!tell shaners thanks for the specific example - I think the key is what you said right before the example: "made inspired by" https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-10-29/line/1446155724773 - usually inspirations and such are listed in a footer, sidebar or other secondary context - maybe look for design examples of "Thanks to ..." or "Inspired by ..." text in pages?

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

!tell shaners the key is to *first* figure out the right *design* for it in terms of text content, layout etc., and *ONLY* after you've figured out a good design that communicates the real meaning (inspired by) rather than shoehorning into some existing plumbing semantic ("in-reply-to")
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
#
tantek
then figure out if there is any markup that makes sense or is needed
#
tantek
my shorter default is answer when people ask if they need / should use some plumbing is simply "No." because they didn't bring up a user-need.
#
tantek
shaners, the number of ways that a post could link to other posts is so varied that I've taken to just documenting (with citations) their various clusters of semantics rather than figuring out any markup: https://indiewebcamp.com/posts#Footer_sections
#
tantek
feel free to add "inspired by" to that list!

#
tantek
(especially if you add text to your page saying "Inspired by ..." )
#
[shaners]
I haven’t. And not sure I will. :neutral_face:
#
tantek
in general, there are far more text/content/design patterns than we'll figure out markup for - and that's ok
#
tantek
so I think that's the key
#
tantek
if you're not motivated, as a user, to show some content/relation to another page, on your page, then it's definitely not worth marking anything up
#
tantek
it should always start with what you're motivated to show, for the sake of users experiencing your site
#
bear
pave the cow paths
#
tantek
bear, the challenge is to not fall into the trap of forcing yourself to use existing paved paths just because they are there
#
tantek
that's the essence at the heart of this discussion re: "should I use in-reply-to"
#
bear
sure
#
bear
the point of the expression, at least how I meant it, was to identify the path that leads to the goal and once it becomes well trodden, pave it
#
bear
picking the path can/should be done once the design has shown what the needs are
#
tantek
much easier when nothing's been paved yet ;)

shaners - searching my site to see if I ever did "inspired by..."
#
[shaners]
Aside: I've never liked that phrase "pave the cow paths". Cows should be made to walk pavement. (I get the meaning and like the intent, just not the literal meaning).

#

ok found 3 fairly different examples of "Inspired by...", none of which have any particular special markup - shaners take a look to see if any of these make sense to you / resonate at all: http://tantek.com/2010/231/b1/bringing-back-the-blog http://tantek.com/2014/324/t1/apps-oauth-access-accounts-freemyoauth http://tantek.com/2013/149/b1/bayesian

re: aside - I'm not a huge fan of "pave the cow paths" either, but it's pre-existing :/
#
[shaners]
I hear you.
#
[shaners]
But so was spam/ham and you encouraged spam/yam instead. :grinning::thumbsup:
#
tantek
shaners - that took A LONG TIME
#
tantek
(seriously spam/ham has bothered me for much longer, and finally I lost it and asked for alternatives)
#
tantek
(now we just have to see if we can popularize spam/yam ;) )
#
[shaners]
The few "inspired by" mentions in my articles are similar to yours. Just a link in prose. No special markup or presentation. Not gonna sweat it anymore.
#
[shaners]
Thanks for talking through it with me.

yes - the in-prose vs. separate footer/sidebar/section is an interesting distinction

[shaners]
It kiiiinda reminds me of the via/ht/hattip thing that Jason Kottke and other earlier bloggers do/did.
#
[shaners]
It's not a footer, per se. But it is the last line of the articles body typically.
#
kevinmarks
via and source are things that are more common
#
[shaners]
While implementing Pages today, I noticed another difference (for me) between Pages and Articles: the need to say "show a link to this in the site nav" or not on a Page. Whereas, I've never wanted to put a post in my nav.
#
kevinmarks
that is the wordpress distinction
#
tantek
why pages vs articles rather than pages vs posts?

#
tantek
shaners - feel free to add more there if you find other "Inspired by" examples you feel are illustrative
#
kevinmarks
atom has rel="via" for the blogging reference case
#
tantek
the goal is that eventually we may see enough of a pattern to document something

#
kevinmarks
rel="via" Identifies a resource that is the source of the information in the context.
#
kevinmarks
which is different from "inspired by"

#
tantek
yes it's different. I'm also not convinced that definition of rel=via - as "blogging reference" is horribly generic
#
tantek
also, before we add any markup or ask anyone to - there must be a use case for consuming code for that markup
#
tantek
markup for markup's sake is a waste of time for the publisher :/
#
tantek
must be a *documented* use case
#
aaronpk
readers are a great way to imagine where something might be used
#
kevinmarks
I agree -I was responding to shaners 'via' citation, whcih si a common patter
#
kevinmarks
with blogs it was a post link; in twitter it's usually a username link
#
kevinmarks
though that may be a particular 'tweet this link' pattern

"no matter what you’re into, there’s a Twitter for that." - but certainly I don't want any email for that.

ben_thatmustbeme
actually looking at indiewebify.me ... i get and error if i put in my http:// version of my url
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Insecure redirect between and https://ben.thatmustbe.me/
#
ben_thatmustbeme
"insecure redirect" ?
#
aaronpk
http -> https redirects aren't secure because you started with http?
j12t joined the channel
#
aaronpk
seems like http->https should be followed, but i could see not following https->http

ben_thatmustbeme
huh, yeah, it should start out false and then break only if it goes from true to false. hmmm
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk: can you give me permissions to add a branch there, i have a fix
#
aaronpk
can you PR?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yes, i was going to do it in a branch, but i'll just make a fork
#
ben_thatmustbeme
more annoying is all
#
aaronpk
looks like there are tests as well
#
ben_thatmustbeme
really? none of them failed
#
aaronpk
odd. must not have been a test case for that kind of redirect check then
petermolnar joined the channel
#
aaronpk
basically we're talking about changing it so that http->https redirect is allowed and https->http redirect is still considered insecure
#
ben_thatmustbeme
huh, weird, there is a test
#
ben_thatmustbeme
so i guess my fix isn't working
#
ben_thatmustbeme
oh wait, no, it only has a test for https->http
#
ben_thatmustbeme
aaronpk: added test that fails previously and succeeds now
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i should have said, can i get added to https://github.com/orgs/indieweb/people
#
aaronpk
oh how are you not on there yet
#
aaronpk
huh what is your github username?
#
aaronpk
your invitation was already pending! from kylewm
#
aaronpk
sent it again
#
ben_thatmustbeme
huh, maybe i missed it somehow
#
ben_thatmustbeme
well i'm in now
#
aaronpk
just enabled travis for that library too
#
aaronpk
hopefully
#
aaronpk
it's hard to tel until there's an actual commit
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i really need to go through my github repos and delete all my forks that only had all of one PR and then i just stopped paying attention to them
#
aaronpk
hehe yeah
#
ben_thatmustbeme
heh, well thats funny, our payment processor started updating their opencart API again and forked FROM me for it
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i'm guessing new git account
#
ben_thatmustbeme
also, don't think i've ever seen this line before 'Couldn’t load network graph. Too many forks to display.'
