acegiakKevinMarks: Play is the only available word for games so in the context of scrobbles it makes sense to use it as the term for games when other words are better for other media
Loqipin or pinning is a feature that allows the author to choose a post to put at the top of their profile (or homepage) which is then called a pinned or sticky post https://indiewebcamp.com/pin
rhiaro!tell aaronpk, kylewm How do readers sort/order posts? Do they keep them in the order they find them in a feed, or sort them themselves by published date? (ie. If I have a pinned post, I don't want it to be pinned for people consuming my feed via a reader, only for people viewing my site. I'm guessing readers sort posts themselves by pubdate so would insert a pinned post chronologically as normal)
acegiakGWG: also, I'm trying to work out how to make sure that salmention comments don't duplicate when update mentions come through multiple times. Do you know how semantic linkbacks stores the permalink?
acegiakbut at the same time a couple of people have posted items with FUTURE published dates which have effectively pinned them to the top of my reader until that time
rhiaroFor a while I was doing travel plans and events only based on the date of the thing, rather than the published date of the post. I fixed it so they have separate published dates now.
kylewmrhiaro: woodwind uses published dates the first time it polls a feed ... to backfill old posts. for new posts from then on, it uses the received date. so if there was a future-dated post in the first pull, i guess it would be stuck to the top of the feed :/ I should fix that

gRegorLoveOops. Probably my fault. At a certain point I started using the initial revision and just updating dates so it's easy to copy/paste without cutting out RSVPs, etc.
gRegorLoveI have no idea what I will work on at IWC, but I think I'm on schedule to have my site moved over to ProcessWire framework, including webmention+vouch support. Pretty excited about that.
aaronpkso i'm gonna have to reserve the back room, which means a drink minimum slightly larger than our previous tabs, so I hope we get more people to show up to the preparty!
tantekthat's good that you have a list of "exits" as it were, however, I still think you should start with designing from the *entrance* of your flow. Your home page, at the top, either *just* a "new post" button, or *one text box* with a "Post" button below it.

tantekhere's my premise, that without understanding the full flow from UX -> post output, you won't know how much explicit markup you need when for different kinds of posting behavior
aaronpkhmm, but I'm not changing any of the input. I'm still using Quill, Monocle, Teacup, Ownyourgram, and other automatic import scripts to create posts
aaronpkright, but i am also not writing the micropub endpoint right now. right now I have a pile of source files of these posts, and I need to turn them into sensible HTML
tantekI vaguely remember rhiaro doing some analysis about how type-less primary posts make general sense, and yet *responses* may in practice be explicitly typed from the start, since they typically each have their own explicit UI
aaronpki think ideally i would have a generic post template, and have things added to it depending on what's in the post. e.g. if there's a photo, show an <img> tag. if there's a route, show the map.
tantekthe motivation for making different templates should not come from a notion of abstract types, but rather, to provide a richer UX for what you're posting
rhiaroPeople aren't going to click things, so no one would actually see what I like. Maybe it doesn't matter cos it's for the benefit of the original author, but I'm not sure
kylewmaaronpk: I'm trying out different markup than I was using before... now the top-level h-entry looks like it's by the author of the reposted thing
tantekI think likes tend to show more "summary"-like information of the thing being liked. Short amount of text or title. Smaller thumbnail of the image. etc.
tantekrhiaro: re: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-06-19/line/1434713754327 that's an interesting approach. As I keep off-and-on working on /event posts for Falcon, I keep coming back to having both the event itself, which is an h-event, and comments / (activity?) on that event, such as the first comment "created the event" (based on FB UI)
tantekrhiaro I'm pretty sure that having such a separate "event" and "comment that says created the event" posts solves the problem you were running into.
tantekrhiaro: I was thinking that too, except even in FB, that "create the event" comment 1) has a permalink, 2) can be liked, 3) can be commented upon. So it sounds more like a full fledged post to me - again, no need to make up a new term "activity" in practice.
tantekI'm pretty convinced that the only people who think "activity" is necessary as a concept are not actually building this stuff for the open web and using it.
tantekIt's good that you're focusing on post presentation, as that's the hardest and most important thing to get right, that then drives the other things.
kylewmtantek: which issue do you have in mind? this one is slightly tricky to detect since the e-content is just an <img> tag -- there's no way to detect that the content is contained within the name
gRegorLove"Could not find a tweet to reply to. Check that your post has an in-reply-to link a Twitter URL or to an original post that publishes a rel-syndication link to Twitter."
aaronpkright now my articles are markdown (with optional html of course), but everything else cannot have HTML in the content, so every other post type goes through an escaping process
tantekthe reason is, that way the only people that see those POSSE tweet replies are people that follow both me and the author of the original indieweb post, and thus have a decent chance of having seen their indieweb post in some other form
tantekand if people know they can depend on that behavior (with the scoping @-name in front) they may be more comfortable just using it, knowing that they're not spamming everyone
