!tell snarfed does Bridgy Publish do anything with a u-photo that is an SVG? does it try to send it to Twitter or FB or Flick to publish there? Thinking of trying one and seeing what happens
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
wolftune, Kamelreiter_ and j12t joined the channel
#
KevinMarks_
Svgur makes a png for them
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
Hm. I wonder if I could do content negotiation with the silos
#
KevinMarks
They reject the svg
nitot, sl007, aegibsonme and KevinMarks_ joined the channel
cweiske and tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
hmm looks like I'm not auto-embedding SVG in my CASSIS auto_link function. I wonder if KevinMarks already asked me to support this
#
tantek
does an SVG make sense as photo post? is anyone posting SVG photos?
#
tantek
PNG it is for now then, until we figure this out
#
sknebel
if there isn't a distinction between photos vs images in general, I'd say it makes sense.
#
KartikPrabhu
SVG photos are a weoird thing. image maybe
#
cweiske
commentpara.de uses an svg image as user photo
#
cweiske
s/user/author/
#
tantek
cweiske great example
#
cweiske
Loqi, WHY U NO sed replacements
#
cweiske
this svg does not render on withknown instances :/
#
tantek
are you providing a fallback PNG?
#
tantek
I'm curious how to POSSE an photo SVG
#
tantek
s/an/a
#
sknebel
is there a clear way to provide fallbacks?
#
KartikPrabhu
POSSE the URL to the SVG?
#
Loqi
[Paul Lindner] Slack no more. Why you should use Riot.im and Matrix.org
#
cweiske
broken image
#
Loqi
[Rob Fairhead] Wish I remembered to use @withknown to POSSE my tweets , and goodness knows how to PESOS them when I don't! #indieweb #indiewebshame
#
KartikPrabhu
sknebel: the <picture> or srcset markup provides fallbacks
#
tantek
sknebel yes, with <object> or perhaps <picture>
#
tantek
but it is not well explored IMO
#
tantek
I'd like to see modern examples of SVG with PNG fallback
#
tantek
especially to explore the use of the PNG in POSSE use-cases
#
tantek
e.g. can you upload an SVG to Twitter as a photo?
#
tantek
can you upload an SVG to Facebook as a photo post?
#
tantek
can you upload an SVG to Flickr as a photo?
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: I use SVG with fallbacks, not for POSSE though since I POSSE photos which are best in JPG
#
sknebel
In indieweb world, do any mf2 parsers do something useful with <picture> or srcset?
#
tantek
sknebel so far nothing special because no real world examples have been documented
#
KartikPrabhu
sknebel: no, mf2 parsing on that topic is waiting for use-cases/implementation
#
KartikPrabhu
leaves to sleep; tantek can continue ;)

#

maybe get proper indication for reply-to/bookmark-of/... implemented.
#
sknebel
really want to improve bookmarking for me
#
sknebel
yours? Webmentions?

@t @xtof_fr as a said in french, @staticmanapp does not go in the way of your (comments) markup, you’re totally free. Go #indieweb!

sknebel: webmentions for sure
#

And then moving on to bookmarking and checkins, though there is no way I will get it all done today.
#
petermolnar
it seems like ssl.com is getting desperate; I've reached the point to mark their letter spam
adactio joined the channel
#
petermolnar
is anyone PESOSing ( this is a word from now on ) their upvotes as bookmarks from HackerNews/Reddit/whatever?
#
cweiske
does not vote
#
cweiske
on Stackoverflow I do, though
#
cweiske
but no, no posseing
#
sknebel
wouldn't upvotes be more likes, especially since HN and reddit have extra bookmark features?
#
petermolnar
that's fair
#
sknebel
but no, I don't, they are not relevant enough. Thought about the bookmarks, but if then only as initial import maybe
#
sknebel
(since hopefully then directly bookmarking is just as easy as doing it on the platform)
#
petermolnar
that is why I said PESOS
#
Zegnat
I don’t use those platforms actively enough to consider PESOSing it in any form
Sebsel and mlncn joined the channel
#
petermolnar
had anyone worked with this for parsing sites without mf2? https://github.com/mozilla/readability
#
petermolnar
more importantly, is anyone aware of python/php implementations of it? :)
Sebsel joined the channel
#
cweiske
no. my search engine has its own dumb algorithm
Sebsel joined the channel
#
petermolnar
this would be mostly for parsing bookmarks

i want to turn my mini product reviews into markup that will appear with the little stars on google... is that documented somewhere?
#
aaronpk
what is a review?
#
Loqi
h-review is the microformats2 vocabulary for marking up review posts on web sites https://indieweb.org/review

cweiske
aaronpk, I did this

HWC the Netherlands has started ^.^
#
Zegnat
Jeena, is HWC Göteborg on?
tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk you likely have to use both h-review and classic hReview
#
tantek
Google has supported hReview since 2009, but not sure if they're parsing h-review yet
jmelesky joined the channel
#
aaronpk
yeah it looks like google is parsing hReview still, despite them not including it in their documentation anymore
[kevinmarks] joined the channel

[kevinmarks]
You can't upload svg to any silo as a photo, hence svgur.com
#
tantek
kevinmarks ah ok
#
tantek
so for SVG POSSEing, we have to use fallback PNGs for now
#
[kevinmarks]
If you post an svgur.com URL, I make a png preview for the silos
#
@kevinmarks
The nice thing about building an SVG sharing site is the unexpected art http://svgshare.com/s/QF

#
[kevinmarks]
Svgur.com has the fb and twitter preview metacrap so that the png shows
#
[kevinmarks]
I thought I already added svg to autolink
#
[kevinmarks]
I need to write up the weirdness I found when filtering out script from svg
#
tantek
kevinmarks, any examples of using SVG for the poster image for a video?
#
[kevinmarks]
Not seen that
#
[kevinmarks]
I have some animated svgs
#
tantek
aaronpk oops! omission. add it! (how many indieweb sites are publishing?)
#
[kevinmarks]
Including one I nipsa'd for being too strobe like
#
aaronpk
there are 5 listed on https://indieweb.org/review although not all of them use review markup
#
aaronpk
not sure if the list of post kinds is ordered by number of implementations based on markup or by concept
#
tantek
aaronpk I think I've been using *live* publishing examples, whether there's any particular explicit markup or not
#
tantek
aaronpk: note that /checkin is on the list ;)
#
aaronpk
ah yeah
#
aaronpk
well then it fits somewhere in the top list
#
aaronpk
oh look the wikitext has comments
#
[kevinmarks]
I have people posting svgs with embedded base64'd jpeg ads
#
tantek
aaronpk yes that's my notes :)
#
tantek
KevinMarks yikes that's really bad fallback abuse!
#
aaronpk
well I used ⭐️ for review because it wasn't used for like/favorite

sebsel and I have been working on checkins this HWC, see #indieweb-dev for discussions :)
#

I just realised I now have realised both a bookmark and a checkin post, before getting a webmention receiver live on licit.li
#

Zegnat: probably our most popular yet here in London, great to have some more presence in Europe.

HWC the Netherlands shrunk, with petermolnar’s absence. But we thought it important to try and keep it on the regular schedule. Still debating what to do with 12-28

Zegnat - 12-28 is a good status / stretch check for 2017-01-01 commitments

Great HWC London. Managed to get hobbsy set up with a website on GitHub Pages/Jekyll. Now wrestling with Mediawiki to get everyone on the HWC RSVP list!
#

I won’t be in the Netherlands, and I don’t think petermolnar is flying in/out around that date either. So as for regulars, only sebsel will be here

I might try to attend HWC Göteborg 12-28, if it is going on

#
Zegnat
I will be back in the Netherlands for 01-11, so barring anything weird happening HWC the Netherlands will be on then
#
aaronpk
notes that the amazon reviews have a one-line summary, but not sure if this is the same as a "name"
#
aaronpk
especially cause if you don't type a one-line summary, an amazon staffer will add one for you

#
tantek
aaronpk - I think there might be more analysis of amazon review in microformats.org/wiki/review-examples
#
Zegnat
Don’t App Store reviews do “start with a one-liner” too? It seems a pretty often used format, abstracted to: give your opinion in X characters, extend on your opinion in X words.
#
aaronpk
yeah except the amazon UI is reversed!

ah i have to go to the product page for it first

can you mark the "I already own one" checkbox? does that work?

is this in the /Amazon#How_to_POSSE write-up?
