acegiakThinking I might add local caching of hotlinked images to my itch list because I already have some post where I've reposted something that's later disappeared so the images are now dead
ZegnatYes, just being here during HWC can be great enough. Or just check the day before HWC if anyone else wont be making it to HWC and decide to form an online one then.
[cdevroe]!tell tantek Yes! We will be doing it again in two weeks for sure. And I’d imagine many times to come. Thanks for asking and for the encouragement to have the event.
petermolnarthat "now" idea is interesting, I'm guessing quite a few could put it together from all the quantified data they collect, rhiaro comes in to my mind first
GWGsnarfed: Problem is that WordPress generates the shortlink code whether you have a shortlink or not. So, I'm going to have to remove the generation unless the option to send the shortlink is enabled in the UI plugin.

voxpelliI would say the opposite, enhance your display code and extract the properties you need to do that and then extend it step by step with every new place that uses the code
voxpelliI only extract the properties that I'm currently using – I can always go back and extract the rest at a later date (and I also store the raw result of the mf2 parser to make that even easier)
LoqiGoogle now is a proprietary Google tool/service that keeps track of events and shows information cards from various sources with updates as needed https://indieweb.org/Google_Now
tantekI suppose I'm cynical about it because I used to keep all sorts of "now" information updated in my sidebar on my old blog, and then grew tired / too lazy to keep updating it, so it decayed and then I ditched it
tantekI'd suggest starting with a really short "now" (sidebar) section on your homepage (heck, aaronpk's is automated!) and then after you've updated it a few times, if you feel compelled to expand it beyond a small box / sidebar, then a "more..." link to a /now page makes sense
tantekmost people don't want to read a big long /now page anyway (tl;dr and all that) so it's more respectful to just provide a small / short list, with a "more..." link where you can expand as you wish
sebselyeah, I kind of 'stole' that idea from aaronpk by just adding a widget-like thing to my homepage. it features #100daysofindieweb now, which I will remove when it's not 'now' anymore. and since it's filled automatic with current content, it's not really hard to maintain.
sebseluhu, it also comes from having blogitems from 2015 still on the front page. most of personal sites have that I guess? posting notes on your website first also solves that problem.
tantekthat's what I would tell people who are looking at doing a /now page, first, is your home page up to date? no? go fix that first. now decide if you really need a separate /now page
aaronpki think there's something to the more manually curated list tho. I've been continually updating the bio on my home page, as well as the little icons+roles I stole from tantek, and then more recently added the row above my sleep posts.
sebselI was going to say something about having a bio on the top of every page that would do the same, but I realised that I quit Snapchat and it's still on there :')
