# 00:25 kylewm not necessarily nice or friendly, but totally legal right?
# 00:26 aaronpk I dunno "ripoff" implies at leat something is changed
# 00:26 bret i mean, anyone can offer Wordpress hosting no?
# 00:27 aaronpk well congrats benwerd and erinjo! i'd say someone copying the project wholesale is a sign of success

# 00:32 kylewm will it freak him out if we all welcome him to the indieweb?
# 00:32 aaronpk we could all compliment him on how nice his site looks and how original it is
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 00:57 danlyke So I wonder if the folks RTing that are bothering to resolve the full URL, or just not noticing the ///
# 01:05 kylewm wait a sec, this is a Jekyll site statically rendering comments from webmention.io?

# 02:48 gRegor` Is it the Twitter API or Bridgy that automatically adds the @username when you're replying? (if you leave it out of the original note)
verdi_ and snarfed joined the channel
# 02:54 snarfed simce twitter requires a mention of the original author
# 03:01 gRegor` I'm adding the auto-@ to my local code, so I can just paste a twitter link and type the note
# 03:02 gRegor` Realizing my code should also skip trying to find webmention endpoints on twitter.com, heh

# 06:05 aaronpk there's a fascinating discussion going on on the indiebox mailing list, and I kind of want to chime in but I don't want to write an email
sysfu joined the channel
# 06:06 aaronpk considering how hard it would be to write a reply on my website and manually POSSE it to the mailing list, and if it's worth it
# 06:06 GWG aaronpk: Isn't that always the case?
# 06:06 GWG The barrier is always how much of a pain it would be
# 06:06 aaronpk of course I click on the link in the email that says "view this conversation on the web" and it takes me to the google groups home page
# 06:06 GWG Isn't this community about frictionless?
# 06:07 aaronpk yeah frictionless is ideal, but i'm willing to put in a few manual steps in the mean time, as i demonstrate plenty often
# 06:13 GWG aaronpk: Why do you think the watch thing interests me? Low barrier.

# 16:30 tantek looks like Twitter needs JS to work for their "Favorite" buttons to work
# 16:31 tantek I kinda don't want to enable Twitter JS just for favorite buttons (which should just be buttons that do an HTTP POST)
# 16:31 tantek and would rather put in the extra work of creating "like/favorite" posts on my own site, and have Falcon POSSE those favorites to Twitter instead.
# 16:34 snarfed feel free to use bridgy publish as a stepping stone for the actual twitter api call, of course
# 16:40 tantek another awesome effect of NoScript - No ugly Disqus comments to look at
brianloveswords and Sebastien-L joined the channel
# 16:49 GWG tantek: I was thinking about this last night in terms of principles. Is simplicity a principle? I think it is important that the tools you build lower the time and effort it takes to add content.
# 16:49 GWG This was when aaronpk was commenting on not wanting to make the effort to do a more involved manual POSSE.
snarfed joined the channel
# 16:56 kylewm simplicity of maintenance is also important, possibly that should go under longevity
# 16:57 GWG Is it maintenance simplicity, or simplicity of use?
# 16:58 tantek GWG, simplicity is part of design/UX - that's correct
# 16:59 tantek kylewm - you're right too, it affects longevity
npdoty joined the channel
# 16:59 tantek but the point is, in both those cases, simplicity is a means, not an ends
# 16:59 tantek hence it's not an explicit principle in and of itself
# 16:59 tantek but rather a technique for implementing many other principles
# 17:00 GWG I think that too many people though, including myself, complicate things.
# 17:01 GWG It's one of the things I admire about Bridgy. It is complex, but using it doesn't have to be.

# 17:58 aaronpk oh wow ran out of twilio money on the indiewebcamp sms number
# 18:00 aaronpk not a lot of usage, mostly just the $1/mo that the number itself costs
# 18:08 gRegor` Forgot there was IWC Online this past weekend. How did that go?
# 18:10 gRegor` No, that's why I'm asking :)
# 18:10 gRegor` I saw there's a video, but don't have a spare 3 hours currently
# 18:10 GWG Well, it went well for a first effort. Lots of interesting talk
# 18:11 gRegor` Good. Any cool demos?
# 18:12 GWG gRegor`: Most of the accomplishments were small. ben_thatmustbeme made some minor improvements to his Micropub, I rewrote my comments plugin, and aaronpk wrote notes from our Micropub discussion
# 18:16 GWG I agree with that. Although I think thedod is a bit gung ho, I did enjoy the security discussion.
# 18:16 aaronpk I couldn't help myself. Had to manually posse a reply to that email thread
eschnou joined the channel
# 18:18 GWG ben_thatmustbeme: Yes. I was talking about in comparison to most people here. But, I still want that microformats designation about privacy as a building block.
# 18:19 ben_thatmustbeme certainly, I had looked at that some time ago, as soon as you start private messaging and particularly the server-server communication it becomes pretty important
# 18:23 GWG He's spent a lot of time thinking about this sort of thing.
# 18:24 gRegor` I'll have to read the logs from Saturday
j12t joined the channel
# 18:24 gRegor` Er, Sunday. Whenever it was :)
# 18:27 ben_thatmustbeme so far i've gotten my thoughts organized to 3 main types of posts text, file, and link. and then everything falls under those
# 18:28 tantek ben_thatmustbeme: am busy in social wg telcon. please ask after 11:15am :)

# 18:35 tantek question is, what of it would be interesting to you personally on your site
# 18:36 aaronpk i think a lot of it can be encompassed with a more generic mechanism to add/remove things from lists
# 18:37 ben_thatmustbeme contact list management is something i've been itching to work on, i'd love to use that mainly, also direct messaging, don't care about the post format, just send a message to aaronparaki.com and here is the content of the message
# 18:37 Loqi Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
reedstrm joined the channel
# 18:37 ben_thatmustbeme hadn't thought about doing contacts through micropub, but it would certainly be useful
# 18:38 ben_thatmustbeme aaronpk, i'm thinking micropub will quickly be turning into a full read/write api, not just write as were its origins
# 18:38 aaronpk that was always the intent, just had to start somewhere :)
# 18:39 ben_thatmustbeme we might want to think about some of the implications that will create, ?q= will get cluttered very quickly is my worry
# 18:39 ben_thatmustbeme i still think json is the way to go over URL encoding, especially if we start doing the autocomplete stuff
# 18:41 ben_thatmustbeme actually I can't say it doubles, I think its actually much worse than that when you start to add structure
# 18:43 aaronpk yeah but honestly a few extra bytes is not a dealbreaker
Sebastien-L joined the channel
# 18:44 aaronpk i mean even a super large response that could be 2kb is not gonna kill things if it's 6kb
# 18:45 aaronpk and mostly we're gonna be talking about responses in the <1kb range
chrissaad joined the channel
# 18:48 ben_thatmustbeme so long as we keep structure low, i'd agree. If we start returning a full contact list with data, then its going to get ugly
# 18:48 aaronpk if we're returning data that goes in an h-card, why not just return an h-card
# 18:49 ben_thatmustbeme hah. honestly, if I were able to poll my MP api from JS directly, I would care more. I have to go through a call to the local server anyway though, so Its already going through PHP
# 18:49 aaronpk i think JS-only apps are mostly a myth at this point. turns out the real world is more complicated than that

# 19:54 kylewm is it a little awkward to POSSE to a private mailing list?
# 19:55 kylewm yeah, try clicking the link in Private window
# 19:55 aaronpk so this is an example of why it's important to indicate the audience of posts
# 19:56 aaronpk nothing in the google groups interface indicates that it's a private group
# 19:57 tantek kylewm: could you capture that (how to POSSE copies to private mailing list) as an issue in /email ?
# 19:58 tantek aaronpk, that's also work capturing as an issue on /email - lack of indicating private group / message
# 19:58 aaronpk so ideally my post would be a private post that anyone in the google group could see
# 19:58 aaronpk yeah good point. the email also doesn't indicate it's private
# 19:58 tantek I think it's fine that you post something *publicly* and then also send it to a private mailing list
# 19:58 tantek but that's where reply-contexts get tricky ;)
# 19:58 tantek since presumably those would come from a private source
# 19:59 tantek hast to run to lunch - but great issues guys!
# 19:59 tantek really likes seeing the expansion of how to POSSE to email

# 23:15 gRegor` Yeah. I wonder how much easier it will make it.
# 23:16 gRegor` Particularly curious about the "automated" part
# 23:16 aaronpk loks like they're developing a protocol for requesting/signing certs from their cert authority
# 23:17 aaronpk so the web server can just do it automatically instead of requiring the person to go through some horrible web UI and figure out what boxes to check
# 23:17 gRegor` "certificate management software running on web servers" like how easy is it for the average person to get their software set up on the server?
# 23:17 aaronpk and the other part is automating the installation of it in apache/nginx, which sounds like they'll modify config files for you
# 23:19 aaronpk i'm very glad someone that isn't me is working on this
# 23:23 gRegor` The agent maintaining the private key on the server could be a problem. Not trying to shoot it down; overall it does sound pretty good.
