# AngeloGladding rascul what makes you hesitant to recent-first?
# AngeloGladding suppose it depends on *how* (frequently, markedly) you modify your data but i've had to work through this logic as well
# AngeloGladding i'm sticking with posting all actions to a "stream" -- "created page XYZ" at 9pm, "wrote article ABC" at 9:30p, "updated page XYZ" at 10pm, "corrected article ABC" at 10:10p
# AngeloGladding changing a wiki page is different than changing a blog post, etc..
# AngeloGladding note the usage here
# AngeloGladding an article is "corrected"
# AngeloGladding that is, <strike>ingly modified and appended to lightly
# AngeloGladding page is updated constantly and frequently using a diff
# AngeloGladding but yeah i see how you're interpreting it
# AngeloGladding and that's a good usage as well
# AngeloGladding kind of like "minor edit" on Wikimedia
# AngeloGladding i'm thinking of having /articles/corrections provide a concise summary of the type of ammendments i make to my past writings and /pages/changes providing a listing more akin to http://indieweb.org/Special:RecentChanges
# AngeloGladding the stream is very streamy and posts everything, sometimes held privately for my own logging purposes, but each resource type gets its own sort of chronological history viewer
# AngeloGladding that makes me think
# AngeloGladding there's a major and minor edit of an article as well
# AngeloGladding just as much as a wiki page
# AngeloGladding hmm that's probably led my way of thought on a binary approach
# AngeloGladding i look forward to parsing your posts
# AngeloGladding in whatever structure they come
# AngeloGladding i too am working through these problems of post type
# AngeloGladding i think everyone's doing it differently
# KartikPrabhu what is edit?
# Loqi An edit (AKA diff, change) is a special type of reply that indicates a set of suggested changes to the post it is replying to. A collection of (presumably related) suggested edits in open source is often called a patch or pull request https://indieweb.org/edit
# AngeloGladding thank you
# KevinMarks_ At one point atom had 3 dates, but published and updated are it, though you can have a source with its own dated iirc

# petermolnar on the brid.gy note: I either fire a direct bridgy call on my post publish or send a webmention later when I would like bridgy to send my article to social silo X. In the second case it's rather hard to tie it back to the post (at the moment), so I was thinking of backfilling the missing syndications by asking bridgy for all the syndicated urls for that post

# jonnybarnes it lets you say you could have meant *this* at the top of ana rticle
# funwhilelost MediaWiki has a templating system that's heavily leveraged on Wikipedia. They often use the "ParserFunctions" extension to add logic to them as well. The source for the MediaWiki about template is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:About
# jonnybarnes Like where it says this page is a stub, it’d say this page is about xyz, for abc see [[...]]
# funwhilelost It looks like this one in particular follows the
{{Hatnote}}
template and leverages a Lua module: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:About# jonnybarnes where xyz and abc would be very short descriptions
# jonnybarnes it can do
# funwhilelost Agreed. It's really difficult to keep templates consistent unless there is a Wikipedia-sized moderator team to help guide new editors.
# jonnybarnes so just edit the atom page directly?
# funwhilelost So I've been diving in on new tech that could help push indie forward. Have you guys seen this? https://dokie.li/#publish

# KartikPrabhu why not use the stateless protocol called the Web instead of "building" new ones?
# snarfed aaronpk: heh. on the contrary, looks like you can even reserve eg wordpress.blog or automattic.blog : https://get.blog/confirm-domain
# [kevinmarks] Are they going to give out ev.blog and redirect to medium?
# [kevinmarks] I thought Google was bidding for the tld
# [kevinmarks] Common pattern with these. Is the renewal the same or is that uniform?
# gRegorLove snarfed: That WP slug was misleading; I thought they were actually going to start giving out free domain names for wordpress.com blogs, hah
# gRegorLove .blog seems weird because it's a dated term by this point. Some TLDs I can see some sense to, but not .blog
# gRegorLove Haha
# gRegorLove aaronpk and I are on the same wavelength today I guess
# gRegorLove A mental thing I've had to work through is I've thought "my site is a blog" for so long, but with all this indieweb stuff I'm adding (events, notes, etc.) it's more than just a blog. It's just my site.
# gRegorLove indie satellites!
# gRegorLove miklb: Well, I guess the origin "web log" can be broader, but obviously its most common implementation was "article" type content.
# gRegorLove So yeah "blog" to me kind of invokes "personal, medium-to-long posts"
# gRegorLove Zegnat: Haha, that took me a moment (re: balloons)
# voxpelli speaking of ones blog btw, I really like how https://sixcolors.com/ is mixing in additional content with it's unique blog content
# cmal aaronpk earlier linked to this : https://github.com/mwarning/KadNode
# gRegorLove That looks nice, voxpelli
# gRegorLove Yeah, I'm wanting to do some more mixing of stuff, too. I like my single-page view for articles, but would like to include recent notes (non-replies) on the homepage, too.
# gRegorLove Maybe one note with a left/right arrow to slide in the next/previous note.
# gRegorLove Zegnat: I don't think it was purposeful, though maybe tricky
# gRegorLove Number of notes since the last article, you mean?
# gRegorLove Haha
# gRegorLove I don't have a stream view for articles, so this would just be above or below the article. Not sure which.
# gRegorLove I do like the idea of "X more notes..." to indicate activity, though.
# gRegorLove Could also encourage writing more articles. "100 notes since my last article?!"
