KartikPrabhu
someone with a /nicknames-cache should implement an actual hovercard
wagle_, wolftune and lukebrooker joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
does anyone other than aaronpk and tantek have next/previous links on their post permalink pages?
#
tantek
FB hovercard has: header-image, profile-image, name, most recent event, became friends with recently, and then a series of three buttons: friends/addfriend/friendrequested, follow/following, message
#
tantek
what is navigation?
#
Loqi
Navigation refers to the UI, UX and markup allowing people to move around a website https://indiewebcamp.com/navigation
#
KartikPrabhu
I want to use more examples for my article rather than single out aaronpk :)
#
KevinMarks_
they vary the events and things
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: your feed pages have an "older" link but not "newer" link?
#
kylewm
KartikPrabhu: yeah it's always been that way
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: any reason or just not implemented?
#
kylewm
hmm, just not something i've ever wanted
#
kylewm
actually i guess i had older and newer when i was using page=1, page=2, instead of before-timestamp
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: will add aaronpk when I take screenshots of his page
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: do you know any examples off-hand that violate your "dictum" http://tantek.com/2011/102/t2/navigation-arrows-back-past-forward-future-ui-pattern ?
#
tantek
I think Flickr used to? they've gone through so many web UI iterations though
#
kylewm
oh god, flickrs used to alternate too .. they went one way on the stream and the other way in sets
#
KartikPrabhu
kylewm: I am going to complain about that ^ a lot in this article :P
#
kylewm
quietly flips the direction of his Older arrow
#
KartikPrabhu
damn it screenshots quickly
#
KartikPrabhu
too late :'(
#
tantek
hmm - looks like dribbble.com
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: see the "More by Tantek Çelik" right column
#
tantek
if you look closely at the dates, you'll see they flipped the back/forth with past/future
#
tantek
as in the left <- side goes "newer", and the right -> side goes "older"
#
tantek
!tell KartikPrabhu re: examples off-hand that violate dictum "Navigation arrows: always back to the past and forward to the future. Back to the Future is a movie, not a UI pattern." see: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-06-26/line/1435365383179
#

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

tantek_: I experimented with making a Firefox Share provider for Quill a while back, but it didn't seem to really offer anything over a bookmarklet
#
kylewm
i.e. a bookmarklet that window.location = 'http://quill.p3k.io/new/?reply=' + window.location

getting a cert error from safari for https://tantek.com/photo.jpg - says it si self-signed
#
kylewm
tantek's https certificate is self-signed
#
KevinMarks_
don't remember seeing that before
scoates, jacus, michel_v and yakker joined the channel
#
KevinMarks_
hm. Is there a CSS way to scale type size to fit width?
#
KartikPrabhu
width of a container?
#
KartikPrabhu
but if your container width is declared in viewport widths, you can declare font-size in viewport widths too
#
KevinMarks_
right, but that sets the height of the font
#
KevinMarks_
I want to adjust the font size so a single line of text fits
#
KevinMarks_
I can do it in js
#
KartikPrabhu
there is never a width of the font measure. font-size is always x-height
#
KevinMarks_
I mean width of the string eg "Kevin Marks"
cmhobbs joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm nope. the only way to scale the width of a phrase is to scale its font-size
#
KevinMarks_
adjust the font-sis so it fits the width of a contaner
#
KevinMarks_
is there an SVG solution?
#
KartikPrabhu
you mean embed an SVG and put the text in there?
#
KartikPrabhu
might be possible
#
KartikPrabhu
KevinMarks_ SVG works uploading demo for you now
#
KartikPrabhu
svg container is fluid of width 90vw . resize browser to see scaling text
#
KevinMarks_
doesn't scale in safari
#
KevinMarks_
not quite what I meant
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
"not what I meant" in the sense?
#
KevinMarks_
my head hurts
KartikPrabhu, yakker, wolftune, rbrt, KevinMarks__ and keroberos joined the channel
#
KevinMarks_
maybe trying to combine flexbox and svg scaling was a bit ambitious
arlen joined the channel
#
KevinMarks_
seems like all these shiny new css things ahve booby traps if you are used to using semantic tags instead of div's for everything
csarven joined the channel
#
KevinMarks_
it would help if I remembered to put . in front of the class names in CSS

i can't even figure out what that confusion is about
#

really mozilla? "cdn" in the domain name?

ben_thatmustbeme
If site A already has a token that site B will accept, is it fine to just send a token directly to B that A will accept
#
ben_thatmustbeme
assuming the request includes the bearer token to auth
#
ben_thatmustbeme
also a question for anyone out there really

tantek: your rainbow bkg looks great on my site :)
#
tantek
yeah!
#
aaronpk
it seems to behave differently on mobile chrome than desktop chrome
#
tantek
I think webkit too - like they don't support the background:fixed part of it
#
tantek
background-attachment:fixed
#
tantek
mobile webkit that is
#
aaronpk
same with safari mobile vs desktop
#
tantek
tried the -webkit- version also - didn't make any difference so unprefixed standard CSS only it is!
#
tantek
aaronpk: mobile chrome on iOS uses mobile webkit btw - not blink. try testing on an Android
#
aaronpk
oh right
#
tantek
checks latest FirefoxOS ;)
#
tantek
it's beautiful on FirefoxOS - my goodness

Does anyone adjust the timezone of their posts relative to their location at the time of posting?

yes, all of my posts do that

my URLs are also based on the local time

aaronpk: I think I would have to build the feature. I don't think WordPress supports it

slack/snarfed: GWG: you've searched?

There is no option or plugin to store timezone data on a per post basis that I see. I need to look at the data structure.

snarfed: The post type stores in local and GMT time. Would need a plugin that would store and override and filter the display.

snarfed
right, i get the use case

snarfed
go for it!
