# 00:26 GWG pwcc: I'm having trouble with some code in the Indieweb Post Kinds plugin, would you be able to help?
bret joined the channel
# 00:26 GWG pwcc: I've tried other venues, but so far, no one has been able to figure it out

JonathanNeal joined the channel
# 00:31 GWG pwcc: I'm trying to get a default taxonomy term set if no term is selected in the box. But the code isn't defaulting
# 00:32 GWG Also, if you want to try the plugin in general, feedback is always appreciated on any of my projects. I want to make them better
prtksxna and jden joined the channel
KartikPrabhu and KevinMarks_ joined the channel
# 00:38 GWG pwcc: I was trying to do it by adding the following the function beginning on L58
# 00:38 GWG $terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->id, 'kind');
# 00:38 GWG { wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, 'note', 'kind', true ); }
voxpelli and crystal_ joined the channel
# 00:42 pwcc GWG: in the wp_get_post_terms line $post->id should probably be $post_id
crystal_ joined the channel
# 00:47 pwcc GWG: nothing else is jumping out, sorry.
# 00:49 pwcc GWG: but really clutching at straws. I think it's pretty much an alias.
kronda joined the channel
# 00:53 GWG pwcc: It is. the post version just limits to the 'post' post type.
caseorganic joined the channel
# 00:56 pwcc GWG: sorry i'm not been much use, at work so limited to ideas rather than testing.
KevinMarks__ joined the channel
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 01:00 GWG pwcc: I tried it without the conditional entirely. It didn't work
# 01:04 kylewm Acidnerd: actually not much work has been done around multiple identities. several people have said they consider more than one site to be their "primary personal site"
# 01:05 kylewm Acidnerd: the indieauth solution is generally to use e.g. Indieauth+Github to authorize one site and Indieauth+ Twitter to auth the other
# 01:06 pwcc GWG: Have you tried with the save_post & publish_post running at the default (10, I think) rather than at 5?
# 01:06 aaronpk kylewm: I use GPG to sign in to things as indiewebcat.com
# 01:07 pwcc GWG: The post id may not be known - although I think that would be silly
# 01:07 GWG pwcc: And it is known, because in the previous line, I'm using it to update post_meta
wolftune joined the channel
# 01:08 GWG aaronpk: I have to laugh....I'm sorry.
# 01:12 pwcc GWG: I'll have a tinker and see if I can figure something out.
Aeyoun and Phae joined the channel
# 01:18 KartikPrabhu Acidnerd: kylewm: if one wants to use 2 websites then one can. You'll have to have indieauth setup on both. I don't see the problem? Profile switching in an "app" is to be handled by the app. Don't see the multiple-website issue
# 01:18 aaronpk yeah, it's not really a "problem," you just do it
# 01:19 KartikPrabhu just like there are "apps" that hold both your Twitter and G+ or whatever
dch joined the channel
# 01:20 GWG pwcc: Thank you. I'm just stumped.
# 01:21 GWG pwcc: I realized when we had a WordPress newbie here that I want to accelerate making it easier.

snarfed joined the channel
# 03:56 snarfed pwcc++ for noting that we're still missing micropub for wordpress
# 03:57 snarfed it's been on my todo list for during paternity leave, and i still might, but i'm really the wrong person to do it
iboxifoo joined the channel
Leeky, halorgium, tantek, dch and GWG joined the channel
# 04:34 GWG snarfed, aaronpk: I was thinking that the JSON REST API in WordPress 4.1 would get me half the way there
# 04:38 GWG snarfed: I thought extending it would be easier than starting from scratch.
# 04:38 snarfed GWG: hmm, maybe. the APIs don't overlap though, right?
# 04:39 tantek benwerd++ for fixing the errant p-photo markup in Known!
# 04:39 Loqi tantek: benwerd left you a message 4 hours, 52 minutes ago: Thanks for the photo prods - haven't updated my own site yet. Making so many changes that I'm waiting until the end of the day.
Leeky joined the channel
# 04:42 GWG snarfed: It is possible without it. But there would be a lot of pieces.
# 04:43 snarfed the other catch is, afaik the REST API requires oauth for every request, right?
lukebrooker joined the channel
# 04:51 kylewm there's some non-zero chance that you could use massage wordpress's oauth to work with micropub auth
Leeky joined the channel
# 04:52 GWG kylewm: Has anyone written micropub in php?
# 04:56 gRegor` I think you mean the local blog comments, which don't have an avatar.
# 04:56 gRegor` First two are local comments.
# 04:56 gRegor` Joel's is a bridgy wm
# 04:59 gRegor` Still going back and forth about "likes this" "favorited this" and "retweeted this"
KartikPrabhu and snarfed joined the channel
# 05:08 gRegor` Unfortunately that won't look good at 50px

# 05:22 GWG I don't think I'm up to being the leader on tht.
# 05:24 pwcc GWG: we can't _all_ have imposter syndrome.
# 05:25 pwcc GWG: TBH, I'm time poor at the moment so can't commit to doing anything big.
jonnybarnes joined the channel
# 05:30 GWG pwcc: I'm working on a lot of other things.
# 05:30 GWG I'm not sure if it is imposter syndrome if I'm really not that good.
# 05:35 GWG I think I'm getting better. But I'm nowhere near where I'd like to be."
# 05:35 pwcc GWG: I will look at Ben's form & think about WP data
# 05:36 GWG pwcc: Well, part of the problem is that WordPress doesn't have replies...unless you add my plugin. Which means you have dependencies.
# 05:38 GWG pwcc: I use geodata in a plugin in that format.
Leeky joined the channel
# 05:42 pwcc Is there an iOS micropub client in the works.
vrypan, KevinMarks__ and lukebrooker joined the channel
nloadholtes joined the channel
# 06:05 tantek and am about to mass publish them, but because I "only" show most recent 42 posts on my home page, they won't all show up there
# 06:06 tantek this whole posting likes on my own site is drastically affecting my posting behavior
# 06:06 tantek and making me rethink how many "recent posts" I should put on my site
amblin joined the channel
# 06:07 GWG Maybe you want a different display for them? Outside the normal flow?
# 06:07 tantek that's the thing, no problem with display since I cluster adjacent likes!
# 06:07 tantek also - "outside normal flow" was already studied by Facebook and found to be *LESS* user-effiicient / user-friendly
# 06:09 tantek now let's see what happens with Falcon when I update with +58 posts at once!
# 06:14 pwcc tantek is it possible for each cluster to count as one post in Falcon?
# 06:15 pwcc In terms of pagination that is, tantek?
# 06:16 KartikPrabhu also a better display of clustered likes would be good. In the current format, it is hard to distinguish the diff. likes immediately. Maybe a more list-like like display?
# 06:19 tantek pwcc - will consider different pagination approaches
lukebrooker joined the channel
# 06:20 tantek KartikPrabhu: except that a list of tweets would still take up too much vertical space
# 06:20 tantek the goal is the opposite - to cluster / compress even more
# 06:21 tantek KartikPrabhu: yeah I get the readability challenge - hence I need to keep iterating on clusterd likes presentation
# 06:22 tantek but heck - I'm experimenting with it in public :)
# 06:23 GWG I wanted to implement some auto-approvals.
bret joined the channel
# 06:31 GWG tantek: You mean, close after X days?
# 06:31 tantek yes - I'm getting a 403 trying to do a webmention
# 06:32 GWG Not uncommon to set it up for older documents.
# 06:32 tantek aaronpk - I just got rejected by your webmention endpoint
# 06:33 tantek "The webmention finished processing but there was an error."
# 06:33 tantek "Error: no_mention_found \ \ No link was found from source to target"
KevinMarks_ and Leeky joined the channel
# 06:53 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
almereyda joined the channel
almereyda, halorgium and iboxifoo joined the channel
# 07:09 tantek alright, took me far too long to manually webmention with forms and/or Bridgy to POSSE to Twitter 58 likes in a row
# 07:10 tantek clearly that's an itch that needs to be scratched
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 07:12 tantek almereyda: doubtful - nothing to do with webmention or POSSE in top of that page
Aeyoun joined the channel
# 07:13 almereyda Thanks for the reminder. Has to be rewritten until April 2015, so there's time to calibrate.
# 07:14 tantek almereyda: I don't understand the purpose of that page / URL / site - but that's ok, don't need to. Is that a personal site? is it yours?
cweiske joined the channel
# 07:16 almereyda Text is seeded and Infrastructure maintained by me. TransforMap is the initial cause.
# 07:17 almereyda We just want to scale up with some help from the European Comission.
# 07:17 tantek that's why I autojoin that too - just in case someone pops up there accidentally
# 07:18 tantek (i.e. there are no links to that channel anywhere on the web - so only "guessing" folks find it)
# 07:18 tantek if you start at indiewebcamp.com - you find the right things
# 07:18 almereyda It's already autojoined, but inscription will be postponed until I feel myself more "A list of IRC regulars"
# 07:19 almereyda mäh. *feedingmydogsownfoot* or something. But this will certainly be the last thing tonight. This morning. Whatever.
# 07:20 almereyda tantek: Okay, I'm decided. My tast for #IndieWeb in a #TransforLab context is the gender/queer issue.
eburcat joined the channel
# 07:28 tantek I just bumped my home page to showing most recent 100 posts, now that I'm posting so many likes
# 07:28 tantek could folks try going to tantek.com and tell me if takes more than a second to load and display?
# 07:29 tantek (I'm seeing load/display times of under a second, just wanted confirmation - my home network is not that fast either)
# 07:32 KevinMarks_ We can test it tomorrow if you do your usual like carpet bombing of my hwc tweets
j12t joined the channel
# 07:34 tantek yeah - that # of requests is nothing to be proud of
# 07:35 Loqi KartikPrabhu meant to say: bear: what the hell kind of monster connection are you on?
# 07:35 bear a comcast network in an area with older folks who don't do the internet :)
# 07:36 tantek KevinMarks: and the page is built dynamically from flat file storage *on every load*
# 07:38 tantek KevinMarks: better than that - I'm doing only *three* file read operations to build those 100 posts.
# 07:38 tantek two bim storage files and one index.html template to fill in
# 07:38 tantek oh I suppose two more reads for falcon.php and cassis.js
# 07:39 tantek KartikPrabhu: I've told you that before. one file per bim
Jihaisse joined the channel
# 07:40 KartikPrabhu hmm I am putting each post in its own file... might have to look into performance
# 07:45 KevinMarks_ Each post to my site is a Heroku deploy, which is not fast enough for that posting rate
# 07:45 tantek KartikPrabhu: indeed - one file per post is too much I/O overhead
# 07:45 tantek KevinMarks: each post to my site is an scp ;)
# 07:51 tantek KevinMarks_: meh - VCs wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it
# 07:51 tantek get paid to compromise a non-user-centric design and fail slowly
# 07:51 KevinMarks_ Why can't I communicate with a friend or colleague on any service without knowing the right “name” if I know  them in real life or on another service? Shouldn't I be able to control who can call me after 7pm or on weekends or set a preference for always accepting calls from my wife, partner of company CEOs? Someone please create a universal addressing system, a human DNS of sorts. - SPÂ
# 07:51 tantek KevinMarks_: that sounds like they'd pay for that service
# 07:52 tantek maybe I should launch a premium execs-only version of about-me
# 07:53 tantek also - this is a bit of challenge for the DB crowd (especially WP)
# 07:54 tantek can you generate / display your home page with 100 most recent posts in <64kb in <1s ?
# 07:54 tantek (and isn't all janked up with tons of crazy JS)
# 07:55 tantek vast majority of Google sites / queries take >1s to load
# 07:55 tantek Google's web sites / apps are kind of a joke now perf wise

# 08:17 tantek KevinMarks I take it back, Blogger is dead to the web
loic_m_ joined the channel
# 08:27 KartikPrabhu KevinMarks_ true. also you can still use older templates instead of the new "dynamic views" nonsense
Leeky joined the channel
# 08:33 aaronpk tantek: I'm confused as well about why my site rejected your webmention
# 08:33 aaronpk the only thing I can think of is that you originally had linked to the http URL but sent the https URL as the target
# 08:33 tantek aaronpk - I think it was my error - I linked to the http not https version at first
KevinMarks joined the channel
# 08:34 tantek but I think your site is supposed to accept that

# 08:50 aaronpk premium 1k/yr "about.me" pages is totally possible. i've gotta dig up this link
# 08:51 aaronpk tantek: I don't redirect http->https yet because I haven't solved mixed-content warnings.
# 08:51 aaronpk should I be accepting webmentions when the source URL doesn't match the linked URL anyway?
prtksxna joined the channel
# 08:52 tantek or if you serve from both http and https then you should be accept webmentions on both
# 08:52 tantek hmm - only if a redirect fixes such a mismatch
# 08:53 aaronpk if a redirect *would have* fixed the mismatch if the redirect had been in place even if it isn't?
# 08:53 tantek strictly speaking. though better practices may be possible.

# 08:59 tantek KevinMarks: I have a self-signed cert I use for my admin UI
# 09:00 aaronpk tantek: any reason you aren't upgrading that to a free startssl cert?
# 09:02 aaronpk most of that page doesn't apply if you aren't running your own web server
# 09:02 aaronpk in other words, most of that is handled by the web host
# 09:03 aaronpk maybe that page should be split into two sections: 1) getting an SSL cert and 2) using/installing the SSL cert
# 09:04 tantek social media pro-tip: avoid telling people to "f*** off" - it doesn't really get you advocates.

# 17:10 Acidnerd ahh lol sorry
prtksxna, eburcat and tantek joined the channel
# 17:30 tantek I believe according to original-post-discovery - that will cause a false positive :/
# 17:30 aaronpk the fix was to add a rel-feed link to my replies feed so that bridgy finds the original post that way
# 17:30 tantek do you collection posts show reactions / comments anyway?
# 17:31 Loqi tantek meant to say: do your collection posts show reactions / comments anyway?
# 17:31 aaronpk they don't, but they probably should. must have just been an oversight when I made them
# 17:31 tantek I must admit when I didn't see any place where a like would show up, I was like meh, I can like it later :P
# 17:34 bear @kylewm do you have a source code link for it?
# 17:35 tantek aaronpk, do your collection posts bring in images from tweets?
# 17:36 kylewm I think that the actual image resizing *is* blocking, but i wouldn't expect it to block for 20 seconds
# 17:36 aaronpk yes, the twitter-mf2-shim library finds images in tweets and adds them to the "photo" property
# 17:36 aaronpk so any h-entry that has a photo will have that photo rendered in my collection posts
# 17:38 kylewm bear: I'm thinking maybe I should ditch it and handle resizing/caching myself?
# 17:38 bear yea, I'm looking at that code and I don't see any reason why it should block for the concurrent clients
# 17:38 bear but it does seem like overkill - queue them up and have a worker handle it IMO
# 17:39 tantek aaronpk - that's awesome - assuming you're caching the photos too?
# 17:42 bear @kylewm np - the problem could be deep in the async code or in how the resizing call is being handled, lots of edge cases
# 17:42 aaronpk tantek: no it looks like right now i'm just hotlinking to whatever URL is in the photo property
# 17:42 tantek thus if the tweet is deleted the text is saved but not the photo?
# 17:43 aaronpk I want to use the same mechanism that I'll use to store profile photos though
# 17:43 tantek I would assume so since they delete profile photos
# 17:43 kylewm aaronpk: don't use kylewm's image proxy as a model...it is sucking
# 17:48 tantek tommorris: I think we need something more balanced than that
# 17:48 tantek criticizing approaches rationally / factually should be encouraged
# 17:48 aaronpk i'm testing out deleting a tweet with an image and seeing if the image goes away
# 17:48 aaronpk so far the photo is still there, a minute after the tweet is gone
# 17:49 tantek tommorris: that is, there are some cases where "attack mode on other approaches" can be reasonable / rational / helpful
# 17:49 tommorris tantek: there's a difference between talking to established technical people and talking to non-technical and/or newbies.
# 17:50 tommorris like if you are talking to a non-technical newbie and they say they use Tumblr or Facebook, going on about the evils of silos won't get people excited in the same way as "hey, you know that we've been working on Tumblr-like products but without some of the limitations of Tumblr and some new cool stuff"
# 17:50 tantek I'm trying to figure out how to reword it saying factual feedback and constructive criticism is encouraged in the community, but perhaps engage non-regulars with questions instead of critcism
# 17:50 Loqi tantek meant to say: I'm trying to figure out how to reword it saying factual feedback and constructive criticism is encouraged in the community, but perhaps engage non-regulars with questions instead of criticism

# 18:29 aaronpk do I need to make another collection post from this thread?

# 18:48 tantek the next phase is "draft" which is about consensus more than # of consumers
# 18:48 tantek if we have actual interop across multiple publishers and subscribers we can advance further!
# 18:49 kylewm I can only think of two consumers? shrewdness and emmak's site
# 18:50 kylewm i guess bridgy is technically a consumer for posse-post-discovery
# 18:54 Acidnerd along my experience to implement indieweb i want to form a little node of activist using #indieweb and then have a indie feed reader of our own, where all our info feeds land, is this already doable ?
# 18:55 aaronpk hmm I have three coupons for a year of hosting on bluehost.com, but adding them to the wiki seems like not a good idea

# 19:13 Acidnerd is it a manual process, or is there some kind of protocol that push a list of sites into the reader ?
# 19:14 Acidnerd my idea was to have a bunch of approved indieweb sites that when they publish with for exemple a specific #hashtag it would directly push the content to the reader, but i'm sure you guys have this better said, haha
# 19:15 Acidnerd kylewm, yes just saw it
# 19:15 Acidnerd not sure my known site is ready for
# 19:17 Acidnerd submit, not that i want to right now, but want to make sure it's ready

# 19:47 aaronpk tantek: right now indienews requires crafting a URL to indienews before sending the webmention, so a webmention form only helps with half of that
# 19:47 tantek I found those forms quite useful yesterday when manually sending webmentions
# 19:47 aaronpk especially my forms cause my webmention URLs are so long
# 19:48 tantek instead of THREE (source, target, endpoint) into a curl command line, then copy paste that (four) into a command line
# 19:48 tantek so it actually helps with more like 75% in my experience :)
# 19:49 aaronpk I want to find a better way to submit things to indienews though
# 19:49 aaronpk the other problem right now is you can essentially only submit posts on your own domain
# 19:49 aaronpk like I couldn't do what kevinmarks does with adding #indieweb to tweets to have URLs to things show up here
# 19:50 Acidnerd what if the title of the post + a defined hashtag for the community could help structuring what get posted and not ?
# 19:50 Acidnerd + having all the correct meta
# 19:51 Acidnerd so you could also structure information on the reader at the source
# 19:51 aaronpk oh hey, well one way people could submit not-their content and still own the submission is by submitting bookmark posts
# 19:51 Acidnerd and have something like folders or tags or topics
# 19:51 aaronpk and indienews could use the "bookmark" property for the post rather than the submitter's URL
# 19:52 Acidnerd that would be nice, but then visitors on indienews would first be sent to the bookmark and then visit the source ?
# 19:52 aaronpk no, it would just link to the thing that is bookmarked
# 19:53 aaronpk and could say in small text "submitted by ____" with a link to their bookmark post
# 19:53 Acidnerd so how would one be admitted to post on indienews ? what makes a approved source of bookmarks ?
# 19:53 aaronpk that solves the problem of getting more domains on there, but doesn't solve the problem of needing to craft the URL to use as the webmention target
# 19:54 Acidnerd domains then ok
# 19:54 Acidnerd wouldn't be possible to make one site indienews ready ?
# 19:55 Acidnerd like by adding a permanent necessary format
# 19:55 aaronpk I guess another way of submitting may be to log in and add a URL to a feed of posts you want to submit
realjxn joined the channel
# 19:56 aaronpk so I could say "hey indienews, grab posts from this URL that are tagged #indieweb"
# 19:56 Acidnerd aaronpk, that was my first belief
# 19:57 Acidnerd do you see indienews more as a "reddit' or more as a feed reader ?
# 19:57 aaronpk I'm on Planet Linode, they just post all my articles from my articles atom feed
eschnou joined the channel
# 19:58 aaronpk Acidnerd: originally I saw it more as a reddit (which is why the front page ranks by upvotes) but that has turned out to be less useful because we just don't have the volume of submissions of reddit/hackernews
# 19:58 aaronpk so I want to turn it more into a feed reader format
# 19:59 Acidnerd that would be even better, because would make it all reusable in different context
# 19:59 Acidnerd like yours could be focused #indieweb
# 19:59 Acidnerd but i could open a new instance gather people around me and define what makes them able to push content to my reader
# 20:00 aaronpk huh apparently we had planned on making planet.indiewebcamp.com 2 years ago
# 20:02 Acidnerd i was thinking yesterday night, how this whole idea #indieweb could be the start of something really different on the way data is being structured for consumers : because the content creator can/could adopt structure (hashtags or other rules) at the source and these would then be structured at the beginning of the process of dissemination, so you create, then it get POSSED with correct hashtags to silo's, or sent to specific topic or niche readers t
# 20:02 Acidnerd hat gather communities
# 20:03 Acidnerd not sure i'm making myself readable
# 20:04 Acidnerd but for me it makes all the difference into how one could be aware of new content, if it was structured at the beginning of it's journey
# 20:04 tantek Acidnerd - sounds like the makings of a blog post you should post!
# 20:04 Acidnerd it's like tweeting without a tag, you're only speaking to followers, the moment you tag, then you're structuring information for those that monitor it at least
# 20:04 tantek even such short musing posts are good to quickly publish
# 20:05 Acidnerd sounds like it :)
# 20:05 aaronpk totally! those are some of my favorite posts of mine, I never regret having done that when I go back and look at it later
# 20:06 Acidnerd this stuff i just sent, is my main problem with the info/news projects i run
# 20:06 Acidnerd it's hard to avoid the noise of the web, when information isn't structured

# 23:17 tantek snarfed: re that post "Building Communities with Software" - I don't see any evidence of community at that URL
millette joined the channel
# 23:19 tantek snarfed true! I don't even see any links to any communities either.
# 23:19 gRegor` On the plus side, I don't have to go out in the cold for HWC tonight.
# 23:19 snarfed tantek: he's obviously built a few. stack exchange, the joel on software forums, etc
# 23:19 gRegor` Chicago HWC: Home edition.
# 23:20 snarfed point taken, of course - that blog post's design doesn't necessarily prioritize indieweb ideals - but the *content* is still good
# 23:20 tantek meh - the content is old print-style. not hypertext. not "blog" worthy.
# 23:21 tantek lacking citations (hyperlinks) I'm no longer willing to give it much credibility. he might as well have posted plain text to a usenet forum.
# 23:21 tantek plain text like that is for novels, no longer for science
# 23:22 Loqi tantek meant to say: unlinked text like that is for novels, no longer for science
# 23:22 snarfed i understand where you're coming from. it's a bit harsh, though. there's lots of good writing out there that's not structured in strict citation-based, referential, scientific argument, style
# 23:22 snarfed it's not really about science, anyway, it's about culture
# 23:23 snarfed also - not an excuse - but worth noting that it was published in 2003 :P
# 23:23 tantek in as much as he's attempting reasoning to make points (hypotheses), it's about science
# 23:23 tantek cultural fluff pieces are for grocery store checkout rags
# 23:23 kylewm I'm enjoying reading the article but man, I hate this "If you eliminate the checkbox, people are left with no choice but to check back every once in a while."
# 23:23 snarfed sure. i'm with you, links and more explicit structure would be nice; everything can be improved. still, there's good stuff in there
# 23:24 kylewm context -- the checkbox to "email me if someone replies"
# 23:24 tantek kylewm - yes, that's not user-centric design at all
# 23:24 snarfed tantek: you yourself argue against absolutist thinking, right? so it's not ideal, but it still has some merit
# 23:24 tantek the level of merit it has at this point is so low that I've abandoned mailing lists of equivalent level
# 23:25 KartikPrabhu kylewm: eh I sort of understand his point. The same could be said about "why don't you have comment boxes"
# 23:25 KartikPrabhu snarfed: tantek: of course it need not be true that everyone finds merits in everything :P
# 23:25 tantek snarfed - what perhaps I'm reacting to is the semi-arrogant know-it-all tone of the article - without any citations to back any of it up
# 23:26 snarfed tantek: sure, understood. he's (in)famous for that tone
# 23:26 tantek snarfed, yes, and others mentioned here recently too
# 23:26 gRegor` haha. beer account favoriting HWC tweet. ^
# 23:27 tantek oh my goodness I just had another friend ping me about beer festival tickets because she was like hey you're always organizing those homebrew events right?
# 23:27 gRegor` Tyler (tfontaine in here) still jokes with me about that, though he knows what HWC really is.
# 23:28 tantek plenty of folks in my running group deliberately joke about it that way too
# 23:28 pwcc An easier confusion to deal with than the one you've been handling for the last few days.
# 23:28 tantek straightfaced - so that others of course get the literal misimpression
# 23:29 kylewm KartikPrabhu: about the email checkbox thing, it really bummed me out when facebook took away that option to try and drive more hits to their site. of course if you are building a small community site, it makes more sense
# 23:29 tantek what is the expression for that? sticky eyeballs? or something like that?

# 23:47 tantek the email checkbox thing appears to have gone the complete other direction - that is - notifications for all the things!
# 23:47 tantek and email notification is just *one* possible form you can now receive them
# 23:48 tantek e.g. Twitter keeps adding MORE email notification checkboxes!
# 23:49 kylewm github has the thing (that FB used to have) where you can reply to an email notification

# 23:51 tantek I feel it will be something we'll end up solving again due to the transient personal serve / store-and-forward use-cases.
# 23:51 snarfed the common alternative is to style email notifications to look like "cards," instead of normal emails, so that users naturally click on links to reply instead of replying by email
