Whoa Marty's 360 photo viewer responds to the phone's gyroscope when viewed on a phone!

it's thanks to google's VR View https://github.com/google/vrview
#
[schmarty]
all that is built in, and it even has the little button for using the "cardboard" viewer in the bottom-right.

GWG
I'm trying to figure out what to change this string to: "The IndieWeb plugin requires the following plugins"
#
KartikPrabhu
why does that need to be changed?
#
rascul
depends on the following
#
rascul
don't why my how
#
GWG
It's an awkward sentence.
#
rascul
GWG is it a public page that you could link to or something? more context might help to figure out a better wording for it
#
GWG
It's part of the Indieweb plugin.
#
rascul
how do other plugins word it?
#
GWG
That is the default text
#
KartikPrabhu
I suggest keeping the default since people might be used to it
#
rascul
it does sound funny though, probably because of how plugin is used twice
#
rascul
if it was called, for example, butterscotch instead of IndieWeb plugin, "butterscotch requires the following plugins"
#
rascul
certainly sounds a bit nicer
#
GWG
I'm going to experiment with hiding the notice.
#
rascul
not really sure why i thought of butterscotch right now though
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: hiding the notice is not good as users might not realise that the other plugins are required
#
rascul
is this something that users need to care much about it sounding good?
leg joined the channel
#
rascul
if it's just about dep installs, then i probably wouldn't worry much about it at all
#
rascul
*dependency
#
GWG
WordPress has no dependency installers
#
KartikPrabhu
yes, that is my point. users might already be accustiomed to the wording and maybe even look for it
#
rascul
i mean, i wouldn't worry much about the wording
#
rascul
as long as it's clear that these things must be installed for proper functionality
#
GWG
It is a nag notice that appears on every page till dismissed.
#
rascul
imo it mostly seems to sound funny just because of the repeated use of "plugin"
#
GWG
I'm thinking of "The following plugins are required to send and receive webmentions."
#
rascul
that sounds nicer
#
rascul
is sending and receiving webmentions the extent of the plugin though?
#
rascul
if not, potentially one might think they could skip installing the deps to have the rest of the functionalityh
#
rascul
*functionality
#
GWG
The extent of the required plugins right now. The rest are only recommended.
#
rascul
seems to me like that could work then

GWG
KevinMarks: You started this review. You want to weigh in?
wolftune and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
The recommended coming above "you need to activate them now" is confusing
#
GWG
[kevinmarks]: I set auto activation. It's an option.
#
[kevinmarks]
That's good, removing steps is good
#
GWG
The strings now read: "The following plugins are required to send and receive webmentions", "For additional functionality, consider the recommended plugins," and "The following recommended plugin is currently inactive."
#
[kevinmarks]
Do the plugin descriptions describe the additional stuff
#
GWG
Yes. I changed them
#
GWG
From names to functions
#
[kevinmarks]
"For additional functionality, consider the recommended plugins," is a bit latinate
#
GWG
Well, I'm not pushing anything. Still playing. Any ideas?
#
[kevinmarks]
"to do more, add these bits" (one syllable)
#
GWG
I'm just changing indiewebcamp to indieweb.org

maybe using the #comment included in each link?

davidmead, ownyourgram is a better option yes, but that requires supporting Micropub first which I want to do but is a bigger task than I can tackle right now.
#

davidmead, and re: video, that will definitely take some more work, but yes I expect to be able to update the bookmarklet to grab video URL, poster frame jpg URL, as well as permalink and caption.

Anybody getting the bridgy UI to work this morning?
#
tantek
Whenever I manually try to Bridgy Publish to FB, it sends me a FB login prompt even though I'm already logged in
#
tantek
this was happening to me before too
#
tantek
this last time I ignored the prompt and somehow the page auto-redirected after some timeout? that is super weird
#
tantek
and then I got the error from Bridgy that it already published the page (when I hadn't seen it work yet)
#
tantek
and then I checked and somehow the post was there, despite never seeing any kind of success feedback on the several previous attempts

new(?) "realtime" feature of FB, it shows "A friend is typing a comment..." below a post of yours (i.e. like in various Chat/messaging UIs)
#
tantek
what is real-time?
#
Loqi
Realtime is a well-defined software field where computing has to complete or fail cleanly by a deadline, because latency is paramount https://indieweb.org/real-time
#
tantek
wow that's a nearly user-useless definition

that realtime definition was me being pedantic; what you're talking about is more like a 'live' UI
