snarfed, kylewm found a Bridgy Publish bug the very first time I used it to POSSE a photo post to Twitter: https://twitter.com/t/status/659200761427980288
#

Note the "/Social Web" - that should be "/ Social Web", and there's a return (cr) in the original that somehow Bridgy Publish removed, and thus errantly appended "Social" to the end of that IG URL

I've found a solution for my photo vs article tell-apart issue from yesterday: I do set a article character limit to separate short/long, but in case it fall to photo identification, compare the text difference percentage between the post content and the photo description, coming from IPTC data; if it's within a certain range ( 'cause I do copy the IPTC data as post content by hand when posting a photo ), I can assume it's a photo post

ben_thatmustbeme
So, i got a new phone which meant having to set up mobilepub on my new phone, which i quickly realized is sort of broken for me
#
ben_thatmustbeme
so i have a new idea
#
ben_thatmustbeme
instead of doing indieauth on my phone, possibly indieauth on a website and generate a QR code to get data to the phone
#
ben_thatmustbeme
basically put the URL and auth key in the qr code
#
aaronpk
is that easier because you don't have to fiddle with phone code as much to do it?
lewisnyman joined the channel
#
aaronpk
(after i launch my new site my next thing is probably gonna be making an ios micropub client)
modem joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yeah, so on android at least, when launching a browser window inside an app, its totally insulated, so no saved passwords, you have to log in manually to whatever site you are using via typing in info on phone keyboard
#
ben_thatmustbeme
which is annoying
wolftune joined the channel
#
aaronpk
ah yeah, iOS 9 finally fixed that
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i mean its a tough line, i think it should be there for security
#
aaronpk
totally
#
aaronpk
the iOS 9 fix is pretty good
#
ben_thatmustbeme
and you can always launch a browser in a new window, but it wouldn't capture the URL then
#
ben_thatmustbeme
at least not without registering a new protocol to handle which gets way messier
#
aaronpk
are there good QR code libraries for android?
#
aaronpk
i haven't checked what it would take to add a QR code scanner to an iOS app
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i need to double check, but it might be a simple plug in to phonegap to add it
#
aaronpk
ah phonegap
#
ben_thatmustbeme
quite straight forward
#
ben_thatmustbeme
at least at first glance
j12t joined the channel
#
aaronpk
you know... that seems like something possibly worth adding to indieauth.com
#
aaronpk
redirect_uri=qrcode
#
aaronpk
instead of redirecting to an http endpoint, it just displays the QR code
#
ben_thatmustbeme
ideallly it should still get the app's URL though
#
aaronpk
this is also similar to the out-of-band oauth you see on apple TV when signing in to a cable service provider
#
aaronpk
it's usually done with a 6-digit code, which frankly might be way easier
#
ben_thatmustbeme
hmm, have to think exactly how that would work
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yeah, may be better to do that
snarfed joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
would make for a lot of possibility for embedded devices and for cosole stuff that really has a hard time doing indieauth itself
#
aaronpk
benefit of the qr code is the code can encode the auth server to use, whereas the 6-digit code would need to hard-code the auth server
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think the only way someone did it for CLI was to launch a web service that could catch some specific URL etc
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk: why? assuming i put in my URL first
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i know the auth server
#
aaronpk
oh I thought you were starting on the desktop
#
ben_thatmustbeme
well, either should work i suppose
#
ben_thatmustbeme
you are right, in that case
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i'm getting too many ideas now
#
aaronpk
i don't like writing code for phones so i prefer to offload as much to the desktop as possible ;)
#
aaronpk
but that's just me
#
ben_thatmustbeme
thats why i went with cordova... its just writing JS and html5
ttepasse joined the channel
#
ben_thatmustbeme
what if my app had its own site
#
aaronpk
yeah that'd be fine. that's the "hard coding" i was talking about
#
ben_thatmustbeme
want to log in ? enter your URL or do it at myapp.example.com
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yeah, so it hard codes the companion site, not like an auth server
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think thats fine
loic_m and ttepasse joined the channel
#
aaronpk
i also just think it'd be cool to be able to make a mobile app that doesn't require a server component

kylewm
is https://indiewebcamp.com/post-type-discovery#Algorithm intended to only apply to h-entry objects? like an h-event would be orthogonal?

#
kylewm
it would also be useful to know if an h-card represents a person or location
#
aaronpk
i was thinking about that
#
aaronpk
and then i kept thinknig about it
#
aaronpk
and then i was thinking why does it actually matter
sanduhrs joined the channel
#
aaronpk
when it comes down to it, it turns out computers don't need to know/model the full depth of types of objects in order for the information to still be useful to people reading it
#
kylewm
yeah you're right I think. it's useful for me to know if something is an event, but i don't much care if an h-card is a person/location/corporation/etc.
#
aaronpk
the difference between an event and an h-card is important because the software will display them totally differently
#
aaronpk
but that's not really a distinction based on the type of the object so much as based on what properties it has

I’m adding Pages to Homesteading now. Pages almost identical to Articles. Just not in the timestream. Duh. We all know and agree on that. (I think.)
#
aaronpk
i decided to not even have a distinction between pages and articles
#
[shaners]
My question for y’all is do you think that Pages should have an `in-reply-to` field on them? [ ] yes [ ] no [ ] it’s complicated [ ] _______
#
aaronpk
my answer is stop thinking about explicit post types
#
[shaners]
Pages and posts get different URL structures.
#
aaronpk
basically i now have a "post" object, which can have either text/plain or text/html content type, and can have a bunch of properties like in-reply-to. i can also set a custom URL for any post
#
aaronpk
all posts can appear in any feeds, feeds are not restricted to an artificial post type
#
[shaners]
My `/resume` is a good example
#
aaronpk
now my posts can have a custom slug like /resume and then all of a sudden it *looks* like a page
#
aaronpk
i even support multiple slashes in the slug, so you can do /projects/foo
#
[shaners]
True. But I don’t want my `/resume` or `/about-me` or `/contact` showing up in any feed.
#
aaronpk
then don't put them in the feed
#
aaronpk
deciding what goes into feeds does not need to be tied to the post type
#
[shaners]
If they’re Articles, they go to the feed.
#
@RikMende
@znmeb @semil you can still use @withknown to POSSE your content to these silo networks https://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE
(twitter.com/_/status/659428061914468352)
#
[shaners]
So, back to my actual question. Do you think Pages (like resume, about, contact, etc) should have an `in-reply-to` field?
#
aaronpk
yes, by proxy of pages not being their own post type ;)
#
[shaners]
Shush your face! :stuck_out_tongue:
#
[shaners]
In p3k with your custom slugs on Posts, do you have a bit that can say “don’t show this post in the feed”?
#
aaronpk
yeah, basically there's a property on each post that says what feeds it should go into
#
[shaners]
Do you manually set that for each post everytime?
#
aaronpk
nope, i have some filters that set them based on what is in the post
#
[shaners]
So, with the case of your /resume pseudo-article as page, what in that post would keep it out of the feed?
#
aaronpk
haven't thought through the UI for creating "pages" yet, but worst case it gets auto-added and then I remove it
#
[shaners]
I want to avoid that
#
aaronpk
oh, well one thing that could trigger it to not appear in the feed is the fact that i'd be setting the custom slug when writing the page
#
[shaners]
You can can my explicit post types when you pry them from my cold dead hands! :stuck_out_tongue:
#
[shaners]
Is that always true?
#
aaronpk
[shaners]: you say that now, but my bets are in 2 years you'll end up rewriting again to remove explicit post types
#
aaronpk
it's always true for me since i don't publish articles with an absolute slug
#
[shaners]
if custom slug, then keep outta feed ?
#
aaronpk
yeah i think that makes sense
#
[shaners]
aaronpk: Wanna make a long bet? Loser buys winner dinner?
#
singpolyma
"basically there's a property on each post that says what feeds it should go into" -- like a post type? ;)
#
aaronpk
singpolyma: no
#
aaronpk
since i publish posts into multiple feeds
#
aaronpk
if I publish a post that has a walking route, it goes into both the 'transport' and 'health' feeds
#
[shaners]
Sounds like a tag to me.
#
aaronpk
yeah kinda like a tag
#
[shaners]
Well, two tags.
#
kevinmarks
so how is that different form category/tag
#
[shaners]
In HS land, there are effectively three feeds:
#
aaronpk
it's very similar to tags interally, but different presentation and different UI for setting them
#
[shaners]
- composite (homepage) feed
#
[shaners]
- post type specific feed (/photos, /notes, etc)
#
[shaners]
- tag feeds (also composite) (/tags/health, /tags/food, etc)
#
[shaners]
Each post is responsible for its presentation and UI (reading and writing)
#
aaronpk
yeah i have that as well, except my top-level feeds like /photos are not based on an explicit type
#
aaronpk
basically that is one of the major limitations of my current site that is driving this whole rebuild
#
[shaners]
what goes into /photos for you that’s not a Photo post?
#
aaronpk
it's more the other way. a "reply" post might go into /photos if it has a photo
#
aaronpk
also not all posts that have photos will go into /photos
#
[shaners]
anything can be a “reply"
#
aaronpk
so you must not have an explicit "reply" post type
#
[shaners]
Correct
#
aaronpk
the point stands though. I want to be able to be choosier about what goes into feeds beyond just what post type they are
#
[shaners]
No doubt.
#
[shaners]
Sounds like you and I have opposite directions of doing this.
#
[shaners]
For you, as I understand it, Posts are Publishers to N feeds.
#
[shaners]
For me, Feeds are Subscribers to N posts.
#
[shaners]
Does that sound accurate ish?
#
aaronpk
i suppose so
#
[shaners]
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#
[shaners]
I mean, at the end of the day, we’re each building our own things and don’t have to agree on All Of The Things™.
#
aaronpk
i am just trying to save you a headache down the road ;)
#
[shaners]
That’s sweet of you.
#
kylewm
actually I'm kind of surprised that you (aaronpk) are the big proponent of implicit types, it seems like you have the most to gain from explicit with all the different metrics and stuff you track
#
aaronpk
i'm all for explicitly attaching things to posts, but that's different from post types
#
kylewm
sure, composition over inheritance
#
aaronpk
also makes my rendering easier
#
kylewm
so an article can have a biking route in it, do you just render that like an inline image?
#
aaronpk
yeah basically it would appear underneath the article content
#
aaronpk
but i don't really have an explicit concept of articles anyway
#
aaronpk
i have posts that have a name and html content
#
[shaners]
Sounds more WordPress and less Tumblr to me.
#
[shaners]
And I like Tumblr’s model better.
#
aaronpk
2 years until shaners: how's that explicit post typing working out for you?
#
Loqi
I added a countdown scheduled for 10/28 11:26am (#5731)
#
[shaners]
To be clear, aaronpk, I’ve had explicit post typing since May 2010. And I’m still happy with it. It might just be a matter of preference.
#
[shaners]
And mental models
#
[shaners]
aaronpk: long bet for dinner?
#
aaronpk
heh sure
#
[shaners]
aaronpk: In two years, if I’ve rebuilt, am rebuilding, or want to rebuild HS to remove explicit post types, I will buy you dinner. If not, you’ll buy me dinner. Deal?

tvn joined the channel
#
kylewm
what is follow?
#
Loqi
follow is a common button in silo UIs (like Twitter) that adds updates from that profile (typically a person) to the stream shown in an integrated reader, and sometimes creates a follow post either in the follower's stream ("… followed …" or "… is following …") thus visible to their followers, and/or in the notifications of the user being followed ("… followed you") https://indiewebcamp.com/follow

hm, can I map that to woodwind's subscribe?
#
singpolyma
ok, neat. I'm still very dubious about indie-action markup, but that looks maybe useful

Geng joined the channel

#
singpolyma
is there a reason micropub supports both form-encoded and json, but not html?
#
aaronpk
like submitting an HTML page with microformats?
#
singpolyma
aaronpk: yes
#
aaronpk
it started out with just form-encoded because that's way simpler to accept on the server side
nitot joined the channel
#
singpolyma
for sure. I get why that one is there
#
singpolyma
simpler to make, too, if you just build an html form that points somewhere
#
aaronpk
in what situation would it be easier to submit an HTML body than the other options?
#
singpolyma
aaronpk: well, I have to generate the HTML anyway if I'm going to display it to the user at all
#
singpolyma
I'm mostly curious when the JSON version is easier... since I never have that unless I make it specifically for micropub
#
aaronpk
frankly I think the JSON version is only easier when looking at request bodies written out
#
aaronpk
any web framework can json encode or form-encode a hash/dictionary just as easily
#
aaronpk
deeply nested form-encoded objects look ugly written out, but me
#
aaronpk
IIRC there is one structure form-encoded can't represent, but can't remember what exactly
#
aaronpk
also ironic is the fact that you can't upload files with JSON posts, so if you are going to post a photo or video, you need to use form encoding anyway
#
singpolyma
unless you wanted to accept data-uri fields or similar
#
kevinmarks
which is what Quill did
#
kevinmarks
actual data uri in the html of the content
#
kylewm
how do you nest form encoding at all?
#
aaronpk
foo[bar]=2
#
aaronpk
foo[bar][foo][]=6
#
aaronpk
there are examples on micropub.net
#
aaronpk
singpolyma: kevinmarks: yea there are any number of ways you *can* get files into JSON post requests, but none are standard the way multipart encoding is
#
aaronpk
you could even do regular multipart encoding and just have one of the parts be the JSON post body
#
kevinmarks
that is not exactly form encoding, but it's a convention
#
kevinmarks
or has it been standardised?
#
aaronpk
multipart encoding?
#
kevinmarks
?foo[bar][foo][]=6
#
aaronpk
oh yeah that's not technically form encoding but is pretty well supported
#
aaronpk

hey all! a couple PSAs for bridgy users...
#
snarfed
first, retrying responses is much improved. it retries *all* URLs, works harder to find candidate URLs (including syndication URLs), and you can page through old responses so you can retry them
#
snarfed
second, for finding your user page: along with remembering your accounts when you log into them, it now also lets you type your username, full name, or domain instead of user id in the URL (for silos where it needed that before)

Do any ppl passively graba 'checkin'? like when posting a note / article etc, just grab the geo behind the scenes?
#
davidpeach
instead of manually doing an explicit checkin
#
aaronpk
all of my content is tagged with the location (lat/lng/city) but not venue
#
aaronpk
I don't consider those checkins, just tagging

#
aaronpk
I also use the location to set the timezone for my posts to the local timezone
#
davidpeach
