Hello, AhmetMert
#
AhmetMert
hello GWG, I wanted to edit wikipage (https://indieweb.org/2016/NYC2/Projects_List) and add my name into Remote Participant list. In order to do that I should add rel="me" command to my personal website. I understand this part. However I did not understand how to add a link back to my my homepage using social media accounts""
#
GWG
Do you have any accounts on any services?
#
AhmetMert
I do have a github and google+ account if you are asking this
#
bear
AhmetMert - have you see the Getting_Started page?
#
bear
what is getting started
#
Loqi
Get started on the indieweb by connecting with the indiewebcamp community, getting a personal domain, a place for your content, and setting up your home page & other indieweb essentials https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started
#
AhmetMert
yes I have seen it. I almost read them all
#

#
Loqi

@ChrisAldrich
#indieweb @angelogladding: Apparently @t has a broken certificate for https, so my parser gracefully falls back to http instead.

#
tantek
perhaps we need UI screenshots showing how to add a link back to your homepage using social media accounts (e.g. per silo)
#
tantek
hey AngeloGladding there shouldn't be any public https URLs to my site so where did you encounter that?
#
tantek
it's not a broken cert, it's a self-signed cert
#
bear
the example links on that page are url's to the profile edit pages - but nothing showing where to put the rel=me links
#
tantek
on your own site? or in the profile editor on a silo?
#
bear
silo
#
tantek
well it's different per silo, each has its own UI for setting your "website" link
#
tantek
(better to call it that - your website link - instead of "rel=me link" because nowhere on any silo do you ever put rel=me anywhere)

Is there a general consensus on using microformats classes for CSS styling? I've learned from poor experiences with the WordPress universe that one is far better off leaving mf as semantic classes and creating alternate classes for styling.
#
aaronpk
i've been happy not using microformats classes for styling. a while ago I was, and it caused problems
#
tantek
yes I think it's even documented somewhere maybe on /WordPress or a subpage
#
GWG
It is recommended not to do it.
#
GWG
And while the Core team has agreed it is probably not a good idea, it has gone on too long.
#
GWG
They did agree at my request to remove styling classic microformats in the TwentySixteen theme
#
GWG
But they didn't agree to make it a recommended practice for new themes that the repository review team checks for
#
aaronpk
oh hey that sounds like progress!
#
ChrisAldrich
GWG: I knew what you were going to say, I was curious if others have run into problems. Primarily I ask because I noticed KevinMarks_ does it on his site and ran into some conflicts with using noterlive output last night.
#
ChrisAldrich
I was hoping that GWG's hardline stance was a community wide one, or at least something we're all behind if it hasn't come up elsewhere.

really should be in the FAQ

I thought since WordPress was the most obvious example of the problems caused by this practice that it would be documented there

#

thank you!
#
tantek
There may also be discussion / answers in IRC logs
#
tantek
I recall observing that styling microformats classes directly is OK if you're just developing a one-off site that you have no plans of updating
#
tantek
but that anything else, where you may be updating the markup, presentation etc., you should have separate classes
#
ChrisAldrich
Or potentially for web-tools that output material (like noterlive) which is then placed on various different platforms...
#
ChrisAldrich
I ran into an issue when borrowing css and js from KevinMarks.com. I'll try to put together some additional details and resources for noterlive in a PR shortly.

Right, and mine is a one off site

just realized that XOXO recently switched their website from 2016.xoxofest.com to xoxofest.com/2016
#
tantek
another good example to capture

re: subdomains
#
ben_thatmustbeme
hmm, just got a free aws IoT button... now to figure out what I do indieweb-wise with it
#
aaronpk
also https://xoxofest.com/2016 is a good example of a clean event page with showing a full multi-day schedule
sgreger joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk it's also js;dr "Please enable JavaScript to view this site."
#
tantek
wow like completely. view source
#
aaronpk
that's just not necessary
#
snarfed
ben_thatmustbeme: we have a couple at work, and we're doing a hack week this week, and a couple teams are using them
#
tantek
so this is what the web is turning into?

#
rascul
javascript all the things
#
tantek
aaronpk: the entire thing is dynamically built clientside using React
#
aaronpk
it's such a simple site, there is really no reason for using React
#
singpolyma
tantek: I think we're past "turning into". "has become"
#
tantek
singpolyma: no. plenty of the web works just fine for me with NOSCRIPT
#
tantek
and much faster too
#
singpolyma
Some of it
#
singpolyma
I'm always happy when I don't have to enable JS for a site
#
tantek
so why, for the last XOXO, did they bother with breaking it by rewriting it in React?
#
sgreger
kevinmarks: thanks for your comment. i thought of it as good ux for my twitter readers that they do not have to click through my site to see what i bookmarked. but indeed, this is probably more a design than a technical challenge
#
aaronpk
ah they consolidated everything into a single website
#
aaronpk
the 2014 and 2015 pages are built in the same framework now and totally different from the original 2014/2015 pages
#
tantek
point stands, why rewrite everything
#
sgreger
chrisaldrich: thank you. from the wiki it seems that the topic of "bookmarks" is mostly seen as another form of note. maybe i'm trying to come up with the wheel all over again ;)
#
tantek
sgreger, nah, notes are primarily first person content
#
aaronpk
and then decided to import the previous years into it too
#
aaronpk
well this is the first time the 2016 schedule has been on the site, so it looks like they built the 2016 page in react from the start
#
tantek
whereas a /bookmark is a response to something else
#
sgreger
tantek: that's why i thought it would be smart to present the bookmark to my twitter readers and indicate that there is also commentary/response on my site; like this: https://twitter.com/sebastiangreger/status/768770201135505408
#
tantek
note also that as people build more js;dr sites in React (a Facebook project), more sites become unlikely to be Google-indexable. Almost seems like a deliberate attempt to increaingly undermine Google Search (vs. "just use Facebook")
#
tantek
sgreger that's a fine way to POSSE a bookmark to Twitter
#
tantek
though your post http://sebastiangreger.net/bookmark/5013/ is much more than a bookmark. It's an outright *reply*
#
sgreger
yes, design-wise i like it. but it's not easy in a technical sense, as i cannot figure out why it presents the second url in the tweet as a twitter card, not (as both the twitter docs and the indieweb wiki indicate) always the first
#
tantek
sgreger: "Replies rarely have names/titles, though they sometimes have other structure like multiple paragraphs, or blockquotes from the source that are being specifically responded too. "
#
sgreger
tantek: now that you say it, that is actually true. hmm, i might have to return to the drawing board on that one.
#
tantek
that exactly describes your post
#
sgreger
indeed
#
tantek
you have multiple paragraphs, which you wrote
#
tantek
you have blockquotes, that you specifically responded to
#
sgreger
so a bookmark would purely be the link, and then no backlink to my site needed in twitter syndication
#
aaronpk
hm who else POSSEs bookmarks to twitter?
#
sgreger
and in this case, i should only feature the link to my site
#
aaronpk
now i'm tempted to make a separate twitter account to do the same
#
tantek
aaronpk, adactio already does
#
plindner
That “Solving all the wrong problems” reminding me of https://ind.ie/ethical-design/ Curious what people here think about Ethical Design?
#
tantek
plinder, ethics are about principles, IndieWeb has /principles, one of which design before protocols so that seems fairly explicit
#
tantek
sgreger, and if you want even more reading on distinguishing things like bookmarks, replies, quotations, etc. see: https://indieweb.org/quotation and especially the details in https://indieweb.org/quotation#Instead_use
#
snarfed
good example dedicated twitter account for bookmarks: https://twitter.com/somebitsLinks
#
snarfed
(his main account is https://twitter.com/nelson )
#
ChrisAldrich
Typically I use bookmarks as objects which I haven't yet read, but find interesting and want to /read_later
#
sgreger
aaronpk: syndicating bookmarks to twitter feels like such a natural thing to do. but now that i started doing it, it turns out i'm actually already full on in the indiweb-reply business :D
#
ChrisAldrich
Given that, perhaps I should be using a visual indicator (emoji) on Twitter POSSE copies to indicate that?
#
sgreger
chrisaldrich: that's my workflow as well. and since today i have a way to publish and syndicate them once i have read them, along with a few comments...
#
tantek
ChrisAldrich: indeed - feel free to add that to https://indieweb.org/bookmark#Why
#
tantek
ChrisAldrich: or a separate twitter account entirely
#
tantek
as has been noted
#
ChrisAldrich
I always have a feeling that the majority of what people post to twitter is links to material they havne't read, but feel might be useful to their audience...
#
tantek
hmm no POSSE section there
#
sgreger
i won't have time tonight, but will contribute the outcome of my thinking to the wiki at some point as well
#
sgreger
(if there is an outcome)
#
ChrisAldrich
I've been rethinking the entire reading & bookmarking workflow I use on my site. Thoughts earlier this week if you're interested sgreger: http://boffosocko.com/2016/08/22/a-new-reading-post-type-for-bookmarking-and-reading-workflow/
#
sgreger
but back to my original headache: has anybody else experienced that twitter shows the twitter card for the latter of two links posted (which is clearly unexpected behaviour)

#
ChrisAldrich
In the past week, I've seen at least three twitter posts with multiple links, and if I recall, it was always the last one that was turned into a twitter card.
#
tantek
sgreger I've always seen Twitter show a /link-preview for the *last* link in a Tweet. never the first. FB shows a /link-preview for the first link in a tweet.
#
tantek
so you can use that to cause different link previews in each
#
tantek
plindner re: "Solving All the Wrong Problems", the flipside of designers focused solving some (their own) problems, is even worse, designers attempting to solve problems for everyone - almost always results in failure
#
tantek
as in, they design things that are useless to everyone
#
tantek
not just themselves
#
sgreger
tantek: ok! there it is. on http://indieweb.org/twitter#Features it says "(only one, the first)", as it does on https://dev.twitter.com/cards/getting-started under "Multiple URLs in a Tweet"
#
tantek
plindner more on that here https://indieweb.org/selfdogfood (sgreger you may be interested in that too as a complement to that NYT article)
#
tantek
sgreger I'll fix that on the wiki
#
sgreger
here is a tweet from earlier today that shows the card for the first link (i tried to find some benchmarks). could of course be because instragram does not have twittercard metadata, only open graph?
#
tantek
sgreger right
#
tantek
no reason for IG to bother with twittercard metacrap when Twitter could be using better heuristics
#
sgreger
so we might derive: if two links with twitter card meta, then the latter, if one has twitter card meta and the other not, then that one.
#
tantek
sgreger note that NYT article starts with "innovative companies" examples of narrow-design, not designers
#
tantek
which is a completely different thing/problem (VC funding, hype etc.)
#
tantek
so it's a logical error to jump from the example of "innovative companies" to then blaming "design, and by extension innovation, as an intrinsically human discipline — albeit one that seems to have lost its way."
#
tantek
"innovative companies" distractions != "design discipline"
#
sgreger
tantek: very good points, thanks
#
tantek
that article itself is a hack by its own definition :P
#
ChrisAldrich
I kind of like the functionality of using emoji in POSSE posts to indicate post-type. (bookmark example: https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/768874827218169856)
#
tantek
ChrisAldrich: yeah, /jam posts do that too typically
#
tantek
and /read posts
#
sgreger
chrisaldrich: great write-up! glad to see other thoughts on that bookmark-publishing workflow
#
ChrisAldrich
of course, now the problem of supporting all that onmy site...
#
tantek
ChrisAldrich have you captured those itches?
#
tantek
"supporting all that on my site..."
#
snarfed
tantek ChrisAldrich emoji tag was also proposed/tried for plain text person tagging. eg https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/547

[indieweb] "Off boat 7 days, have not checked 99+ FB notifications. 11d away broke a habit. #indieweb Question is, is there a way to deliberately check FB notifications and avoid re-acquiring a dopamine-twitch-check habit?
