I should learn to post twitter links using loqi so I can un-hide all the pertinent info

aaronpk
i'm starting to think I need a few different names
#
aaronpk
if you search google news for "aaron parecki" it's full of articles about Uber and ride sharing, because I took a bunch of photos of cabs in portland and posted them on flickr with a CC license and people use them in articles all the time

aaronpk: i don't know exactly what quill sent to the endpoint, but looks like it was a query, and this endpoint responds to both config and syndicate-to queries with {"syndicate-to":[]}
#
snarfed
i'll file an issue with that

Thanks!!

Can't wait to have a micropub.rocks server to test quill against
#
GWG
Evening.
#
snarfed
evening GWG
#
GWG
Hi, snarfed. I've been watching your work.
#
snarfed
on wp-micropub?
#
GWG
Yes.
#
GWG
I need to give the changes a try.
#
snarfed
please do!
#
GWG
snarfed: I liked a lot of the changes I read the code for.
#
GWG
There are still some ideas I had though.
#
GWG
As I told you a while back, I need to figure out how to make everything I need work with everything else I need.
#
snarfed
thanks!
#
snarfed
go for it
#
GWG
So, I need to figure out how to make it so I can post something with Micropub and have it syndicated to Facebook, Twitter, etc.
#
GWG
That is the missing link right now.
#
snarfed
right, you've mentioned
#
GWG
I just keep stalling on the idea. The only way I can think of to make it work is to use a global variable to have plugins register syndication targets for Micropub, the same way Core registers post types and other things.
#
snarfed
GWG: i thought we agreed on using the 'micropub_syndicate-to' filter? that's what the plugin has done for a long time now
#
GWG
I'm concerned about multiple plugins registering the same names.
#
GWG
But there can be some ways around that.
#
snarfed
and honestly i doubt it will happen much in practice
#
GWG
Probably the best way is to add a function.
#
snarfed
can you think of any example of two different silos with the same name? i can't. :P
#
GWG
snarfed: I'm thinking of two different plugins both trying to register Twitter
#
snarfed
right, so uids should include username
#
snarfed
e.g. twitter.com/schnarfed
#
snarfed
the micropub spec examples match that: file:///Users/ryan/src/Micropub/draft/index.html#h-syndication-targets
#
snarfed
er sorry
#
GWG
But what if I want... Twitter via Bridgy Publish and Twitter via SNAP for the same username?
#
Loqi
[Aaron Parecki] Micropub
#
snarfed
GWG: yeah, i'm totally fine with just not supporting that
#
snarfed
or else uid also includes plugin name
#
GWG
snarfed: My preference is to just have a function that takes the arguments and generates the UID with the other information.
#
GWG
So, no plugin sends in the UID, instead sending in the service/user properties.
#
snarfed
eh maybe. i'm still not convinced.
#
snarfed
how about you get it working with even just one posse plugin, see how that goes, then we tackle this if we still think it's necessary?
#
GWG
I started to look at Bridgy Publish for WordPress, which is just a wrapper around the Bridgy Publish service, but I was stopped by the fact people expect it to just work and it needs proper theme markup.
#
GWG
Not a problem for me, but it seems like there is something I should do in that plugin to help.
#
snarfed
maybe start by just getting it working for you first
#
snarfed
then maybe extend to other people
#
GWG
I decided to fix another project that is broken first. My location support plugin.
#
GWG
I want to see if I can get it working again for IWC LA.
#
GWG
I did some major UI changes, but didn't quite finish them.
#
GWG
I also am speaking to pfefferle about finalizing Webmention 3.0.
#
GWG
snarfed: Have you considered coming down to LA? You are on my list of people whose hand I would like to shake.
#
snarfed
GWG: aww likewise! not this time, but maybe someday
#
GWG
snarfed: Either way, I tend to jump around a lot on projects. When I get stalled, I tend to put something aside for a while.
#
GWG
And I admit I have trouble focusing on one aspect of a problem because professionally, I'm never given enough time to do one thing. I'm always having to do twenty things simultaneously.
#
GWG
So you'll see me either drilling down to the smallest detail trying to plan everything out for when I get to it, or working on something.
#
snarfed
understood
#
GWG
snarfed: I promise you one thing.
#
GWG
I've been trying to fix some problems at work for 13 years. I know I can accomplish more of my Indieweb goals before 2020.

Moin moin, 25 tickets for IWC Berlin are gone already but less people put their names in the wiki - they will receive a mail next week, however make sure to enter your name - "Hello - my URL is" https://indieweb.org/2016/Berlin

#
sknebel
sebilasse: I think it's normal that quite a few people aren't in the wiki, and to be expected
#
sknebel
even if the changes required to get indieauth to work are tiny, its still "busywork" in some sense
#
sknebel
(I've had somebody ask me "why should I do that just because your wiki doesn't work like any other website" and they have a point, if they don't use anything else indieweb yet ;))
#
sebilasse
Check the logs from yesterday - we COULD use an ordinary e.g. "login with twitter" button as an alternative. And that Auth flow could teach and tell the user how not only to be "me on twitter" but me - I'll tell you:
#
sebilasse
^ sknebel > aaronpk prerequisites? (tb specified):
#
sebilasse
It should always deliver the "client_id" also to the "me"-URL as a parameter so that "me" could e.g. log the auth attempts.
#
sebilasse
If it uses the following flow, it should deliver a "provider_profile"-URL to allow UIs to add the backlink by a simple click.
#
sebilasse
1. User clicks "twitter button"
#
sebilasse
2. After auth, Wiki checks if there is a rel="me" link - if not it urges user to create one [as necessary "step 1"]
#
sebilasse
3. Wiki checks if that rel="me" has a link back - if not it urges user to create one [as necessary "step 2"],
#
sebilasse
[redaktor could simply have a confirmation UI to add this link to your profile, see prerequisites]
#
sebilasse
4. We can now proceed with IndieAuth or selfhosted or whatever...
#
sebilasse
I am working on it but it is work to make it most modular - basically IndieAuth is the wrapper containing
#
sebilasse
the supported 4 OAuth1 and 3 OAuth2 flows.
#
sebilasse
You could "start" it with either a SILO or your domain and it's optional allowing as well anonymous login via https://commentpara.de (hoster cweiske.de attends BER) or an alternative etc. ...

hm, not sure if I get the difference, but we can talk about that at the camp. IMHO having people log on to the wiki is nice, but not that important. the wiki is quite public as well...

PSA: if you see HTTPS errors on random (including high-profile) sites today, it might be because GlobalSign has OCSP issues which can cause their certs to show as revoked: https://twitter.com/globalsign/status/786505261842247680
#
@globalsign
We are currently experiencing issues with our OCSP which is causing certificate warning messages. We aim to fix this as soon as possible.

Not sure where that should be documented. /notifications? /following ? /homepage ? /composite_stream ?

[tantek]
Or maybe on /like posts as a beware sort of thing? I do think it's a valid design question - do people expect everything they "like" to then have a permalink which is pushed to all their followers / subscribers?

I designed my site to have a permalink for each like, but intentionally do not show those on my home page

(same with replies and most reposts, for me)

actually reposts do go to my home page, i just don't post those very often

KevinMarks1
it made a favorites feed per user, but it had an ugly obscure URL

KevinMarks1
then they added discovery of these feeds for people you knew, and users got upset'

#
sknebel
similar for likes/bookmarks and other interactions IMHO
#
sknebel
e.g. what I bookmark and when is a quite detailed view into what I'm doing and interested in right now -> a full stream of my bookmarks is not something I want to be public
anarchivist and snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk
sknebel: interesting. all my bookmarks are public, (not on my home page tho), so i'm guessing we bookmark things for different reasons
#
sknebel
thinking about it, the timing data is a big issue -> a queryable database of all my bookmarks without data when it was created feels less "dangerous" to me than a stream
#
sknebel
because "I once looked into X" is a lot less specific than the order and thought processes that might show up in a stream
#
sknebel
so public bookmark posts for me are probably going to be selected reccommendations "this is interesting and you might want to look at it" and "here is a collection of all things I found interesting for X, after the fact"
#
sknebel
and another data point re likes: reddit hides them by default, but you expose the pages showing everything you upvoted/downvoted
#
sknebel
(which probably is even more granular and common than liking)
