hm, why not? I've seen notifications on android chrome work better than desktop chrome on mac
#
[kevinmarks]
my hovercards aren't very good TBH
#
tantek
design challenge or implementation challenge?
#
[kevinmarks]
design challenge mainly - coping with the variety of possible site information, and trying to make things fit in small sizes
#
[kevinmarks]
the ones where I just shrink the website look better than the ones I extract information from; http://www.unmung.com/hovertest
#
tantek
kevinmarks do you have examples of silo hovercards that look good from a design perspective?

I need to constrain the hovercard size more explicitly, or get a lot better at CSS

jeremycherfas
Looking for help extracting data from webmentions received. Different sources seem to supply vastly different amounts of information. What’s the best approach to extracting the bits I need, when they seem to occupy different key:value pairs in the file?
#
KartikPrabhu
jeremycherfas: are you using microformats?
#
KartikPrabhu
then the data should not be in different "key:value" pairs
#
aaronpk
What is comments presentation?
#
aaronpk
Some notes there
sknebel_ joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
I am receiving the files as arrays, and there are some microformat properties I recognise in there, such as h-card and h-entry.
#
KartikPrabhu
jeremycherfas: then you should use the h-entry and h-card and parse their properties
#
jeremycherfas
I thought I was dsoing that :( but I think my understanding of parse is non-standard.
#
KartikPrabhu
by parse I simply mean use the "key:value" stuff that is inside the h-entry properties
#
myfreeweb
files? arrays? webmention gives you a source URL, which you fetch and get HTML code, which you feed to a microformats2 parser that gives you JSON with key-values pairs
#
KartikPrabhu
myfreeweb: mf2 parsers can give you "arrays" depending on the language of the parser
#
KartikPrabhu
mf2py does give you python dicitonaries
#
jeremycherfas
That’s what I thought I was doing, but the value for that is correct for one person’s webmentions is different from the other’s.
#
myfreeweb
ah php "arrays" are also dictionaries right
#
KartikPrabhu
jeremycherfas: can you show examples?
#
jeremycherfas
Myfreeweb: that’s somewhat beyond my skill level. My site runs on Grav, and a plugin writes a datafile with the contents of a webmention. That file varies greatly in complexity depending on its source.
#
jeremycherfas
Thanks kartikprabhu. I can. easier to do in Slack than in IRC. Is that OK?
#
aaronpk
Is it storing the parsed microformats?
#
jeremycherfas
I think so, but I’m so new to this I cannot be sure.
#
KartikPrabhu
jeremycherfas: I am not on Slack also I have to rush to a meeting. hoping someone else can take over
#
jeremycherfas
Thanks anyway.
#
KartikPrabhu
jeremycherfas: maybe you could upload the files to some URL on your site or Gist or something
loicm, leg and wolftune joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
And if I’m doing this sharing wrong, please let me know how.
#
KartikPrabhu
jeremycherfas: cool, what is some data that you'd like to get from it?
#
jeremycherfas
I think it is the nesting of the arrays, and how to addres specific key:value pairs, that is most difficult for me.
#
jeremycherfas
I identified a few things I want to get. h-card:properties:name for the commenter.
#
KartikPrabhu
gaah, really have to run now. I'll try to check this later
#
jeremycherfas
h-entry:properties:in-reply-to to decide whether to include content
#
jeremycherfas
He-entry:content:value if this was a reply — to display what they said
#
jeremycherfas
h-card:url for a link to the commenter’s home page, and finally
#
jeremycherfas
One that I **can** extract, which is the source-url of the comment. The plugin gives that to me separately.
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas]
Thanks kartikprabhu
#
myfreeweb
note that the h-card is sometimes in the author property of the h-entry, sometimes just out there, etc. there is an algorithm for determining the actual author: https://indieweb.org/authorship
#
[jeremycherfas]
Exactly! That’s the sort of thing that I find baffling. I wonder whether maybe I need to use json_decode() on my data file.
#
myfreeweb
it looks like YAML
#
sknebel
I'm not even sure what file format that is... Is the "h - item" thing some weird yaml option?
#
[jeremycherfas]
Yes, it is yaml.
#
myfreeweb
no the spaces are just weirdness coming from somewhere
#
myfreeweb
there's also "application / rss + xml" "apple - touch - icon - precomposed" and "in -reply - to"
nitot joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas]
I added the spaces to help me visualise the nesting.
#
[jeremycherfas]
Sorry; not those spaces, the indenting, I added.
#
sknebel
the grav webmention uses php-mf2 at least, so the parsing should be good
tantek joined the channel
#
sknebel
and apart from the weirdness with the rels it seems fine as well
#
[jeremycherfas]
Obviously I don’t fully understand what I am doing, but a value that gets the name in one case does not get it in the other, and vice versa.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
pops his head in
#
[jeremycherfas]
A big problem is that I do not seem able to access values directly. I have to get them as properties. So in one case `config.plugins.webmention.data.0.source_mf2.items.0.properties.author.0.value` shows me the correct author name, and in the other `config.plugins.webmention.data.0.source_mf2.items.1.1.properties.name` shows me the correct author name.
#
[jeremycherfas]
Now trying to discover whether there is a better way. There must be!
#
ben_thatmustbeme
items.0.properties.author.0.value would be the correct way to access something like that
#
ben_thatmustbeme
items.1.1 ... not quite sure what you would get there
#
ben_thatmustbeme
starts to read back
#
sknebel
(we also should probably move this to -dev)
#
[jeremycherfas]
I feel even more out of my depth in #dev
#
[jeremycherfas]
That’s the thing ben_thatmustbeme The two sets of data received from two different senders are very different.
#
[jeremycherfas]
Happy to take this to #dev. How much do I need to recopy, or what?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
no need to copy, we are in both
#
ben_thatmustbeme
just to keep this channel clear

Thanks for looking into this, jeremycherfas. ? I have been looking again at whether Grav will suit my site. Initially, I worried about performance one I added historical posts, but then I realized I should try and see how caching affects that. I haven’t gotten as far as webmentions yet, but I’ll welcome any progress you make when I do.
snarfed and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas]
You’re welcome. I made the decision to move to Grav precisely because it is blindingly fast when all goes well, and stretches me understanding how it works. But I am by no means a developer. So in some respects it is too complex, probably. But now that I have it, I want to make it work for me.
#
[tamaracks]
Yeah. I put my blog on Wordpress for now, so I could play with all the Indieweb stuff to see how it works. Wordpress is simple on the surface, but I usually get a headache when I start trying to look at plugin or theme code if it doesn’t already do what I want.
#
[jeremycherfas]
I moved from WP, first to Octopress and then to Grav, and the headaches are very different.
#
[tamaracks]
Yep. I was thinking about Hugo, but I am not sure I want to go to a static site generator yet, because that complicates some of the interactive aspects of indieweb.
#
[jeremycherfas]
True, although lots of indiewebbers seem to have cracked those problems, whereas very few are using Grav.
#
[tamaracks]
Yes, but I haven’t found any of their implementations (yet, anyway) that I thought I could do myself. It always seems to involve ruby or node.js.
#
[jeremycherfas]
what is static
#
Loqi
A static site is a website that is served by a web server directly from the file system https://indieweb.org/static
#
[tamaracks]
Static sites are just html files. Fast to serve, but not dynamic. Like Jekyll. I think Octopress too.
#
[jeremycherfas]
I thought there were examples there, but it seems not
#
myfreeweb
octopress was just a jekyll template IIRC
dch joined the channel
#
[tamaracks]
Well, that is to say that things like Jekyll are static site generators, which generate the HTML files.
#
[tamaracks]
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
#
Zegnat
Octopress had some default plugins too, I believe?
#
voxpelli
I do Micropub, Webmentions and Websub on my Jekyll site
#
[jeremycherfas]
I don’t recall Octopress having any plugins. But I abandoned it a couple of years ago.
#
myfreeweb
http://octopress.org seems the latest edition is more of a jekyll management tool with a ton of stuff
#
[tamaracks]
@voxpelli I saw your micropub to github project. It looks pretty cool, but I have trouble grasping node.js. It might be beyond my capabilities at the moment, particularly to change the output format for something other than Jekyll.
