aaronpk
i have to say, having two separate tvs, one for vga and one for displayport has been super great
#
bnvk
benwerd: hey there!
#
brianjesse
benwerd tantek which project was "hands down best demo"? "mind blown" would like to see that
#
GWG
aaronpk: Have you seen those portable USB monitors?
#
aaronpk
i do have a USB graphics card, but that would take longer to dig up and plug in
#
benwerd
bnvk: yo!

I’m trying to set up Known on my server but have problems, keep seeing 500 error even though I cloned everything incl submodules: https://jancbdt.pictor.uberspace.de/known/ cc benwerd – not sure if the database stuff is correct, I installed Mongodb and all tho
#
benwerd
brianjesse: we watched a seven year old girl sync her website using ruby, then log into the wiki using relmeauth
#
@anomalily
Demos at #indiewebcamp PDX are really pretty exciting. Always cool to see what you can pull off in a few hours of dedicated work.

benwerd: awesome! thanks man - guess my 8 yr old needs to check this out
#
benwerd
jancborchardt: I'm sorry to heard that. Anything in your server logs? You can also use MySQL and local disk now if it's easier - see http://docs.withknown.com

bnvk: that's something for the plane perhaps :) thanks!

word!

"It kind of subverts indieweb itself by removing the need for you to own your own domain."
#
tantek
benwerd - haha - tumblr is good indieweb "practice"
#
tantek
then when you get your own domain
#
tantek
you can map your tumblr to it!
#
tantek
yay beeminder!
#
Loqi
woot
#
tantek
rel-me support in beeminder and indieauth provider support!
#
tantek
yay for demos with pushups!!
#
brianjesse
tumblr web mentions that 's cool stuff
#
benwerd
I love this part so much. Always amazing to see what everyone's put together.
#
GWG
tantek: If owning your own domain is like buying a house...what is the equivalent of renting an apartment?

#
tantek
benwerd - agreed - super inspiring stuff
#
jancborchardt
benwerd: ah, this is the error: known/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
#
brianjesse
will micropub make webmention obsolete?
#
tantek
brianjesse: webmention does not require any auth
#
aaronpk
nope! webmention for untrusted comments
#
brianjesse
aaronpk: but micropub has that feature I believe
mdik joined the channel
#
benwerd
jancborchardt: Oh no! I'd just comment out the two php_value lines. I'll take a look at making that safer.
#
mdik
hi
#
aaronpk
micropub is for content, webmention for notifications
#
jancborchardt
benwerd: thanks! I can open an issue on github for teh record
#
brianjesse
aaronpk: if you receive a micro pub post and your'e not the author (when you validate the identity) - you can put it in a "mentions" bucket - is what i mean

(I should've clarified that the tail -f I was showing was a dummy consumer of the callback, ie, data gets added to beeminder, it sends it off to a URL of your choice. so that's what my laptop was showing, just echoing what the callback sent)
#
jancborchardt
benwerd: done: https://github.com/idno/idno/issues/351 – will file more issues as I go through the installation

#
caseorganic
tantek: great demo!
#
tantek
the CSS was done by mrfelix in Berlin!

binbasti
i just had a look at all of http://indiewebcamp.com/store
#
binbasti
frankly i'm a bit baffled
#
binbasti
this is exactly what the webapps wg is already working on
#
binbasti
if people are missing use cases in their requirements, please bring them forward on the webapps mailing list
#
binbasti
i don't see how it makes sense to deviate from anything that's currently being standardized there
#
binbasti
the whole idea is to allow for independent app stores etc
pfefferle joined the channel
#
cweiske
the people here are somehow allergic to the w3 and working groups that produce no working code
#
binbasti
i'm part of that working group and i produce a ton of code. in fact i'm only there for giving feedback and seeing that it makes sense. my company built an html5 app store even before mozilla did. we just never launched it precisely because it makes no sense without vendor support and common standards
#
binbasti
i'll happily discuss our experience with that topic in detail. gotta leave now though :(
#
binbasti
just saying it'd be good if people joined the w3c's efforts instead of replicating their work in a slightly different way (even basing it on their specs initially)
#
binbasti
it will at least be used by mozilla and a few others
#
binbasti
meaning all the indiephone etc vendors could/would be compatible with ffos etc., and using common web standards

i haven't seen any other realtime editing thing that works like etherpad

neither have I that is self hosting

the only thing that's close is socrates.io but they actually explicitly say that it's not suitable for multi-user editing

I did some looking earlier last week to see if there was a js lib implementation of OT - but didn't find any that implement the same as Etherpad (or Wave) did

some implement a variant of it

KartikPrabhu its going to be a while, take your time
#
tantek
!tell cweiske in conversation earlier today with binbasti you said "people here are somehow allergic to the w3 and working groups that produce no working code" - I don't think that is a fair generalization, nor is it reasonable to paint everyone with that brush. If you have specific concerns about specific specs/people, please raise them directly with them.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
JonathanNeal
HTML-ish question, what is the proper way to markup inline comments? <p>Content</p><aside> ? <blockquote> ?
#
tantek
!tell binbasti I'd like to see the /store effort follow webapps wg manifest as well.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: how "inline" do you mean?
#
tantek
I think /comment says how to markup
#
tantek
why is inline any different?
#
aaronpk
I haven't really been following the /store development, but why is it re-creating things?
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: I have been working on fragmention.js today to make marginalia easier to implement. tantek: i am referring to the context of block level notes, say, appended after a paragraph.
#
tantek
aaronpk - maybe because bnvk, j12t are distracted by the shiny of proprietary app stores? it's why I added the link about Firefox Marketplace and manifest already enabling open app stores.
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: awesome! I'll surely update the current code with improved fragmentions :)
#
JonathanNeal
Thanks tantek, I’ll look at that. I wasn’t sure if it would change when it is appended within the original article itself.
#
tantek
aaronpk - I'm not too worried about it - when they get closer to building stuff for /store on their own sites I'm sure we'll see convergence / re-use, because it's easier to do so.
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: if you have a specific use case that you think is special/different (sample URL) that you're wondering about, we can take a look at it.
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: also is there a misconception that the indiewb wiki is attempting alternative specs, where as I think of it more as documenting use-cases and solutions, regardless of whether they match w3c or not...?
#
bnvk
tantek: distracted? who is j12t?
#
bnvk
tantek: also, i'm completely implementing based on the w3c / FF open standard
#
bnvk
so i'm bit at a loss what you're talking about
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: I'm not sure - nor worried about it. If you see a specific citation of such misconception we can investigate.
mrflix joined the channel
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: that being said, #indiewebcamp has a *very* different methodology for documentation, specs, etc. than WHATWG, W3C, IETF etc.
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: I was wondering if that was the case with the /store comment by binbasti
#
bnvk
what is this /store comment by binbasti?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: most of the /store page seems to talk about proprietary mobile app stores as an example
#
tantek
bnvk - see logs from earlier this morning
#
bnvk
argh
#
tantek
bnvk - you and I discussed this perhaps a few weeks ago
#
JonathanNeal
tantek: the use case is https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia, which currently appends the notes as elements within the paragraph. While this works, it is not valid per say.
#
tantek
when I asked if you'd heard of FirefoxOS Marketplace etc. and you'd said no - so I added references to the /store page
#
tantek
since FFOS is an example of shipping open app stores
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: oh! is <ol> in a <p> invalid ?
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: what's not valid?
#
tantek
oh is this the no blocks inside <p> problem?
#
tantek
yeah that's a lame leftover from HTML
#
tantek
all the stupid embedding rules in HTML - so much legacy crap that serves no one
#
tantek
what you can/cannot put where
#
KartikPrabhu
didn't realise that "no blocks in <p>" was a thing. it seemed to work everywhere
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: it works because you’re messing with the DOM, which does not have the same restrictions as HTML.
#
tantek
j12t is Johannes
#
tantek
!tell binbasti does your personal site have a manifest that allows it to be installed as a webapp?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: yes, that's what I guessed. would be nice if marginalia had valid HTML :P
#
JonathanNeal
It is, admittedly, confusing. But were you to create a new document that had <p>Hello <ul><li>World</li></ul></p> it would be rendered as <p>Hello </p><ul><li>World</li></ul><p></p> in all browsers.
#
tantek
to fix HTML for this we basically just need to define new "inline" versions of lists etc. and then we can just stick to always using those.
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: oh poop! Will update the code if/when we can comeup with a "valid" HTML then
#
bnvk
!tell binbasti my efforts with the /store are NOT relating to client side app stores, webapp !== client side (html5 + js) only apps, I'm not focusing on server side apps that are installed on hardware that is available to the web- think an open source cPannel for self hosting. Look at the platforms and "Platforms" documented on the page
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
JonathanNeal
Or, comments could come after a paragraph, not within it at the end.
#
JonathanNeal
<p>Content</p><x>Comment</x> with <x> being the markup I’m asking about.
#
KartikPrabhu
yes... but then relating them to the paragraph for styling is trickier... will look into it. thanks for pointing that out JonathanNeal
#
bnvk
tantek: I don't recall conversing with you on this a few weeks ago, a month or two ago, yes
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: inline list as in <iol> <iul> with <ili> ;)
#
tantek
bnvk - that's possible :)
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: something like that. I'd like to just use a lowercase L but that would look too much like an uppercase I. <l>
#
bnvk
tantek: do you mean, the clear declaration of "server" vs. "client" ?
#
tantek
no I think it was after that
#
bnvk
so, what was it about then?
#
tantek
see history of /store when I added the Firefox devmo link about manifest
#
tantek
and then check IRC logs for that day
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: somehow I feel list should only be saying that there is a list of things, inline or not who cares, except for some CSS...
#
tantek
my point was that it looked like no one working on /store was aware that there already was a *shipping* open "app store" implementation, spec etc.
#
KartikPrabhu
is sometimes confused by HTML semantics
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: exactly
#
bnvk
tantek: what's the actual gripe / concern? I'm implementing based on the standard.
#
tantek
HTML is like that only because SGML folks confused it with such rules.

bnvk
ah ok, ok, I see :)

tantek: cool! i plan on being there
#

jden: we started cleaning up gitpub (https://github.com/bcomnes/gitpub) sunday, trying to abstract to the point that it would be useful for any statically generated site hosted on gh-pages. would basically act as a micropub endpoint you could self-host
#
tantek
jden - great!
#
bret
jden not sure if you saw this: http://glennjones.net/tools/microformats/ it does rels + µF
#
jden.us
edited /IRC_People (+48) "add jden"
(view diff)
#
jden
ah cool. i had seen the microformat-node parser
#
aaronpk
do most people who edit the wiki regularly use the full-page edit link or section edit links?
#
bret
I use both
#
bret
i have noticed that things fall outside the section edits
#
aaronpk
the new skin currently has the wiki tools (edit, move, watch, etc) under a dropdown menu
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: mostly section, but full page if I want to copy some wiki code
#
bret
can we move JUST edit outside that menu?
#
bear
(what KartikPrabhu just said)
#
bret
or make the drop down menu clickable to go directly to edit?
#
bret
like when i hover the edit button the rest show up
#
aaronpk
heh that'd be a neat hack
#
bnvk
here is the result of the /Store hacking yesterday http://apps.indiewebify.me/
#
bret
cool bnvk!
#
bnvk
the data for the apps are being pulled from different manifest on each projects repos and compiled into static pages
#
snarfed
jden: indiefinger is cool!
#
snarfed
you could even add facebook and twitter url/email addr support by integrating with https://github.com/snarfed/webfinger-unofficial
#
snarfed
happy to help if you're interested
#
jden
snarfed: let me take a look at it - i'm definitely gonna need help. i'm building indiefinger mostly as a tool to support addressing and discovery for http://rel.is
#
bnvk
here's the code with a readme example of indie.json manifest if any of you are so inclined to make one for your app :) https://github.com/brennannovak/indie-app-store
#
bret
snarfed how did you learn to program/software engineer?
#
snarfed
bret: oh man, can't remember
#
snarfed
my dad worked in tech so we always had computers around. some random classes, some self taught i guess
#
tantek
to the folks who worked on the wiki-reskinning - how often do you yourselves edit the wiki?
#
tantek
(assuming there are any of them active in IRC!)
#
snarfed
jden: basic integration should be easy, just detect facebook.com/twitter.com and 301 redirect them to the same path at https://facebook-webfinger.appspot.com/ or https://twitter-webfinger.appspot.com/

jden - how do you use webfinger yourself with / on your own site? like what use-cases is it solving for you personally?

#
jden
tantek: most recently (in the past 20 minutes) looking up my friends' yo usernames on their sites
#
tantek
seriously? you have friends who *both* use "yo" and webfinger?!?
#
tantek
I would have guessed that intersection to be the empty set!
#
jden
no, that's the thing - they don't use webfinger
#
jden
no one uses webfinger
#
jden
but i can talk them into adding a rel=me yo link to their page
#
jden
indieyo actually decreases the use of webfinger
#
jden
on publishers' parts
#
jden
er, indiefinger, not indieyo
#
tantek
oh is indiefinger for webfinger consumers?
#
jden
yeah. that's the proxy/fallback part, is it first looks to see if the publisher has webfinger. if they do, it passes through the request, otherwise it just builds the request from http/html links
#
jden
s/builds the request/builds the response
#
Loqi
jden meant to say: yeah. that's the proxy/fallback part, is it first looks to see if the publisher has webfinger. if they do, it passes through the request, otherwise it just builds the response from http/html links
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm "WebFinger is a protocol specified by the IETF that allows for discovery of information about people and things identified by a URI. Wikipedia" if I am reading this correctly, it is same function as rel=me ... ?
#
snarfed
KartikPrabhu: it works with email addrs too. (that's arguably the more common case.) it doesn't assume you have a web page
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: yeah - there's a lot of unnecessary reinvention going on in webfinger
#
snarfed
it was inspired by the finger cmd' on old timesharing systems
#
tantek
at least the naming was
#
jden
for email addresses, i fall back to http://domain.com/~user to look for rel links
#
KartikPrabhu
snarfed: as in? suppose I only have an email how does webfinger do anything?
#
snarfed
tantek: s/there's/there was/ (it's not really that active now)…but otherwise yes
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: This would be the HTML markup for inline comments that come immediately after whatever blocking element they are comments of, like a paragraph. https://gist.github.com/jonathantneal/cf8ea5ff0cafd72e3688
#
tantek
snarfed, yeah, when it got started, I gave that feedback and then backed away because the response was "please join our mailing list!" - and I was like haha, no just go do your homework before you reinvent too much.
#
snarfed
KartikPrabhu: you query the webfinger server at the email addr's domain, and it responds with info
#
tantek
nevermind all the .well-known nonsense
#
KartikPrabhu
snarfed: what other info? If I already know the email addr?
#
JonathanNeal
I was hoping http://indiewebcamp.com/comments would have a literal code example so I could also add the proper microformats.
#
snarfed
KartikPrabhu: lots of other info. profile urls, picture, etc
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: my site uses the mf2 stuff for comments.
#
snarfed
(don't make me tell you to rtfm! :P)
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: when posting a reply on your own site? or when showing comments on one of your posts?
#
JonathanNeal
When showing comments, ie marginalia.
#
tantek
snarfed - all that lots of other info. profile urls, picture, etc was already in hCard
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: for marginalia I am not changing any markup that the content page author hasn't used already. Just moving <li> to a new <ol>
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: there was no real world use case for webfinger to exist
#
tantek
it was developed for the imaginary "other users"
#
snarfed
tantek: sure. i'm not defending, just describing
#
tantek
it failed both the scratchyouownitch test and the selfdogfood test
#
tantek
nevermind the "let's create a new one-off email list for this one spec!" anti-pattern
#
KartikPrabhu
snarfed: link to the fm :P I couldn't find any good description on the Googs
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: for today's web, webfinger is suitably ignorable
#
snarfed
KartikPrabhu: really? https://code.google.com/p/webfinger/ is the first result and is pretty useful
#
snarfed
anyway. i'll back away slowly now :P
#
KartikPrabhu
snarfed: oh hmm ok my bad... I usually ignore code.google for some reason
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: because usually it indicates a dead-end - ignored projects
#
tantek
since the popular thing to do is to migrate to github
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: yes! :)
#
tantek
(not saying that's a good thing, but that is the behavior I'm seeing)
#
KartikPrabhu
oh! the server has to run some sort of webfinger-ness hmm ok :P
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: it's something more complicated invented by people who thought HTML was too complicated
#
tantek
(also a common antipattern among many web technologists)
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm i guess I have beaten the dead-webfinger-horse enough :P back to marginalia stuff :)
#
tantek
aaronpk - I like this photo of you and me: https://twitter.com/anomalily/status/483404554445156352

!tell benwerd really hoping you can make it Wednesday night to http://indiewebcamp.com/events/2014-07-02-homebrew-website-club and perhaps even make an IndieEvent and POSSE to FB Event as well? Thank you in advance!

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
