# 00:16 tantek I've observed a change in "like" posting behavior since the Bridgy Publish -> FB got deactivated for likes
# 00:16 tantek either using my own site, or directly liking public posts on FB
# 00:17 tantek since I know it won't be something I can (semi)automatically POSSE
snarfed, caseorganic, acegiak and lukebrooker_ joined the channel
# 00:37 snarfed tantek: re like behavior, i commiserate. i actually saw the opposite when i switched from posse (via bridgy publish) to pesos; i like more now
# 00:38 tantek there's already (more) convenient liking UI for PESOSing likes
# 00:39 tantek there might be insurmountable advantages in that way, to using PESOS for likes instead of POSSE.

# 00:51 tantek I can see consuming RSS from a reader perspective being more practical / (perhaps even necessary) than publishing it.
# 00:51 tantek since not all sites have some form of easily semantically consumable HTML
# 00:53 tantek your reader development/usage is far ahead of any of my own, so I'll take your word for it.
# 00:53 tantek I'm still against making publishers do extra work
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 00:54 tantek acegiak: which version of RSS (number / spec URL) do you consider important legacy support?
# 00:55 tantek we should at least capture specifics like that
# 00:55 acegiak tantek: I'm literally using wordpresses built in parser so I have no idea?
# 00:56 acegiak tantek: as far as I can tell: the wordpress news display on the dashboard :/

# 00:58 tantek acegiak - are there people you follow that *only* publish RSS?

# 01:13 acegiak tantek: most of the the people I'm following are tumblr accounts
# 01:16 acegiak kylewm: re:women & newbies on irc. I'm having troubel following hte discussion. Is the problem one of the culture, the structure or the interfaces?
# 01:18 tantek fascinatingly different treatment of emojis in Twitter vs. FB
# 01:19 kylewm acegiak: I think both culture (or expected culture, based on previous experiences or hearing horror storeis) and interface (lots of people saying it was too hard to get started)
trodrigues and shalkydri joined the channel
# 01:21 acegiak kylewm: I feel like this is an extension of the "at some point online chat just got really shitty" conversation we were having
# 01:23 tantek is it possible to build online chat UIs that don't "get really shitty" ?

# 01:25 kylewm is it nice because it's new and hasn't gotten a chance to get really shitty yet?
# 01:25 tantek I mean, same thing was true of Twitter originally

# 01:29 kylewm IRC seems to have wide global acceptance, maybe even skewing european
# 01:30 acegiak I think that IRC actually just needs a really good interface
# 01:32 GWG kylewm: I've been trying IRCCloud. Isn't perfect.
# 01:32 GWG It is the only thing that goes past some firewalls

# 01:45 tantek is there a canonical color for suit-hearts or suit-diamonds?
# 01:45 GWG millette: I was hoping someone had come up with a web interface that was good already.
# 01:46 tantek KevinMarks right - they're colored when embedded as images or a special webfont from Twitter or FB
# 01:48 tantek puts aside the colorizing of unicode characters for now

# 04:09 tjgillies we all own my website man

# 04:13 tjgillies although thats pretty useless because the filename changes everytime the content changes heh
# 04:13 tjgillies ipfs is content addressable
# 04:14 tjgillies you don't want a proxy though
# 04:14 tjgillies the hash is a feature
# 04:14 tjgillies that means that links don't break
# 04:15 tjgillies what is "correct"
# 04:15 bret usually the latest, but your right, an opinion is being expressed
# 04:15 tjgillies i have blog.tylergillies.club point at the latest hash
# 04:17 tjgillies i could have feed.tylergillies.club point at the latest rss hash
# 04:17 bret hosting staic content is super easy already... i'm interested in the hard stuff to host. movies, music, lots of photos
# 04:17 tjgillies those are all static....
# 04:17 tjgillies its the same thing
# 04:19 tjgillies that was at 5am this morning
# 04:20 tjgillies when i couldn't sleep
# 04:20 bret you dont have to worry about if its taking to much on your server with limited and costly storage
# 04:20 tjgillies it works essentially like bit torrent
# 04:20 bret right! where every client is also a potential http gateway
# 04:21 tjgillies you only storage as much as you view
# 04:21 tjgillies unless you're a public gateway
# 04:21 tjgillies in the future people will essentially go to localhost/foo/bar instead of a gateway
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 04:23 tjgillies I think a web model where people serve files locally which are retrieved via a mesh background is inevitable
# 04:23 bret i was thinking, writing a js lib that lets you set html attributes to ipfs hashes, and it links those up with a public gateway
# 04:23 tjgillies Would be fun to make a web browser that had that baked in

# 17:47 Loqi tantek: aaronpk left you a message 11 hours, 59 minutes ago: heh no, my site is blissfully unaware of URL hierarchy
# 17:47 Loqi tantek: aaronpk left you a message 11 hours, 58 minutes ago: I try to use tags for things I think people will care about exploring from given a URL
# 17:47 tantek aaronpk - you had that URL search for posts that link to (URL)
# 17:48 tantek wondering if that includes links to that (URL) or deeper paths
# 17:49 tantek aaronpk - I thought e.g. a search for a domain showed all links to any path in that domain
# 17:50 tantek so that was my question. does the "any URL that starts with" aspect of that work only for domains? or any URL?
# 17:53 tantek because it would be cool if it was for any URL - use-case, you could see all your votes that link to the User Stories page
# 17:53 kylewm description of HATEOAS reads like utopian self-documenting API that never actually works, is it not that?

# 17:53 gRegor` I really don't know. My eyes started to glaze over, so I went back to poking around /Slack
# 17:53 gRegor` I'm really liking it so far.
# 17:55 tantek how does one start a Slack? do we want to experiment with one for IndieWeb?
# 17:55 gRegor` Seems to have decent export options, too. JSON files per-channel, per-day
# 17:56 gRegor` tantek: You sign up at slack.com using your email and "Company Name", then after you get the confirmation email you select the subdomain on slack.com
# 17:56 gRegor` You can then enable auto-signups based on email domain. Otherwise I think you have to manually invite people, which would be the case for indieweb.
# 17:57 gRegor` I don't know if there's a "public" option
# 17:57 gRegor` Hah, @indieauth.com aliases? :)
# 17:58 aaronpk aaronparecki.com@indiewebcamp.com after signing up on the irc-people page
caseorganic joined the channel
# 18:02 aaronpk presumably you'll get an email with a link to create your account
# 18:04 gRegor` Wait, so I have gregorlove.com@indiewebcamp.com? Where does that email go/how?
# 18:04 aaronpk if I make a separate signup page on indiewebcamp.com, you'd log in with indieauth and then you could enter a forwarding email
# 18:05 gRegor` I thought for a second you meant this was working now.
# 18:06 aaronpk alternately I could create an "inbox" you'd see after logging in, but I don't really wanat to store emails for everyone
# 18:06 gRegor` I was going to be super impressed with your hacking skillz
# 18:06 aaronpk yeah I could lok for a rel-me mailto link for starters
# 18:07 aaronpk ugh i'd rather not make people poke around mediawiki settings, this is supposed to make it easier for people remember?
# 18:07 gRegor` rel-me with fallback to MediaWiki account's email maybe
# 18:07 gRegor` Sure, but rather than building a separate form for it. I don't plan to publish my email on my site.
# 18:08 aaronpk i need to make a special page or at least a special login page in order to trigger creating the forwrading rule anyway
# 18:08 gRegor` Slack could be cool for the user-friendliness of it, but it also means conversation split up between here and there.
# 18:09 aaronpk yeah I don't want to require ppl publish their emails for sure
# 18:10 aaronpk the vast majority of wiki accounts do not have an email address set
# 18:11 gRegor` Separate form makes sense, given the forwarding rule setup
# 18:12 aaronpk heh I could pipe all freenode conversation into the Slack room
# 18:12 gRegor` There's settings for Slackbot to do simple responses to prompts, like Loqi
# 18:18 aaronpk okay, so... I can bridge freenode and slack so people can join either one and be part of the same conversation
# 18:18 kylewm aaronpk: you can invite people even if they dont have a @indiewebcamp.com email right?
# 18:18 aaronpk signing up for the Slack room would involve logging in with indieauth
# 18:19 aaronpk kylewm: yeah I can send invites to people at any email address, but there is no way in the Slack UI for people to request access
# 18:19 gRegor` Oh nice, didn't realize there were IRC and XMPP gateways.
tilgovi joined the channel
# 18:20 aaronpk lol yeah you can connect with an IRC client too, just to make things weird
# 18:21 kylewm I wonder if Loqi would still work via the IRC gateway

# 18:24 aaronpk lol "you have not logged in since 2011 when we reset everyone's passwords"

# 19:35 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] well it looks like everyone figured out the signup flow pretty well!

# 19:36 aaronpk I think Loqi will still show wiki edits in Slack too
# 19:37 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] umm... i think i broke it
# 19:37 GWG How do I get indiewebcamp.com emails?
# 19:37 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] <@U03QU365N>: what'd you do?
# 19:38 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] aaronpk++ for Slack integration
# 19:38 Loqi [slack/kylewm] hmm slackbot is asking me for personal information
# 19:38 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] oh yeah slackbot does that after a while
# 19:38 Loqi [slack/caseorganic] gives Loqi a cookie
# 19:39 Loqi [slack/kylewm] lol, it now thinks my full name is "Kyle o_O"
# 19:39 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] I typed "go" to skip the Skype prompt, but it's supposed to be "no" Haha
# 19:39 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] Didn't find my photo :confused:
# 19:42 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] good, commands aren't relayed over
# 19:43 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] from within slack you can subscribe a room to a rss feed
# 19:43 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] which may not be wanted in here
# 19:43 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] aaronpk, can is turn that off? the /feed stuff that is
# 19:43 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] what is tanteking
# 19:44 Loqi Tantek-ing is a method of encouraging people to contribute to the wiki by indirectly prompting the person who first mentioned the term to create a short wiki dfn page for it https://indiewebcamp.com/tanteking
# 19:44 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] oh hm all the Loqi commands won't match from Slack because of the prefix they get in IRC
# 19:44 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] yeah, i figured as much
# 19:44 tantek and because Loqi doesn't respond to Loqi right?
# 19:44 Loqi [slack/kylewm] aaronpk: is it possible to programmatically send people an invitation to their email address? instead of having to set up forwarding for @indiewebcamp.com?
# 19:44 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] I tried a Loqi query and wondered why it didn't show up in IRC. Then realized I was in my work's Slack tab. :simple_smile:
# 19:45 Loqi [slack/caseorganic] Gif playback is SLOW
# 19:46 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] kylewm: what do you mean send an invitation?
# 19:46 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] GIF seems normal here
# 19:46 aaronpk if everyone uses the same nick as in IRC, I can pretty up the logs
# 19:46 Loqi [slack/kylewm] I thought you said as an admin you could add people without them necessarily having the same email domain?
# 19:47 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] kylewm: oh yeah but I'd rather not be a bottleneck for people joining
# 19:48 Loqi [slack/kylewm] aaronpk: I mean, 1. they log in via indieauth, 2. it prompts for an email address, 3. programmatically send an invitation to that email address (instead of giving a link to signup via <mailto:domain@indiewebcamp.com|domain@indiewebcamp.com>)
# 19:48 Loqi [slack/ben.thatmustbe.me] dislikes the look of this all
# 19:49 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] I don't think there's an API method to send invites
# 19:49 tantek hmm looks like logs could show <imageURL> inline

# 20:03 Loqi [slack/kylewm] i'm guessing there are no public logs?
# 20:03 Loqi [slack/tantek] Web slack client is slower than irc client, eg especially scrolling
# 20:03 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] Mostly because I'm used to seeing the person's name first, so now I'm seeing all these Loqi messages.
# 20:03 Loqi [slack/tantek] Scrollback. Not sure what all their JS is doing.
# 20:04 Loqi [slack/tantek] Gregor I agree. Perhaps our logs can make it prettier.
# 20:04 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] hehe, just logged in to slack server via IRC anyway :P
# 20:04 Loqi [slack/gregorlove] Logs, probably. Chatzilla, probably not.
# 20:04 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] this should confuse things, now i get a notification of a message when i speak in either room
# 20:06 gRegor` So what's the use-case for Slack for IWC? For those who want a nicer UI?
# 20:06 tantek gRegor`: perhaps broadening reach to those who have been put-off by IRC or IRC-isms or IRC default behaviors?
# 20:07 Loqi [slack/snarfed] ooh. preferences => advanced options => "When typing code with ```, ENTER should not send the message."
# 20:08 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] hmm, did this stop working?
# 20:09 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] its cleaner for me to use IRC -> slack servers than to talk in the regular #indiewebcamp now though
# 20:09 gRegor` tantek: Agreed. I wonder if Slack is part of the discussion @limedaring is having about IRC, that kylewm commented on yesterday.

# 20:13 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] woah I didn't know slack could sync this seemlessly with irc
# 20:13 tantek until aaronpk adds auto-embedding of .gif .jpg .png URLs
# 20:14 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] ben_thatmustbeme: it's not called IRC
# 20:14 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] that's what it has over web chat
# 20:14 tantek aside: the cassis auto_link function can do that auto-embedding for you
# 20:14 gRegor` Even "web chat" might have some connotations to people, from ye olden days
# 20:14 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] yes because of the negative connotations of IRC
# 20:15 gRegor` "Oh, people making dumb jokes in an AOL room"
# 20:15 aaronpk btw I can change the [slack/aaronpk] thing in IRC i just need some parsable prefix so those messages don't get sent back to slack :P
# 20:15 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] oh god, how do I turn off Firefox’s web notifications?
# 20:16 gRegor` Preferences from the bototm left.
# 20:16 aaronpk the wordpress.org page had some good tips for configuring slack to not be super noisy
# 20:16 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] excellent, thanks guys
# 20:17 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] just noticed in slack, all the irc account are bots
# 20:17 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] this is probably the best way for me
# 20:17 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] I assume its all just one bot
# 20:18 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] ignore freenode/irc and join slack via IRC
# 20:18 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] i cannot see who is in the room anymore though
# 20:18 Loqi [slack/ben_thatmustbeme] as most people are in irc

# 20:23 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] Wish slack would sync my photo across instances
# 20:24 gRegor` Haha. Ben pinged me and it came as a DM on Slack
# 20:25 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] So irc people get faces and Slack ones don't. Indieweb wins again
# 20:26 gRegor` I think someone said their photo auto populated in Slack. Mine didn't though
# 20:26 gRegor` The slack I set up for work did use my gravatar by default.
# 20:27 tantek we need to make consumption of indieweb icons more obvious
ben_thatmustbeme joined the channel
# 20:30 tantek I suppose the question could be phrased in different ways
# 20:30 tantek e.g. given a domain name, what icon should be displayed for it?
# 20:30 tantek or given a URL, what icon should be displayed for it?
# 20:30 tantek or more specifically, given a URL (or just domain name), what icon should be displayed for its author?
krendil joined the channel
# 20:34 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] right, IWC set up in my slack app
# 20:35 tantek there there ben_thatmustbeme, it's in the logs :)
# 20:35 tantek the goal here is to attempt to frame the (icon) question in such a way that sites like Slack feel motivated to implement it
# 20:36 ben_thatmustbeme needs to figure out getting his IRC client to convert <Loqi> [slack/<nick>] to <nick>

# 20:39 rhiaro I was talked into joining slack recently, I only did so on the condition I could connect with my IRC client. I guess if messages are being cross posted here, it would be silly of me to join the indieweb slack channel too..
# 20:40 ben_thatmustbeme rhiaro, its actually really annoying to join both. if you do, every message you type in slack will highlight your name here
# 20:41 rhiaro Slack does *look* nice and my only problem with IRC is that I can't connect to my IRC server with a web client. But a couple of my friends are working on one, so I'm holding out
# 20:42 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] There is a Chrome app I use that connects to multiple irc servers
# 20:43 Loqi [slack/snarfed] huh. in slack, if you hover over a user in the user list, there's an X button
# 20:43 Loqi [slack/snarfed] wonder what that does
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
# 20:44 Loqi [slack/snarfed] just hides them i guess
# 20:45 gRegor` Who here is likely to continue using Slack for IWC, either directly or connecting via IRC?
# 20:45 tantek I noticed that the Slack web UI has a way to "star" individual utterances
# 20:45 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] Looks like I can't change my avatar in the slack android client
# 20:45 gRegor` tantek: Yep, and you can access your stars via the three dot menu at the top right.
# 20:45 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] There's not a lot of reason to connect to this slack room via IRC
# 20:46 gRegor` I'm trying that out as a todo list with my work Slack
# 20:46 Loqi [slack/snarfed] parallels indie liking an irc log line
# 20:46 gRegor` aaronpk: Other than avoiding the "Loqi: [slack/username]" like ben_thatmustbeme mentioned
# 20:47 tantek perhaps a good reason to put a little (heart) icon in our logs inside <indie-action do="like"> ?
# 20:54 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] It's a star, not a heart - implies "save" more than "like"

# 21:02 Loqi [slack/kylewm] ben_thatmustbeme: agree that we're better off buidling outside of a silo, but it's good to check out the competish
# 21:03 Loqi [slack/kylewm] the oembed thing it did with the article Kevinmarks posted above is super nice, would be really nice to have a similar thing for links to h-entry

# 21:06 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] Can we get wiki links to work in slack?
# 21:09 Loqi [slack/kevinmarks] Slack has slash commands like irc
# 21:09 Loqi [slack/kylewm] I assume Slack is using oembed to show the preview?
# 21:10 tantek again, how should we write-up /link-preview such that a consuming application / site like Slack is motivated to support it?
# 21:10 gRegor` Slack is caching images from those previews, too.
# 21:10 tantek theoretically it should be *easier* / less work than consuming / displaying oembed
# 21:11 tantek far more URLs have h-entry / hentry than oembed
# 21:11 gRegor` What is oembed?
# 21:11 gRegor` What is oembed?
# 21:11 gRegor` What is OEmbed?
# 21:13 tantek e.g. I think maybe cweiske was an oembed fan?

# 21:38 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] I love that slack has a good mobile app
# 21:38 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] Never found a decent mobile irc app
# 21:40 Loqi [slack/jonnybarnes] so thats a link in slack, but not irc
# 21:40 aaronpk yeah I couldn't do it in IRC unless I could modify the IRC server
# 21:41 aaronpk that'd only work for people who had the plugins, assuming you're using a client that even has plugins
# 21:43 rascul better option than modifying the server though i think, at least in this specific context
# 21:43 rascul since it wouldn't be able to link up to freenode, and that might not be beneficial to the longevity of this channel
# 21:43 rascul not sure how much being on freenode helps this specific channel though
lukebrooker joined the channel
# 21:45 aaronpk I am pretty pleased that I was able to get people's profile photos from IRC into Slack
# 21:45 tantek rascul all the ident services and channel admin etc. is tied to Freenode AFAIK
# 21:46 rascul tantek indeed, but irc services are not freenode specific
# 21:46 tantek for sure, Freenode has a lot of momentum in open source
# 21:47 tantek when someone names an IRC channel the expectation is "on Freenode"
# 21:47 gRegor` aaronpk: My profile photo didn't come through to slack automatically.
# 21:47 gRegor` Oh, different nick
# 21:47 gRegor` I uploaded mine
# 21:47 aaronpk no I mean the IRC messages in Slack have your photo without you doing anything
# 21:48 gRegor` No they didn't. I uploaded that.
# 21:48 gRegor` It's because I chose a idfferent nick than on irc-people
# 21:54 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] yay not ugly wiki edit lines now

colintedford joined the channel
# 23:40 colintedford snarfed, you have a separate page (or pages) for replies & other "noisy" content that you post, right?
# 23:40 colintedford What are you calling that? (doing something similar & haven't found a good page name)
# 23:42 acegiak anyone done a comparison between slack and convos?
# 23:42 acegiak I think I'm probably unlikely to switch from irssi but I want to know what to recommend to people that I'm trying to lure in
# 23:43 colintedford aaronpk, OK, I see, looking at your page. "Replies" is what I was curious about. Thanks!
# 23:44 colintedford snarfed doesn't link to his; I know it's come up before but can't find it.
# 23:44 Loqi [slack/kylewm] acegiak: I tried out convos last night, it was a nice ui, slow to switch between tabs and still essentially has all the complexity of IRC
# 23:45 Loqi [slack/aaronpk] acegiak: you should try it!
# 23:46 acegiak aaronpk: maybe. signing up for those sorts of services feels a bit icky to me?
# 23:46 Loqi [slack/kylewm] acegiak: slack has no /msg NickServ identify <password>, for one... :simple_smile:
# 23:50 Loqi [slack/kylewm] acegiak: you also get a lot of the features of having an IRC bouncer (logs, seamless transition between desktop and mobile) without setting up ZNC
# 23:50 Loqi [slack/kylewm] (or weechat or quassel or irssi)
# 23:51 colintedford snarfed: Oh, yeah, I remember that. I'm using "discussion" to cover my comments on other sites plus things like the occasional github issue.
# 23:53 colintedford But the name's kinda long. (also, planned to include incoming comments eventually but prolly want to have separate pages for that, too)
# 23:55 Loqi [slack/pwcc] aaronpk yeah, a little bit easier to read too.
# 23:58 Loqi aaronpk@slack: k let's see how that looks
# 23:58 Loqi kevinmarks@slack: Slack uses irc/name so slack/name could work
# 23:59 Loqi aaronpk@slack: that's what it was (with brackets)
# 23:59 Loqi aaronpk@slack: I can also change the name that shows up here to be kylewm/irc instead of irc/kylewm
