#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
#ZegnatYou can just start an online one for the next HWC date, jeremycherfas.
#jeremycherfasI could Zegnat but I’m such a newbie that I have little to offer and much to learn.
#voxpelliI find this channel to be pretty lively during HWC:s, so it's always possible to somewhat attend by just hanging around here :)
Pierre-O and nitot joined the channel
#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.
#lukasrosSaw this recently and thought it's quite in line with IndieWeb sites.
#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
#aaronpki think it's meant to be more narrative than data-driven
#aaronpki kind of have that just on my home page at the top
#aaronpkor my projects page is kind of along those lines
#lukasrosI also understood it as more narrative. Of course it could be generated by code but that would probably defeat its purpose.
#lukasrosPersonal websites often have it but not always as dedicated page.
#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.
#snarfedGWG: got it. i'm open to suggestions on how to prioritize permalinks in bridgy publish
#GWGsnarfed: Is there any way I could tell Bridgy to ignore the shortlink rel?
#snarfednot yet, but like i said, i'm open to suggestions
#Loqitantek: [cdevroe] left you a message 6 hours, 19 minutes ago: 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.
#voxpelli^ some inspiration when it comes to picking mf2-properties out, with some real world examples
#tantekah I see we need a simple "how to" for parsing link preview properties from microformats
#GWGI basically just want to provide a URL and get the relevant properties in a simplified form no matter what I am displaying
#GWGvoxpelli, I was going to return something jf2 like.
#GWG I figured before I did a run at enhancing my display code, I should extract all the properties I might want to display.
#GWGSo I am sitting here and asking...is having rel/u-syndication a good idea?
#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
#GWGvoxpelli, I basically rewrote the code to extract any property I put in an array. So I can come back and amend.
#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)
#GWGvoxpelli, I will likely prune my list during this code cleanup.
#GWGBut I wanted to decide if there was something worth displaying
#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
#tantekit's at least worth documenting as an emerging phenomenon of sorts
#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

#davidmeadfuny tantek. i justed started to resurrect my “blogroll” sidebar as I’m weeding through my RSS feeds :-)
#sebselthe second 'now' page I click is 404 already.
#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.
#tantekthat's the key, the more automated, the more chance it will be up to date ;)
#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.
#tantekit's like, update and fix what you have instead of creating yet one more thing you won't update
miklb joined the channel
#aaronpknone of that is automatic, but because it's on my home page i'm always incentivized to keep it up to date
#sebselaaronpk your recent sleep-post is not automated?
#aaronpkthose posts are automated. i'm talking about everythig above that
#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 :')
