tantek
also re: event month names vs. numbers, what about headings for the month names / numbers?
#
tantek
so the individual events just have day?
#
tantek
or day-day ?
#
tantek
shall I try it
#
aaronpk
well regardless of the name, I need a thing that parses a page and gives me a sane version of it, while also archiving the page as it exists at that time
#
aaronpk
basically embed.ly + archive.org
#
Schnitz
tantek yes it might add accessibility at first glance, checked it now
#
aaronpk
but less tailored specifically to blog posts/articles
#
KevinMarks
are you going to archive images etc too?
#
aaronpk
i am already archiving images

aaronpk: not sure if this is germane, but have you seen Amber? http://amberlink.org
#
aaronpk
oh yeah, looked at that a little bit ago
#
aaronpk
for now I'm mostly just interested in archiving the parsed version, not necessarily full on archive.org style
#
bear
i've got a couple incomplete implementations of that in my closet - mf2, html but not css or images
#
aaronpk
[miklb]: while you're here, what's up with the 2-3 requests per second to webmention.io with perPage=9999?
#
bear
I stopped because getting even the full html from a sight with heavy js usage can be tough - so much is built now in the browser with tools like react and the like

aaronpk: not sure. Can you give me more details? I use the webmention.io plugin for my jekyll site
#
aaronpk
a ruby script is making a whole bunch of requests, but it's been going for hours
#
aaronpk
getting api/mentions?target[]= with a bunch of different URLs
#
[miklb]
let me look at my local install, but Iā€™m not aware of anything running. I build the site in Travis and deploy the compiled HTML.
#
aaronpk
does your deploy crawl webmention.io looking for mentions of each page or something?
#
gRegorLove
tantek: Did you see my comments earlier about month and day? We can display the full month name via template easily, only entering the yyyy-mm-dd once.
#
gRegorLove
Could also display days only if you wanted to group by month, though the group-by-month would be a manual process.
#
aaronpk
that almost looks like one of those fake wordpress comments
#
aaronpk
"I really enjoyed reading this post. Pleaes continue writing more on your blog. I have subscribed"
#
Schnitz
on sc we get fake account owners actually writing nice but enigmated comments, just so you wonder and follow the account back and there is an ad or so... really weird, since deleting that comment then seems a bit harsh in a way, since it most likely written by a person and *does* have something to do with you...

Vendan
question, https://github.com/microformats/tests/blob/master/tests/microformats-v2/h-as-note/note.json#L32 is showing & for ampersand, but html fragment serialization says it should be encoded as &
#
KevinMarks
that would make more sense
#
KevinMarks
and it is & in the html source
#
Vendan
yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me to have something that's labeled as html, but isn't actually valid html
#
KevinMarks
so yes, fix the result

reviewing my communication protocol page
#
aaronpk
"The best way to respond to something I've written is to post on your own site." with a link to http://indiewebcamp.com/2012/Sessions#Own_Your_Comments
#
aaronpk
in the session description: "One way to handle comments is through the pingback or trackback protocols, both of which are widely implemented in many major blogging platforms. We can discuss the merits and drawbacks of each, and other possible solutions. A workshop session could involve implementing trackbacks/pingbacks on your own site, or implementing a new mechanism for using them."

#
Vendan
it's siloized pretty irc
#
aaronpk
so is IRC tho
desttinghim joined the channel
#
Vendan
I can spin up my own complete IRCd and have my own irc network running in about 10 minutes. I'll admit that IRC is slightly siloized, but nowhere near the level of slack
#
aaronpk
the only thing that IRC has over Slack is that the protocol is (somewhat) standardized, so you can use an off-the-shelf client with your own IRC server
#
aaronpk
but freenode can't talk to oftc
#
aaronpk
and conversely, you can join Slack rooms with clients other than the official Slack client
#
Vendan
you can join any irc channel with any client, so that's not a plus for slack
#
desttinghim
Has someone tried a non-siloized approach to chat?
#
aaronpk
not really
#
Vendan
irc is just push for text messages, it's up to you if you want to store them or whatever
#
tantek
I thought matrrix was working on that
#
aaronpk
i think Matrix is the closest

lol true

it might work like that to remove the month number. would also probably make the events that actually do span multiple days clearer

question, https://github.com/microformats/tests/blob/master/tests/microformats-v2/h-as-note/note.json#L41 shows "value" keys for children, but the parsing spec makes no mention of it

is it supposed to be there, and if so, how is it supposed to be derived?

!tell snarfed there seems to be an issue with responses getting back to my tumblr. I commented on both twitter and FB to a post that I possied thru bridgy, and after 12 hours, nothing showed up. I could manually crawl for twitter https://brid.gy/twitter/belp_audio# then the commentary shows up via disqus on my tumblr post, but I haven't found a way to manually crawl FB and the FB responses...

petermolnar
sknebel I'm really, heavily against the trend which helps avoiding learning anything, including compiling a thing that is probably one of the easiest to compile of all
#
petermolnar
nginx code is clean, clear, and really easy to compile, even with extra module
#
sknebel
petermolnar: understandable, and nginx is probably stable enough that missing distro-updates is survivable
#
petermolnar
with the dynamic modules we're about to see precompiled proprietary modules, which makes me sad
#
sknebel
I'd bet a big push comes from their commercial variant
#
sknebel
can't have commercial software you've paid for you still have to compile yourself!!111
#
sknebel
or something like that
#
petermolnar
I think it's the reverse, you can't compile our special stuff for yourself, because than you'd have the source

forgot to step on my scale this morning to test it

kylewm
it's hard to tell if it's their fault or mine, there is not much diagnostic information
#
terminalpixel_
kylewm: You can see some form of logs if you look at your recipe on the site.
#
terminalpixel_
I use it for pulling reddit likes and stuff into my site and I've not had any issue, not quite proper micropub though
#
aaronpk
if this works well i'll write up a little tutorial
#
aaronpk
it does require that your micropub endpoint accept the access token in the post body instead of the http header, since IFTTT can't set http headers
#
terminalpixel_
Yeah I do it in basically the same way but send more simplified data than a full micropub document to specific endpoints with an access token.
#
aaronpk
the nice this is a "full micropub document" is actually pretty small
#
aaronpk
"h=entry&bookmark-of={{url}}&access_token=xxxxx" would do it

Hmm yeah, not fully got my head around micropub quite yet :P

down to as little as once a day if it's been a month since your last (successful) wm
benwerd joined the channel
#
Schnitz
snarfed ah, smart, thought so
#
[kevinmarks]
The threading/nesting model assumes a single shared conversation space, which isn't true of the web, or twitter really
#
Schnitz
snarfed does the polling intervals go up again automatically now that I use it again?
#
tantek
KevinMarks: as with many things, depends on the presentation
#
snarfed
Schnitz: yes. every 20m if it's sent you a wm in the last week
#
tantek
"single shared conversation space" can be made true, if you support receiving salmentions and show all comments on your original post, like ben_thatmustbeme does
#
Schnitz
awesome ... thats pretty neat BTW
thehighfiveghost joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
Right, but the respondents may have only seen a subset of the comments when they are standalone posts, so presenting as deeply nested replies can be misleading
#
tantek
"deeply nested replies" are generally seen as an archaic leftover from Slashdot/Reddit style bad design
#
tantek
sites seems to have coalesced on 1 or 2 deep max
#
aaronpk
i will say i actually quite like facebook's one level deep reply nesting
#
tantek
aaronpk: which is thus 2 levels of comments on an original post
#
tantek
that's what I meant by "2 deep max"
#
tantek
whereas twitter is 1 deep
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yeah, it lets side conversations go on without getting too far fromt he original
#
aaronpk
yeah. I think I will attempt to do that once I support showing replies to replies on original posts
#
tantek
(no comments = 0 deep)
bengo joined the channel
#
aaronpk
I *think* i have all the data/structure I need in order to do that now, so it is likely just a presentation problem for me

what is micropub?
#

Micropub is an open API standard that is used to create posts on one's own domain using third-party clients https://indiewebcamp.com/Micropub

"Micropub is an open API standard that is used to create posts on one's own domain using third-party clients. Web apps and native apps (e.g. iPhone, Android) can use Micropub to post short notes, photos, events or other posts to your own site."
#
[shaners]
Is the part about "on one's own domainā€Ā and "to your own siteā€Ā really necessary? Micropub can be used to post to sites other than my own, right?
#
aaronpk
that is true, but that is the primary goal
#
aaronpk
i actually use micropub to post to twitter now ;)

tantek, aaronpk: For /events do you want a template that shows the day(s)-only in a box, similar to /User:Gregorlove.com/sandbox, or just in bold text "##ā€“##"?
#
tantek
gRegorLove: I would start with a VERY simple linear flow text template that looks pretty much like they do now
#
tantek
no need to change the presentation and plumbing at the same time
#
aaronpk
I still am completely against the "mm-dd" display
#
tantek
aaronpk: ok I'll revert it
#
aaronpk
"yyyy-mm-dd" is fine until we come up with a better design
#
gRegorLove
aaronpk: Me too. I meant days-only for ##-##
#
petermolnar
aaronpk I've been preparing to use micropub once in the future; for that, I first need to automate all the logic I apply manually on a post right now ( eg. has attached image, image has exif, exif has certain values => photo ); is this only an issue for me?
#
aaronpk
petermolnar: not sure what you mean?
#
gRegorLove
"March" for the heading, "14ā€“15 IndieWebCamp MIT..." for the first line
#
gRegorLove
That's what I was thinking if I templatized
#
petermolnar
I post various things: photos (images I take), things (short notes, bookmarks, etc), long things ("articles"); some of them needs some magic, depending on their type, which I used to to by hand ( select Format, select Category, apply Tags, etc. )
#
petermolnar
these things I'm trying to automate as much as possible, but it's a long way
#
aaronpk
ah. yeah I went through that process with my new site. mostly following /post-type-discovery on my posts

#
tantek
gRegorLove: can you do a simple template with no fancy design anything?
#
tantek
just something that generates the h-event markup that we currently have to copy/paste?
#
petermolnar
yes, I'm applying the rules of post-type-discovery, but adding some extra: for example, I store webmention reply as an extra field and checking if that url contains anything supported by bridgy, if yes, post to bridgy
#
petermolnar
all the small things are adding up, but I'm making a progress
#
petermolnar
at least I'll have something to talk about if there will be an IWC Brighton this year
#
tantek
petermolnar: have you asked adactio about IWC Brighton?
#
petermolnar
I've asked adactio about it, no plans yet
#
tantek
perhaps suggest July or August when it's nice in Brighton :)
#
petermolnar
nice and expensive :D

petermolnar
by the way, the UK has beautiful springs and autumns, unlike the summers

What's the reasoning for not using "February 9, 2016" for the display date again? Just realized these iterations on /events are already coming close to that.
#
tantek
gRegorLove: because ISO8601 > RFC822 :P
#
tantek
!standards
#
gRegorLove
So why'd we go down this road of moving away from ISO8601?

not as much that as noticing that we had a "2016" heading so could imply from context...

tantek: So what do you think of https://indiewebcamp.com/User:Gregorlove.com/sandbox#Latest_concepts ? I don't think I care for it for one-day events.
#
tantek
I think it will look odd for anything *after* the first event in a month heading
#
tantek
that's the problem with that "use heading as label" approach
#
tantek
also seems odd to duplicate it with the When: line
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, the day number seems too far detached from the month it occurs in
#
tantek
if you want a When line it should just have the time
#
gRegorLove
I can eliminate that; that's leftover from when I was making a separate box for the date.
#
tantek
gRegorLove: anyway, I'd say for now, let's just go with a simple template that replicates the existing markup on /events
#
gRegorLove
s/eliminate/eliminate or simplify/
#
Loqi
gRegorLove meant to say: I can eliminate or simplify that; that's leftover from when I was making a separate box for the date.
#
tantek
that way we can make it at least easier to *author* events there
#
tantek
while we *separately* discuss / evolve design
#
tantek
no need to tie those two together (authoring and visual design)
#
gRegorLove
The latest /events markup, or the way it was a couple days ago? :)
#
tantek
latest is basically what it's been for a year plus
#
tantek
since I reverted the hiding of year
#
tantek
the one or two day event templates to copy/paste are also in the HTML comments of /Events

tantek
meanwhile, experiments continue...

take a look gRegorLove ^^^

what do you think?
#
gRegorLove
Hm. Don't have strong feelings about it either way. I might prefer: [date]: [title] with [time] on the following line.
#
gRegorLove
Easy to change in the template though. I'm updating /Template:one-day-event for simple events now.
#
tantek
yeah that would require template magic
#
gRegorLove
Already using template magic :)
#
tantek
and let's see if you can figure out how to do that with multiple time elements, value class pattern etc. ;)
#
gRegorLove
Most of the inputs to /Template:one-day-event are set up, just changing how they're displayed currently.

ah, no left/right arrow keypress support for next/prev nav
#
aaronpk
I had to disable my left/right arrow shortcuts
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, I noticed Twitter finally caught up to your UI, tantek :) Yours is better though.
#
aaronpk
it was conflicting with peoples' expected browser behavior
#
tantek
aaronpk: how? there is no horizontal scroll in their layout
#
aaronpk
might work okay on twitter
#
tantek
nothing to conflict with
#
aaronpk
i used to have a read-only text input that would show the short URL for my posts, so if you put your cursor in that and tried to move around to select the text you'd end up navigating away
#
tantek
aaronpk - sounds like a default event handling vs bubbling bug
#
tantek
you could have fixed that so it worked when you selected
#
aaronpk
i actually changed it to be alt+left and alt+right which I liked better
#
tantek
the "Working On" and "Itches" lists grow faster than I can implement (and delete) from them

#

You identified it. New individuals have trouble joining in with WordPress because it is a collection of optional pieces.
#
tantek
previously that was the Drupal dilemma
#
tantek
making Drupal useful depended on knowing which *set* of extensions to install
shiflett joined the channel

GWG
Making WordPress Indieweb capable requires the same.
#
tantek
you can simplify that by making the one IndieWeb plugin useful right away
#
GWG
I am working on that now. That is why I am driving myself crazy.
#
tantek
stick with the minimal additional scope we previously discussed
#
tantek
rel=me + h-card. good enough for IndieAuth logins, and replacing use of Gravatar with your own site!
#
GWG
I am sticking with that scope.

I just keep thinking about how to make it so it will be easy.

There are a lot of profile plugins out there. None that do this though.
#
GWG
Visual appeal is hard.
#
tantek
GWG, start with *only* the list of "other profiles" that are currently supported by /IndieAuth
#
tantek
not a list of "any random social silo"
#
GWG
I designed it to have that, and an optional box for anything random.
#
tantek
then for the h-card, keep it REALLY simple, like name, photo, city/state/country, bio/note, and maybe t-shirt size just for fun

So it has to do what I want. Minimalism is not the best option.
#

But flashy isn't either

When I wrote Syndication Links, I included icon fonts for the silo icons.
#
tantek
minimalism is a good default
#
tantek
especially for IndieAuth etc.
#
tantek
if you want it to do more, you can add extra options for that later
#
GWG
People are used to the visual representation of the silos.
#
tantek
the key is to get to a v1 that includes IndieAuth rel=me links, and h-card
#
GWG
I intend to have that before the month is out.
#

re: visual representation of the silos. That's why screenshot and document them on the wiki! :)

Icons over words.

Admittedly, your site ends up looking like a NASCAR.

aaronpk, not knocking it.
#

aaronpk may I suggest rainbow re-ordering it? ;)
#
aaronpk
ooh haha
#
GWG
I was just pondering the idea that even on our own sites, we are encouraged to put silo symbols
#
aaronpk
right now they are in rough order of how often i use them plus also related ones are together
#
Vendan
yeah, that seems kinda odd to me
#
Vendan
like free advertising

you don't *have* to link to them...

if I did it, I'd put something like "And here's the places I'm trying to get away from: "

#
GWG

#
tantek
are they committed to using your plugin?
#
GWG
tantek, I wrote the code already. It was in Syndication Links.
#
GWG
I am shifting some of it over before pulling it out.
#
Vendan
GWG, just saying that parts of the spec for rel=me are links that never even touch the source code to the page
#
GWG
Vendan, I know.
#

Either way, I will continue to struggle.
