table the u-inline-style class names problem post until tomorrow
#
tantek
and instead, write a post about what Webmention means to *you* personally
#
tantek
and publish that today
#
KevinMarks
I am busy rewriting this one now
#
tantek
sure, schedule it for tomorrow
#
tantek
then braindump a paragraph or two on Why Webmention Matters
#
tantek
and make that your post of today
#
tantek
(that you POSSE to Medium etc.)

tantek, do you have a page of recent articles other than your home page?
loic_m joined the channel

tantek
cweiske all I have is my "most recent articles" box in the right column

for my longer blog posts that have more structure (and explicitly named)
#
cweiske
I'd like to subscribe to them
#
cweiske
because your normal posts are too noisy
#
tantek
to just the longer articles?
#
cweiske
for my taste, that is
#
tantek
sure, no problem
#
tantek
if I made that div into its own h-feed with an ID would that work for your reader?
#
tantek
it would only pull down permalink + article name
#
tantek
but presumably readers are good at retriving article contents from permalinks when not provided inline?

#

are there readers that support multiple h-feeds per page?
#
tantek
that is a very good question - if there were, presumably they would allow selecting a specific fragment identifier h-feed element
#

#
cweiske
which-hfeed-was-meant-with-that-fragment
#
cweiske
an id on the hfeed element would at least get us rid of the fragmention
#
tantek
right, then assuming it's an h-feed, you just parse it for microformats as you would normally, p-name for feed title etc.
#
tantek
interesting, this might be a use-case for a plain h-entry with no explicit properties
#
tantek
I wonder if it can work
nitot joined the channel
#
tantek
cweiske: ok done.
#
cweiske
thanks. now I need to hack my feed reader to support it
#
tantek
h-feed there with a brief p-name, and then a bunch of nested h-entry's with implied name and URL
#
Loqi
Tantek Çelik
#
tantek
this will be an interesting experiment. thanks for the suggestion cweiske!
#
tantek
should post a new blog post just to iterate it
#
KartikPrabhu
why not use rel-feed and a URL to identify multiple feeds on a page?
#
cweiske
then you still need the reader to support #anchors in feed urls

KartikPrabhu: what use-case does rel-feed help in this case?
#
tantek
what is rel-feed?
#
Loqi
rel-feed is the standard for linking to multiple (potentially alternative) h-feeds from a site's homepage using the code rel="feed" on those links https://indiewebcamp.com/rel-feed
#
KartikPrabhu
what is feed-discovery?
#
Loqi
feed discovery is a way to, given someone's home page, discover their feed or feeds that they publish https://indiewebcamp.com/feed_discovery
#
KartikPrabhu
just checking
#
cweiske
readers don't have to do microformat parsing just to get a list of feeds from a page
#
tantek
cweiske: would appreicate your feedback on https://indiewebcamp.com/rel-feed
Jj joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: interesting that feed-discovery does not "officially" had rel-feed in it; but Bridgy does use it to find feeds. But even on the same page, linking with a URL with fragment might help discovery
#
tantek
I'm going to bed, but will check logs in the morning. If you think it would be particularly useful if I included explicit markup like <link rel="feed" type="text/html" title="Tantek’s recent articles" href="#recent-articles" /> let me know and I can add it in the morning. Otherwise I'm interested in whether just looking for all the h-feed elements on a page is sufficient.
#
KartikPrabhu
looking for h-feed with a u-uid which is the URL with fragment should be good too
#
cweiske
what is u-uid?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "u-uid" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10M5

#
tantek
wow that's quite a testimonial!
#
Loqi
[Ben Werdmüller] I really regret releasing Known as an open source platform first. A very poor decision, made with ideology rather than strategy.
#
aaronpk
well it depends on the goal as to whether releasing it as open source is a good idea
#
tantek
except maybe the word "platform". don't release "platforms". ship stuff that just helps users (which Known did/does!) and nevermind about trying to be a "platform" until you're like 100s millions users deep

It would be lovely to use Webmention in #scholcomm, eg for publication/data linking, but https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention/issues/42 http://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/
(twitter.com/_/status/735521362358468608)
#
tantek
KevinMarks: ^^^ that description documents enough of the flat file store (https://indiewebcamp.com/Falcon#Storage_format specifically) for folks to build code using any mf2 parser
#
tantek
which they should do *instead* of using my existing Falcon storage code, because I wrote my existing storage code *before* mf2 parsers were available so it's a giant mf2-ish parser hack
#
sknebel
tantek: do you have a cache in front of that or does all that run for every request?
#
tantek
lol DOI (re: issue 42)
#
tantek
sknebel: *every request*
#
sknebel
thanks (I always worry unspecifically about performance (which is a bad habit), so I was curious)
#
tantek
sknebel: much of the storage format design was very much up front motivated by performance considerations of common use-cases
#
tantek
e.g. rendering home page, rendering permalinks
#
tantek
ideally both of which require only *two* file reads
#
tantek
and if those files are already cached in the server/OS layer, they come straight from that memory cache, not disk, so no need for higher level cache
#
sknebel
still, XML-parsing a large storage file just to show a single post sounds expensive as well
#
tantek
sknebel: possibly. so far PHP DomDocument seems fairly well optimized, and my storage files are typically < 100k
#
tantek
my storage files are a *fraction* of the total size of bytes that most web pages *transfer* from server to client just to render
#
tantek
HTML/CSS/JS parsing megabytes on the browser is MUCH slower than XML parsing a 100k file on the *server*
#
tantek
like we're talking 100x difference at a minimum in speed costs

#
sknebel
tantek: whatever works ;) I don't even have pagination yet, so I'll worry about that stuff some time later
#
sknebel
(as in, when getting a list of all files in a folder and sorting it alphabetically gets to slow)
#
tantek
sknebel: I suggest considering implementing /archives before pagination
#
tantek
sknebel: whoa yeah, my "year" folders only have ~15 files in them at most, and I never have to get them as a "list"
#
tantek
all of them are accessed directly by algorithmically generating the names
KevinMarks2 joined the channel
#
sknebel
for me the issue was that with prescheduled posts the order id-wise not necessarily is the timeline-order, so the quick fix was folders with symlinks with timestamps as names to generate the index-pages
#
sknebel
permalinks look the file/folder up directly, index pages get the visible posts in the right order from the index folders

sknebel
not sure if "neat" or "ugly hack" ;)

If I make a big change it would right now rather be towards something more static
#
sknebel
e.g. just regenerate the index pages when a new post is added and serve them statically
#
sknebel
but it works for now, so no need to mess with it

#
tantek
sknebel: you can do the "BASIC line-numbering hack" to work around the "order id-wise" problem
#
sknebel
tantek: as in, do 10-steps and fill the gaps if necessary?
#
tantek
That is, for a prescheduled post, give it an "estimated" ID number that is at least "10" away from the next previous ID for that day (assuming day-scoped IDs) so that you can post at least 9 things before the prescheduled post.
#
tantek
right

for micropub it says "Add a <link> tag in the HTML head of your home page, or send an HTTP Link header." is the "HTML head" just the "/" route?

yeah that's the only necessary one

not gotta, but just a "if you want, and list what you're working on etc."
#
tantek
I'll see if I can update the docs to make that clearer
#
willnorris
This is actually why I didn't come to IWC SF last year. I RSVP'd at https://willnorris.com/2015/10/attending-indiewebcamp, and then found out like a day before the event that there was an eventbrite or something I was supposed to use, but that said there were no spaces left

[Will Norris] Attending IndieWebCamp SF 2015
#
tantek
wait what?!?
#
tantek
I think we thought you were a no-show
#
tantek
darn it. eventbrite convincing someone to not go. that's a horrible fail. (not on your part)
#
tantek
we definitely had the space
#
tantek
lots of eventbrite sign-ups that didn't show
#
tantek
(as is usual for "free" events)
#
willnorris
I think put myself on the wait list or something, and someone did end up contacting me saying there was room, but at that point I had moved on and made other plans
#
tantek
and this is why we are charging $5 for the non-indie-web sign-up system
#
willnorris
if we're going to support indie rsvps, then we should really support it. There shouldn't need to be s econd step
#
tantek
agreed
#
tantek
aaronpk ^^^
#
willnorris
yeah, I really like the system this year. It's really clear what needs to be done
#
willnorris
still two steps, but it's clear that the indie rsvp is saving me the $5. It's obvious that there is actually a separate registration that needs to happen. That wasn't clear in previous years
#
aaronpk
I really want to have only one place to RSVP

Id like to frame the guest list not as your registration to the event but more like letting people know more about you
#
tantek
working on exactly that
#
KevinMarks
could the h-card from the indie rsvp pre-fill the guest list?

#
aaronpk
at that point I might as well go all the way with letting people fill out their guest list info during the Tito registration and add them automatically
#
Salt
awesome, worked out schedule so I should be able to make IWS
#
tantek
except the editing/updating problem
#
tantek
tito doesn't allow that
#
tantek
this is the classic event sign-up problem
#
tantek
where once you're done with the sign-up flow, nearly all software/services bail on updating anything
#
aaronpk
updating problem?
#
tantek
you can't edit your entry
#
tantek
eventbrite etc. all have this problem
#
aaronpk
Most of the time people don't even try to update their guest list entry after they create it tho
#
tantek
because it's not possible with event systems
#
tantek
so either you face the cognitive load of a huge form with lots of fields just to sign-up
#
aaronpk
i mean on our wiki
#
tantek
= fewer sign-ups
#
KevinMarks
so, shoudl I not chekc the boxes for remote attendance?
#
KevinMarks
as I'm not consuming food
#
tantek
anyway, willnorris & aaronpk - how's the reframing at the top here: https://indiewebcamp.com/2016/Guest_List ?
#
aaronpk
also the Tito integration I'm thinking of would be just a shortcut for adding yourself to the wiki. You could always go log in and edit the wiki later
#
KevinMarks
am I consuming a spot by rmeote attending?
#
tantek
a spot in what system?
#
KevinMarks
"Venue Capacity: 50 Signed-up via Indie RSVP to 2016.indieweb.org: 12"
#
KevinMarks
I see 11 rsvps on the page
#
willnorris
yeah, lgtm
#
Salt
goes to rsvp
#
KevinMarks
in whatever system is filling up
#
Salt
darn, thought the $5 was for a t-shirt, looks like that was missed, too many things!
#
aaronpk
there will be shirts available at the summit! But they will not be $5 ;-)

#
willnorris
At one point GitHub Support mentioned that they were likely going to request that these kind of robot accounts link to a page that explains its use which also has a link back to the account. Basically, a "bi-directional rel-me". Which is why we have https://developers.google.com/open-source/github/accounts
#
willnorris
so it sounded like it was going to be an officially supported thing
#
@kevinmarks
well, @rrmutt the most comprehensive list is at https://indiewebcamp.com/events there's a newsletter: https://indiewebcamp.com/this-week and on facebook

what is XSF?
#
Loqi
The XMPP Software Foundation (XSF) is an organization with the primary mission of creating and maintaining the standards required to implement software that uses the XMPP protocols http://indiewebcamp.com/XSF
#
tantek
bear, of course he laments having to tweet on Twitter, but then blogs on Medium instead of his own website? just sayin ;)
#
bear
we (xsf folks) just got done giving him grief about that point exactly about an hour ago
#
tantek
lolololol
#
bear
his response: "But I'm waiting, because I want to do something insane that I'm lacking time on."
#
aaronpk
heh i can sympathize with that
#
tantek
just in case it's not clear to those following along at home, this kind of friendly mockery is reserved only for those who are particularly positioned in such open standards work, and especially when they write such things
#
tantek
aaronpk, re: that second article, totally disagreed. he's missing a lot
#
tantek
e.g. this is false: "Now open your eyes, realise we’ve done all of that (and more), often several times over"
#
tantek
in fact, the falsehood of that statement is exactly why IndieWebCamp exists
#
aaronpk
that's true

#
tantek
bear, please feel free to pass along the firm assertion that his statement "Now open your eyes, realise we’ve done all of that (and more), often several times over" is 100% false, trivially demonstrably. So.
#
bear
not sure I follow your point
#
tantek
here's a reasonably thorough feature summary of "Twitter the concept" https://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter#Features
#
tantek
NO ONE has "done all of that (and more), often several times over".
#
bear
he is saying that people have created programs that use open standards and succeed
#
tantek
"Let’s pretend that instead of a Twitter account being something that you get from Twitter, let’s pretend it’s more like an email account”Š—”Šyou can get it from wherever you want."
#
tantek
He is directly providing the example of *Twitter*
#
tantek
not just "programs that use open standards"
#
tantek
my point is, if he's going to cite Twitter-the-concept, then he needs to back up his claims
#
bear
I wasn't associating that sentance with the twitter paragraph but instead with the one right above about building an ecosystem
#
tantek
or rather, it's trivial to refute his claims by summarizing Twitter-the-concept even as a list of features, and throw that down as a challenge
#
tantek
bear, even that paragraph assumes Twitter in particular, per "Maybe some services even have Moments, who knows. "
#
tantek
Moments is a lame Twitter-specific feature
#
bear
k, I gave him the log link - he is UK based so may not be awake
#
tantek
the point is, "we cannot figure out how to persuade people that this really is a better deal for the individual, for the companies, for essentially everyone" because it's not, because no one has "done all that"
#
bear
which is why we need to get him on his own blog so the above can be tracked by him
#
tantek
right
#
GWG

Ah, IRC. Like the 80's never ended.
#
tantek
I mean, IRC is an open standard right?
#
dwd1
No.
#
dwd1
IRC is close, but it's handled by ad-hoc work, so it's impossible to point at one thing at say it's IRC. Servers don't interop, and so on.
#
tantek
same problem XMPP right?
#
dwd1
Loving that this webclient says it's connecting all the time, too.
#
tantek
^^^ aaronpk we saw that "connecting..." problem in Düsseldorf

aaronpk
but the protocol is relatively well documented, so anyone can come and make a client
#
aaronpk
oh shoot is that still happening?
#
tantek
yep ^^^ see dwd1 statement
#
dwd1
But anyway, I'm UK-based so headed to bed, but just to say "done all of that" really referred to the previous paragraph, and that article was really just a comment that got out of hand, anyway. I agree it's not my best writing.
