# 00:09 tantek kylewm - yes, the quick viewability in a browser is likely a key reason for the better fidelity over time - but more importantly, EVERYONE ELSE can look at it in a browser the momenty you put it on the web and see right away if anything is broken or missing

# 00:10 KevinMarks that weekend is my wife's birthday, both my sons are home, not a good weekend to be away
# 00:14 KevinMarks no way you'd know, and I ahve been away that weekend before, but decided against it this year
# 00:14 KevinMarks I did plug it on Jolie O'Dell's podcast which will be up tomorrow. And will mention in my Google IO ignite tomorrow afternoon too
# 00:15 GWG KevinMarks: I was disappointed. I tuned into that on your endorsement, and no you nor Jolie O'Dell. Wrong week.

# 00:37 tantek was half expecting an h-event feed at that post ;)
# 00:38 aaronpk but holy crap that's a lot of work to do manually
# 00:39 aaronpk especailly cause I just made event posts for everything individually
# 00:39 tantek I suppose that would require a new "collection
# 00:39 tantek which would automatically include all the rich markup from the collections
pauloppenheim joined the channel
# 00:48 kylewm aaronpk: is it intentional that the collection post doesn't link to the individual post permalinks?
# 00:48 tantek aaronpk - I thought this week in IndieWeb was the list of changes to the wiki and such?
dybskiy and paulcp joined the channel
# 00:59 aaronpk tantek: oops yeah... what I should ahve done is posted it last week and called it "next week in the indieweb"
# 00:59 aaronpk kylewm: there are post permalink links under the block quotes
# 01:03 kylewm aaronpk: that's a little awkward isn't it... your event pages don't permalink the dates (which I think makes sense)
# 01:04 kylewm aaronpk: i think permalinking event dates woudl be a little awkward
# 01:05 kylewm I like how you just have "permalink" at the bottom of the actual event pages

# 02:19 KartikPrabhu any JS experts around? How do you filter children elements that have some particular attribute?. Example: I have a list element <ol> and I want an array of those <li> which have a non-empty "data-huha" attribute
wolftune and realz joined the channel
# 02:48 KartikPrabhu yes! :D also don't really want all of jquery so push come to shove I can just borrow parts of jquery source
# 02:49 kylewm do you want to avoid libraries altogether? like have you seen zepto?
# 02:50 KartikPrabhu yeah. I don't want something as simple as adding marginalia to be dependent on third-party stuff
# 02:52 kylewm cool, good luck sorry I can't help. I bet jquery really pollutes the search space for this sort of thing
# 02:53 KartikPrabhu yeah. And there might be some specific word i need to use to describe this task that I don't know

# 03:20 gRegor` on an ol, or li?
willnorris joined the channel
# 03:22 KartikPrabhu rasul: yeah I ended up using a for loop too... the for (var child of huha) is interesting though... can you not do that with just for (var child of children) ?
# 03:23 rascul i couldn't do it to children, don't really know why
# 03:23 rascul also weird that it isn't working for me in chromium
# 03:24 KartikPrabhu gregor`: I got the <ol> using an id which is fine. then I want to do element.children.forEach(do stuff) and it doesn't work

# 05:01 KartikPrabhu hmm will look into it. I probably can not code worth anything without internets :P
# 05:04 KartikPrabhu JonathanNeal: not at the moment... but that should be CSS stuff that'll add shortly... I'll just make them appear for now in a minute.
# 05:10 KartikPrabhu JonathanNeal: now the marginalia should just appear below the paragraph. might need hard refresh to load CSS. Have to fix some styles though.
# 05:12 KartikPrabhu JonathanNeal: stole some fragmention.js code to find the element for a fragmention. Let me know if this is a problem. Also comments on improving marginalia.js would be very appreciated. JS n00b all the way
# 05:15 KartikPrabhu doesn't really understand accessibility issues for using "display: none
# 05:15 gRegor` Hm. The age old "newer" and "older" links with arrows... which direction arrows and which order to put them in. I never seem pleased with it.
# 05:16 gRegor` visibility doesn't remove it from the document flow, so it can still take up space on the page.
# 05:16 gRegor` depending on the element.
# 05:16 gRegor` (Didn't read up on the context, just replying to that last bit :)
# 05:18 gRegor` Yeah, direction. I believe "older" should appear first, on the left, since that's most likely to be used. But I don't feel the arrow should point left.
# 05:18 KartikPrabhu gregor`: I have seen both time directions used. Had plans long back on writing a post about it
# 05:19 gRegor` Let me screenshot what I'm working on
# 05:20 gRegor` Yeah, I've seen various iterations and tried many. I start to like one, but then think about it more and then find something I don't like, haha.
# 05:20 KartikPrabhu yup! same here. part of why I have postponed all of this. but someday I'll have to settle it for my site
# 05:21 gRegor` It's been years, but I think that's why I settled on "Next" and "Previous" on my blog posts, no arraows, just links to the titles of adjacent blog posts.
# 05:21 gRegor` I think I felt better about those words than "older"
# 05:21 KartikPrabhu gregor`: one idea I had was to use up = newer and down = older keeping with the traditional vertical flow of time on blogposts
v0 joined the channel
# 05:22 gRegor` yeah, I'm playing with different unicode arrows at the moment.
# 05:23 KartikPrabhu "next" means the next post you made in time (future), or the 'next' post to read (past)
wolftune joined the channel
# 05:24 gRegor` KartikPrabhu: My 'next' means the first. It's the next post I wrote.
# 05:25 KartikPrabhu yeah. but that convention is again site dependent across the web. (sorry no data to back that up at the moment though)
# 05:25 gRegor` I don't know... it's still time-based content of course, but I think my concept was to move away from some of the traditional blog formats and have standalone posts/articles, which is why I chose the single post view.
# 05:25 gRegor` Yeah, you're right
# 05:27 gRegor` Thoughts on my screenshot above?
eschnou joined the channel
# 05:31 gRegor` I think my disconnect is that "next" (newest) content to the right, especially with an arrow, mimics real world content like a book or newspaper...
# 05:31 gRegor` But the majority of our content online is reverse chronological.
# 05:32 gRegor` So an arrow pointing right to me should always point to older content.
# 05:32 KartikPrabhu sorry I have no answers but more questions... having flashbacks to when I thought about this intently
# 05:32 gRegor` I did have those switched, with the same curly arrows, but I realized more people are likely to click "older" so it should be first.
# 05:32 gRegor` Haha, no problem
# 05:33 gRegor` I'm mostly thinking out loud myself
tantek joined the channel
# 05:34 gRegor` I could stack them. "older" on top of "newer", same curly arrows
# 05:34 gRegor` Or, I could sleep.

# 05:41 tantek KartikPrabhu: mostly I didn't think of blogging it as you wouldn't think of blogging a small group casual conversation

# 05:55 tantek KartikPrabhu: we'll see how that scales as you build the UI ;)

# 12:36 GWG petermolnar: I saw you looked at SNAP. I have to agree.
# 12:38 GWG petermolnar: I have ideas on how to design a better syndication plugin, but I don't think I'm ready for that right now.
KartikPrabhu, avanderlip, chrissaad and pfefferle joined the channel
# 12:51 petermolnar GWG I was wondering if I could add native retweet/reply to SNAP, the short answer is I do not like pain that much
# 12:52 GWG petermolnar: I had thought the solution was a Bridgy Publish Plugin.
# 12:53 petermolnar I disagree a bit: I'd like have the option to manually specify, sometimes even per post what content should exactly be posted to the silos
# 12:55 petermolnar one question though: would you rather do an all-in-one social poster plugin ( with repost/reply/comment/etc and a readable code ) or do one-by-one plugins per service?
wolftune joined the channel
# 12:58 petermolnar GWG I'd really like to have a working & usable plugin, so I probably start working on a POSSE names plugin for Wordpress, first only for Twitter & Facebook
# 12:58 Loqi petermolnar meant to say: GWG I'd really like to have a working & usable plugin, so I probably start working on a POSSE named plugin for Wordpress, first only for Twitter & Facebook
# 12:59 GWG petermolnar: If you design it right, then the services can be add-on options to a handler plugin
# 13:00 GWG petermolnar: Basically, the way Bridgy turns the services it supports into a common control language.
# 13:01 GWG petermolnar: So, the same actions are possible, but they translate to the equivalent on that service.
# 13:01 petermolnar what I'd like to differ from the current ones is to have the app id/token/etc per author not globally
# 13:01 GWG petermolnar: You want multiple authors?
# 13:01 cweiske michielbdejong, so you have to install it manually from git
# 13:02 petermolnar if this is and indieweb plugin, there's not need for multiple authors, that is true :D
# 13:02 cweiske petermolnar, can't you run a single wordpress instance for multiple domains?
# 13:02 GWG petermolnar: I'd say doing it that way would add complexity.
# 13:03 GWG petermolnar: I'd rather add complexity around functionality than multi-user, personally.
# 13:03 petermolnar GWG true, so per site should be enough, but per site one account for each network or multiple accounts for each network?
# 13:04 GWG petermolnar: Start with one, but design for the possibility of multiple ones.
# 13:05 GWG petermolnar: Make it a class, so you can have multiple instances?
# 13:05 GWG Then at least you have the possibility
# 13:06 petermolnar I can't find the who's working on what page on the wiki, can someone please point it out?
# 13:06 GWG petermolnar: I'm a horrible coder. I'm a better idea guy.
# 13:07 GWG petermolnar: There is one thing I would suggest. The output should have templates. If you look at SNAP, it only allows you one default. But, a note output to Twitter is different than a full article output.

# 14:00 pfefferle GWG the view is for users first, so it should only include visible stuff
# 14:01 GWG pfefferle: Unrelated question, should the page links for paginated posts be inside e-content or outside it?
# 14:02 pfefferle GWG it doesn’t matter, because the rel-value depends on the ”žpage“ and not on the ”žcontent“ and is always parsed as a ”žpage“-attribute
# 14:05 GWG But _s, which my theme is based, puts it in entry-content.

# 14:13 GWG pfefferle: I turned 2 filters into one

# 14:21 GWG Those grey boxes are placeholders for elements

# 14:21 GWG The 200x200 in the header is a placeholder for a logo/picture

# 17:37 benwerd What's happening on Thursday morning? I didn't catch that
# 17:37 snarfed basically, you use a spam filter, just like all other broadcast comm platforms (e.g. email)
# 17:37 snarfed e.g. akismet for wordpress, and other servers that integrate with it (easy to do)
# 17:38 snarfed not perfect, but there's no perfect spam solution
# 17:38 snarfed the long pole is arguably just implementation. not many indieweb platforms integrate wwith a spam filter today
# 17:39 tantek benwerd, you mean it didn't show up in your Known indie event aggregator? ;)
# 17:39 aaronpk I like the answer of: Webmention doesn't attempt to solve spam, it's just solving that pingback was difficult to implement. Spam is a separate problem to solve.

# 17:52 bear yes, that is an easy trap to fall into when you have a built-in echo chamber
# 17:52 benwerd it's a _great_ time for them to be coming to this though - right after the knight award
# 17:52 tantek benwerd - I strongly encourage you to start an "Itches" section on http://indiewebcamp.com/User:Werd.io where you list "Private Posts" and whatever else you really want on your own personal site. even if it's just a simple flat list.
# 17:52 tantek benwerd - and order it by which itches the most
# 17:53 benwerd oh, I actually did have that on the idno page. Yes, will do that. Right now.

# 17:54 tantek benwerd - totally fine to keep it on the idno page
# 17:54 benwerd Known itches might also be different to my own werd.io itches
# 17:54 tantek right - fine to keep one list if it's a solo list
# 17:55 tantek once you have a partner, better to keep your own itches lists, and a collective one for the project
# 17:55 finchd caseorganic: I wanted to ask, how did the community choose mediawiki of the opensource wikis? I've been looking at a wiki for work, and couldn't decide
paulcp_ and gRegor` joined the channel
# 17:58 gRegor` There isn't one, tantek
# 18:00 tantek (following the links from the URL in the RSVP)
# 18:00 finchd tantek: found a wiki of wikis when i was looking, sorting out all the closed source once left ~20 wikis with different storage backends
# 18:01 gRegor` Yah, guess I could use the latter. A photo of her holding a camera isn't a great avatar photo on the former. :)
# 18:01 gRegor` I didn't think a photo was required
# 18:01 gRegor` just got her set up with indieauth to sign her in :)
# 18:01 tantek finchd - short answer - MediaWiki is the open wiki UX that most people on the planet are familiar with thanks to Wikipedia, therefore it is the logical first choice for a new open source wiki on that basis alone as long as you don't mine the MediaWiki maintenance (which we are fortunate aaronpk is good at).
# 18:02 tantek gRegor`: not required but certainly does personalize/humanize the RSVPs
# 18:02 tantek and gives people a chance to start learning names/faces even before the IWC itself - helps enable friendlier interactions right from the start
# 18:05 finchd tantek: ooh, fair enough. thanks and many much internet points to you!
# 18:05 gRegor` tantek: Added :)

# 18:07 benwerd Do other people have itches lists on their user pages? I'd love to read them
# 18:07 tantek it's been something we've been encouraging for a while
# 18:08 tantek a way to help people focus their energy on what a) matters to them *personally*, and b) that they feel empowered to actually *do* (rather than just talk about)
# 18:09 tantek benwerd, whenver someone makes a feature request, or starts asking "do you guys support x?", or "it would be cool if …", or "I have an idea for …" - respond by redirecting the conversation to personal itches
# 18:09 tantek i.e. "What is the next most important itch on your own personal site?"
# 18:10 tantek keep asking that over and over and make them answer. then make them write it down on their user page.
# 18:10 tantek then make them work on *that* instead of whatever they were *talking* about.
# 18:10 benwerd tantek: Yes. Definitely. Otherwise you end up in what I call spanner-land - things that are spanners in the works for hypothetical reasons
# 18:10 tantek I am going to call this question the scratchyourownitch challenge-response protocol.
# 18:11 tantek when someone starts talking about/in indieweb, they are implicitly doing a resource request for your time.
# 18:11 tantek for security reasons (avoid DOPA), you must follow the scratchyourownitch challenge-response protocol
# 18:12 tantek which starts by the listening party asking the question "What is the next most important itch on your own personal site?"
# 18:12 tantek and continue to asking it until the first speaker has answered it with something specific and concrete.
manny_ joined the channel
# 18:13 tantek once they have passed that test, follow-up with "Great! Add it to your user page's Itches section"
jsilvestre joined the channel
# 18:13 tantek once they have done so, if they bring up any other topic, repeat with the original challenge-response question.
# 18:14 tantek eventually they will run out of things to add to their itches, or start coding.
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 18:20 tantek benwerd, hope you don't mind the linky linky - just trying to help connect your itches to existing thinking/doing in case it helps make it easier to scratch them!
# 18:22 tantek Working On are things where I have made *some* progress with UX, code etc. and thus am "in the middle of" implementing. Roughly ordered by personal priority.
# 18:23 tantek Itches is used to capture everything else I want on my site but haven't started coding yet.
# 18:23 tantek I figured the distinction would help if anyone else came by and wanted to work on similar things
# 18:23 tantek realizes he should add those descriptions to each section
# 18:25 gRegor` My interests (itches) section is more up to date now
avanderlip joined the channel
# 18:29 benwerd tantek - that's fascinating reading. Thank you again.
# 18:30 gRegor` I like the Falcon logo, tantek.
# 18:33 aaronpk hmm need a good header photo for indieweb event pages
# 18:34 tantek.com edited /User:Tantek.com (+508) "/* working on */ update to link to Falcon Working On and Itches sections, note Itches specifically with an id so I can refer to #Itches, note items to be reprioritized into Falcon working on / itches lists" (
view diff )
# 18:35 tantek I'm trying really hard to minimize any private to-do lists for Falcon beyond just links to within the /Falcon page as reminders.
# 18:35 tantek "doing" the working in the open thing instead of just "talking" about it ;)
# 18:36 tantek thanks gRegor`! I've been a fan of gliders for a while, and I thought that particular phase in the glider lifecycle looked kind of like a falcon swooping down to pick something up.
# 18:38 kylewm tantek: that's awesome, everyone uses the coathanger phase
# 18:38 kylewm falcon phase is instantly recognizable though
# 18:38 tantek thanks. yes I figured this more esoteric phase was more interesting for that aspect ;)

# 18:58 tantek awesome! probably via Bridgy :D (snarfed ^^^)
# 18:58 tantek aaronpk - just an opportunity to improve the "who's invited" display/facepile on your indie event posts ;)
# 18:58 aaronpk i'mw wondering what happened with the markup in the invitation, I see facebook tag IDs and such :(
# 19:03 snarfed aaronpk: looks like the problem is there's no p-rsvp in bridgy's event invites
# 19:03 snarfed …maybe because when i implemented rsvps (many months ago), we didn't yet know what the mf2 should be
# 19:06 kylewm the link i sent before changed from is invited to might attend!
petermolnar joined the channel
# 19:09 tantek snarfed, that page / brainstorm has received very little critical review so please do so and feel free to speak if *anything* seems off / inaccurate.
# 19:12 tantek would be interesting if Bridgy is the first to actually publish "invitation" posts with their own permalinks!
# 19:12 tantek (I don't think that's happened to a post type before - that is - a proxy service being the first to post them!)
# 19:16 snarfed the race is on. :P i'm curious if aaronpk (or anyone else) has implemented p-invitee on the webmention receiving side

# 20:17 benwerd They don't make it easy to screenshare from an Android phone :|
# 20:19 rascul iirc cyanogenmod has a screenshot option if you hold down power button
# 20:19 aaronpk benwerd: isn't there a way to do it via adb or something? pretty sure i've seen that done
# 20:20 benwerd there's a way to do it with java mods, the android sdk, etc etc, or by rooting the phone
# 20:20 donpdonp KitKat (and possibly earlier) will do a screenshot by holding power+volume_down
# 20:20 benwerd I just found a way though - VNC over a USB cable.

KevinMarks joined the channel
# 20:55 tantek I thought there was a good consensus here about gandi.net for domain names
# 20:55 KevinMarks google is apparently going to give each io attendee a free domain
# 20:55 finchd tantek: i've been heavily recommended to nearlyfreespeech.net for domains
# 20:56 rascul gandi was (still is?) also the cheapest for .io
# 20:56 KevinMarks trying to watch tantek's talk, but im in th ebit of the train journey where the horn keeps getting blown
# 21:03 tantek in reading the etherpad about civilizingirc - it sounds like a lot of the problems can be (are?) avoided by the scratchyourownitch challenge-response
# 21:04 tantek i.e. if someone has lots of free time, continuing to redirect them to *create* for their own website hopefully gets them working on that rather than just talking a lot in the channel
# 21:04 tantek aaronpk, perhaps you can volunteer our code-of-conduct including the research we did for it
# 21:05 aaronpk she's talking specifically about the Cydia community, which is people trying to jailbreak their own phones, not sure how you can scratch your own itch more than that, heh
# 21:06 tantek "what is the next most important to you thing that you want to do with your device?"
# 21:07 tantek I also think having a wiki as an outlet for longer form collaborative writing makes a *huge* difference. Does the Cydia community have a wiki that they presumably push longer IRC text to?
# 21:08 tantek a wiki makes people collaborate on incrementally improving each others' work
# 21:08 KartikPrabhu my friend one remarked "forums are millions of people repeating the same 3 statements ad nauseum" paraphrased quote
# 21:08 tantek rather than email (or forums) which encourage incrementally nitpicking and tearing down each others' words
# 21:08 rascul forums can get stupid, only a few cases do i think forums are appropriate
# 21:09 bear my dream idea is that my site lurks for me on IRC and I can give it commands to store/retrieve content
# 21:09 tantek I've never seen forums "work" (as in be effective in terms of efficiency)
pbeaulieu joined the channel
# 21:09 tantek KevinMarks: or even capture multiple points of view (per disagreements)
# 21:09 tantek shows that diversity of opinion is *ok* (even valuable) in a community
# 21:09 rascul tantek even when they do "work" it's not 100%
# 21:10 tantek never seen a real world forum that has made me ever consider using a forum for anything

# 21:41 tantek KevinMarks_: how did you convince Ignite folks to let you use an HTML slide deck?
# 21:46 KevinMarks_ and then git me to throw out my crappy backpack and buy a new one
# 21:47 tantek I think the overall rule here is - pair emergency-handling can be quite helpful ;)
