aaronpk
it's somewhat of a subset of OAuth 2
#
[emmak]
and also confused over "indieauth.com" vs "indie auth protocol"
#
aaronpk
or rather, a subset which makes a bunch of decisions that OAuth 2 left unspecified
#
aaronpk
yeah that part is my fault, i never should have called that service indieauth.com
#
[kylewm]
aaronpk: the confusion I have had sometimes is that the authentication flow verifies your code against the authorization_endpiont, but the authorization flow verifies the code against the token_endpoint
#
aaronpk
in the authentication flow, there is no token endpoint, so it's verifying the code at the authorization endpoint
#
aaronpk
in the authorization flow, it's not "verifying" the code, it's actually exchanging the code for a token, so it talks to the token endpoint

hey indiewebcamp, I'm thinking about implementing an ephemeral URL system on my site, and wonder about prior art
#
npdoty
basically, I would add "/until6pm" to the end of a URL, and my server would give back a short url that forwards to the original URL if it's before 6pm that day, and afterwards returns 410
#
npdoty
but I'm curious if people have thoughts on this, or if someone has already done it and I can just use their code
#
aaronpk
what happens if you just take off the "/until6pm" part of the URL?
#
npdoty
I would give out a URL that didn't contain "until6pm", but was just an opaque short URL that redirected
#
npdoty
and maybe the landing page would know it was an ephemeral redirection and could include a banner asking the user not to share the URL
#
aaronpk
interesting
#
aaronpk
also hi! i saw you at the mapzen meetup the other night but didn't get a chance to say hi in person!
#
npdoty
and a retroactive hello to you too!
#
npdoty
I hadn't been to a mapping event in a while and was surprised at the number of familiar faces including people I thought lived in other states :)
#
tantek
kevinmarks - can you look into whether Peter would be willing to co-organize and what capacity he could get at Civic Space?
#
tantek
what is expiring?
#
Loqi
Expiring content is content that is only temporarily (ephemerally) relevant, and also part of a larger post, that can and should be (preferably automatically) removed once a particular datetime has passed (the expiration date) https://indiewebcamp.com/expiring
#
tantek
npdoty: ^^^
#
npdoty
cheers, thanks
#
npdoty
yeah, I wish expiration were built into all sorts of things on the Web
#
npdoty
also, why don't any mail clients use the Expiry: header?

sheesh - i've had the code editor open to add delete support to my webmention handler ... for 3 days now
#
bear
I knew about all of the challenges being an older person is tech held -- but no one warned me that I would get the most angst from simple the rate of change and having to manage it
#
aaronpk
that's how i feel about node.js right now
#
bear
(oops - letting my thoughts escape in the wrong context)
#
bear
oh my word - i've got so many thoughts on that
#
aaronpk
that is probably best left for a chat over 🍺
#
bear
most from knowing really well the people who formed the core of node.js when it started
#
bear
haha - yes!
#
bear
opens the editor and terminal windows again
#
bear
I will pass the delete test!
#
aaronpk
interesting indieweb use case, my realtor has a domain name that is her name, but it's just a redirect to her profile page at whatever firm she is currently at. I've known her for a few years now and she's moved around between firms, but keeps her domain name and email address throughout those moves.
#
bear
a lot of professionals (myself included) always have a mix of personal and firm/company cards on hand)
#
bear
not helping your point... :/
#
aaronpk
not sure what my point was
#
aaronpk
just an observation
#
bear
hmm, so she would have an h-card that is part her information and part of a contact/info item for her current gig
#
GWG
aaronpk, re the webmention draft, what is coming up implementation wise?
#
aaronpk
i'd say if you're following the chat in here about it, you're up to date
#
GWG
aaronpk, I always feel better with set documentation.
#
aaronpk
yeah, not much has changed functionally recently, but lots of admin tasks to get the spec ready
#
GWG
aaronpk, I have been immersed in webmentions lately, as you may have noticed.
#
aaronpk
the meta tag 410 delete thing is probably the biggest functional change if we can sort that out
#
aaronpk
i've also been writing a summary of the changes in a change log to make it easy to review
#
GWG
I have to figure out 410 on WordPress. Someone did create a plugin for it, but I am not sure I like the implementation.
#
GWG
Also, I think something happened to Bridgy today, and I need to check the logs

It shows up as a comment, as opposed to a like which shows up differently.

kylewm: I'm not sure how to best identify these things.

I'm wondering if Bridgy should give me a sign or if it is better to figure it out on my own.

Question: My rel=me link was working for Google in the past. Now it is not anymore, without me changing anything. Gives me "No rel=me link was found on https://plus.google.com/+marcthiele to http://marcthiele.com/" When logging in to the wiki.
#
marcthiele
What could possibly the problem. I have a link to my site in my google profile.
loic_m joined the channel
#
bear
is this for indieauth or ???

a quick test to see if rel=me is setup ok is to try it in https://indiewebify.me

bear
Level 1 step 2 has a test for web sign-in
#
marcthiele
Sorry, bear, it is.
#
marcthiele
I'll give it a try again there. Just wondering as it used to work.
#
marcthiele
Also, this morning over here, I get this error, no matter if I try to authenticate with GitHub or Twitter: "An unhandled lowlevel error occured. The application logs may have details."
#
bear
which site are you trying to log into?

!tell marcthiele it looks like for whatever reason, Google is not actually showing the link to your website in the HTML response that indieauth.com gets. They have a nasty habit of changing the HTML they send back depending on who's fetching it. I would start using Github instead of Google.

maybe also aws lambda. its free tier is 1y, which is a while, but gae's is permanent

i like servers, but my dedication to keeping them running wavers, and I dont want my site to go down because of that
#
[kevinmarks]
hm, noterlive is on heroku
#
bret
i just read gopl.io really digging go now. reminds me of my ES5 only node pals
#
bret
if you have more than one app on gae, does it all count against the same free teir pool? or does each one get its own set of free resources?
#
snarfed
bret: each app gets its own free tier
#
bret
cool

go++ . great language. wrote a big system in it as my last project at google

is Go's package management easier?

[kevinmarks]: it's good
#
snarfed
[kevinmarks]: and there's only one of it :P
#
bret
go feels more like node to me than python, but node people are more enamoured with rust, and python people seem to move to go so ???
#
bret
people compare go to java a lot too, which confuses me
#
bret
i dont see the crossover
#
[kevinmarks]
google writes a lot of stuff in Java, so that may be the target there

oh but also, a lot of the early node devs were ex-java people. like almost the entire wallmart labs team

KevinMarks
hm, spiderpig didn't work on kevinmarks.com
#

or rather it archived the homepage and didn't follow links

#
Loqi
aaronpk has 123 karma
#
KevinMarks
makes sense
#
KevinMarks
I'll wait until epeus completes firts
#
aaronpk
iirc it doesn't archive redirects across domain names
#
aaronpk
how long until IFTTT is bought by google?
#
Loqi
I don't know
#
KevinMarks
does it only archive same-domain images?
#
aaronpk
KevinMarks: i think so yeah
#
KevinMarks
I'll see how that works with blogger
#
aaronpk
yeah because it assumes you're going to host the resulting folder at the same domain that was archived, so there's no way to reference other-domain images
#
KevinMarks
I think they have an image hosting domain
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
aaronpk
it's made specifically for turning a rails/node/php site into HTML and continuing to serve that site from the same domain
#
KevinMarks
also, I hotlinked a lot of stuff on epeus, which is my own fault
#
aaronpk
so externally referenced images will still be externally referenced
#
KevinMarks
omg it's pulling all the comments feeds
#
aaronpk
like "i have this old wordpress site that i want to keep online don't want to keep maintaining wordpress"
#
aaronpk
s/wordpress/rails
#
KevinMarks
in this case blogger
#
KevinMarks
2198 files for my blogger blog
#
KevinMarks
oh wow, and copies of all the posts in the tag and month folders
#
KevinMarks
which makes a kind of sense
#
KevinMarks
the comment feeds are a bit odd
snarfed joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
ah, and it doesn't make URLs relative, which I suppose is fair enough
#
KevinMarks
given the use case
#
KevinMarks
or rtaehr ti does or images, but not for urls in saved pages
#
aaronpk
yeah it does very little munging of the HTML since it's creating a snapshot that will be dropped into place
#
KevinMarks
right, but if I wanted to do a 'how my site looked up until I redesigned' archive I'd have to mung all the urls
#
KevinMarks
hm, looks like it didn't liek fonts embedded via CSS
#
tantek
@font-face?
#
aaronpk
hm, i thought i was following url() calls in css files
#
aaronpk
that might be a bug then
#
KevinMarks
looks like the single quotes faield
#
aaronpk
easy fix then
#
aaronpk
wow i must not have had any quoted url values in the sites i was archiving

its though organizing, specially because it rapidly turns into something of a chore pretty quickly for a lot of people

#
aaronpk
omg hahaha I have a bunch of emoji comments now
#
snarfed
slowly backs away
#
aaronpk
"reactions" is a general term but I like "emoji responses" instead of reacji
#
snarfed
the industry has pretty clearly settled on "reactions" meaning emoji responses
#
snarfed
and not anything else
#
ben_thatmustbeme
whichever, i've already said reacji, and poopji plenty enough
#
kylewm
Slack calls them emoji reactions from what i can tell
#
ben_thatmustbeme
what does FB call them?
#
kylewm
GitHub "reactions"
#
kylewm
FB also reactions
#
Loqi
Skip Article Header. Skip to: Start of Article.
#
tantek
in both cases, they are not strictly emoji, merely an intersection of a few
#
kylewm
true!
#
aaronpk
I guess slack is the only one that actually used emoji
#
tantek
and since FB decided to generalize their existing "like" into "reactions", our pre-existing definition stands
#
aaronpk
although you can upload your own images and then they aren't technically emoji anymore right?
#
kylewm
what does Buzzfeed call the things like "WTF" "LOL" "Gross"
#
ben_thatmustbeme
kylewm: fixed that bad closing tag
#
tantek
what is a reaction?
#
Loqi
kylewm has 326 karma

Buzzfeed calls those Reactions also, they are definitely not emoji
#
kylewm
thanks ben_thatmustbeme!

#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: or I thought it did. hmm needs a more explicit definition
#
ben_thatmustbeme
as you can create you own custom ones with icons
#
ben_thatmustbeme
realistically they are all images, not emoji characters
#
tantek
ok - time for y'all bringing up these real world examples / usages of "reactions" to document them on their specific silo pages
#
tantek
at least
#
tantek
what is Buzzfeed?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Buzzfeed" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10K5
#
tantek
gRegorLove: I believe that's cited on /emoji already, if not, please add it
#
gRegorLove
Aha, so it is
#
tantek
I'll cogitate on https://indiewebcamp.com/responses#Post_Types a bit to see if I can come up with a suitable definition for "reaction" that incorporates our past usage and recent silo implementations
#
kylewm
tantek: is it maybe more valuable to documetn them on /reactions#Silo_Examples?
#
tantek
kylewm: no because that's not what that page means currently
#
tantek
that page needs a more intensive rethink / rewrite, while figuring out what to do with the existing content on it
#
tantek
there's interesting / useful history there that's worth keeping
#
gRegorLove
Buzzfeed is a meme, news, and entertainment site.

interesting regarding the custom emojis at Slack, so reacji is more of an "image"-response than an emoji response I guess? then it goes hand in hand with the sticker/animated-gif replies that Facebook Messenger uses as well
#

#

#
ben_thatmustbeme
i agree that these are really far more than just emoji, people can gather any replies they want really
#
tantek
kylewm: no it is broader that what were talking about right now
#
tantek
that is /reactions has a definition that is broader than what's being discussed here in the channel
#
voxpelli
kylewm: /reactions is a subset of /responses
#
tantek
reposts, bookmarks, quotation, invitation are broader
#
tantek
voxpelli: that's true but insufficient
#
tantek
that list of "reactions" goes beyond what the silos appear to be settling on
#
tantek
hence there is a difference of definition currently
#
kylewm
tantek: ahh misunderstanding is because i was looking at /reaction rather than /reactions :P
#
tantek
kylewm - yeah hence some more major wiki page rewriting is needed
#
snarfed
tantek: you're right that reactions has a page and definition (likes + reposts + rsvps + ...), but in practice i rarely hear people use it as that, here or elsewhere
#
voxpelli
have we documented sticker/image responses? would be interesting to look into where the line between sticker/image responses and reacji are. When does it become a reacji instead?
#
tantek
snarfed, agreed, and that's my point, need to think about how to update ours based on recent silo uses
#
snarfed
cool, sgtm
#
tantek
which also means a need to rethink how "responses" as a whole are segmented
#
tantek
I'm thinking of introducing a third subset of responses, follow-ups
#
tantek
follow-ups would include things like repost, bookmark, quotation, invitation
#
tantek
and I'm thinking of moving RSVP to being a form of reply
#
tantek
that would leave reactions as like / favorite, reacji
#
snarfed
do we really need all these umbrella and semi-umbrella terms?
#
KartikPrabhu
same question from me ^
#
aaronpk
why do we need to call it follow-up?
#
tantek
snarfed, we do, because we've had confusion trying to talk about either the general or the specific concepts in the past
#
aaronpk
that sounds confusing
#
tantek
and people used different terms to mean the same thing, and the same term to mean different things
#
snarfed
i'm not convinced. we have responses (or maybe interactions) as the catch-all, and then we have the individual types
#
tantek
and we got nowhere in lots of discussions
#
snarfed
i'm not sure we need any more than that
#
voxpelli
like / favorite is sometimes kind of a bookmark as well, at least on eg. Twitter
#
aaronpk
hierarchy--
#
Loqi
hierarchy has -2 karma
#
tantek
snarfed, you just made the point that there are "reactions"
#
snarfed
yes. i think they're the same thing as reacji, and that they're effectively a single type, like repost, reply, etc
#
tantek
voxpelli: I agree it used to be that way on twitter with the star but now that they've switched to heart - I bet it's no longer used like that
#
snarfed
wonders how he got himself into a terminology debate
#
gRegorLove
Heh. My previous comments here https://indiewebcamp.com/responses#Responses are now invalid due to wiki redirects being put back in place.
#
tantek
reacji are strictly speaking a resonse with a single emoji
#
tantek
not the same as a like as it were
#
voxpelli
tantek: I certainly do to a degree, although more restrictively to not imply endorsement wrongfully
#
kylewm
-1 on conflating like and bookmark
#
kylewm
based on the Like plugin for Known :P
#
tantek
kylewm: agreed - their use is quite different, especially when labeled as such in UIs
#
tantek
not going to let 1% edge case uses dictate definitions
#
voxpelli
kylewm: favorite / "starring" and bookmark certainly isn't the same thing, but they do have some crossover and can on certain occupations certainly mean the same thing
#
kylewm
yes definitely
#
kylewm
if you're only tool is a fav button, then people will use it for bookmarking

kylewm, voxpelli I'm less and less convinced of the start -> bookmark assertion. they're not searchable like bookmarks (typically) are, they often disappear into an uniterable list, etc.

tantek meant to say: kylewm, voxpelli I'm less and less convinced of the star -> bookmark assertion. they're not searchable like bookmarks (typically) are, they often disappear into an uniterable list, etc.
#
voxpelli
tantek: on GitHub they are very much searchable :)
#
tantek
gRegorLove: yes, responses are what we settled on (instead of interactions) after a lot of debate
#
tantek
voxpelli: nowhere else
#
tantek
github does not call them favorites either
#
gRegorLove
"or interactions" according to /responses
#
tantek
what are stars?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "stars" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10K7
#
tantek
what is a star?
#
Loqi
A favorite is a common webaction on many silos (like Flickr, Twitter), typically visually indicated with a star symbol that fills in with a color when activated (pink, orange). A favorite is similar to but somewhat different from a like https://indiewebcamp.com/star
#
tantek
do github stars mean favorites?
#
voxpelli
it's kind of undefined what they mean
#
KevinMarks
they mean 'notify me about this'
#
tantek
what does their alt text say?
#
voxpelli
but yeah, favorite is probably the closest thing
#
tantek
or any other UI aspects related to them?
#
kylewm
KevinMarks: that's "watch" right? i don't think starring something changes whether i get notifications about it
#
tantek
gRegorLove: yes, that "or interactions" I added to help deliberately transition uses of "interactions" to "responses"
#
gRegorLove
GH star serves as a bookmark of projects you're interested in / ranking popularity of the project
#
tantek
voxpelli: feel free to add Github's use of star (and note about searching) to https://indiewebcamp.com/star#Silo_Examples
#
gRegorLove
GH watch gives you notifications
#
tantek
gRegorLove: same same ^^^
#
KevinMarks
ah, right
#
voxpelli
gRegorLove: but also as a like and almost as a share :P it's the only way to share a project on GitHub
#
gRegorLove
Share how?
#
sknebel
If you follow somebody on github you see when they star something
#
gRegorLove
I guess there's the stream of "[user] starred [repo]"
#
voxpelli
gRegorLove: if you follow me and I star a project then you will see that I starred it and the creator of the project will see that I starred it
#
tantek
snarfed, aaronpk we have to give these things (sets) explicit names so that when we're talking about a specific set of them we know which set we are talking about - because there are different sets in terms of what shows up in UI, how they interact etc.
#
tantek
plus in many cases they already have different names and just need refined definitions
#
miklb

#
snarfed
tantek: eh. i understand the argument, i'm just not convinced those (sub)sets are so widely used, or matter much.
#
tantek
snarfed, which is why we document their usage
#
snarfed
if we use certain techniques (eg collapsing) for some types and not others, maybe we just refer to the techniques themselves for now
#
tantek
like reacji is a term, and reaction is a term, outside of indiewebcamp
#
snarfed
right, and i'd propose we merge them :P
#
tantek
so it's futile to say you're not convinced, doesn't matter, they're used wide enough outside that they exist
#
voxpelli
snarfed: -1 on merging reacji and reaction
#
tantek
but they're used differently so it makes sense to document as such

again, i don't think "reactions" is a set of types, i think it's a single type, and basically the same thing as reacji
#
aaronpk
alright who's making a diagram showing the hierarchy of terms
#
snarfed
some silos only offer a subset of emojis as reactions, but otherwise i think they're equivalent
#
voxpelli
snarfed: tantek: to me reacji is more a UI concept similar to facepile than a reactions concept in itself
#
tantek
snarfed, it's not, since the "fixed subset" vs. "any emoji" is a very different experience
#
snarfed
i disagree, but understood
#
gRegorLove
aaronpk: not it
#
tantek
since fixed subset is something you choose from a limited menu, vs. you can *type* any emoji for a reacji
#
tantek
very different UX and sense of what it means
#
kylewm.com
edited /Buzzfeed (+54) "/* Reactions */"
(view diff)
#
snarfed
understood
#
snarfed
we can agree to disagree :P'
#
voxpelli
the definition of reacji is basically "a reaction with content conisting purely of an emoji (or maybe image)"
#
tantek
it was lazy to call what Path and now Facebook do "reacji"
#
tantek
and imprecise
#
voxpelli
and then one makes a reacji-pile of it in the UI just like one makes a facepile of other raction types
#
tantek
and proves my point that we needed separate terms anyway, since FB is calling them reactions
#
snarfed
i'm out of terminology energy, i'll follow you all wherever
#
tantek
voxpelli: not true re: definition of reacji, it does strictly imply emoji
#
tantek
where does the "maybe image" come from?
#
aaronpk
on slack you can upload custom images
#
aaronpk
and use them along with the other emoji
#
voxpelli
tantek: Slack's reactjis supports arbitrary images
#
tantek
and they still call them reacji?

reactions
#
voxpelli
they make no difference between standard and custom emojis and even provide 10-20 custom emojis by default
#
snarfed
i think we're the only community that calls anything "reacji" on an ongoing basis :P
#
gRegorLove
Slack is always showing an image, regardless, not an emoji character.
#
tantek
like you could upload your own facial expressions and use them as reacji?!?
#
aaronpk
absolutely
#
voxpelli
custom emojis are pretty core to the Slack culture
#
tantek
voxpelli: where is this "core" documented?
#
snarfed
we use them heavily at work
#
tantek
so far I've only seen emoji reacji on Slack
#
aaronpk
i'm sure there are plenty of Medium posts about it :P
#
tantek
I'm just disagreeing with assertion of "core" if someone hasn't documented it yet

if my slack channels were public i could provide lots of screenshots

#
aaronpk
no, definitely core to slack culture
#
tantek
and no one has written about it?
#
kylewm
the Slack page does have a screenshot of someone calling them reacji
#
tantek
even with all the hype around Slack?
#
tantek
I find that unlikely
#
aaronpk
i'm sure someone has written about it
#
snarfed
kylewm: maybe so! once. but i doubt ongoing :P
#
tantek
snarfed, you think Slack themselves changed their terminology?
#
tantek
I'm going to ask some friends that work there
#
snarfed
tantek: no, i doubt they ever officially called their feature reacji
#
kylewm
yeah "reacji" is an unfortunate mix of silly sounding and kinda technical/plumbing centric :)
#
snarfed
i expect a few people called it that a few times internally, maybe externally, unofficially

Is there a question about custom Slack emoji not being documented? https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/206870177-Creating-custom-emoji
#
tantek
snarfed, no, Slack employees referred to the feature as "reacji" in in-person conversations
#
snarfed
yes, i think that's what i said
#
tantek
I mean in practice they used the term reacji
#
tantek
that's official enough :P
#
snarfed
yes, i think that's what i said
#
tantek
not sure what you mean by "officially" then or why that's useful?
#
snarfed
no, official product terms are different than saying things in personal conversation
#
kylewm
I'd argue the latter is more meaningful :)
#
tantek
well if someone can get ahold of their product pitch they make to why companies should pay for slack, including list of features, perhaps that will answer it :P

#

Slack is a closed-source team communication tool similar to IRC but with expanding support for various types of content such as emoji polls, inline images, and attachments https://indiewebcamp.com/Slack
#
tantek
gRegorLove: we have a bigger problem

voxpelli

and Loqi claimed they'd be regenerated at 13:00 PDT

sknebel
twitch chat also has custom reaction/smileys whatever. Many channels have them as a subscriber-bonus
#
tantek
kylewm: perhaps emoji could be the alt-text of an reacji image
#
voxpelli
kylewm: probably a reason for an indieweb reacji to support custom emojis through images in additions to standard emojis, only way to know the correct reaction will be carried through

why not tweeji while we're at it? it that better snarfed? :P
#
tantek
although perhaps that's for smaller reacji since jumbomoji are for larger ones
#
tantek
that reacji is so small it's twee
#
voxpelli
no one else agreeing that just as much as a Facepile is a design element popularized by eg. Facebook, then Reacji is a _design element_ popularized by Slack?
#
tantek
snarfed: I think you're safe, only one use of reacjweet on twitter: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=reacjweet&src=typd
#
voxpelli
Slack saw how people reacted with emojis to other peoples posts and decided to improve the _presentation_ of that
#
snarfed
voxpelli++ i agree
#
Loqi
voxpelli has 74 karma
#
tantek
voxpelli: no because there's no description of the presentation
#
tantek
face*pile* is visually descriptive
#
voxpelli
reacji is just an *emoji*pile though?
#
tantek
on Slack you could call them voteji since they show counts :P
#
tantek
what is a reacjweet?
#
Loqi
A reacjweet is a reacji posted as a tweet https://indiewebcamp.com/reacjweet
#
tantek
KevinMarks: ^^^ add your examples there
#
voxpelli
the voting part isn't necessary I think, one could decide merge to make reacji's more facepily as well
#
voxpelli
it's kind of odd actually to show an avatar for a repost and a like, but not to show an avatar for a reacji, one probably has to do one or the other – either do voting for everything or facepiles for everything
#
KevinMarks
when gillmor gang finishes
#
tantek
voxpelli: can't tell without more examples
#
tantek
for now, since Slack is the only "voting" like example, if you think their presentation is important, you have to take it as-is
#
KevinMarks
the badging I do would work for reacji too
#
sknebel
Github is also voting-like
#
tantek
were you to sketch/build your own way of summarizing reacji, then we could have a discussion about it :)
#
voxpelli
KevinMarks: yeah, both you and me actually use emojis already to badge our facepiles :)
#
tantek
sknebel: a-ha! two examples, perhaps take tight screenshots and compare to see if you can discern all the common elements
#
voxpelli
tantek: so yeah, both me and KevinMarks kind of already have emojis in our facepiles, I just need to parse out reacji-data so that we can badge the faces with those as well
#
KevinMarks
and mine need a bit more separation
#
voxpelli
the upside of Slacks presentation compared to a face-pile presentation is that Slacks presentation are also buttons, so one can easily add the same reaction (and that typically happens a lot)
#
tantek
looking forward to seeing your designs!
#
KevinMarks
hm, you could wrap them in web actions
#
tantek
aaronpk did you blacklist jsbin.com from iwc indieauth?
#
tantek
noting "New Community Members" in this-week
#
tantek
hmm, possibly herokuapp.com also
#
voxpelli
KevinMarks: yeah, would have to do that then + set up an indieconfig that would work ro reacji
#
KevinMarks
if people repost and like, should you show their face with 2 emoji?
#
voxpelli
tantek: herokuapp.com is where I host my webmention endpoint :P
#
aaronpk
can't right now
#
tantek
but you shouldn't be indieauthing with it!
#
KevinMarks
well, it's a reply with a specific char
#
tantek
it's not your identity
#
voxpelli
KevinMarks: I think that would make sense, either collapse on avatar or on action
#
KevinMarks
voxpelli: your webmention tool needs a better name
#
voxpelli
tantek: nope, as long as the blacklist doesn't go beyond indieauthing I'm cool :)
#
voxpelli
KevinMarks: I'm on it

what is Jumbomoji
#
Loqi
jumbomoji is Slack's term for presenting enlarged emoji's when a post contains nothing but emojis – a design concept popularized by Facebook Messenger https://indiewebcamp.com/jumbomoji

KevinMarks: I was pixels away form accidentally ordering a new premium domain name for $10k before I realized that it didn't cost the $55 I expected it to
#
tantek
whoa! which TLD?
#
snarfed
i doubt we want to blacklist all of herokuapp.com. it's a good hosting service. people should be allowed to host their personal sites on it
#
tantek
wait, .ouch is a thing?
#
voxpelli
tantek: three letter domain on .tech
#
tantek
snarfed, let's blacklist until we have a legit example show up and ask why it's not working
#
tantek
so far we have a non-example
#
KevinMarks
I was about to suggest using my flowpast.com domain for it, when I saw that
#
tantek
thus we should adapt accordingly
#
tantek
what is .tech?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for ".tech" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10KB
#
snarfed
one bad actor means we blacklist an entire service? seems draconian
#
tantek
voxpelli: ^^^ could you document that warning about $10k?!?
#
snarfed
let's blacklist the one bad actor
#
tantek
more like it highlights a silo we had not yet blacklisted
#
voxpelli
tantek: I think it applies across many of the new TLD:s, which is a bit dangerous as https://domainr.com/ gives great suggestions with them :P
#
KevinMarks
I also have meemoji.com which I need to do something with
#
tantek
what are short domains?
#
Loqi
short domains are commonly used on the IndieWeb for personal URL shortening, or clever domain hacks https://indiewebcamp.com/short-domains
#
tantek
voxpelli: ^^^ we've been documenting bad ones so far there
#
tantek
feel free to add to that existing page too

snarfed: it's not about blacklisting a service as a hosting provider, it's about the ID
#
aaronpk
sure use heroku, but point your own domain to it
#
snarfed
aaronpk: right, but some people might use a herokuapp.com subdomain as their id for a while
#
snarfed
like tumblr, blogspot, hosted known etc
#
aaronpk
not to log in to the wiki they won't
#
aaronpk
current blacklist is github.io, wordpress.com, blogspot.com, livejournal.com
#
snarfed
sure we encourage them to get their own domain, but it's nice to have a warm welcome
#
aaronpk
having your own domain is step 1
#
snarfed
so it's a value/policy we're intentionally choosing?
#
aaronpk
even if you don't do any other indiewebcamp related things, we encourage people to have their own domain because that's where data and identity ownership starts
#
aaronpk
and just to clarify, this blacklist is on wiki logins, not on indieauth.com
#
KevinMarks
it is a bit tricky as it does require them to spend $10/year

@benwerd Google rankings tend to love indieweb stuff. I bet we publish differently than they expect a typical site to

well no kidding. our pages are smaller, faster, and better marked up than the bloated cesspool spiral that the "corporate" web is diving into

wow I just got the most awesome warning message in Twitter on an "older" Safari: You are on Twitter Mobile because you are using an old version of Safari.

IT IS SO FAST

rrix I'm now considering changing my autolinker to automatically link to mobile.twitter for any @-name or twitter.com status permalink
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
Shame that m.foursquare.com stopped working
#
kylewm
tilde.club is pretty indie, categorically different than tumblr et al
#
snarfed
but still not your own domain, which was the key point
#
rrix
thats not a bad idea at all, tantek
#
snarfed
seems like something you might want to let your viewers decide? rather than decide for them?
#
kylewm
I like the tilde.club spirit of like knowing your sysadmin/person who owns the domain
#
kylewm
even if it's not quite the same of you owning the domain
#
tantek
snarfed, I think some amount of policy decision is inevitable in an autolinker - just have to be deliberate about why
#
[kevinmarks]
For @ names you could link to the intent page that has hCard
#
tantek
e.g. I have a few domains whitelisted as auto-HTTPS
#
tantek
KevinMarks: I was just thinking that! Should I pop them up too?
#
tantek
(target=twitter-profile or something
#
tantek
I need to fix that anyway, shaners filed an issue about h-x-username making it sound like a microformat in progress / experiment which it isn't really
#
tantek
he made the point that anything "microformatty" (not sure if he said that word in particular) in my markup in particular is something he was paying extra attention to (thus others may) as something to copy
#
tantek
forgot to ask barnabywalters if he cared
#
[kevinmarks]
If you made it an h-card, and link to the intent?
#
tantek
an @-name is insufficient to make an h-card by itself
#
tantek
hence why barnabywalters and I came up with h-x-username
#
tantek
I might use a vendor prefix though instead of x
#
tantek
or library prefix in this case I suppose. h-cassis-
#
gRegorLove
tantek: Related, I noticed the microformats/test suite has an 'h-as-note' test based on your notes
#
kylewm
kill it with fire!
#
tantek
I feel like there's a lesson to be learned in here somewhere
