@JHacked due to lame @att "Messages" service that allowed hacker to break into txt messages and essentially override two factor authentication (twitter.com/_/status/469284981701767170)
childoftvawesome. I'd love to unpair from various services and for example share private keys with friends to comm on a personally secured channel...no idea re the legality
raph_mHow about the Julia programming language? Any thoughts on that? I'm seeing some technical work being done with iJulia: https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl :)
kylewmhit kind of a dead end on my hashtag idea … can't think of a way to do it without a central server collecting all the tags, which starts to feel very silo-like
kylewmi wanted to use webmentions to notify some server that i'd tagged a thing... <a href="http://indie-tags.net/foobar">#foobar</a>. It'd receive the webmention and aggregate all the tags from everyone talking about that thing
KartikPrabhukylewm: I will add some "safe defaults" i.e. if the page has no microformats then some default values could be parsed from the HTML but that might not belong in mf2util
warScoutyeah I can imagine...hmmm..okay thank KartickPrabhu....I will continue trying see if I can connect through mIRC...if anyone has any guidance that would be awesome
aaronpkthinking about two-factor auth at a nano level, requiring human confirmation before any client can actually post to your site via your micropub endpoint
aaronpke.g. I sign in to barnaby's experimental Taproot interface but don't trust it entirely yet. Instead of giving him blanket access to post to my site, every time his app makes a request to my micropub endpoint, it goes and asks me for confiramtion before publishing
michielbdejongRe http://indiewebcamp.com/CORS - this would be very useful for client-side IndieReaders like https://dogfeed.5apps.com/. I would rely on CORS to poll the rss feeds of people I folllow if all of them had CORS headers. But since >=1 of them don't, I proxy these requests through sockethub instead.
michielbdejongThis means nobody reads other people's websites over CORS, which in turn means there is no benefit (that I know of) of one single website offering CORS headers.
binbastimichielbdejong: reg. dogfeed: yes, but you could also use a proxy, like the one we have for 5apps Deploy accounts, so your code for parsing the feed/microdata etc is already the same as if you could access everything with cors enabled. in fact, you could then fall back to a proxy automatically, depending on if you get access to the resource or not (not 100% sure about this one, because browsers are intentionally quiet/unclear about cors errors)
barnabywalterskylewm: in my logs I see a successfully discovered micropub endpoint, so it’s possible I broke something when I extracted my indieauth code into a separate library
barnabywaltersRequest has indieauth token {"token":{"access_token":"Unlogged string of length 251","scope":"['post']","me":"http://kylewm.com","micropub_endpoint":"http://kylewm.com/api/micropub"}}
barnabywaltersRequest has indieauth token {"token":{"me":"http://waterpigs.co.uk","scope":"post","access_token":"Unlogged string of length 528","micropub_endpoint":"http://waterpigs.co.uk/"}}
barnabywalterskylewm: http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/new should now have a little debugging box at the bottom — let me know if there’s anything else in there which would be useful or would have been useful whilst debugging
emmak, paulcp, snarfed and nloadholtes joined the channel
snarfedhe said they get about 1kqps of new posts, so estimating say average of 5 links per post, that'd be 5kqps of webmentions steady state, which is pretty big
snarfedhe's obviously friendly toward all of this. i think he feels strongly about feed formats, but also strongly about the indieweb community, so i doubt he'd get religious about mf2/h-feed vs rss/atom
snarfedbridgy's support for tumblr/blogger/wp.com is similar, but the problem is it's opt in per blog. this would automatically start sending them for a huge number of sites, without requiring any changes to the sites themselves, which would be awesome
voxpelliI would rather only receive webmentions from people intentionally sending them rather than from anyone who just links to me from their blog entry
KartikPrabhuthe purpose is to notify that some post was linked to from another one. The receiver can choose to ignore it if it was a simple mention. I note simple "mentions" under the "Mentions" section below my posts
voxpelliKartikPrabhu: I would focus more on the "mention" part of that description - I think mentioning is an active act rather than something you passively do by just linking. That there's a difference between linking and mentioning
snarfede.g. many servers and blog providers automatically send trackbacks or pingbacks, and most of their users have no idea that those even exist, much less that their sites are sending them
voxpelliwe're still discovering new needs for it though - like the discovery of a-tags - and bigger scale makes things harder to change - makes you less agile
voxpelliAnd from a PR point it's much less easy to make a case for webmentions without pairing it with mf2 metadata - so big pushes should have both for increased likelihood of success
KartikPrabhutantek: I am saying that arguing about which format is better is futile without people having done something with it which includes UX/UI . Afaik on the writing/publishing end RSS UX is sort of sucky and h-feed is better. On the consuming end RSS/Atom UX is better just because of a lot of reader support. (I think we are basically agreeing :) )
dissolvekylewm twit does a bunch of stuff like this week in microsoft, this week in android, etc. In theory its all about google, but really they just talk about whatever half the time
tantekshaners, arguing can be worth the time in a community when used to reduce the occurrences of repeated noise-threads which distract from building.
tantekI was precise: RSS (format, "community" (if there even is one), proponents) are all about errantly focusing on plumbing instead of user experience.
tantekKartikPrabhu: the only way I've found out of that mess is to reduce engagements with (i.e. even quoting/linking) people/communities that are plumbing-focused.
KevinMarkskylewm: it's called this week in google originally 'cos Jeff wrote What Would Google Do, btu it covers cloud computing and whetever we feel like
tantekto me, anyone seriously proposing RSS for anything at this point (especially the start of a discussion) is blind to the fact that RSS evolution has been dead for 10+ years.
gavinc_What about complaining about the plumbing? Can we bitch about the pipes that require us to have web applications just so a command line too can download our pictures? (OAuth2)
kylewmKartikPrabhu: from the publishing side maybe, but as a content consumer, if someone can subscribe to me on twitter or on superfeedr (via a reader), they're more likely to get better content on the latter
KartikPrabhukylewm: as a content consumer the trouble with feeds is that it is purely passive unlike Twitter where you can reply and all that. I am hoping indie-readers + micropub will solve that
kylewmKevinMarks: i was talking to Julien last night about whether we could subscribe to a track on superfeedr, seems like that mechanism has more potential
tantekkylewm - your question "syndicating to a feed fundamentally different from syndicating to twitter?" is the best illustration of feed-framing-blinders I have seen
KartikPrabhukylewm: you could say "syndicating to feedly" and that does not depend on your feed format (say), but then what? Feedly does not provide you any way to actively engage with the content (like reply/comment)
KevinMarksaaronpk: reading you comments on micropub from last night, I shoudl get back to making noterlive support ti. Which means making noterlive work again.
ben_thatmustbemeOnce i get some results of exactly how you need to format things to get your site updates to show up in Google Now, I'll add a wiki page about that
kylewmKartikPrabhu: it's very weird to me that you're arguing that feedly doesn't provide a wy to engage with content. The way to engage is to post on your own site and send me a WM
kylewmKartikPrabhu: because it lets me include a permalink to my actual real post, I think it provides a much better way for people to engage with my content
ben_thatmustbemeKevinMarks, I turned them on but I have yet to see any on desktop. I am getting every update to tantek.com and waterpigs.co.uk now though
KartikPrabhuFor instance this is what a friend asked me on reading my indieweb article: "So once I read your site and want to comment, I have to open a new tab, go to my own site and post there?"
tantekand discussing that kind of thing " once I read your site and want to comment, I have to open a new tab, go to my own site and post there?" is 100x more important than *any* discussion of RSS
KartikPrabhuyes! and my idea was - have a indie-comment form on a post so that the reader can comment in-place and it uses micropub to post on the reader's own page as a note with in-reply-to
snarfedi have a couple pages of notes about different blog apis, which support multiple providers, etc from when i started implementing webmentions for tumblr/blogger/wp.com
tantek*-blinders - when the *-centric framing is so strong as to not just neglect other (more important) consideration like UX, but to completely miss them as if they don't exist
KartikPrabhutantek: yes, but I feel it should be more modular. But in some sense bridgy is only doing one thing, 'bridging' the gap to the silos so maybe it is ok :)
tantek!tell barnabywalters KartikPrabhu is interested in how to make inline-commenting work per http://indiewebcamp.com/webactions#Inline_Comment_UI and I remember you had some iframe-based hacks working (or just in mind)? Perhaps time to discuss again!
tantekKartikPrabhu: your friend's question is a very good framing of the cross-indie-site commenting challenge. Getting that working will make for an incredible demo.
KartikPrabhuhoping to get the ball rolling on micropub on my site in the coming days, if I have it before IWC-East I might work on the comments thingie in NYC
tantekKartikPrabhu: for folks in the community to put (somewhat mature?) projects which they're ok with just having anyone in the community drive forward
tantek!tell benwerd,snarfed I'm going to be out of town (SF) on 2014-06-04 - could one of you host at another transit-accessible SF location? http://indiewebcamp.com/Events#Upcoming
Loqibenwerd: tantek left you a message 46 minutes ago: I'm going to be out of town (SF) on 2014-06-04 - could one of you host at another transit-accessible SF location? http://indiewebcamp.com/Events#Upcoming
JonathanNealtantek: here’s my thought and call me out if think I’m off. 1. Indieweb people are people who build their own and tinker, and I think that means they have an overall more rounded understanding of web technology. 2. I build and think in “tools”, so sometimes I don’t feel like I belong to either the “consultant web” or “indie web” category. 1
tantekJonathanNeal: that's reasonable reasoning. The key missing bit is the filter that we try to apply to indieweb conversations, namely selfdogfooding.
JonathanNealIf that’s off, I’m totally okay with that and would not discuss my ware of ideas or technologies here, unless it’s requested, like in the case of KevinMarks.
tantekThat is, there's a bit of an allergic reactions to proposals/discussions of the sort "I think the indieweb would find x useful" if x is not something the proposer is actively using/publishing on their own site.
RjRussdidn't think about using just my initials....I was trying my full name..and various versions...see just needed help with the brainstormin....my brain is fried from daily responsibilities lol
LoqiWeb hosting is perhaps the primary regular cost in maintaining an Indie Web Site (more expensive than most domain name registrations/renewals) http://indiewebcamp.com/hosting
JonathanNealKartikPrabhu: right now, icons are a popular way people use SVGs. However, as animation support becomes more widespread and people blog more about them, there will be other uses.
JonathanNealKartikPrabhu: for instance, SVGs would make excellent overlays. Or, I could imagine a Shadow DOM with an embedded SVG that animates the live weather.
KartikPrabhuJonathanNeal: yes. but for existing use cases, I don't want to put icons in the HTML, they should stay in the CSS. And so I don't really have an opinion for the improved markup you suggest
Loqibarnabywalters: tantek left you a message 4 hours, 6 minutes ago: KartikPrabhu is interested in how to make inline-commenting work per http://indiewebcamp.com/webactions#Inline_Comment_UI and I remember you had some iframe-based hacks working (or just in mind)? Perhaps time to discuss again!
KartikPrabhubasically I was asked by a friend So once I read your site and want to comment, I have to open a new tab, go to my own site and post there?" which is a legitimate UX question for the indieweb
KartikPrabhuso I have been thinking along the lines of a micropub-form (instead of a traditional comment form) that posts a note to the commenter's site as a reply to the current post
barnabywaltersI’m not thrilled about moving all of these interactions out of our personal sites and into an integrated reader, but I think that’s going to be the best overall approach
kylewmbarnabywalters: your notes posting interface, i mean if you just stuck that on a post permalink page with in-reply-to pre-filled, isn't that basically a micropub comment form?
emmakassuming you already have a cookie/token for your own site, couldn't the comment button just foward you to the micropub endpoint on your own site?
emmakto explain in more detail, the comment button would forward you to some landing page on your own site, log you in if necessary, confirm the comment you are about to post, and then take you back to the original site
barnabywaltersaaronpk: that’s part of the thinking behind webactions — clicking a button on someone elses site doesn’t perform the action, it pre-fills your UI for performing the action
barnabywaltersemmak: yeah, and current webaction implementations — enter data in a convenient, untrusted location, confirm posting in a trusted location
aaronpkoh so after I sign in with indieauth (just to identify myself, no access token generated), barnaby's comment form could set the action to my micropub endpoint. but there'd be no access token. so my micropub endpoint upon getting a request with no access token could handle that appropriately
