# 02:31 GWG Been a bit stressed post return from LA. Need to get things under control so I can get back to things I enjoy doing.
# 02:31 GWG Like writing location code I've been working on for 2 years.
# 02:35 Loqi [gRegor Morrill] Testing receiving webmentions from Known and other indieweb sites.
# 02:35 gRegorLove I'm wondering if TheGillies's webmentions not coming through / not sent is because posting to Known via micropub?
# 02:50 Loqi [Michael Bishop] Here’s a webmention posted through Quill to Jekyll
# 02:54 miklb my logs aren't that robust. Just caches to static file the sent mention
snarfed joined the channel
# 02:56 miklb and Safari Tech Preview is crashing on TravisCI site so can't look at the raw output of the build
# 02:57 gRegorLove Both my manual tests are showing up in my logs, too. My logs are pretty good, but maybe I'll try turning them up to 11

# 03:03 mblaney gRegorLove looks ok to me, got 202 and message: Webmention from unicyclic.com queued for processing.
# 03:11 miklb I can't speak to how robust my webmention sending is. It works with bridgy, but that's about the extent that I've used it lately
# 03:18 gRegorLove About the only thing I didn't have covered by logs is requests that aren't application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I'm logging those now so we'll see what happens.
# 03:30 GWG gRegorLove: How do you log your webmentions?
# 03:32 gRegorLove I log a human-friendly message, the IP, and the POSTed parameters.
awolf joined the channel
# 03:32 GWG The human friendly message is, out of curiosity?
# 03:36 GWG I was trying to figure out translations and webmention error messages.
# 03:36 GWG Should your webmention error messages be localized?
# 03:37 GWG It is. But if I mentioned an endpoint and I couldn't understand the response, I don't know what to do.
# 03:37 gRegorLove What are the chances you're mentioning a URL in a language you don't understand? :)
# 03:38 gRegorLove If a site's all German, I'd expect their endpoint to respond in German too.

# 06:32 mblaney !tell shaners I like your new logo design, but not sure about moving from 2d to 3d.
# 06:32 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 06:52 Salt mblaney, that's pretty cool, I would trim off the bottom left corner of the I, will avoid it looking like a B and make the W more pronounced
rrix joined the channel
# 06:59 mblaney it's probably a bit too abstract, but I like it more than the last two I came up with.
# 07:00 Salt personally I really like it, would like to see that corner cut to see if that works, but yeah...great direction

# 07:03 mblaney also, while your here, noticed you mentioned LCA the other day? I could be convinced to head down to Hobart if there's enough of an indieweb contingent going...
# 07:06 Salt alas my two talks and miniconf proposal were not accepted
# 07:06 Salt going to be talking to someone over the next couple of days and seeing if I can get speaker funds for helping run their miniconf
# 07:07 Salt back to working on this presentation... giving it in the morning and have to finish at least 7 more slides
# 07:08 Salt I may be reading off of my notes a bit... at least our recording solution for this year is slides+audio :P
# 07:09 mblaney oh well it's a great conference if anyone wants to pay to go, was discussing going with a friend already.
# 07:12 Salt mblaney, would love to, infact have an offer of someone to stay with, but can't swing the flight cost

# 19:02 Loqi [indieweb] "@christi3k I think that’s a false dichotomy.
#indieweb tools are more usable to more people every year.
A plurality of projects is more sustainable and resilient than silos^1 or monocultures^2.
^1 indieweb.org/silos, e.g. ello.co and before that identi.ca
^2 indieweb.org/monoculture, e.g. tent.io
All had hopeful surges of interest, followed by disappointment, shrinking, and eventual abandonment.
All such efforts are unsustainable and doomed.
No one new site or open source project will solve this. We need to move beyond such “panacea” assumptions, and accept the hard work of a plurality of indieweb/decentralized approaches and solutions that interoperate with open standards.
That hard work starts with each one of us who can do it today, not waiting for someone else to build something tomorrow.
Help make a difference *today* by starting with yourself, your site, your posting behavior.
Set an example, like by posting all your tweets/notes to christiekoehler.com instead of or before posting them to Twitter. And at the same time, help document and raise awareness of what could be better, easier, friendlier, for you, for all users.
The https://indieweb.org/ community actively makes user experience a priority for all and is here to help you do all of that (including openly documenting all opportunities for improvement).
https://indieweb.org/principles
There are already tens of thousands of such indieweb sites that federate with each other today. That number has grown >10x each year since the small handful of us that got federating working among our personal sites in 2013. We are dedicated to continuing to grow, with more projects and better usability across the board, which is how we will reach and empower more people, incrementally, sustainably, each year.

# 19:41 Loqi archive in the context of the indieweb refers to date-grouped (often monthly) sets of posts (AKA personal historical archives, a common form of navigation), but can sometimes mean archival copy, a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time https://indieweb.org/archiving
# 19:41 tantek from a cursory glance, I think spiderpig is more thorough
# 19:41 tantek since that flattening post recommends wget directly (error prone) and mass editing files from a command line (quite fragile)
# 19:42 tantek gRegorLove: might be worth capturing as another approach
# 19:42 tantek at least so we can note how Spiderpig takes care of a bunch of what that post talks about, and in a better way
# 19:44 tantek Hey Twitter finally started showing reply counts in entry list views!
# 19:44 Loqi cweiske has 53 karma in this channel (61 overall)
# 19:45 cweiske so list pages only change if there is something deleted
# 19:45 tantek there are numbers next to the "reply" icon underneath tweets in lists of tweets, just like the retweet and like icons have numbers next to them
# 19:45 tantek so you can quickly see which posts have replies
# 19:46 aaronpk ah that flattening post addresses one of the limitations of spiderpig
# 19:46 KartikPrabhu cweiske: yeah, numbering works for chronological order but not for reverse-chronology. But I still prefer to mark pages by something more permanent like published date or something
# 19:46 aaronpk spiderpig doesn't handle URLs with query strings really, that post outlines a bunch of things you can do to fix it
sl007 joined the channel
# 19:47 cweiske KartikPrabhu, it also works for reverse chronological - you just have to flip the order of pages
# 19:47 tantek aaronpk - worth document what that post adds that spiderpig doesn't and vice versa
# 19:49 aaronpk i've stuck with date offset based URLs for my paging
# 19:50 cweiske aaronpk, that does not work for static pages that well
# 19:50 Loqi pagination is a UI pattern for navigation across (typically chronologically) sequential pages that show one or more posts such as permalink post pages, archives, search results, and lists of tagged posts https://indieweb.org/pagination
# 19:52 tantek and here I thought dynamic was non-statically-generated ;)
benwerd joined the channel
# 19:54 aaronpk i don't really see why that is different, especially because date-based pagination actually ends up being more "static" than numeric offsets, in that each page stays the same after it's been created

# 19:56 snarfed1 cweiske++ solid corpus
# 19:56 Loqi cweiske has 54 karma in this channel (62 overall)
# 19:57 tantek cweiske - wow it's superfast, and by date sort too!
# 19:58 tantek just tried searching it for "phinde" and it seems only ~3min behind actual chat!
# 19:59 aaronpk ooh if i add pubsub to the site then phinde could subscribe to realtime updates to keep its index up to date
# 19:59 tantek I'm actual quite comforted by the fact that this search index and cache is in Germany (presumably) and not hosted in the US in particular.
# 19:59 aaronpk hm except there isn't an actual "feed" of lines, because each date is its own permalink
# 20:00 cweiske but I actually have the first code for pubsub already :)
# 20:00 tantek aaronpk - a-ha you'd need an actual "today" page instead of making it a redirect :)
# 20:00 aaronpk no, i would just need to use the "today" URL as the pubsub "self" value
# 20:00 tantek then every line could be an item in that h-feed
# 20:00 tantek would that work? would sure make an interesting test!@
# 20:02 cweiske until pubsub is done on both sides I'll just add a cron that processes the chat homepage every hour

# 20:21 aaronpk hm should I add a newsletter signup to the home page?
# 20:22 tantek aaronpk - how do other "movements" or "projects" advertise their newsletter or email for updates?
# 20:23 aaronpk hm where would i find a list of such other movements or projects to draw inspriation from
# 20:24 tantek you are involved with other projects yes? like donutjs?
# 20:24 aaronpk i need a tag i can use so i can search my bookmarks for that
# 20:25 tantek aaronpk, start with what other communities do you spend time on?
# 20:25 tantek that list (of what inspires you) is personal, so it's unlikely to be on the wiki for example
# 20:26 aaronpk yes, i typically bookmark things like that on my site

# 21:14 aaronpk I have a specific list in Wunderlist where everything I add there gets posted to my site via micropub
# 21:14 aaronpk the script checks off the item and adds the post URL as a comment!

# 23:29 TheGillies I've started to use the indieweb as my social network exclusively. It's not even a statement. I'm kinda just over twitter/facebook
# 23:30 TheGillies Is there a wiki page with people who have indie sites or is irc people the best place to look?
# 23:37 gRegorLove TheGillies: I just confirmed a bit ago with benwerd that Known has some bugs sending webmentions apparently. Fixes will be coming soon.
# 23:37 benwerd I have the world's most rock and roll Friday evening ahead of me
