How's the map?
#
prtksxna
GWG: The map looks nice. You could also consider using MapBox or Stamen tiles.

GWG
prtksxna: I was trying to find something that was pulling from OSM because I didn't want to get into API keys and such
#
prtksxna
GWG: For stamen you'll just have to change the URL for the tiles. No API keys involved.
#
GWG
Okay.
#

I didn't write the map generation code, but I might do that.

#
GWG
prtksxna: Any thoughts on location aware WordPress while you are here?
#
prtksxna
GWG: Location aware Wordpress? I am not familiar with what that is.
#
GWG
prtksxna: WordPress doesn't have location built in by default
#
GWG
prtksxna: I'm working on a plugin
#
prtksxna
It sort of does. I mean they have a dedicated column for it. The mobile app even uses it.
j12t joined the channel
#
GWG
prtksxna: They have a geodata format. Not built in support
#
prtksxna
Not a dedicated column…the normal meta data column I think
#
GWG
I use their geodata keys in meta data
#
GWG
But there's no interface
#
prtksxna
Yeah. No interface on desktop.
#
prtksxna
The Android app has one.
#
GWG
prtksxna: I'm working on the full package.
#
prtksxna
GWG: :)
#
prtksxna
GWG: I am still tied to the approach of any post type (eg. check-in, photo etc) as a reply. I remember we disagreed on this the last time we spoke.
#
GWG
prtksxna: I'm writing the location awareness as a standalone piece. I am writing check-in functionality separately.
#
GWG
I think that works better
#
GWG
So, check-in would have location as a dependency, but not vice-versa.
#
prtksxna
Yup, that sounds like a good idea. Letting people choose which pieces they want :)
#
GWG
prtksxna: So, the Location plugin is just adding location to posts and pages...and optionally other post types.
marclaporte joined the channel
#
prtksxna
GWG: Right. And it won't affect the view either?
#
GWG
prtksxna: It would optionally affect the view in one of two ways
#
GWG
1. It would optionally add the location to the single page view, either as a map or text line. A note with location is different than a check-in.
#
GWG
2. It would cede that control to the theme, if the theme declared support for it
acegiak and nloadholtes joined the channel

prtksxna
Makes sense.
#
GWG
prtksxna: I keep revising it to try to get it more generic and less specific, but that is where I keep revising it over and over

#
acegiak
gwg: was dis work?
#
GWG
acegiak: That's what I use now. I tried IRCCloud for two months, but I still prefer rolling my own solution.
#
GWG
acegiak: I blame tantek.
#
acegiak
I think that's a common thread for people on here in general
marclaporte joined the channel
#
GWG
acegiak: It was at IWC Cambridge
#
GWG
He mentioned that there were too many post kinds
#
GWG
At least for new users.
#
GWG
So, I made a default list and a setting to add more. I need to tweak it a bit, but...
#
GWG
acegiak: I figured you might update and say, "Where's my kind?"
#
acegiak
I feel like it's weird to be making that decision if it's not a problem we're having ourselves
#
acegiak
but I'm happy to add my own kinds back in
#
GWG
acegiak: I actually want to write a better settings page for it where you can select which ones you want in the picker.
#
GWG
I'm going back to it after I finish what I'm working on.
#
acegiak
I say "random thing" you say "kink"

Anyone have any thoughts on this proposal? https://github.com/h5bp/lazyweb-requests/issues/172

Seems like a good idea to me. Although it does mean less direct association of content in the page.
scor joined the channel
#
aaronpk
kind of goes against the whole visible data first thing
#
aaronpk
although I just did something similar on my site
#
aaronpk
i have rel="alternate" type="application/json" with a link to a microformats-parsed JSON document
scor joined the channel
#
aaronpk
it's at the top of any of my pages. really all it does is just write a link to the pin13 microformats parser, but it could just as well hve been a document generated by my site
#
Garbee
Yea, visible by default is one problem. Since this is a whole extra request and you need to know to make the call.
#
aaronpk
i added the link tag to make a point, that you can get a JSON version of my pages very easily

good morning

#
aaronpk
morning
#
ben_thatmustbeme
hey aaronpk, I wanted to run a micropub idea by you
#
ben_thatmustbeme
micropub to post a tag
#
ben_thatmustbeme
within a photo... which requires adding an area tag with added properties
#
aaronpk
updating a photo to add a tag?
eschnou joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
well its the same, posted a photo with a person tag, or posting a tag of someone else's photo
#
ben_thatmustbeme
how would we set coords and shape for example, the mapping isn't so simple
#
aaronpk
do we have a microformats2 example of photo tagging with xy coords?
#
aaronpk
i thought i rememered some discussion of how the microformats parsers should handle an <area> tag
#
ben_thatmustbeme
just above that link i posted in brainstorming
#
ben_thatmustbeme
so one has actually posted one yet as far as I know
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I was going to get that working but wanted to post first through micropub rather than messing around directly in the DB
#
aaronpk
i mean what should the parsed result of <area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8"... be?
Acidnerd joined the channel
#
aaronpk
i think it will be hard to make a sensible micropub request unless we have a good microformats representation of that kind of tag
#
ben_thatmustbeme
area tag is in the parse rules now, its defined
verdi_ joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme

snarfed and friedcell joined the channel
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Ben, last we chatted about this I think I left you with some questions.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Also this is specifically about area-tags, not tags or person-tags in general.
zachdonovan joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
tantek, yes, it is about area-tags specifically, but there is no reason to post area tags through micropub yet other than person-tagging
wolftune joined the channel
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: The idea was to model what Flickr allows which is to tag an area (rect) of a photo with just a note too.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: It's a key part of owning your flickr export on your own site without dataloss.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Plus even FB allows you to "tag" an area (square) of a photo with text that does not match a person's name, and doesn't link to anything.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
also interesting points, p-category on an area tag can handle that, indeed
#
ben_thatmustbeme
so you are correct, its not just person-tagging
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: It's not even primarily person-tagging
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: You can person-tag without specifying an area
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Eg what kevinmarks already does in his noterlive summary posts.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: (Except we just changed the recommended markup)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
actually, i have issue with that as well, as you should be providing both text and url in one property
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: I can see how that could be a problem.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
which there is no mechanism for in micropub's common markup, you could provide only the url as u-category=<url> but if they don't have an h-card on their site, you don't get the name
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: In that case if their site lacks an h-card you may have to make a proxy h-card for them on your own site and then send that URL to micropub.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
okay, seems like more work than should be needed, but doable
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: It's part of the same structure as a nicknames cache
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and what about generic text that isn't their actual name?
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Though public h-card proxies for people should likely be very minimal like maybe only name and site URL (as uid), and maybe twitter handle/URL if that's something of theirs that you reference.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: In fact you must do that to person tag someone who has a twitter but no personal site.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Generic text tagging is easier because it just uses the existing comment mechanism but with u-tag-of instead of u-in-reply-to
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Aside: for such local h-card proxies you probably need a decent URL structure for them
#
ben_thatmustbeme
except i thought the u-tag-of implies the set category is the tag, and content is fallback
#
ben_thatmustbeme
actually, no, u-tag-of is the post you are tagging them in, not the url you are tagging
danlyke joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
example, aaronpk posts a photo of you, i send
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: I'm not sure what you mean by "with link"
#
ben_thatmustbeme
u-tag-of=aaronpk.com/somephoto, u-category[url]=tantek.com u-category[text]="this guy is a genius" p-content="Ben Roberts tagged Tantek in a photo as "This guy is a genius"
#
ben_thatmustbeme
mismatched quotes in there, but i think you can understand it
#
ben_thatmustbeme
or is that something we don't allow?
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: That looks like a mix of a comment and a tag in one post which is not reflective of user behavior.
danlyke joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
thats fair, i was using that more to see the limits of what makes sense or not
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Look at existing UIs for tagging things. They let you do one tag at a time.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: When you're tagging other people's stuff.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: And each one of those can be individually deleted by the recipient (or queued for moderation and selectively approved)
j12t joined the channel
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: This kind of limitation AKA simpler design is very much driven by UI, user-interaction-flow.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: In fact, *desired* UX flow.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
okay, so I can post a u-category= and then IF the url has an h-card i'm done, if it doesn't my site creates an h-card with data i know of them (name, url, twitter handle) and tags that way
#
ben_thatmustbeme
if its just a name i use p-category
#
ben_thatmustbeme
still can't do area though,
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Yeah hence my questions from a few days ago about that
friedcell joined the channel

Loqi
slack/tantek: About the challenge of the parsed microformats JSON representation vs micropub capabilities.

#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Ben - it was when we last chatted about this (area) sometime in the past several days.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
there were no actual questions that i see
#
ben_thatmustbeme
actually the micropub url-encode standard thust far has been to post with category=<sometext> that would need to change too,
#
ben_thatmustbeme
s/too/first/
#
Loqi
ben_thatmustbeme meant to say: actually the micropub url-encode standard thust far has been to post with category=<sometext> that would need to change first,
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Hmm yes I failed to state it as a question.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: URL is just a subset of "some text"
#
@NorthCreekSoft
#ownyourdata spread your cost and your risk - combo of local+cloud storage, local+cloud process: can you run if one goes down?
(twitter.com/_/status/582569769423020032)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
hmm, so the server would have to parse for urls in the category text
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: But this does question the area/shape/coords additions to microformats2 parsing.
#
@NorthCreekSoft
#ownyourdata security: is your system secure? Compared to a data centre? vs. you are a small target, cloud biz=big score for hackers
(twitter.com/_/status/582570113242697728)
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Only absolute http(s):// urls at that. Discussed that with kylewm in the past few days also.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: What is NorthCreekSoft?
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: (We may have to redesign how area tags work, from markup to parsed microformats output to what gets sent to micropub.)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
feels like he is breaking things again
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Remembering of course that it's most important to keep the markup as simple/meaningful as possible for publishers.
#
Loqi
slack/tantek: Better to break things sooner than later ;)
