GWG
Good evening
#
tantek
good evening GWG! exciting progress on indie-config today thanks to voxpelli - and kylewm's deployment
#
JonathanNeal
I sure wish I had a way to communicate this idea in a document: progressive disclosable content
#
danlyke
kylewm, the HTML side of my status feed at http://www.flutterby.net/status/user/DanLyke has multiple "h-entry"s, one for what would be each RSS entry (ie: http://www.flutterby.net/User:DanLyke_status.rss). https://kylewm.com/services/mf2util only grabs the first one...
#
JonathanNeal
Like “skip to” links.
#
kylewm
danlyke: hmm yeah that endpoint will only parse as a feed if it actually has an h-feed. in woodwind, i call mf2util.interpret_feed explicitly so that it will parse all the entries
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: are you familiar with progressive disclosure as a general UI and content strategy principle?
#
JonathanNeal
not at all. earlier today, i thought of them as .visuallyhidden
#
danlyke
kylewm so I should wrap the "h-entry"s in an "h-feed"? (ie: my <div class="content"> ?)
#
JonathanNeal
I only thought about them as content hidden to the user until revealed by focus or read by screenreader.
#
danlyke
(BTW, making local comments and WebMention comments peers on my system is still on my radar...)
#
tantek
let's see if there's a decent reference for progressive disclosure - as that's quite useful for design & content
#
tantek
(but I repeat myself ;) )
#
aaronpk
eventbrite launched rel=me on user profiles today!
#
tantek
yeah!
carlo_au joined the channel
#
JonathanNeal
is still reading the wikipedia entry.
#
danlyke
kylewm: I guess the question is really one of the function of the h-feed and how I can best support that. I need to spend some more time digesting the Microformats2 docs.
#
JonathanNeal
Now the questions I’m asking myself is … “how do I connect the dots between progressive disclosure and .offscreen:not(:focus)” – this is an the effect I use to disclose content when the user focuses over the element.
#
aaronpk
tantek: sadly I cannot find any link between eventbrite custom URL, canonical URL, and eventbrite user ID
#
aaronpk
so once someone logs in, i have no way of knowing if it was the person I expected
#
aaronpk
my account apparently has a user ID of 1848322318, profile URL of http://www.eventbrite.com/o/aaron-parecki-7917823488 and custom URL of http://aaronpk.eventbrite.com
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
tantek
and no links between them?
#
aaronpk
ah it's because user != organizer
#
aaronpk
my account has 3 organizers, one of which is http://www.eventbrite.com/o/aaron-parecki-7917823488
#
JonathanNeal
“How do I connect the dots between progressive disclosure and the effect of content being read to screen readers but not necessarily visually” … still thinking about this one.
#
aaronpk
i don't know what the other two are because they have no name
#
aaronpk
my understanding of the API is that it's possible that more than on user could have admin privileges of an organizer account
#
aaronpk
oops nope!
#
aaronpk
"An Eventbrite user can have multiple Organizers associated with accounts, and individual events are associated with Users and Organizers (optionally). Currently, Organizers can not be ‘shared’ across Users or have multiple User owners."
#
aaronpk
okay so given a user who logs in, I can check if any of the associated organizers are the one i'm looking for
#
aaronpk
I can proceed :)
KartikPrabhu1 joined the channel
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: you have to let go of "content being read to screen readers but not necessarily visually" <-- that's you getting sucked back into bad framing
#
tantek
the "not necessarily visually" part
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: by using progressive enhancement? have usual <a> links with title for the undisclosed content, then is JS is available disclose content with Ajaxing it
#
tantek
what is progressive enhancement?
#
tantek
what is AJAX?
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: by using progressive disclosure
#
JonathanNeal
For instance, when you visit https://github.com/ and press tab.
#
JonathanNeal
The “skip to main content” link is revealed.
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: right. So i would have a "skip to main content" visible as default. then if JS is active, I hide it and reveal it only on Tab
shiflett_ joined the channel
#
JonathanNeal
That’s a common, expected interaction to have if you’re navigating a site with your keyboard, and it’s especially useful if that’s your primary way of skipping heading content and diving straight into the page’s main content.
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: oh okay, you wouldn’t need JavaScript to hide it, since it would not rely on JavaScript to be revealed.
#
JonathanNeal
For most browsers on most OS’s, with JavaScript off, you can expect the tab key to move you between links.
#
KartikPrabhu
so the trouble you are having is if you hide with CSS using display:none and reveal on :focus then it is also lost to screenreaders
shiflet__ joined the channel
#
JonathanNeal
@KartikPrabhu the problem I have is that I need to communicate when something is not yet disclosed to the user visually.
shiflett joined the channel
#
JonathanNeal
But it is content and it is ready to be absorbed.
shiflett_ joined the channel
#
JonathanNeal
I am having a hard time disconnecting it from the experience, Tantek.
#
JonathanNeal
I hope the aha moment comes sooner than later. I have a deeper purpose to this. I really want to update reset.css.
#
JonathanNeal
And as part of that, I want to move some of these really useful helper classes we all use to something semantically more true.
#
JonathanNeal
So, aria-hidden is supposed to describe something that is not (or not yet) disclosed to the visitor.
#
JonathanNeal
And of course now we have a plain old hidden attribute.
#
JonathanNeal
However, this doesn’t accurately describe something that is not yet disclosed to the user, but is still accessible.
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: that's because it's too high level a conversation
#
tantek
without a specific real world example, it's hard to pursue a solution
#
JonathanNeal
Yes. Thanks twice now for making sense of things.
#
tantek
JonathanNeal: since you're back here now, go ahead and start your User: page and what you're itching / working on (e.g. like figuring out progressive disclosure content stuff) https://indiewebcamp.com/wikifying#Wikify_yourself

I'm at the crunchies and wondering why

#
snarfed
!tell gRegor` sorry for the bridgy publish surprise, and thanks for the docs nudge. added to my todo list
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG
I just filed a request for Post Kinds to be reviewed for the Wordpress.org repository
#
prtksxna
GWG: Awesome! Link?
nloadholtes joined the channel
#
GWG
prtksxna: I applied
#
GWG
prtksxna: They have 109 plugins in their queue for approval
#
GWG
prtksxna: I did make a bunch of improvements
snarfed joined the channel
#
GWG
I wonder what they'll say
#
prtksxna
GWG: I feel the need for 3 distinct types of meta data in Wordpress. 1) Post Kind - reply, repost etc. 2) Post Type - post, bookmark, image etc, and 3) Geolocation which they already have
#
prtksxna
GWG: I am not familiar with their architecture comm. Not sure how changes like these get evaluated.
#
GWG
prtksxna: So you are suggesting that I should have used custom post types in WordPress in addition to custom taxonomies?
#
aaronpk
anything relevant happening at the crunchies?
#
prtksxna
GWG: I don't think you can extend custom post types
#
prtksxna
GWG: And from what I understand they aren't to excited about the feature anymore
#
GWG
prtksxna: No one seems excited about post formats either, alas
#
prtksxna
Sorry, I mean post formats.
#
prtksxna
I misunderstood you.
#
prtksxna
Sorry. I don't think these should be custom post types, they should all be "posts" and hopefully have formats (which as you said is not being pursued)
#
GWG
prtksxna: Well, I consider post kinds to be a replacement for post formats. I don't think they both need to be used.
#
prtksxna
post kinds? post types?
#
GWG
prtksxna: I think we're having terminology confusion
#
prtksxna
Me too. Link to the codex?
#
GWG
prtksxna: Post Formats and Custom Post Types are WordPress elements
#
GWG
prtksxna: Post Kinds is the plugin I created
#
prtksxna
Post Formats <- Quote, chat etc. and Post Types <- Pages, attachments etc.
#
prtksxna
And there are no "Custom" post formats (which sucks)
#
GWG
prtksxna: That's why I had to create a new taxonomy that could be customized.
#
prtksxna
Right, but your plugin - Post Kind - handles stuff like reply and repost, right?
#
GWG
prtksxna: Yes, but it also has an option for article, note, and photo...
#
prtksxna
I think that should be distinct from a plugin that takes care of formats like check-ins. This would allow me to reply to your blog post by checking into the restaurant you were praising (for example)
#
GWG
prtksxna: That would be a multi-kind option
#
prtksxna
GWG: Oh. I just think of them as distinct plugins and boxes in the UI.
#
prtksxna
GWG: Clarity and separation of concerns (just my personal opinion)
tantek joined the channel
#
GWG
prtksxna: I don't think that checking in is a form of reply.
#
GWG
prtksxna: But to each their own
#
GWG
prtksxna: I have some ideas for RSVP and Check-In, which as of now, I'm not really supporting.
#
prtksxna
GWG: Right, I know some people would disagree, but I like the idea :)

Hey, does anyone know anything about Ethereum? (ethereum.org) The indiewebcamp wiki about it seems outdated
#
almereyda
What do you need to know?
#
rhiaro
Hi almereyda! I'm not sure really, just had an email from them asking if they can be at indiewebcamp in Edinburgh in July. I haven't come across them before
#
rhiaro
My immediate reaction is that they should update the indiewebcamp wiki for themselves as a start
#
GWG
rhiaro: There was someone in here the other day mentioning it

rhiaro
checks logs

I remember suggesting they contact the organizer if they were interested in more information about the event.

rhiaro
aha okay
caseorganic joined the channel

rhiaro
I can only find stuff in the logs from April containing "ethereum"

Well, it's this blockchain based micro-contract platform that i.e. Primavera and many others are putting a lot of hope in.
#
almereyda
You may want to invite them, indeed.
#
rhiaro
Definitely interesting to talk to them for sure. A lot of the crypto stuff is beyond me, and I suspect out of scope for core indieweb goals, but still relevant
#
almereyda
Well, we still have to find out how we bridge Web and Blockchain world, for example. That'd be my starter.

I'm wondering if NUX is something that belongs in the wiki
#
gRegor`
aaronpk: Some of those 'other mentions' on that article are pretty messy. Are those all pingbacks showing full content for some reason?
#
aaronpk
yeah, something is wrong with the comments-presentation library
#
aaronpk
i think i missed one of the steps
#
gRegor`
Oh, hm. Looks like the mf on one of the referencing blogs is off. All the content goes in 'name' http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraymondhlee.wordpress.com%2F2014%2F12%2F21%2Fimplementing-oauth2-with-spring-security%2F
#
tantek
what is NUX?
#
aaronpk
gRegor`: yeah that's the part of the algorithm i missed :)
#
gRegor`
I need to revisit /comments-presentation. I don't think I even fall back on p-name currently.
#
aaronpk
i think once i do that it'll work great
#
gRegor`
Hasn't caused a problem for me yet, but for completeness.
#
aaronpk
luckily it's all in the php comments library so i don't have to re-implement it everywhere
#
gRegor`
Nice
#
aaronpk
you probably don't proxy pingbacks to webmentions then ;)
#
gRegor`
I do, just haven't received pingbacks yet I guess. Or I didn't implement it right :)
#
tantek
aaronpk - that excessively long p-name is likely due to the out-of-date impying properties for classic microformats
#
tantek
which we resolved at the microformats meetup we wouldn't do
zapster joined the channel
#
aaronpk
ohhhh right
#
aaronpk
that will also help

#
GWG
What is NUX?
#
Loqi
NUX is short for New User Experience and is the process of designing with a focus on new users not necessarily familiar usage https://indiewebcamp.com/NUX
#
tantek
GWG isn't that WordPress specific though?
#
tantek
NUX is not a general term AFAIK
#
GWG
tantek: I can cite a few examples
#
tantek
BTW - pro tip: avoid naming things "new something" because everything new becomes old eventually. Unless you really can't think of a name, or expect the change to happen on a long enough time scale (centuries) that it doesn't matter.
#
GWG
Sorry about that. Got the search box.
#
tantek
ohhhhh it's (new user) experience, not new (user experience)
#
tantek
and here I thought that was called "onboarding" :P
#
tantek
what is onboarding
#
Loqi
Onboarding refers to the first experience a user has when installing, configuring, and first logging into an application https://indiewebcamp.com/onboarding
#
tantek
is NUX just an alias for onboarding?
#
GWG
Onboarding refers to the experience
#
tantek
so does NUX
#
GWG
NUX would be planning onboarding, wouldn't it?
#
GWG
It is planning with that in mind.
#
tantek
what? no, doesn' the X = experience?
#
tantek
nowhere does anyone say "planning" about NUX
#
tommorris.org
created /OpenStreetMap (+1864) "new page (prompted by tantek)"
(view diff)
#
GWG
UX is using short for User Experience and is usually referring to a design focus
#
tantek
if it's "what is the experience that a new user has?" then that's actual *usage* not planning thereof
#
GWG
So, therefore, wouldn't NUX also be a design focus?
#
GWG
That was how I was reading it
#
tantek
GWG, it's ambiguous
#
tantek
NUX is a bad term
#
tommorris
just attempted to type “onboarding” and instead typed “onbearding”.
#
tantek
because it could mean a brand new 2015 user experience
#
tantek
OR it could mean, what does a "new user" experience
#
tantek
which are two totally different things
#
GWG
tantek: Then I have an idea.
#
gRegor`
I think I prefer the term onboarding, too

So I'm really surprised the aforementioned Quora article is available without being signed in. Anyone know if Quora changed that recently, or is it like "X free views"?

onboarding stinks as a word. there’s already a good term for getting on board: embarking.
#
GWG
And that is definitely an issue for newcomers to this community.
#
tantek
tommorris: I think onboarding is a good *separate* term for the context of "onto a site", as opposed to "onto a vehicle"
#
GWG
So, how do we onboard people to IndieWebCamp?
#
GWG
I keep going back to how we make it easier for newcomers.
#
tantek
GWG what is getting started?

@tommorris
Meet the word 'embarking': getting on board a ship. You now never have to say 'onboarding' again, much to my relief.

ben_thatmustbeme
so thinking about sponsors in the area for IWC Cambridge, Google campus is close by, does anyone know if we have a contact for the previous sponsorship they did?
#
gRegor`
I will, tantek
#
tantek
ben_thatmustbeme: are you tracking a list of current sponsors somewhere?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i don't have a list currently
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i had been trying to find another co-organizer first
#
ben_thatmustbeme
but no one is stepping up
#
tantek
your host is another
#
tantek
and I'm doing what I can as a secondary organizer too with the wiki page(s), letting you take the lead ;)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
but in the footer of the wiki lists sponsors for previous events, and lists google
#
ben_thatmustbeme
thanks, i just wish there were notes on everything that has needed to be done for one in the past
#
tantek
typically past IWC events have an organizer section / page also
#
tantek
where we've kept such notes

there was a page for in on IWCCambridge 2014, but it was never used
#
tantek
thus step 1, compare IWCC 2014 and 2015 pages, and copy missing stuff over to 2015
#

my flight leaves boston at 8am

ben_thatmustbeme: see if you can reach out all previous attendees too https://indiewebcamp.com/2014/Cambridge/Guest_List

i will be remote on the plane, and then at the seattle airport the first day
#
tantek
ah ok

hmm - brennan didn't make it AFAIK

kylewm: tantek left you a message 34 seconds ago: if you post an indie event + FB POSSE copy, for the upcoming HWC SF, I'll invite a bunch of folks to it
#
tantek
ben_thatmustbeme: one of the biggest challenges to an IWC organizer is getting the word out - which is still done the tried and true classical way - direct contact with previous participants, and people you think may be interested
#
tantek
definitely requires some messaging legwork
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i'm jumping in on that starting today
#
tantek
great - that's a good plan to go a month out like that to give people a better chance of planning travel etc.
#
tantek
aaronpk - could you post an indie event for IWC Cambridge and a FB POSSE copy, making ben_thatmustbeme, myself, sandro co-organizers of the FB event?

@willowbl00 I don't know that I ever saw the results from your video on what is the indieweb. Did you ever finish… (https://ben.thatmustbe.me/note/2015/2/6/3/)

#

i will fix that

tantek
ben_thatmustbeme: aww you buried the lede https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bury_the_lede#Types
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i thought i could fit it all in, i failed
#
tantek
wait - your posting system doesn't preview what will get POSSEd?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
no, it just uses bridgy after the fact, i need to update it to at least show me a count
#
tantek
what's your backend written in?
#
tantek
if you want you can use the cassis.js functions in the front end to do tweet length estimation
#
tantek
and show a counter (chars left) just like Twitter does
#
mattl.us
edited /2015/Cambridge/Guest_List (+268) "/* Participants */"
(view diff)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
its all php on the backend
#
tantek
you can do it both places with cassis then ;)
#
aaronpk
oh nice
#
tantek
the key functions are tw_text_proxy() which gives you an actual-tweet-length equivalent string for a post
#
tantek
and then note_length_check() which lets you know how well a tweet "fits"
#
tantek
the simple "just call one function" is tw_length_check()

hmm, I am tempted to throw together an event for next Wednesday in Montreal, short notice... but I had a few people in mind already.

should I go for it?

renoirb, would you be interested in having a Montreal event https://indiewebcamp.com/events/2015-02-11-homebrew-website-club ?
#

aaronpk, can I just add the city to the wiki page for now? I have to finish a bit of unrelated work

#

funny thing is, it's been repeatedly said that debating (federated) identity systems is out-of-scope for the Social Web WG
#
tantek
so I'd say postpone work on that til after Social Web / IndieWebCamp Cambridge
#
tantek
we know that federated indieauth *can* work, and that's all you need for any questions that might come up at the Social Web WG
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
aaronpk
also the demo i will be doing doesn't use indieauth.com for its login, so it actually is doing federated indieauth properly
#
aaronpk
like if you go log in to quill.p3k.io it'll use the auth server you point to. doesn't have to be indieauth.com
#
tantek
great!
#
renoirb
why not
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk, you have another auth client?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
err, auth service i mean
#
aaronpk
not service, just a library
#
cweiske
my indieauth openid bridge can be used
#
cweiske
<link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="http://indieauth.id.cweiske.de/" />
#
ben_thatmustbeme
ah, i was going to say, if you need a second site to test, my site, mp-client, and micropub app, all assume that you might not be using indieauth.com

#
tantek
what happened there?!? the t.co URL collided with the btmb permashortcitation
#
tantek
someone's code forgot a trailing space before the permashortcitation?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
there are 2 <br> tags on my site
#
ben_thatmustbeme
that should and newlines in the html
#
tantek
nested tags don't count in any p-* properties
#
ben_thatmustbeme
that should translate to at least one space
#
tantek
that was POSSEd with Bridgy Publish right¿
#
tantek
maybe Bridgy Publish issue?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
perhaps it just replaces "\n" with ""
#
ben_thatmustbeme
leading to it cramming them together when the <br> tags are removed
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and "\t" would have to be dropped too

ben_thatmustbeme: re bridgy publish and tweet char counting, you've seen the interactive publish form on your user page, right?
#
snarfed
it lets you preview before actually tweeting
#
snarfed
re the newline formatting, looks like it's because there's no whitespace between the wiki link and the <br>s
friedcell joined the channel
#
snarfed
arguably a bug in our link detector
#
ben_thatmustbeme
snarfed, there no "Space" character, there are non-space whitespace characters though

snarfed
ben_thatmustbeme: oh interesting
#
ben_thatmustbeme
actually, no, you are correct
#

huh. ok. we'll try to handle that, but just a heads up, exotic chars like that will often get you unexpected behavior from other consumers too

(but you probably already knew that)
