KartikPrabhu: I have a feeling the design of Ello is in a lot of flux. Also I have a theory. Could you upload a screenshot illustrating the bad monospace font?
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: I am just annoyed that they went out of their way to make everything look "shiny" and did not use a readable font first
#
tantek
indeed. classic designery move.
#
rascul
ello is way too much monospace
#
rascul
not so much that it's a bad font imo just that it's too much monospace
#
KartikPrabhu
rascul: monspace with tiny font size is horrible
#
rascul
doesn't seem too small to me, maybe because my screen is bigger
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: can you embed/reference on the issue on the /Ello page? Feel free to upload to the wiki too (unless you prefer to keep the image URL on your own domain)
#
KartikPrabhu
sure I can upload it
#
rascul
it is harder for me on the laptop
#
rascul
which has a smaller screen than the desktop
#
KartikPrabhu
rascul: yup. hence monospace for reading is a bad idea
#
Mark87_
its weird but I kind of like it
#
rascul
i don't dislike monospace, i just feel like there's too much of it there
#
Mark87_
its got some sort of retro look
#
Mark87_
feel rather
#

uploaded /File:ello-post.jpg "sample ello post with the said monospace font. Font declaration: "AtlasTypewriterRegular","Andale Mono","Consolas","Lucida Console","Menlo","Luxi Mono",monospace"
#
rascul
monospaces on rascul.io
#
tantek
"retro look" - that sounds like designery rather than usability
#
Mark87_
rascul your titles are monospace if im not mistaken
#
rascul
also needs to work more on rascul.io...
#
Mark87_
looks cool
#
rascul
Mark87_ titles are
#
rascul
rest of them are sans
#
rascul
i have a very hard time reading sans serif on screen

#
rascul
i prefer sans serif on paper though
#
KartikPrabhu
monospace on title font is fine. Big letters are not hard to read.
#
Mark87_
theres a lot of criticism of ello in the wiki. doesn't anyone have anything nice to say?
#
KartikPrabhu
i've used monospace before too see: https://kartikprabhu.com/article/line-mode the titles and quotes are monospaced
#
rascul
for normal text though i generally feel monospace isn't good
#
KartikPrabhu
Mark87_ : is it looks shiny a good thing?
#
Mark87_
lol yes, im just worried by setting ourselves against it we'll see another misguided backlash like the database thing
#
rascul
i never really saw anything good from ello, it's just another silo that's gonna be big for a bit then either get bigger or go away
#
KartikPrabhu
Mark87_: if you like something particularly UI design stuff do add to that page
#
rascul
if it gets bigger it's gonna have some of the same issues as facebook, twitter, g+, etc
#
KartikPrabhu
but for now, I see a lot of shiny, and transitions without readability so...
#
Mark87_
you know, maybe I just like it because I stare at monospaced code all day

rascul: did you really mean to say y ou prefer sans serif on paper but serif on the screen? isn't that backwards?
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: with the advent of hi-def screens (well-designed) serif looks very good on screens too
#
rascul
kylewm erm i dunno now i'm confused, i probably drank too much beer to talk about fonts
#
KartikPrabhu
rascul: good idea ;)
#
rascul
arial = screen, times new roman = paper
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah kylewm your guess was right

woohoo, someone was wrong on the internet but i fixed it

I think she must've added webmentions stuff last night

good evening
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: possible. Well my prolific fragmention replying hpoefully nudges people to add it on their sites :)
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: depends on the person I think. Document what people say.
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: no one has called me out on it. But then probably only 3 people outside the indieweb read my tweets anyway :)

hi parzzix how goes the indiewebbing?
#
parzzix
KartikPrabhu, good, I have known working fairly well now.
#
parzzix
Does brid.gy only look for comments on posts I made from my site...what if I tweet directly from twitter..is there a way to pull that to my known?
#
KartikPrabhu
parzzix: if there is no original post on Known then bridgy doesn't know where to pull in comments
#
parzzix
gotcha KartikPrabhu
#
KartikPrabhu
so I would either POSSE all the tweets (because why not) or PESOS a copy back to Known ( don't know if this is possible in Known yet )
#
KartikPrabhu
in fact since I added "notes" to my site, I exclusively POSSE everything. Twitter always only gets a copy
#
parzzix
Gotcha KartikPrabhu , but what if you are replying to another persons tweets?
#
KartikPrabhu
i think Known can do that too
#
KartikPrabhu
it is a bit tedious. Would be good to hijack Twitter's Reply button. I think barnabywalters wrote a webaction toolbelt thingy that possibly does this
#
parzzix
hmmm..interesting KartikPrabhu ...time to study up a little
#
KartikPrabhu
parzzix: this is a bit that could be made smoother, but it is at least something to adjust to the silos
#
parzzix
I think for now, if really important I will cut an paste from twitter if I need to..other way i'll just posse my own tweets

On the form-encoded thing I thought there was a well defined way to send multiple of the same field
#
KevinMarks__
?field=val1&field=val2&field=val3
#
KartikPrabhu
me too. haven't looked into it though
#
kylewm
KevinMarks__: my first attempt at parsing that with php was unsuccessful
#
kylewm
but I know almost nothing about php
#
@waxpancake
Ello *might* want to rethink their “fail-safe method” of holding themselves accountable to their community. https://twitter.com/waxpancake/status/515290247567921152/photo/1
(twitter.com/_/status/515290247567921152)
#
kylewm
i.e. php > parse_str("field=val1&field=val2&field=val3", $results);
#
kylewm
php > var_dump($results);
#
kylewm
array(1) {
#
kylewm
["field"]=>
#
kylewm
string(4) "val3"
#
kylewm
regular old urlparse.parse_qs works fine too
#
KartikPrabhu
KevinMarks__: is there a link to the form-encoded spec? that might be useful too
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: yup!
#
KartikPrabhu
from: https://ello.co/wtf/post/why-no-ads "To make this crystal-clear to everyone, we've put a very obvious DELETE ACCOUNT link on every user's settings page.

well, it's like "Easter eggs". someone who's 22 and writing JS professoinaly for the first time thinks it's "cool" or "non-corporate" that they can put abbreviations for "what the fuck" in a URL. as someone who's been trolling USENET since 1989 i just have to laugh

in fact, one could say i was trolling USENET before it was cool. but i really dont want to mention this for fear of soundlike a "hipster"

We did ship a wtf feature at technorati shortly before I left. The pm claimed it stood for "Where's The Fire?"

If ello was actually responsive that would be nice
#
KartikPrabhu
KevinMarks__ it is on their to-do feature list. but yeah responsive first
#
KartikPrabhu
retro-fitting to be responsive is plain bad
#
KartikPrabhu
or at least hard
#
KevinMarks__
I tried using it on phone and tablet first before realising that it had that bootstrap smell
#
KartikPrabhu
checks if ello is readable at all on a phone
#
KartikPrabhu
bootstrap--
#
Loqi
bootstrap has -1 karma
#
KartikPrabhu
making devs lazy since 20.??
#
KevinMarks__
You have to know to swipe on the 3 dots on the bottom to get the actual content
#
KartikPrabhu
KevinMarks__ at lest on homepage scrolling works for me. on profiles it seems you have to swipe to the side. some clunky JS running to make that happen... ergh
#
kou
whatever happened w/ App.net, was hard to believe people were funding a closed-source product so radily
#
KartikPrabhu
wow... I can't find a good thing to say about ello! their monospace is even harder to read on mobile
#
kou
unchecked "allow websites to use fonts other than these" long ago
#
kou
fonts.googleapis.com is a crucial /etc/hosts entry too. otherwise they track virutally every page-load anymore
wolftune joined the channel

I have a >400dpi screen, all fonts are legible on it

jjuran joined the channel
#
kou
ive given up on JS/cookie whitelisting. too much stuff is broken or gets into infinite-reload-loops anymore without both. i think some of the remaining breakage issues are due to blocked analyticsscripts/spyware bubbling-up exceptions that prevent other non-ad UI JS from ever running
#
kou
a lot of it probably just iOS/Macbook-centrism w/ regards to testing the UIs
#
KartikPrabhu
that is why we have progressive enancement

ShaneHudson
Good morning everyone :)
#
petermolnar
I have a generic, not-just-indie question on post tagging: I use categories for the structure of the site ( having very different topics requires this ) and currently rethinking my tagging style. The options are: a) hashtag-style crazyness of all related things; b) keywords style tagging; c) less-generic categories-like tagging
#
petermolnar
I wonder who goes with which
#
ShaneHudson
I think I use b (if I understand your meaning). But I'm not happy with how my tagging works so thinking about going nearer C
#
petermolnar
that's exactly the same situation I have at the moment :)
#
ShaneHudson
On the otherhand, I think adactio also uses b and I often navigate his site via tags
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: not really sure about what a. b. c. mean specially for a reader. but I have trouble with tags an diff. topics too
#
ShaneHudson
On my new site, I no longer have categories at all. Just types (articles, notes, links) and tags
#
petermolnar
b) and c) is very similar, but c) is a bit more restrictive
#
petermolnar
ShaneHudson that is very good approach to be honest
#
ShaneHudson
The only tags I really use are travel and indieweb, and occasionally code. Definitely doesn't feel set up correctly
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: hashtags-style tagging is useful if done with caution
#
petermolnar
useful on some silos, but if you can combine it with fulltext search it's meaningless, in my opinion
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: don't combine it with fulltext search on your website then
#
ShaneHudson
Oh, if you mean b has full-text search then I'm using c
#
petermolnar
currently I'm trying to reduce the number of tags on my site, as it's nearly the same number as the number of posts
#
petermolnar
I need ~generic tags ( example: mailserver ok, postfix ok, but that sould be enough, I don't need policyd as well ) and search option in the elements tagged with that
#
petermolnar
that is why I was thinking to go with c)
#
ShaneHudson
Or you could use full-text search against a list of tags. That way adding a new tag doesn't require adding to each post
#
KartikPrabhu
tag recommendations
#
petermolnar
do we have a page for that?
#
KartikPrabhu
wouldbe nice to have tag suggestions in micropub client

Yeah, people don't realise that it isn't an indieweb principle though. Most of us do use databases, it is just a warning really that databases are not long-term viable in the same way text is

you might want to link a few things, like the site death wiki page, just make the statement stronger on how services disappear

by the way, there is an ugly issue with one of the bases if indieweb and that is that technically, we all just rent our domains :/
#
ShaneHudson
Absolutely true, but nothing we can do about that sadly
#

And domains do get stolen (css-tricks for example)

petermolnar: the Namecoin folks say they are gonna solve that. I'm still waiting.
#
petermolnar
I've heard about that, all I can say is I want to believe
#
tommorris
You can register a Namecoin now. The website I found that sells them requires an OpenID to login...
#
tommorris
I wonder if you can login with an OpenID on a website with a Namecoin .bit domain. Because that'd be hilarious.
#
petermolnar

What happened to trello?

Nothing - just need a 'just in case' cron job that keeps a backup. Just in case.
#

Ah, phew. I thought you meant we needed a wonderful journey post for them
#
reedstrm
We have one for github: fallback plan for "ourincrediblejourney' scenario, since out github repos are central to our dev. process.
#
reedstrm
And trello has become core for our larger PM process, so need a disaster plan for that one, too.
#
KevinMarks__
Well, at least with git you have local repositories by default

reedstrm
Right - that parts easy, so the cron there just keeps a complete local checkout, independent of any particular developers working tree.

i dont think that google will cut free access without ample notification. it probably costs them about the same as normal gmail
#
reedstrm
right - the underlying code is'nt going away, they're expanding it for businesses. Heck, Rice uses it for the undergrads.

ohh, i like the post format of bridgy facebook posse
#
ben_thatmustbeme
has the whole article there now correctly. me likey
#
sparverius
btw you know what REALLY helped getting off of google?
#
sparverius
my android phone broke and i used a windows phone i got for almost free
#
sparverius
i got ripped pretty hard from google's ecosystem. turns out microsoft supports a lot of standards
#
ben_thatmustbeme
(almost) free phone is always nice
#
sparverius
yeah the catch being that it was windows phone
#
ben_thatmustbeme
its windows?
#
sparverius
which btw is actually pretty good
#
sparverius
windows phone 8.1
#
KevinMarks_
I did "the web we found" at Le Web
#
ben_thatmustbeme
oh i misread that, thought you said "yeah the catch of being on a windows phone ..." like you were going to tell me the main problem with it
#
ben_thatmustbeme
KevinMarks_ whats that?

ben_thatmustbeme: well windows phone gets a knee jerk "IT SUCKS" reaction which i think is unfair
#
sparverius
having used it for a bit, it does have its rough edges but considering how low priced they are compared to other smartphones, it's a pretty good deal if you need a phone for 3 months
#
ben_thatmustbeme
oh i'm sure, i'm glad to see more competition
#
jjuran
How does one develop for it?
#
jjuran
Are there free/libre dev tools?
#
sparverius
jjuran: visual studio
#
sparverius
it's locked down like ios, unfortunately
#
jjuran
sounds like "no"
#
KevinMarks_
or just make web apps
#
jjuran
Appletried that
#
sparverius
it works pretty well on winpho
#
sparverius
also many windows phone apps are just web apps it turns out
#
jjuran
Or if you mean HTML5 apps as on Firefox OS
#
sparverius
wrapped in a web view
#
jjuran
If I was cool with that I'd consider FFOS first.
#
reedstrm
cyanogenmod, but don't install the gapps, and use stuff from f-droid.org only
#
reedstrm
And if it's not there, help code it :-/
#
jjuran
I have F-Droid on both phones, next step is to root and backup
#
reedstrm
For any given category I try there first
#
@kevinmarks
@dakami do you have a longer-form explanation of this? sounds like a point too subtle for tweet length @evanpro @kragen #indieweb

Really I should just acquire another phone to hack on instead of taking one of my current ones offline

Hi - would you recommend I use withknown on their site or clone idno to my own server. My preference is my own server but I wonder about updates - such as how often the 'main' withknown sites are updated vs the git master repo

ask benwerd for details, but he is doing active development in the open source repository

you can ask people who are self-hosting for how they manage updates

Gest18211 I'm still not sure if I'm ready to commit to WithKnown, but I'm running off the git repo. I may change to a testing/staging and a deployment structure, but I really like running out of the .git repo for two reasons:
#
dlyke
1. Easer to generate patches.
j12t joined the channel

2. I like rapid development cycles for experimental/blog-ish/personal stuff, and I like the idea of Ben saying "oh, yeah, I see that bug" and me running the fix within minutes.
#
bret
you can branch a git tag and run those too right?
#
bret
similar to the zip files, but still tracks
#
dlyke
yeah, I'm sure they'll tag git releases. And/but "git pull" is the easiest way in the world to integrate remote and local changes.

may be because the syndicate-to i use isn't the same as others
#
KevinMarks_
possibly known doesn't have that yet?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
the bit about most are using , but we really shouldn't since , is a valid URL character

ben_thatmustbeme
and there is already a system for post having multiple values

right, saw some of that last night
#
KevinMarks_
the [] in params seems hacky

ben_thatmustbeme
its been standard for a long while

thats how multi-select has worked for quite some time

no, &field=val1&field=val1 is standard

#

traditionally it interacts with channel permissions, but people use it in all sorts of ways
#
rascul
the auto voice idea is interesting
#
bret
puts a + in front of people's names
#
KartikPrabhu
err what's auto voicing?
#
bret
it could serve as an indicator if people have signed into the wiki or not though
#
rascul
set it with chanserv
#
bret
it also serves as an indicator if the persons nick is registered
#
rascul
yeah, gotta register with nickserv for chanserv to put you on access list
#
rascul
downside is that access list will get big
#
bret
is that bad?
#
rascul
probably not in this channel where few are banned

big access lists can get cumbersome if they need to be modified often
