good evening #indiewebcamp
#
tantek
why are events hard?
#
GWG
Good evening, tantek.
uranther joined the channel
#
tantek
just went to FB to create a private event (since I don't support events nor private posts on my own site yet) and there's no obvious way to do it
#
tantek
There's a status text box, a button for photo/video, and a life event
#
tantek
but no button or obvious UI to create a new event
#
GWG
Someday I hope to have enough events to make event creation worth focusing on.

#
tantek
what is create?
#
Loqi
create in the context of the indieweb refers to the act of and UI for creating a new post, in its simplest form, a new note https://indiewebcamp.com/create
#
tantek
Perhaps the event system is completely different
#
tantek
ah, in the profile/events page there's a [ + Create Event ] button and [ ✏️ ] (Manage) button
#
tantek
a-ha, on the /events page (which redirects to events/upcoming ) There's also a [ + Create ] button in the left column
#
tantek
thus event creation is only provided contextually, when viewing your events or your calendar
#
tantek
I wonder if that's deliberate or just an accidental outcome of their current iterative UI

#

This is very odd. Their general "create" UI has a "life event" option but no "event" option. Do people really create more "life events" than "events"?!?
#
tantek
That seems unlikely
#
KartikPrabhu
from my personal anecdotal evidence -- yes
#
KartikPrabhu
as in I se more "life events" than "events" on my FB "wall"
#
tantek
really confused by that
#
KartikPrabhu
FB is mostly for "emotional" posting rather than "organisational" posts
#
KartikPrabhu
so life events like "moved to Chicago", "married to so and so", in a relationship etc... are more frequent
#
tantek
are life events really that frequent? You may be seeing more purely because of The Algorithm™
#
KartikPrabhu
than "hosting dinner"
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: oh sure maybe the Algo plays a part which why I prefaced with personal anectodal evidence
#
tantek
well the UI definitely *encourages* creating more life events
#
tantek
so that aspect may be deliberate
#
KartikPrabhu
which might feedback into them being more frequent as they are easier to create
#
KartikPrabhu
just like why I have more "notes" than "articles"
#
KartikPrabhu
on my site.
#
tantek
there's no reason a life event should be easier to create than a normal event
#
KartikPrabhu
that is a deliberate decision too on my part
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
They effectively wrap separate apps into tabs
#
[kevinmarks]
So you click events to go into the calendar app
#
tantek
but that's an incomplete / broken split
#
tantek
you don't go into the status app, nor the photos app, nor the videos app, nor the life events app
#
tantek
nor the checkin app
#
tantek
you *create* something by typing and then you add aspects to it
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: in a good UI yes I would agree
#
tantek
events / calendar is *different* in this regard, hence the questioning
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: I'm describing their existing UI for notes photos video
#
KartikPrabhu
yes, which is a good UI IMO
#
KartikPrabhu
that brings up a question: how many people on the Indieweb use a "unified" UI for different post-types?
#
tantek
I have a split between notes/photos/videos/rsvps, likes, articles
#
KartikPrabhu
I have notes/articles
#
KartikPrabhu
but yes that would be an interesting poll for Indieweb users :)
#
tantek
and I'm adding more to auto_link to eventually make it possible to write articles like notes

"gentrification of the web" wat?
adactio and friedcell joined the channel
emmak joined the channel
#
petermolnar
adactio "All times are Pacific Time unless otherwise noted in venues." you may want to add a GMT to the times
#
cweiske
.. or automatically adjust to the browser's timezone
#
cweiske
via javascript for example
#
petermolnar
cweiske that sentence is on the HWC page
#
petermolnar
the browser tz has nothing to do with it in this case
#
petermolnar
however, I believe the Brighton HWC is not in Pacific time 18:30 PM
#
cweiske
petermolnar, I'm saying that automatically converting times to the browser's timezone would help
#
petermolnar
I'd never try to automate timezones without confirmation
#
petermolnar
becase they are evil
#
cweiske
why wouldn't I want to see times in my timezone?
#
petermolnar
you might go through a proxy and end up seeing tz for the proxy
#
cweiske
what if conversion is done via javascript?
#
cweiske
so the original timezone is sent out, and the JS replaces it with the local time
#
petermolnar
I know technically it can be done, but instead of a fully automated, trying to be smart thing, I'd ask for a confirmation at the end ( are you sure this is going to be in Pacific time? You seem to be in CET right now. )
#
petermolnar
or just use UTC
#
cweiske
petermolnar, I would do it only do for display purposes
#
cweiske
not when editing
#
petermolnar
that is better, but the timezone should always be shown
#
cweiske
this could even be a browser feature

Morning! QQ: I run my site on middleman/GHPages (https://alpower.com) but am looking to set up a POSSE type setup for my posts (-> Medium) and also PESOS (for Instagram, Pinboard etc). Current blog is just a bunch of markdown files really. I believe I need to move beyond a static site to achieve this - does anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Am thinking I might have to move to something like DigitalOcean and either roll my own simple
#
alpower
find a suitable simple CMS that can handle this. Any advice/thoughts as to options?
#
petermolnar
alpower Medium pull in content via RSS, that is probably the easiest approach
#
petermolnar
for automatic PESOS you will need code, yes
#
alpower
thanks petermolnar - I'll have a dig into the indieweb site for more info on PESOS options.
#
petermolnar
for inspirations on instagram, I recommend looking at http://indiewebcamp.com/ownyourgram
#
tantek
petermolnar: do we have a good micropub -> GHPages solution yet?
#
petermolnar
I'm not aware of it, not being a big believer on GHpages
#
tantek
would seem to be doable, github auth and go
#
petermolnar
that is true
#
tantek
depending on static page formats of course
#
aaronpk
github pages is just a file hosting service, so it's actually more of a matter of micropub to whatever static site system you're using that publishes to github pages
#
aaronpk
for example someone could set up a micropub service that works with middleman, but it wouldn't necessarily work with a node.js based static site generator
#
sknebel
well, github pages has integrated jekyll support, so it's not *just* static file hosting
#
sknebel
if you have a jekyll setup that fits in what they support, they'll build your pages for you on push
#
aaronpk
true, but that's still just one of the many static site generators out there
#
aaronpk
also obvs not what alpower is using
#
alpower
as there's not really much there on my blog currently, I'm happy to change it :)
#
aaronpk
i'm not suggesting changing it :) use whatever is comfortable!

friedcell joined the channel
#
tantek
wow "gentrification of the web" seems to mean so many different things, it's like whatever people are annoyed about the web changing
#
alpower
sknebel yes - I run locally, then use a plugin as part of deploy process to GH pages.
#
tantek
maybe that's the problem with the term "gentrification?" - it's come to mean any change that the speaker dislikes?
#
alpower
which then itself commits changes, which GH pages deploys, which is then served up by CloudFlare
#
pfefferle
GWG I don't see anything that helps us preprocess anything...
#
tantek
fears he has stepped into a rabbithole
#
tantek
what is the gentrification of the web?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "gentrification of the web" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10Fr
#
GWG
pfefferle: If you can now store comment meta by putting it into $commentdata, then how many steps can you simplify the code by for one.
#
tantek
gentrification of the web is an expression used by writers to refer to changes happening (or expected) in the web that they dislike, disagree with, or fear.
#
sknebel
alpower: you might want to set it up with some continuous integration provider?
#
tantek
I blame you petermolnar
#
petermolnar
reading back
#
sknebel
so a possible PESOS solution would "just" have to add a new file to the repository
#
pfefferle
GWG but you can only access the remote source and not the $commentdata https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/36661
#
sknebel
and your page would automatically be rebuild and deployed?

pfefferle
GWG ok, I will have a look
#
pfefferle
GWG what about trackbacks?
#
petermolnar
tantek blame Loqi :P it was a tweet content
#
GWG
pfefferle: Trackbacks never had retrieval of the remote source. But with this, you could pull it at the preprocess_comment level as well.
#
GWG
pfefferle: Basically, add in the $remote_source_original in.

people are pretty good at sorting out conversation threads :) no need to jam a technological solution on top
#
petermolnar
sknebel nope, this is much better, I never like threads; @mention and quotes are way better
#

"subject" is one of the worst features of email. it both causes communication overload, and people fork email threads without changing subject :)

petermolnar meant to say: sknebel nope, this is much better, I never liked threads; @mention and quotes are way better

interesting, once you have created a post / comment, you cannot edit it in some ways, e.g. add a poll

Changing the photo does create a status-type post in the event, too. People can comment and like it.

CI SaaS are CircleCI, TravisCI, Jenkins, etc
#
bear
you can even use CircleCI as a way to get GHPages like behaviour from your static repos

@jonworth just to be clear: anything you syndicate to social networks using #indieweb will always lead back to your site (unlike FIA)

That's a very good point ^^^. POSSE > FIA

what is FIA?

It looks like we don't have a page for "FIA" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10Fu

what are instant articles?

Instant Articles is Facebook's odd combination of RSS and certain restricted kinds of HTML that they will show with their custom browser https://indiewebcamp.com/Instant_Articles

Nook is shutting down, but lucky users may get to keep some of their purchased books! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/04/barnes_and_noble_pulls_out_of_blighty/ [photo]

I was about to say at least it's ePub and Adobe DRM so you could load your books onto other devices, but apparently not according to that ^ (found on Wikipedia)

drm-- regardless

Oh man are there any other competitors even close to Kindle?

I guess Apple

kindle DRM is at least straightforward to strip (for personal archiving) from books you've bought

!tell sandro,rhiaro,aaronpk,ben_thatmustbeme Looks like IWC MIT needs some wikifying love (e.g. /2016/MIT/Schedule is missing, other pages too) Can you help with https://indiewebcamp.com/2016/MIT/Planning#To_Do ? Thanks!

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

That headline is kinda misleading. It's not Nook as a whole shutting down. But the future doesn't look good for Nook as a whole.
