I think I need an image and some audio in this page
KevinMarks__ and KevinMarks___ joined the channel
#
KevinMarks__
The canonical document should also have a corresponding <link> tag within pointing at this AMP HTML file: <link rel="amphtml"
#
aaronpk
yes, so that amp documents can be an alternate version than the desktop view
#
KevinMarks__
should we add to microformats registry
#
KevinMarks__
rel="alternate" type="text/html+amp"
#
aaronpk
the nytimes AMP version has "originall published at" at the bottom
#
aaronpk
oh sorry i'm looking at the atlantic
#
aaronpk
this one also does not have the rel=amphtml link
#
KevinMarks__
well, it shouldn't on the amp version, but on the canonical one
#
aaronpk
yeah it doesn't
#
aaronpk
i can't find the URL that the atlantic published. i was able to find it for one earler today
#
KevinMarks__
wow, if js doesn't load the page is blank because of the <style>body {opacity: 0}</style> shit
#
aaronpk
that feels like a really weird thing to require publishers include on the page. why can't google just inject that when they go to display the post
#
gRegorLove
AMP requires the opacity: 0 bit??
#
KevinMarks__
there's a lot of cruft in this spec

given that it's a relatively simple OAuth 2 API I wonder what the odds are of getting them to support micropub directly

also interesting that there is no editing API

Just checking... has anyone yet made a micropub book scanner?
#
ShaneHudson_
I never add books to my website. If it was as easy as the 'We Buy Books' app I could add them all in a few mins heh
#
ShaneHudson_
So might make one soon
#
aaronpk
what's a book scanner?
#
ShaneHudson_
Use the camera on phone/computer to scan the barcode. That gets the ISBN
#
aaronpk
oh hah
#
ShaneHudson_
The We Buy Books app works incredibly well, was testing it to see if camera scanners work
#
aaronpk
pretty sure there are open source barcode scanning libraries too
#
ShaneHudson_
Got a hack day coming up and was thinking of what to do
#
ShaneHudson_
Yeah there are plenty
#
ShaneHudson_
It wouldn't be too hard, just thought I should check it didn't already exist.

Ok :) Won't look into it too much now. Think it will be a good little project though, and being micropub means anyone else here can use it :)

Goodreads is a silo for keeping track of books, reviews, and reading progress https://indiewebcamp.com/Goodreads

I do the same thing for LibraryThing you can export your collection as JSON and I have a json to mf script I run periodically

tallpaul
Librarythings catalogue is loosely MARC based I think, though I could be wrong and it captures quite a bit of info

"It was only after seeing the publishers who were associated with the project and then looking at the GitHub repo that I realized it was a real thing."
#
kevinmarks_
the sense I'm getting is that it is a way for tech and editorial to fight off the biz side in publishers
#
KartikPrabhu
not really. with a promised better distribution biz will be all over it
#
KartikPrabhu
even if it makes no sense
#
kevinmarks_
yes, I mean fight of the biz side's propensity to shit all over the users by including adtech malware
#
KartikPrabhu
so now no custom JS and writing weird AMP code will be pushed

#

What's the timing of AMP vs Facebook's similar thing (Live Articles? I forget). It seems reactionary, but I dunno if AMP has been in the works for a while and it's just coincidental timing.
#
aaronpk
there's almost no way it was started after FB given the list of launch partners
#
Zegnat
Jeena, will the foss-gbg talk be free to attend?
#
kevinmarks_
Jeff said it came from news foo
#
Jeena
Zegnat mark it in your calender :D http://foss-gbg.se/kalender/
#
kevinmarks_
Jeff wants news stories to be embeddable like youtube videos
#
kevinmarks_
AMP potentially gives that, in that you could have a widget that puts them on your site
#
Zegnat
I will definitely have to try and get down to Gbg for that then, Jeena! I might have a place to sleep now, meaning I could stay past my usual deadline
#
Jeena
That would be really awesome! I would really appreciate some backup :D
#
kevinmarks_
you could just iframe them, but something liek that google carousel for stories you link to could be nice in a reader/ indienews kind of thing
#

the way it preloads adjacent pages so you can swipe is pretty neat

hi all. I'm writing as a side project a tiny static blog generator, but I'm wondering if my generated HTML is indieweb compliant.
#
gidzit
I searched on the wiki and checked many of your site, but didn't find an answer yet.
#
gidzit
it's a single HTML page, with multiple hentry inside which can be linked by an URL fragment
#
gidzit
is it "forbidden" to have such permalink with a fragment?
#
Zegnat
I don’t think it is forbidden, but it might trip up parsers that are looking for things like "the first h-entry on the page"
ventilateur joined the channel
#
aaronpk
afaik nobody checks fragments now
cleverdevil joined the channel
#
aaronpk
so if you reply to someone with a URL like that, their site probably won't show the thing you want it to show
#
gidzit
so, fact is probably that my site is completely incompatible :/
#
aaronpk
is there a reason you don't want actual permalinks to your content?
#
Zegnat
Not completely incompatible, e.g. there is no reason for fragment URLs not to work with webmentions. It is just likely your website will trip up some people’s parsers, but that is just one part of the indieweb
#
gidzit
don't be afraid... My code is running inside a webbrowser and store data source and generated html inside browser's localstorage
#
aaronpk
most sites and frameworks have been moving away from using fragment links to denote separate URLs. twitter dropped #! a while ago, and even javascript frameworks like ember.js are switching back to server-generated HTML
#
gidzit
reducing the number of files make everything easier/faster to run. One source. One generated HTML
#
snarfed1
gidzit: you might want to talk with csarven, he does the same kind of thing. https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/445
#
snarfed
related at least, if not the same
#
gidzit
there is no JS at all on the generated HTML, so, it's a bit different than the #! navigation

#
snarfed
funny link extraction failure: Photos.app. .app is a valid TLD (http://nic.app/), so it's reasonable (but still wrong) to interpret it as a link.
#
aaronpk
oh dear
#
kylewm
snarfed: why is it wrong if twitter autolinks it?
#
kylewm
gidzit: see also tantek's older archives, permalinks are all fragments http://tantek.com/log/2005/11.html
#
kylewm
snarfed: oh i guess bc they are talking about a Mac app? Still, I think that's "not our problem"

thanks for your examples.
#
snarfed
kylewm: yup all that is probably true. i agree it's probably not a bug for us to fix, per se.

it's "wrong" in general in that it's not a link, but i'm with you, i definitely have zero itch to tackle it :P

KartikPrabhu: hmm! not yet. sounds like a good feature request!

not sure how it'd work. maybe just search for the original tweet url?
#
aaronpk
sounds similar to how bridgy now searches for any link to your own site
#
snarfed
if it works, yes
#
snarfed
similar but more expensive since you have to search for every tweet they've ever published :P
#
snarfed
hopefully there's a better way

what about searching for "https://twitter.com/kartik_prabhu"

as for representing in mf2 and AS...are these just normal mentions?

if you wanna get fancy you could include the quoted tweet as an h-cite

#
aaronpk
haha yeah
#
aaronpk
that's kind of why i thought AMP was a joke at first
#
KartikPrabhu
as TIm Kadlec points out I think AMP is more about distribution than making the web faster
#
KartikPrabhu
same carrot that FB and Apple are using
#
KartikPrabhu
with the added pretense of being an open format
#
ShaneHudson_
I think things like this always get loads of hype then vanish. Same with Ello and all the others
#
KartikPrabhu
ShaneHudson_: when big companies like Google, FB and Apple puch this though, they will linger on. Like Schema, OpenGraph
#
KartikPrabhu
<meta viewport> any one
#
ShaneHudson_
Perhaps. Though Google aren't known for keeping things alive
#
ShaneHudson_
Not sure how many companies are involved though
#
KartikPrabhu
no they keep it on a respirator
alexhartley joined the channel
#
tantek
Google has a long history of abandoned markup efforts. They're quite fickle in that regard.
#
KartikPrabhu
for example who knows if Google search still uses microdata
#
tantek
indeed, microdata never had a "community" around it, so as soon as Google switched their focus (documentation) from microdata to JSONLD, it started to get ignored in all the random SEO blog posts / write-ups etc.
#
tantek
also from that timkadlec article: "Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus." <-- thank you NOSCRIPT :)
#
KartikPrabhu
Yes. But Google never said "we don't use microdata anymore" they just allowed it to linger
#
gRegorLove
What are alternatives to <meta viewport>? I wasn't aware there was issues with it.
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "alternatives to <meta viewport>" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/s/104U
#
KartikPrabhu
gRegorLove: CSS that is written as metadata. There is a proposal for @viewport in CSS now
#
gRegorLove
Ah, cool
#
tantek
gRegorLove: CSS WG was supposed to make @viewport work as a replacement, but the person (people?) who stepped up to write it up didn't make much progress, or didn't try hard enough to get browsers to implement it
#
tantek
I was going to work on it back in the day, but when other people were volunteering very strongly to work on it, I decided to let them - I had plenty of other things to work on.
#
ShaneHudson_
I suppose @viewport is understandable.. it does separate presentation from content.
#
tantek
gRegorLove: note that meta viewport is not from Google - but rather Apple, and they tend to support their made-up markup etc. much longer than Google
#
KartikPrabhu
virtually no support. whereas Apple's meta hack is universally supported and probably won't go away
#
ShaneHudson_
I was tempted to try implementing SVG paramentres, but Tab said it might be tricky to plumb correctly, so will leave it for someone that has done browser development before heh
#
tantek
basically, Apple decided to "be bold" and invent/ship what they thought was necessary for iOS "mobile apps" (actually web apps) back in 2007. and everyone else has been trying to catch-up / standardize ever since
#
ShaneHudson_
*parameters
#
KartikPrabhu
well they could have "boldly" added a CSS property instead of meta
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: and in some cases they did, e.g. all the -webkit- animation, transitions etc. stuff
#
KartikPrabhu
yes. my point exactly
#
ShaneHudson_
Could you imagine if they had done animation with html!
#
KartikPrabhu
now we are stuck with the <meta viewport> nonsense
#
tantek
the viewport stuff is trickier - they needed to know immediately when loading the page what to do, and likely didn't want to wait til loading stylesheets to figure it out
#
ShaneHudson_
Makes sense, same issues as resp images had/have
#
tantek
so I can see reasons to prefer a meta viewport hack for expediency, predictability, simplicity of authoring etc.
#
KartikPrabhu
ShaneHudson_: res images still tie presentation to markup. See srcset and picture. You have to specify how large the mage might be in the HTML
#
KartikPrabhu
hard stuff to get right though
#
tantek
(see the screenshot)
#
ShaneHudson_
KartikPrabhu: Precisely, due to needing to know before css loads mainly
#
ShaneHudson_
(and without downloading all images)
#
tantek
looks like AMP is taking the XML fragile failure approach
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: lol! XHTML FTW
#
tantek
well, so much for that
#
ShaneHudson_
Hah oh dear
#
tantek
noting as an issue - in the hopes that it gets fixed
#
KartikPrabhu
forgiving parsing is probably the best decision in the design of HTML
#
KartikPrabhu
it has been hard to get back to Latex for the past week
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: HTML got that from SGML
#
ShaneHudson_
Yes. I used to be very much for xhtml, forcing people to do things properly... but it just doesn't work.
#
ShaneHudson_
Especially when different people/browsers have different ideas of properly
#
tantek
ShaneHudson_: "forcing" rarely works in general. OTOH forgiveness and usability works quite well :)
