is there a library or service for placing an arbitrary badge/graphic/icon on a user icon/avatar?

I know of ProfileOverlay (for FB stuff) and Avaratize (sp?) for Twitter - but really your talking about using imagemagik composite atop http://www.imagemagick.org/script/composite.php

[kevinmarks]
You can do it with css - that's what I do for likes and reposts
#
KartikPrabhu
i was going to say that ^
#
[kevinmarks]
Could do it with css into canvas and then dump a jpeg
#
[kevinmarks]
If you need to send it to a silo
#
tantek
kevinmarks that sounds quite clever
#
tantek
has anyone built that service yet?
#
tantek
1. enter your URL (or Twitter handle), and it goes and gets your current icon automatically (no need to upload)
#
tantek
2. it automatically adds whatever icon/badge that page is specifically for
#
tantek
(and shows the resultant JPEG that you can download)

KevinMarks
We already have a couple of web page to image services

Hi folks. Reading back-scroll from a few days ago, noticed the new page /Mastodon . I hoped to read a synopsis of how it adds to the IW movement and what it lacks. Just want to mention: the 'Criticism' section with its big show-and-shame picture of a server error when it 'was down for a bit' gives a pretty negative impression of the IW community's impression of it. Now the excitement of the moment has passed, consider moderating it (at least remove th

dah aaronpk I was just making a change
#
aaronpk
go for it
#
bnvk
aaronpk: how do you make a page case insensitive? I thought it used to do that automagically
#
aaronpk
mediawiki by default is case insensitive but we changed that years ago
#
bnvk
ah, was there a reason?
nitot joined the channel
#
aaronpk
you can set alternate link text for a [[ ]] link if you want
#
aaronpk
well mediawiki default is every page starts with an uppercase letter and that got annoying for pages that weren't proper nouns
#
aaronpk
so we switched it to case sensitive which lets us make lowercase page names
#
bnvk
gotcha

bnvk
anywho, updated

awesome, thanks

#
tantek
one day banner is a feature on some sites where they show a banner at or near the top of the page as a call to action for something for that day in particular, like a protest or an election. IndieWeb Examples: {{t}} on tantek.com for 2016-313 US Election day. Corp examples: [[Google Maps]], [[Gmail]] (Election day 2016).

It's pretty cool, but appears geared mainly towards Twitter / FB, no embed code for your own site.

You can download the mp4 though, so if you want to host it too, guess you could.

KevinMarks_: according to superfeedr docs that's code for "subscription failure, check response body for details"

which isn't terribly helpful without the details ;)

 I had to make an account to find out what's wrong. It's a pubsub.rocks bug. Instead of using your input as hub.topic, it takes the first "self" link from the feed and uses that. In our case, it takes a "self" of the first individual entry.
