# petermolnar I've spent a few hours staring at different implementation of the "lightweight" markup buzzword, so slightly dizzy
# petermolnar those that are readable, lack features I consider crucial
# petermolnar those that have features had forgotten about readability

# petermolnar GWG that is not a good sign
# petermolnar one of my goals for 2015/2016 (as in indieweb year from a Brighton to the next Brighton ) was to make more content
# petermolnar since that is the original reason for having a site

# ben_thatmustbeme GWG, did you ever try out the new mobilepub version?
# ben_thatmustbeme it doesn't do images and such, haven't gotten that worked out yet and I've been super busy with the move and all, so I haven't been doing much dev of late
# petermolnar I wanted longer entries; microblogging is still too much buzz for my taste; maybe you should try that as well. In that case, the UI is secondary.
# ben_thatmustbeme mostly i just host either write to a log on the server or use inspector
# voxpelli GWG: see http://voxpelli.com/social/

# rMdes_ my like definition depends on what silo i'm facing the item I want to like. If on facebook it's probably because I actually like something my real friends did, if on Twitter it means I'm going to check this link/tweet later by coming back to my "like list", if on my own Known site, it's mostly to say I really like this post or this tweet and I take the time to "save" it on my own site.
# voxpelli like is https://indieweb.org/like

# CherryPuffs Good morning/afternoon
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: I spent some time cleaning up/expanding the WordPress documentation in the wiki, but could you take a look at "Syndicate your content to other sites" on https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress. One section there says one can't simultaneously use two plugins, but I suspect it should have been edited out several changes ago.
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: On your like/favorite discussion ^^^ I sometimes feel odd liking things on Twitter because I usually use it as a programmatic way to save liked articles to my Pocket account via IFTTT. I don't suspect that any/many are following my "like" feed there, so I really don't care too much. I've always wondered if I should have a dictionary on my site explaining such minutiae...
# [chrisaldrich] I suspected as much, I'll tweak it later as I continue updating through the group of pages.
# [chrisaldrich] voxpelli, thus the reason I haven't done it so far :stuck_out_tongue:

# [chrisaldrich] I suppose it would give additional added emphasis if I was "liking" things directly on my site. GWG perhaps theres a use case for an "Intersting" post-kind in lieu of like, favorite, love, etc.? The trouble is coming up with a usable icon with a similar semantic meaning...
# [chrisaldrich] It's tough to boil the human condition down to three icon-able actions for the web...
# [chrisaldrich] In practice, I'm generally using acegiak's system too.

# Loqi To read or reading is the act of viewing and interpreting posts or other documents; on the IndieWeb, a read post expresses that something has been read, like a book or section thereof https://indieweb.org/reading
# [chrisaldrich] tags is a far simpler folksonomy, besides I'd be less likely to track my moods or direct emotions in posts, and if I did , they be private
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: You definitely shouldn't be adding too many more to the current list for post-kinds, it's pretty solid
# GWG [chrisaldrich]: Not there yet... https://docs.p3k.io/Example-Posts
[rickc] joined the channel
# [rickc] What is post-kinds
# Loqi Post or posts may refer to individual pieces of content published on an indieweb site such as notes, articles, & responses, or the act of creating the aforementioned content (present tense), or Posts about the IndieWeb https://indieweb.org/post_kinds
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: looking at what travel sites like tripit have done for ui may serve as a guide too
# [chrisaldrich] For the quantified self movement or even future health records, I could see hundreds of additional types (blood pressure, pulse, respirations, blood sugar levels, etc, etc.) but don't get me started
# [chrisaldrich] Leave it to the biomedical engineer to cause problems... I also have access to some serious data from Johns Hopkins and their insurance billing group that might make your head spin.
# [chrisaldrich] summation: like, favorite, bookmark -- I'm good!
# [chrisaldrich] :slightly_smiling_face:
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: No, where's that hiding?
# [chrisaldrich] sidetracking is sometimes a problem....

# [chrisaldrich] GWG: I have a long list, but what, in your mind, in the WordPress/IndieWeb world needs the most attention for documentation?
# [chrisaldrich] rMdes_ have you seen https://indieweb.org/Posting_from_mobile_devices
# [chrisaldrich] obviously...
snarfed joined the channel
# [chrisaldrich] I've been meaning to try to better adapt a path from https://indieweb.org/wordpress#Bookmarklets_for_Desktop to work on mobile
# [chrisaldrich] I also want to create a custom page (loop) on WP to better display bookmarks (perhaps linkblog style); then I'll have to steal your reader idea rMdes_
# GWG [chrisaldrich]: You want a custom template for /kind/bookmark?
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: do you have one already?
# [chrisaldrich] GWG: here's a good example from a platform Dave Winer built: http://radio3.io/users/davewiner/
# [chrisaldrich] rMdes_ I had looked at that, but didn't seen anything I liked enough. I'll probably go the archive page route GWG suggested
# [chrisaldrich] something roughly like that... I don't even think I need the pretty day-by-day break out that Winer was using, though that would be a somewhat useful frill.
# rMdes_ chris : this layout https://www.euwatch.eu/cat/opinion/ (don't pay attention to the content)
# [chrisaldrich] GWG++ for Easter eggs in changelogs; Thanks for the tip, I hadn't had time to read through it all yet.

# [chrisaldrich] rMdes_ that's not a bad example either, better than what I call the anti-grid pattern that G+ or rebelmouse use which is tougher for me to read/digest
# [chrisaldrich] alright kids, thanks for the new itches (read: severe case of Poison Ivy), but the day job is calling...

# [chrisaldrich] rMdes_ you could take a look at Jonathan Abrams new newsletter functionality in Nuzzel which is somewhat similar and possibly bendable, though I don't know if they have an API yet
# [chrisaldrich] back in a few hours... thanks guys!

# tantek reading /this-week, looks like quite the light week in IndieWeb. Makes sense, we pushed pretty hard for all the IndieWebSummit stuff and the (week of) July 4th launch(es)

# [chrisaldrich] The chat also seems to have been quieter than usual the past week too. Perhaps a function of the new channels, or just the dog days of summer?
# [chrisaldrich] Are any of the channels outputting wiki edits anymore? I miss them in the stream.
