
nods and cries

bear
