I think when you introduce color and give the the back of the cube some depth it will really stand out.

strugee
hey, all
#
strugee
just wanted to stop by and see if https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues/77 actually makes sense
#
strugee
my understanding of Webmention and related things is a little hazy, but there _are_ multiple kinds of webmention, right?
#
strugee
I've looked for a list of different kinds but haven't found any, although there are individual pages on the wiki, like e.g. "like"
#
aaronpk
waves to strugee
#
snarfed
(aaronpk wm.rocks doesn't yet send wms with different mf2 post types, right?)
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
strugee
aaronpk: _thank_ you
#
strugee
I remembered that site from your demos but didn't remember the URL :P
#
voxpelli
PR:s to testpinger are very welcome!
#
strugee
snarfed: I saw that too, thanks
#
voxpelli
if only to add ones own mf2 markup or to make a sentient beast of a test tool, I'll accept both (I think)
#
strugee
the problem with both node-webmention-testpinger and webmention.rocks is that they essentially send bogus data to production sites
chrisaldrich1 joined the channel
#
strugee
which isn't the end of the world but would be neat to avoid :P
#
aaronpk
production sites?
#
strugee
by "production" I mean "not localhost:8080"
#
aaronpk
webmention.rocks only sends stuff to URLs you prove you own
#
strugee
right what I meant was
#
snarfed
strugee: yup. unclear what to do about that though.
#
strugee
if possible I'd rather not have a bunch of test webmentions show up in a random post on my blog for everyone on the internet
#
snarfed
options: use ngrok.io, delete the wms after they arrive, configure your server to temporarily not show new wms while you run them
#
strugee
again, not the end of the world :)
#

#
Loqi
ngrok has 1 karma in this channel (2 overall)
#
voxpelli
strugee: have you looked at testpinger? It's built so that it isn't accessible outside your local machine
#
aaronpk
yeah testpinger is good for testing against localhost specifically
#
voxpelli
It even exposes the data so one can run them in automated tests in addition to as a cli tool (my webmention endpoint does so)
#
strugee
yeah the problem with testpinger for me is that I use webmention.io
#
strugee
so localhost stuff doesn't really work :P
#
voxpelli
strugee: then aaronpk should do what I do and provide a way to show example data in an embed ;)
#
strugee
is afk for 5-10 minutes
#
aaronpk
example data in an embed?
#
snarfed
strugee: i used ngrok.io with http://micropub.rocks/ to test a server on localhost pretty extensively, worked great
#
voxpelli
My endpoint has built in example data available through a query param: https://webmention.herokuapp.com/documentation.html
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
voxpelli
Was required as I don't provide any CSS for my embed and people apparently wants their embeds to look good from start :P
#
voxpelli
Ngrok is awesome :) Used it a lot as well
KartikPrabhu, wolftune, KevinMarks and snarfed joined the channel
#
strugee
voxpelli: yeah, that's basically what I'm looking for, but for webmention.io ;)
#
strugee
maybe I should switch to webmention.herokuapp.com
#
strugee
but then I gotta migrate existing mentions somehow and... eh
#
aaronpk
hm now i'm confused about the problem
#
strugee
aaronpk: basically the problem is that I have a static site, so mentions are pulled with client-side JS from webmention.io
#
strugee
but I can't test with different kinds of webmentions since my site hasn't received a bunch yet
#
aaronpk
ah you're trying to test *styling* of the mentions?
#
strugee
so aaronpk/webmentions.io#77 is about adding a way to tell webmention.io to return a bunch of dummy data
#
strugee
aaronpk: yeah basically
#
strugee
and how the different fields of the response are handled, etc.
#
aaronpk
ok now i see how that relates to webmention.io better
#
strugee
yep :)
snarfed and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
strugee
aaronpk: is https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues/77#issuecomment-257652504 still accurate given the above discussion?
#
aaronpk
hm, no i'll update

a pretty decent implementation of GNUSocial, check it out https://mastodon.social
#
bnvk
what is IW position / thoughts on GNUSocial, BTW?
#
aaronpk
there's a gnusocial webmention plugin!
#
aaronpk
they've been making progress on adding h-entry and such
#
aaronpk
what is gnusocial
#
Loqi
GNU social is a free software project that "will be a decentralized social network that you can install on your own server" https://indieweb.org/gnusocial
#
strugee
in the pump.io project we've also talked about making GNU Social use the newer SocialWG protocols
#
bnvk
aaronpk: ah, nice. So it interops with IW to some degree.
#
strugee
dunno if it'll ever happen but
#
bnvk
strugee: IIUC, does pump.io federate with GNU Social?
#
strugee
not ATM anyway

snarfed: With Granary and Facebook, do I need to make a FB app too, or what do I put in for actividy_id?
#
gRegorLove
Wait, think it's a page that this account manages. Maybe Granary doesn't do that.
#
snarfed
gRegorLove: i assume you're using the REST API? ie not using granary as a library?
#
snarfed
granary can definitely do FB pages
#
gRegorLove
snarfed: I've just logged in to FB through granary and clicked "Get", no results.
#
gRegorLove
access token is filled in, but activity_id isn't. Not sure what the latter should be.
#
snarfed
you logged into granary as the page?
#
snarfed
activity_id is optional, for fetching a single post
#
gRegorLove
No, as the account managing the page, it appears
#
snarfed
for pagtes, the granary demo app might not ask for all the permissions it needs
#
snarfed
try plugging that token into https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and requesting /me/feed
#
gRegorLove
Blank. I see an option to "Get Page Access Tokens" there though, so I think that works.
#
snarfed
also the web UI doesn't really handle FB pages, you'd need to either get a page token yourself through FB's dev UI or write a bit of code to get one
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, that should work. I'm just exploring this as an option to Zapier
#
gRegorLove
Sweet, works when I replace with the page access token. Thanks snarfed!
#
snarfed
yay np!

I think webmention in itself needs a lot more publicity - I was demoing to web developers because they'd never heard of it

If you so it with webmention.herokuapp.com you can have it appear live in a window as you post

with Known, as it's synchronous, the mention appears on kevinmarks.com before the post displays
#
[benatwork]
Nice
#
aaronpk
https://webmention.rocks will show comments in realtime too
#
KevinMarks1
next demo is reply to a post on woodwind, see it appear on the post in real time, and it has gone to known inbetween
#
[benatwork]
That's definitely demo 2 - add a layer. (And of course where I'm demoing, "and Kyle wrote this bit" will go down well)
