GWG - went great. Both Bear and JeremyZ made progress on showing webmentions on their sites!
#
GWG
I think I could help JeremyZ because he uses the same backend
#
tantek
I think he wants a facepile for likes like aaronpk has
#
GWG
tantek: That was the feature I just deployed yesterday. I told him I could help him.
#
GWG
I built it into the theme. I think he wants a plugin.
#
GWG
It is probably doable as a plugin
#
kylewm
what sets new ppl as "indie-visitor"
#
GWG
Isn't it a web form on the wiki?
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: it is the web IRC from the wiki

You keep your bio at the bottom.

My next contemplation is the bio/h-card section of a site. Where people learn a little about you

!tell kbs ha, noticed your “kludgemention”. is the point of signing so i can recognize comments from known friends, when they're not posting on their site?

#
kbs
kylewm: tbh, mostly was a fun quick hack - but it might serve as an additional defence for identity-spoofing, hacked sites and (as you point out) if someone puts content outside their indieweb domain

eg: identity-spoofing - (right now at least) you can see that most of the webmention implementations just use hcard info in the html to identify the poster, which is not so reliable and can be easily changed.

#
jonnybarnes
could someone do me a favour? I think I can now receive webmentions on my notes. Could someone try and reply? https://jonnybarnes.net/note/52
#
voxpelli
jonnybarnes: if you have your site locally, then try https://github.com/voxpelli/node-webmention-testpinger
#
voxpelli
jonnybarnes: it pings your endpoint with a wide variety of real site’s markup, it doesn’t do discovery of your endpoint though
#
KartikPrabhu
jonnybarnes: I got a 400. There was an error parsing the content from your site from http://kartikprabhu.com/notes/barnes-test-mentions
#
cweiske
firefox is fine, though
#
KartikPrabhu
cweiske: those are ligatures which might be supported in chromium now
#
cweiske
oh. so it should look that way?
#
KartikPrabhu
yup. also see the font on this one
#
jonnybarnes
KartikPrabhu: I have possible found the problem. I'm using barnabywalter's php-mf2 library to get the microformats, if I paste the HTML of http://kartikprabhu.com/notes/barnes-test-mentions into http://waterpigs.co.uk/php-mf2/ it returns an empty array
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm really!
#
KartikPrabhu
weird ok will fix
#
jonnybarnes
KartikPrabhu: hong on my bad
#
jonnybarnes
hang even
#
KartikPrabhu
cweiske: you can turn on ligatures in Firefox using -moz-font-feature-settings: "liga", "dlig", "clig"
#
cweiske
I don't like them :)
#
KartikPrabhu
aah sure. there are a typography thing that actually look great in certain fonts :)
#
@weblearning
Why the indieweb? 'Cause the web is becoming a claustrophobic space where we consume, not build & own http://dangillmor.com/2014/04/25/indie-web-important/
(twitter.com/_/status/460715026886971392)
#
jonnybarnes
KartikPrabhu: I think I know whats going on. I take the output of php-mf2 and select the author details, reply, and date and save that to my db. I think my code is borking on the date
#
jonnybarnes
I think for your site the published value doesn't contain an array
#
KartikPrabhu
form the pin13.net output which is using php-mf2 it does seem to an array
#
KartikPrabhu
man! so many typing fails! :P
#
voxpelli
jonnybarnes: the markup of KartikPrabhu doesn’t look very different from others in the published regard?
#
voxpelli
main difference I see is that the a-tag is within the time-tag rather than the other way around which seems to be what most others do
#
KartikPrabhu
voxpelli: hmm that shouldn't affect the mf-parsing
#
voxpelli
KartikPrabhu: I agree

webmentions weren't working, I hope they are now.
#
jonnybarnes
I'm right in thinking, that I know for example barnabywalters left me a reply that failed to be processed by my site
#
jonnybarnes
if I think I've fixed my code I can just open a terminal on my laptop and type `curl -i -d "source=http://waterpigs.co.uk/...&target=https://jonnybarnes.net/note/49" https://jonnybarnes.net/webmention

now HTMLPurifier is plaing up
#
barnabywalters
jonnybarnes: do you have really strict error reporting turned on? the same thing happens for me but I just ignore it
#
barnabywalters
pretty sure HTMLPurifier just wants to cache stuff
#
jonnybarnes
yeah, error in my code, now, before I fix this, in PHP, can I do `throw new MyCustomException('message here');` or will PHP complain that the exception is undefined?
#
jonnybarnes
basically, Im currently doing catch(Exception), and thats catching HTMLPurifier's exception
#
barnabywalters
well if the class MyCustomException exists and is a subclass of \Exception, then yep that should work

#

bnvk: Phil’s apprentice at the totnes school of guitarmaking is obsessed with brass decoration on guitars
#
barnabywalters
his first one had brass lining all over the headstock
#
bnvk
yes, I would like mine in flamed walnut, thank you very much
#
barnabywalters
it was so awkwars, that Phil now refuses to let anyone do anything with brass at the school :)
#
bnvk
barnabywalters: that's awesome

jonnybarnes: the p-comment has no effect there

they need to be in the h-entry element

#
brainTrain
yeah I took a look, seems pretty straight forward for public profiles
#
brainTrain
I wanna set something up that lets me integrate with both private and public posts
#
barnabywalters
brainTrain: what do you mean by “integrate”? you want to publish private posts?
#
barnabywalters
generally we have found that starting with public posts is simpler because it allows a lot of problems to be worked out without worrying too much about privacy or security UX/plumbing
#
barnabywalters
both of which are very difficult to get right
#
brainTrain
yeah I'm going to start with my twitter cause it's all public
#
brainTrain
and I dont' wanna deal with ssl certs for my site right now
#
brainTrain
but one thing I want to do is essentially turn it into a django server and allow myself to have public vs private accounts like facebook which for me is completely locked down

#
KartikPrabhu
I still want to somehow figure out "reposts/likes" with useful text in them somehow
#
ben_thatmustbeme
oh, like if someone reposts and includes a comment about it, or text when they like it
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah. i think those are more useful than just simple "likes/reposts"
#
KartikPrabhu
for instance this one by kylewm is currently in the reposts facepile, http://kylewm.com/share/2014/03/27/1 but I want it to appear with text
#
ben_thatmustbeme
hmm, it'd be hard depending on how you define "Useful"
#
ben_thatmustbeme
"I like this" and then a link, isn't too useful, but determining the difference between that and actually useful text is a bit hard.
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah that is where I am stuck! I could use word count but we'll see I'll play around with that
#
ben_thatmustbeme
thats a pretty hard problem since there are so many variations. just thinking out loud, maybe try to filter out words such as "I", "like(d)", "love(d)", etc and look at word count after that.

GWG’s nice note turns to garbaggio
#
KartikPrabhu
I think it is quite readable, but I wouldn't like it if I couldn't see it on mobile. This is an interesting probelm
#
KartikPrabhu
one solution is manual moderation to "promote" some reposts/likes to show full-text
#
kylewm
interesting
#
kylewm
I guess the problem is that something could be “like” and a “mention” at the same time
#
kylewm
just like it could be a “reply” and “like”
#
aaronpk
has anybody POSSE'd a facebook comment yet?
#
KartikPrabhu

#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: did you use bridgy/publish?
#
snarfed
aaronpk: yeah, bridgy publish has been posseing fb comments
#
kylewm

#
aaronpk
no I did that manually
#
aaronpk
cool, I didn't know bridgy publish does comments too!
#

totally! it's pretty polyglot. https://www.brid.gy/about#reply

documentation and access are the hallmarks of a successful project IMO - so glad IndieWeb has both and more
#
tantek
kylewm do you have any examples of your use of UA-conditional Twitter Cards? E.g. permalink of your original, POSSE tweet, and screenshot of POSSE tweet showing the Twitter Card?

aaronpk - the way this looks is particularly nice/interesting with "View on aaronparecki.com" as the equivalent of "See original post" on FB POSSE copies. https://twitter.com/aaronpk/status/460844919054016512
#
tantek
definitely worth adding to http://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter_Cards#IndieWeb_Examples with a screenshot that clearly shows the "View on aaronparecki.com" bit
#
tantek
aaronpk - would also be interesting to get your thoughts on only providing Twitter Cards based in UA per http://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter_Cards#User-Agent so as to avoid polluting web crawlers in general.
#
KevinMarks_
except you get the "same thing 3 times" problem
#
tantek
KevinMarks - when aaronpk posts his screenshot, you can add that as a critique of that particular implementation ;)
#
tantek
one could also provide blank text in the Twitter Card summary, or however much additional text would fit after ellipsing a long tweet.
#
tantek
always possible iterative improvements
#
tantek
however
#
KevinMarks_
or an ornate image rendering the note in calligraphic text over a picture of the stars
#
tantek
the key thing that makes aaronpk's approach interesting and cool is that it ends with "View on aaronparecki.com"
#
KevinMarks_
I do liek that bit, yes
#
kylewm.com
uploaded /File:kwm-twitter-card.png "example twitter card for an article on kylewm.com"
#
KevinMarks_
though then people will click through and say "now I read this 4 times"
#
tantek
unless your original has more comments/faves etc., or is longer than the tweet, etc.

hmm, interesting that mine says “View on web” not “on kylewm.com”
#
kylewm
must be missing twitter:domain
#
tantek
kylewm - right, this is why I wanted to see aaronpk's documentation of how / what he's doing
#
tantek
so we can make it easier for others to get that same cool effect
#
kylewm
that’s an argument against serving conditionally :)
#
tantek
you can put in a debug hack like ?ua=Twitterbot
#
KevinMarks_
you could put your photo in twitter.img.src to get a bigger face
#
KevinMarks_
this is how we could do facial expressions per tweet
#
kylewm
that is brilliant!
#
tantek
kevinmarks lol
#
tantek
kylewm - looks like aaronpk is using: <meta name="twitter:domain" content="aaronparecki.com">
#
tantek
which makes me wonder if that could be further improved, e.g.
#
tantek
<meta name="twitter:domain" content="aaronparecki.com original post">
#
tantek
and thus make Twitter show the text "View on aaronparecki.com original post"

assuming twitter is simply concatenating strings for this effect
#
KevinMarks_
it derives it from the URL it says
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
tantek
KevinMarks: yet look at how it does not derive it from the URL in kylewm's example
#
kylewm
interesting, domain seems to be an undocumented property?
#
kylewm
also https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/types/product-card shows custom text “Get the Etsy App”
#
KevinMarks_
there are mutiple types
#
kylewm
ah ha
#
KevinMarks_
there's a "buy this thing" type
#
KevinMarks_
though actually it just give s 2 extra key/value pairs
#
KevinMarks_
data1 label1 data2 label2
#
KevinMarks_
so you could cheat that for RSVPs

[@kyle_wm] What happens if the domain is longer?
#
kylewm
tantek: ‘twould appear that domain can be != your URL
#
tantek
kylewm brilliant! well done. screenshot that and write it up as a how to! :)
