lol I moved my css into the actual child theme and now I'm fixing all the bits that have mysteriously stopped working
#
acegiak
ok so this is NOT well organised code because it's mostly small tweaks and itch scratching BUT: https://github.com/acegiak/mf2_s-acegiak
#
acegiak
style.css and acegiakJavascript.js both contain facepile sections

Am I the only one using the repeat button emoji to represent reposts?
#
miklb
I used to use the ♻ recycle symbol on Twitter pre-retweet feature. That's a good one too
#
tantek
what is repost?
#
Loqi
A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another post. The act of reposting is an umbrella term that covers the general practice of republishing another post typically on the same service or silo, but more and more across sites https://indieweb.org/repost

acegiak: ^^^ :)
#
acegiak
when I posse a non-twitter repost I use the repeat emoji so people know I'm not claiming the work as my own
#
acegiak
tantek: that includes "repost with comment" though, yeah?
#
tantek
what is repost with comment?
#
Loqi
A quotation is a type of post that is primarily a subset of the contents of another post, and often has a citation of that other post https://indieweb.org/repost_with_comment
#
acegiak
oh interesting!
#
acegiak
So the thing I'm referring to is reposting the original content in it's entirety AND adding comment which the wiki suggests is something like a "quote tweet"?
#
acegiak
semantically I'm not quoting it to illustrate a point I'm making and I'm not replying to the original post, I'm showing the audience a piece of content and then adding additional commentary or content on top
#
Loqi
[Ashton McAllan] birbs are life

[Ashton McAllan] C R E D I T S : R E C I E V E D
#
acegiak
and yeah, quote tweet seems to be the closest thing I've found in the wiki
#
acegiak
it's weird to me that this isn't more common because it's a total staple of tumblr interactions

Twitter lore: ev originally suggested the recycle ♻ symbol for retweet in SMS Twitter, then realised that it only showed on iPhones at the time
#
KevinMarks_
What is fisking?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "fisking" yet. Would you like to create it?_c
#
KevinMarks_
fisking is the practice of reposting an article and interpolating commentary on between lines of it, often to mock or rebut the arguments in it.
#
KevinMarks_
Though that usually implies longer than just repost with a single comment
#
miklb
heh, I just call those Gruber posts
#
KevinMarks_
The translation ones are a sub genre
#
KevinMarks_
The have to include "I am high as a kite"
#
KevinMarks_
There are numbered recycle glyphs, though I don't think enough to show a 2 digit count

#
tantek
acegiak: I thought it was a *side-effect* of Tumblr interactions, that is Tumblr doesn't have "normal" comments, but rather only has repost with comment, and thus those are essentially just "comments" (especially since they show up on the original!) "so-and-so reposted this and said: .... etc."
#
tantek
cdevroe - how was Scranton? did you take a photo?

... we were going to use the hosted service, but it was missing some plugins, so we'll self-host. so how do we self-host? so this led to this application hosting platform service, libre.sh, you're meant to run your own node, and i like the way it's put together
#
aaronpk
... i installed it in a half hour, it does auto name provisioning from the namecheap api, and letsencrypt
#
aaronpk
... i'm hoping to build up a cluster of web hosting that's reliable so that anybody that wants a website it's easy, you can just ask your friend
#
aaronpk
... my main known domain is eric.pdxhub.org
#
aaronpk
correction: edrex.pdxhub.org is the known site

#
tantek
ooh interesting
#
tantek
curious what happened
#
GWG
acegiak: I need to have a look at your code. I still want to try to get some functions that could be called by a theme into Semantic Linkbacks.
#
acegiak
tantek: changes to the way that data was stored in the post_kinds plugin
#
tantek
yikes, non-backward compat data storage / schema changes!
#
tantek
that's the kind of thing that I think I sweat the most over in my code
#
acegiak
I'm debating running a data conversion versus adding a backwards compatability function
#
tantek
I do the latter first, then postpone any such data conversion / cleanup to a mass export / re-import later
#
GWG
acegiak: Stay tuned
#
miklb
GWG how soon do you think you'd be creating a "quotation-of" kind? Should I fork and add? I'd do a addon plugin, but you said quote was reserved.
#
acegiak
Oh, I can maybe hook into gwg's existing code for converting old datastructures to new
#
acegiak
miklb: you can create a new plugin to add your own kinds
#
GWG
miklb: I want to work on it. But PRs are always welcome
#
GWG
acegiak: Mood is now a reserved word.
#
acegiak
ah ok!
#
acegiak
I need to work out a low friction way to enter that data
#
miklb
acegiak quote is reserved, so I would have to use something else, which is fine, but if the core plugin added quote later, it wouldn't be compatible
#
GWG
I held it for you
#
acegiak
thanks
#
acegiak
Oh! I could use a similar function to what I already use for entering gameplay data through my chat bot
#
tantek
acegiak - yes I'm a fan of low friction ways to enter data!
#
tantek
e.g. I imply data from text prose
#
acegiak
should be able to have him prompt me to enter data regularly as well
#
tantek
IMO that's part of text first design, not just text first output, but text first input!

So my partner is gonna move her site from paid shared hosting to our homeserver and were thinking about indieweb stuff. The thing is her current website is her professional portfolio and we're trying to work out how to reconcile that with the kind of social contebt, if any, that we usually see on indieweb sites
#
tantek
acegiak: sounds like a fit for a static site first to get the portfolio stuff reliably working
#
tantek
and then add social on top / on the side

Yeah definitely. Just trying to work out how we want to add the social in

Hello
#
MasoudAbkenar
I'm using Wordpress with SemPress theme. I want to write a short note and POSSE it to twitter. Which "Post Kind" or "Format" should I choose so that my note looks fine on my own blog?
friedcell joined the channel
#
miklb
MasoudAbkenar are you using the Post Kinds IndieWeb plugin?
#
MasoudAbkenar
miklb: Let me check...
#
MasoudAbkenar
Post Kinds by David Shanske that is.
#
miklb
good deal. Personally, I use the "note" post kind for short posts that POSSE to Twitter via the bridgy-publish plugin.
#
MasoudAbkenar
Well, "Post kind: Note" does the job. But it's a bit plain...
#
miklb
MasoudAbkenar what are you wanting in regards to how it is presented on your site?
wolftune and tolerablyjake joined the channel
#
MasoudAbkenar
Well, I don't exactly know. I want it to look nicer. This is what I get already:
#
MasoudAbkenar
Sine no post title is shown, the data is almost touching the top border.
#
MasoudAbkenar
*Since
#
MasoudAbkenar
*date
#
miklb
MasoudAbkenar you should be able to adjust that in the theme. I'm not sure if SemPress is set up to have child themes, or if you'll need to adjust the main style.css
#
MasoudAbkenar
Good point! I think I should do it myself.
#
MasoudAbkenar
And possibly send it upstrea
#
MasoudAbkenar
upstream
#
miklb
a class of .note is set on those articles, so you can target accordingly
#
MasoudAbkenar
Thank you! I'm looking into that!
#
GWG
MasoudAbkenar: May I make a suggestion? Turn off the Post Kinds setting for Therme Compatibility and the titles will return.
#
GWG
By the way, since I am the only one it seems who likes the theme compatibility setting as it is implemented, it will be gone or rewritten in the next release, whenever that is.
#
GWG
It seems to confuse more than help.
#
MasoudAbkenar
miklb I can't find any ".note" anywhere in the theme directory. Any ideas where exactly should I find it?
#
miklb
MasoudAbkenar I meant that the post-kinds plugin adds that class to articles, so you can target the styling in your CSS
#
MasoudAbkenar
GWG I have no problem with titles not showing up. If I end up POSSEing it to twitter, and twitter of course doesn't show the title, I don't want the content to be different from my blog and twitter. So no title is fine with me.
LanaCoyote, snarfed, loicm and KevinMarks joined the channel
#
miklb
fwiw, I don't give titles to my notes.
#
GWG
MasoudAbkenar: I can't stop them from displaying at all because that is the theme.

#
Zegnat
tantek, that’s not the next event, the next event is the HWC NL Valentine’s Special ;)
#
Zegnat

#
tantek
!tell benwerd could you upload HWC SF photo to wiki or txt me and I can do it? Thanks! :) https://indieweb.org/events/2017-02-08-homebrew-website-club#Photos

I didn’t know I was supposed to take a HWC photo! Will do next time.

GGW I am going to spend a few minutes to see if I can find out why Bridgy Publish won’t call the proper actions when using the WordPress mobile app. I’ve run into this in the past. Hopefully my experience will make this not too terrible of a hunt.
#
[cdevroe]
Is the latest code on GitHub by chance?

I think the WordPress app uses the WP API (formerly XML RPC?) to post, so it may not trigger plugins
#
[cdevroe]
gregorlove It does trigger plugins. Most hooks work, if not all. But there are a few idiosyncratic things I’ve run across. As an example, when posting from the Admin and hooking into ‘publish_post’ (as an example) the post format is set, but not using the API. I don’t know why. But that is just one thing that I came across when I was only tweeting statuses and couldn’t figure out why the mobile app wouldn’t fire my plugin properly.
#
[cdevroe]
I’m going to see if something similar is within Bridgy Publish.
#
[cdevroe]
I’m thinking the API doesn’t allow what GGW is doing with scheduling a cron.
#
[cdevroe]
I don’t know the purpose of the cron so I won’t toy with it until I speak with him via Skype or something.
#
[cdevroe]
I’m guessing the plugin assumes that the Bridgy links aren’t on the page for 5 seconds? Or that Bridgy itself may not see the new URL for that amount of time? I’m not sure.
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: Stuck working at home today due snow.
#
GWG
So drifting in and out of the room
#
GWG
The webmention doesn't get sent to Bridgy until 5 seconds later
#
GWG
I may remove it. It was basically because in the WordPress Post UI, setting Syndication Links from the metabox and setting it from Bridgy were interfering with each other.
#
GWG
But I will probably go back to synchronous and just set an extremely high number for the priority.
#
[cdevroe]
GWG I see.
#
[cdevroe]
I too am working from home due to snow.
#
[cdevroe]
9.5” avg with 16” drifts here.
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: I have the Bridgy Publish issue list up now and will be working on it
#
[cdevroe]
Please let me know if there is anyway that I can help. I have a vested interest in having it work properly as I’d like to post more from my phone.
#
miklb
[cdevroe] have you looked into using micropub for posting from mobile device?
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: Me too. I didn't consider the WordPress mobile apps, as I wanted to get the chain set for MicroPub. Quill and Inkspot both do well on mobile.
#
GWG
Chain as in
#
GWG
Post on Phone to WordPress to Twitter.
#
GWG
One of my listed itches is Owning My Bookmarks. I currently bookmark things in Pinboard. And I haven't gotten to that goal.
#
GWG
I want to be able to bookmark to my site from my phone, so the Micropub thing is big in that too
#
GWG
Because no way am I writing an Android app
#
GWG
Well, not no way. But I feel that way now.
#
[cdevroe]
milklb I don’t see myself using a _different_ app to post to my blog.

PWAs on android are getting intent support soon, so you'll be able to do it with your web site
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: Would you ever log into wp-admin on your phone?
#
[cdevroe]
I’m also fully aware that I’m now relying heavily on Bridgy for everything to work. That is also something I’d like to eliminate in the future.
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: That is what most of us relying on Bridgy say
#
[cdevroe]
GWG I suppose I could. I’m not against it. But it seems like the plugin as it is (just removing the cron) should allow it to work with _any_ app that uses the API
#
[cdevroe]
There are a lot of apps that use WordPress API now.
#
[cdevroe]
GWG — I believe it. In a recent post on my blog I even remarked that keeping up with all of this is almost too exhausting and would considering ditching all of POSSE at some point.
#
[cdevroe]
Just post to my blog.. allow people to consume via RSS… if they don’t want to, well, then, good for them I suppose.
#
[cdevroe]
If another silo comes into the scene soon I’m guessing a lot of indiewebbers may end up feeling similar.
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: It is early days. That is why we all want to make it easier for the next generation.
#
GWG
And why Bridgy and Silo.pub are nice 'training wheels' because they allow you to support multiple sites with a common API
#
[cdevroe]
No doubt, Bridgy makes it much much easier (once you understand what it is doing)
#
[cdevroe]
GWG Ok, hopping off then for now. If you need anything you can let me know or assign to me on GH
#
GWG
But, the problem is always you want to do more than you have.
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: Suggest anything you are interested in
#
[cdevroe]
Two things right now: Plugin work with mobile app, Facebook just post Title + Link rather than all of context in TEXT form.
#
[cdevroe]
That’s all I need.
#
GWG
[cdevroe]: That second one may take some thought. I have to read snarfed's docs on if that can be set.
#
GWG
The first one I'm going to change the Trigger method.

[cdevroe] micropub isn't so much as a new app, but another way to get data into your site. Depending on your mobile platform, there are multiple ways to send content to your site via Micropub.

wonders if aaronpk has considered making Quill a PWA during one of his 100 days, or is it already?

Hey Gwg: any ideas why my post-kinds box in my editor window is missing after pulling from you? I haven't had a chance to go through and debug it yet

GWG
[acegiak_net]: Not specifically. I have some changes I need to work on for that, after I fix Bridgy Publish.

Hey everyone. I’m new around here. I’m working on becoming a good citizen of the IndieWeb ? However, I’ve run into an issue. I have github and twitter accounts linked from my home page (http://eddiehinkle.com) When I test it here: https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me/?url=http%3A%2F%2Feddiehinkle.com it says Twitter doesn’t link back, but I do have it linking back. Any thoughts on if I’m missing something here?
