aaronpk i was thinking about what I'd want out of an "on this day" feature for my site. I have *so many* posts every day, so I was thinking maybe showing just the one that has the most replies or likes.
#
KartikPrabhu or the one that is "pinned" ?
#
skippy "on this day I wrote X posts, from Y number of locations"
#
aaronpk ooh I like "from __ number of locations"

#
[eddie] I like the some of the logic ideas around "most replied to", etc. there could also be some logic around "photo post" or "photo checkin" would be higher priority than "regular checkin" or "regular post"
#
[eddie] cleverdevil: makes sense, being burned is never fun.
#
miklb GWG have you been testing the plugins against 4.8 yet?
#
aaronpk comparing today's day from past years on my site is funny. i've added *so much* new content to my site in the last few years
#
aaronpk iv'e gotta work on importing all my checkins tho. that'll go back to 2009.

#
KartikPrabhu what is following?
#
Loqi follow is a common button in silo UIs (like Twitter) that adds updates from that profile (typically a person) to the stream shown in an integrated reader, and sometimes creates a follow post either in the follower's stream ("… followed …" or "… is following …") thus visible to their followers, and/or in the notifications of the user being followed ("… followed you") https://indieweb.org/following
#
KartikPrabhu what is response context?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "response context" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
KartikPrabhu what is reply context?
#
Loqi A reply context is the display of what a reply post is in reply to, including linking to that original post with in-reply-to markup, showing some amount of that original post like author name, icon, summary / ellipsed content, and datetime published https://indieweb.org/reply-context

GWG miklb: I have not been testing against 4.8
#
miklb 1st RC came out today, I'm going to go ahead and switch. I'll keep an eye out for anything wonky and open issue if necessary.
#
GWG miklb: Thank you.

#
gRegorLove Does the newsletter show GIFs? /2017/Nuremberg has one but it's not showing up ^
#
gRegorLove Hm, maybe it's outside the h-event
#
gRegorLove That should do it.
#
mblaney skippy: I use /dobrado for my feed reader. You're welcome to try it at my site, https://unicyclic.com if you don't want to install it.
#
mblaney It can import and subscribe to traditional feeds and h-feeds, has integrated posting, micropub, etc. etc. :-)
#
mblaney Also one of the regular contributors to SimplePie has taken up the JSON feed challenge, so looks like that's going to happen too.
strugee, wolftune and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
gRegorLove Whoa, cool mblaney. I didn't realized it was a micropub client and a reader
#
mblaney thanks gRegorLove, always more to do but it's getting there.
#
mblaney missed him by that much.

#
[eli_oat] It's been a blast jumping in after sort of lurking on the edges for a while
#
[eli_oat] I'm going to have to spend the weekend working on work-work, though, because all of this tinkering cut into the time in the evenings i usually set aside for getting the technical, non-meeting bits of my job done! ?

#
[jeremycherfas] Not sure what you mean gregorlove I read the post from eli_oat on micro blog, and so I knew he'd done something. Then I came here and as I caught up on the channel saw the back and forth.
#
[jeremycherfas] The time stamps are clear.
#
gRegorLove [jeremycherfas]: I mean the display of most recent at top. It's not unclear, just usually see [item being replied to] with replies listed chronologically under it.
#
Loqi [indienews] New post: "Site Updates: Webmention Notifications in Matrix with Hubot" https://martymcgui.re/2017/05/26/160758/
#
[jeremycherfas] Ah. Ok gregorlove I think when you swipe to see the conversation it is centered on the post you swipe from. It all takes getting used to.
#
gRegorLove Haven't tried it on mobile
#
