# 00:01 kylewm still a lot of work for someone who isn't interested in twiddling bits
# 00:02 kylewm also, that's pretty rad that Quill would be a draw for someone to check out indieweb
# 00:02 KartikPrabhu KevinMarks_ what does happen in wordpress? is the src removed completely?
# 00:09 tantek we have enough experience with PuSH 0.4 working on personal sites, and it makes enough of a difference in indie readers (the realtime experience), that it's worth adding it explicitly to IndieMark Level 2 IMO
# 00:12 Loqi tantek meant to say: we have enough experience with PuSH 0.4 working on personal sites, and it makes enough of a difference in indie readers (the realtime experience), that it's worth adding it explicitly to IndieMark Level 3 IMO

# 00:22 KartikPrabhu KevinMarks_: maybe some intermediate plugin does sanitization to incoming posts
# 00:24 KevinMarks_ kylewm: what if feverdream injected h-entry etc as part of the post to the wp.com & tumblr silos?
# 00:32 tantek.com edited /IndieMark (+386) "clarify level 3 and some level 4 items, add Level 3: syndication: PuSH 0.4, "handle responses" axis with some draft levels inside it, Level 4: multiple response types incl RSVP" (
view diff )
# 00:33 kylewm wp.com already has hentry doesn't it? I inject some mf2, u-in-reply-to, u-in-like-of at least.
# 00:34 tantek alright I made some medium size mods to IndieMark level 3 and level 4 based upon general implementation trends in the community (e.g. PuSH 0.4 support, multiple response types)

# 01:15 kylewm just got an email from Heroku that my free tier apps will be migrated to the new pricing model July 1st, that is very soon!
# 01:15 kylewm I thought maybe existing free apps would be grandfathered in for a while
# 01:17 kylewm Dave Winer made the point that their old model seemed to be "use our platform for free until your app takes off, then we both profit!"
# 01:48 aaronpk i'm not super familiar with the wordpress stuff, but i thought if you had rel=me links on your wordpress home page then the micropub plugin would work
# 01:55 tantek all of a sudden that whole web hosting portability thing matters more doesn't it?
# 01:55 KevinMarks I wonder if I still have the "don't charge him" flag at from working at Salesforce
# 01:56 GWG tantek: I don't think anyone wrote a 0.4 plugin for WordPress, so 0.3 I think.
# 01:56 tantek kylewm: could you update at least the summary at the top of /Heroku re: free tier expiring soon? Add more too.
# 01:57 tantek "An alternative, that also supports PubSubHubbub v0.4, is the PubSubHubbub Plugin. "
# 01:57 kylewm there is still a free tier that can be up up to 18 hours/day
# 01:58 GWG tantek: There was a reason for my decision. I have to go review it
# 01:58 GWG tantek: Just working on a rewrite of something.
# 01:58 kylewm but probably not for webmention.herokuapp.com nor kevinmarks.com :/
# 01:58 GWG I'm fixing something in Post Kinds so I can bump the version number after that whole annoyance this morning.
# 01:59 kylewm tantek: heading out the door, but i will document tonight!
# 01:59 GWG tantek: I'm still annoyed by it. I fixed the thing and it got retweeted all over the place.
# 01:59 tantek GWG - I suppose that's because of the lack of version # bump?
# 01:59 tantek note: always bump version number for security fixes
# 02:00 GWG I was working on the next version
# 02:00 kylewm tantek: GWG: pfefferle's plugin delegates to superfeedr, i'm 90% sure (as opposed to PushPress which implements its own 0.3 compat hub)
# 02:00 GWG I think that was why I picked the self-hosted version
# 02:00 tantek kylewm: then why does it claim PuSH 0.4 support?
# 02:01 tantek having 0.4 support (over 0.3) is more important than running your own hub
# 02:02 tantek KevinMarks: please take notes on what you had to do to switch things away from Heroku
# 02:03 kylewm Winer has documented his move from Heroku to AWS in great detail, just fyi
# 02:03 tantek Last time I attempted to understand / "solve" the larger problem of deployment (not just migration), I ended up brainstorming / researching this: https://indiewebcamp.com/deployment which has more questions than answers :/
# 02:08 KevinMarks I spent a little time trying to make stuff cross post to Google and Amazon, but got too annoyed by it
# 02:10 kylewm I think I was wrong, it doesn't look like Winer documented his transition to Amazon
# 02:12 kylewm KevinMarks: what means "cross post to Google and Amazon"?
# 02:19 Vendan I don't really recommend it for indieweb, but I did have fun learning how to get wercker to build and deploy binaries to my server

# 02:19 KevinMarks If I do that, then I can have a micropub POSSE fanout, using known and feverdream
# 02:20 KevinMarks Can I just run go on appengine? I assume it is efficient enough to make the free tier good
# 02:20 Vendan most likely, though go has some "issues" on appengine
# 02:21 Vendan there's certain things you can't do on GAE in go
# 02:21 KevinMarks I remember talking to the Heroku people a couple of years ago, and they said that they set up the pricing model so that ruby apps would end up paying them, but that node ones were more efficient
# 02:21 Vendan realistically, go is also efficient enough to do a lot on a $10~$15/year vps
# 02:22 Vendan bear in mind, for a go app, you don't even need a web server. go's stdlib web server is very well built
# 02:23 Vendan most golang stuff ends up just being done using http proxy if it's behind apache or lighttpd
# 02:28 Vendan just as a point of pride, my current indieweb software, even with loading and rendering notes and profile info, and without any caching
# 02:29 Vendan which, in the current state, would involve sending 57 megabits per second of data
# 02:30 Vendan not even sure the network stuff it's on would really handle it

# 03:31 Vendan hrm, I've read through the PuSH specs, and it looks like running a hub as part of your server, and just triggering off notifications to subscribers, is perfectly legitimate. Probably gonna write a library for golang that'll let you add PuSH pub/hub to a site really easily

# 18:46 KevinMarks_ I can't reproduce it locally - how do I switch which html parser it's using?
# 18:47 kylewm the only way to do it is to install/uninstall different ones
# 18:48 kylewm I guess it is because the <links> are not properly closed
# 18:50 kylewm huh, I would've thought lxml should still work, it should be using lxml.html
# 18:51 kylewm I could use some guidance on how those links should be closed properly. the page seems to have two doctypes :/
# 18:53 kylewm hmm, I removed the close tags from the instructions on 4/18, I think we discussed it in the channel
# 18:59 kylewm I guess I did it because my default theme on tumblr on kylemahan.tumblr.com didn't have self-closing link tags
# 19:00 kylewm it has two <!DOCTYPE html>'s but they are not conflicting at least...

# 20:02 aaronpk does anyone else distinguish between publish date vs start/end date of events?
# 20:03 KevinMarks_ publish date is important if you want other people to join you there
# 20:03 aaronpk right. i've been adding things to events and travel well in advance, but it's kind of weird because they look like future-dated posts right now
# 20:04 rhiaro I have a similar problem, where I sort by published date but display end dates on things that have start/end dates, which is really just a bug but I haven't decided what the best resolution is
# 20:05 aaronpk here's the thing... I *want* my events and travel pages to sort by the event date, not publish date
# 20:05 rhiaro but for push notifications, published date matters
# 20:06 aaronpk so i'm thining i need a separate page that sorts my posts based on publish date, so readers/PuSH/consumers can find all the new things there
# 20:07 aaronpk and it'd probably only link to the real posts, not show any content of its own
# 20:08 aaronpk "aaron created an event" "aaron updated an event"
# 20:09 rhiaro I wasn't sure how far to go with displaying post content
# 20:09 aaronpk you certainly could, but I think for mine it's going to be just links. we'll see.
# 20:10 rhiaro I even almost stopped short at putting in titles of posts, and the actual links of things I liked/replied to/bookmarked
# 20:10 aaronpk mainly because I want to keep the emphasis on my noun-centric and first-person perspective of things
# 20:10 aaronpk e.g. there is very intentionally no third-person text on my website yet, so if I add it, I want to make sure it's distinct and there for a good reason
# 20:11 rhiaro think of it as notifications for other people
# 20:12 rhiaro if it's normal to publish our own notifications that get pushed out, we get more control over what other people see from us. But on the other hand it's less work to delegate deciding what a notification should look like to whatever is displaying it to someone
friedcell joined the channel
# 20:13 aaronpk oh are you talking about the difference between publishing an english string like "aaron created an event" vs properties that describe that activity?
# 20:14 rhiaro but in the vein of control is also deciding when people see it, and what people see on our sites, as in when you want to back/future date posts but need notifications pushed out
# 20:14 rhiaro or want people to be notified of something but not have it on homepage feed
# 20:18 rhiaro aaronpk: would you expect/anticipate/prefer readers to subscribe to your changelog *rather than* your homepage feed?
# 20:18 aaronpk i may solve this by putting a visible version of this feed on my home page
# 20:19 rhiaro like facebook has the main feed of posts and the little right hand feed of banal stuff
# 20:19 aaronpk might even un-markup the main posts on my home page and replace it with this
# 20:20 rhiaro it needn't even be human-visible, but I know that's frowned up on around these parts
# 20:20 aaronpk also there are sadly some internal architecture things i need to fix before i can really do this
tantek joined the channel
# 20:28 rhiaro ben_thatmustbeme: so you have something that subscribes you to your incoming activity to generate nofications?
# 20:28 rhiaro as in, is it just like you'd subscribe to any other feed?
# 20:29 KevinMarks_ we shoudl probably warn about html-parser in mf2py, tommorris kylewm
# 20:30 rhiaro ben_thatmustbeme: so just to clarify, how are your notifications generated?
# 20:32 rhiaro distinction between publishing a feed of your activities so *other people* get correct notifications of what you do vs. publishing a feed of other people's activities on your posts so *you* get the noticifications you want
# 20:32 rhiaro which is more efficient? (if everybody did the same)
# 20:33 KevinMarks_ html.parser was doing dodgy things with unclosed link and meta (like nesting them and somehow deciding that body was inside them)
bengo joined the channel
# 20:35 kylewm KevinMarks_: html5lib is already required by mf2py's setup.py
# 20:35 ben_thatmustbeme rhiaro: currently any time i parse a webmention (or rather store a "interaction" as I call them) i hit google cloud messaging and it notifies my browsers
# 20:36 KevinMarks_ right, but running on appengine wihtout explicitly installing it was using html.parser
# 20:36 rhiaro so that's just from what you store, the list itself doesn't get parsed by anything?
# 20:36 kylewm confirmed that the html.parser problem exists in Python3.4 as well
# 20:36 kylewm KevinMarks_: is there any way we can require either lxml or html5lib?
# 20:37 kylewm I don't want to exclude lxml which generally seems to be less buggy and faster
# 20:39 ben_thatmustbeme rhiaro: I do plan to make that available to those that want it, sure its another spot to feed in, but I don't think everyone publishing that feed is really what you want. as that would mean you basically have to subscribe to everyone you want a single notification from. I think we need this stream of activities on both sides
# 20:39 ben_thatmustbeme its the difference of subscribing to updates that effect me vs updates that friends have done
# 20:42 KevinMarks_ I suppose you could explicitly check that one or other is installed
# 20:44 rhiaro ben_thatmustbeme: "you basically have to subscribe to everyone you want a single notification from" - you already do that when you subscribe to someone in a reader?
# 20:44 kylewm i think the BeautifulSoup constructor will take a list of which parsers you want, but its documentation is so hard to find
# 20:46 KevinMarks_ BeautifulSoup does have a 'pass me random arguments and I'll guess what you mean' attitude
# 20:47 ben_thatmustbeme rhiaro: exactly, except thats not something you really want for a notifications stream. thats for a follow stream
# 20:47 rhiaro ben_thatmustbeme: you could trigger notifications from webmentions any way, you don't need to publish them as a feed particularly?
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 20:48 rhiaro Things you want notfications for: 1) when someone you follow does something. 2) when someone does something with one of your posts
# 20:48 ben_thatmustbeme rhiaro: that would be true if notifications contained data.. chome implementation does not. but also look at G+, FB, LinkedIn, you can always go back and view "previously read notifications"
# 20:49 rhiaro 1) is subscribing in a reader, 2) is processing webmentions
# 20:49 rhiaro I'm muddling notifications with having something appear in your feed
# 20:50 ben_thatmustbeme when i say notifications i'm talking push notifications too (pop up on my browser / phone)
# 20:51 kylewm KevinMarks_: it looks like the only `feature' that includes {lxml, html5lib} and excludes {html.parser}
is "permissive"
# 20:51 kylewm so we could construct with BeautifulSoup4(doc, "permissive")
# 20:57 KevinMarks_ or could explictly try to import html5lib and lxml and warn if neither is present

# 21:11 KartikPrabhu what is with people putting different titles on articles in the text and <title> tags :P
# 21:15 KartikPrabhu both of those look like Wordpress from the source. any idea if Wordpress is responsible for this?
# 21:18 ben_thatmustbeme KartikPrabhu: with that first one it looks like what the title should be for the article and the title in the page/url is the clickbait form
# 21:19 KartikPrabhu ben_thatmustbeme: looks like it. but the second one is by an actual scientist who has a reputation for avoiding such things. So I am guessing there is some field somewhere in the CMS that asks them to put 2 different things in
# 21:19 kylewm This Particle Broke a Cosmic Speed Barrier and You Won't Believe What Happened Next
benwerd joined the channel
# 21:20 ben_thatmustbeme so its a thing to make google like your page better but readers dislike it a bit more when they get there
# 21:24 KevinMarks_ whereas the facebook title is <meta property="og:title" content="The Particle That Broke a Cosmic Speed Limit | Quanta Magazine" />
# 21:26 KartikPrabhu must be some SEO title field in the CMS that forces people to write something there, otherwise why would anyone think of 2 titles for a post. One is hard enough
# 21:27 bengo KartikPrabhu there are many publishers now that required their editorial to come up with a handful of titles for an Article.
# 21:27 bengo Then the CMS A/B tests until it figures out which one baits the most attention
# 21:29 KartikPrabhu bengo: the second one is an individual blog so I am curious as to why the author chooses to do this for every post!

# 22:29 tantek the <title> has Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays Traced to Hotspot | Quanta Magazine
# 22:30 tantek that trailing " | Quanta Magazine" is the kind of thing commonly appended (separator + name of site) in <title>s - for multiple reasons
# 22:31 tantek if you bookmark the page (e.g. in the browser), the information of which site it came from is useful context to the title
# 22:31 tantek similarly in history menus, autocomplete etc.
# 22:32 tantek now the more challenging question is why does the visible article name "The Particle That Broke a Cosmic Speed Limit" differ so much from the <title> article name "Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays Traced to Hotspot"
# 22:33 tantek I can only surmise that there was a magazine editor type person involved that customized the visible article name, and neglected to update the less visible <title>
snarfed joined the channel
# 22:34 KevinMarks_ or they want the title used for searching, and the tagline for click bait
# 22:35 tantek both those titles are clickbaity though so I don't see that as an explanation of using one over the other
# 22:37 KartikPrabhu tantek: true. but like I said I have noticed these even in personal sites and most of them look to have a common CMS behind the source code
# 22:37 tantek KartikPrabhu: the reasons I gave apply to personal site usability as well
# 22:38 KartikPrabhu hmm I don't think these people are directly manipulating the HTML though
# 22:38 KartikPrabhu hence the "[...]customized the visible article name, and neglected to update the less visible <title>" seems unlikely
# 22:39 tantek I didn't mean to imply direct HTML manipulation per se
# 22:39 tantek they could be using a CMS UI to edit the visible article name vs. what goes into the <title> element
# 22:40 KartikPrabhu tantek: yes that is what I am suggesting. I wonder why the CMS has 2 title fields :P
# 22:40 gRegorLove The second example is definitely in WordPress UI, that SEO plugin I mentioned.
# 22:41 gRegorLove The different titles on the second one didn't seem clickbait-y to me.
# 22:41 tantek could be - classic bad UI mistake - look there are two things we can edit in the source code - let's use that plumbing-flexibliity and propagate it 1:1 into the UI
# 22:41 gRegorLove Didn't look at first source. Second source says exactly what it is.
# 22:42 KartikPrabhu both articles are pretty sound as science-writing goes. which is why I guessed the CMS-UX issue rather than deliberate click-bait
# 22:43 tantek article name "And Yet, Here We Are " - completely content free / useless for click bait or search
# 22:43 tantek whereas <title> is more baity "The impossible star that isn't impossible"
# 22:43 tantek almost as if the visible article name is a subtitle compared to the <title>
# 22:44 KartikPrabhu yes. it seems the url slug and visible title come from the same thing, but the <title> comes from somewhere else
# 22:46 tantek unrelated - the array of share buttons are one of the most inoffensive I've seen
# 22:47 tantek the side-by-side rectangular clickable links under "Share this entry"
# 22:48 tantek so all I'm seeing there are fallback <a href> links
# 22:49 tantek odd that the URL for the Twitter button uses ?p=4042 instead of the more human friendly permalink with slug
# 22:50 tantek and the Pinterest button/link has URL, title, and an *image* to use with it!
# 22:50 tantek the Tumblr button/link has URL, name, and a longer description as well
# 22:51 gRegorLove WordPress generates slugs from the core 'title' field, which is what's in the <h1> too. The Yoast plugin replaces the <title> if you enter an alternate SEO title (and fills in the og:crap)
# 22:54 gRegorLove Yeah, I think Brian's <title>s seem fine and would look good displayed in the page (subtitles optional)
# 22:54 KartikPrabhu right. and his actual visible title could very well be a cheeky subtitle

# 23:11 tantek that's just a link to superfeedr right? how can you tell that's 0.4 support ?
# 23:13 tantek (presumably you didn't drop PuSH support for your Atom feed - or did you?)
# 23:14 tantek reads back through the discussions about notifications vs reading between rhiaro and ben_thatmustbeme
# 23:15 tantek though I'd say there's a lot of overlap between such notifications "about your stuff" and reading "other people's stuff"
# 23:15 bret im super duper itching to write my own site engine
# 23:16 tantek rhiaro, ben_thatmustbeme one example of overlap - many mobile apps try to (by default?) notify you about every thing all your friends do. E.g. IG: "so-and-so posted a photo"
# 23:16 tantek or Swarm. So-and-so checked in at such-and-such.
# 23:17 tantek unless you're following very few people, that's obviously too noisy to be useful
# 23:18 tantek however what would be useful it maybe picking a very small subset of people to receive notifcations about their posts, the same way you get a notification when someone "publishes" a direct message to you via SMS.
