cweiske: tantek left you a message 15 hours, 40 minutes ago: agreed about your point about giving a screenshot about a totally different tool. my critique was more about use of "easily", like "simply", or "just", it's not a helpful encouragment, if anything makes the person feel ashamed for "not getting it".

Any projects today?

good morning!

jeremycherfas
Just finishing off some client work, then lunch.
#
Zegnat
Don't forget to make an /eat post 😉
#
Zegnat
wonders if Known has those
#
jeremycherfas
I don't think so. I could IG it and PESO, but I don't often do that.
#
Zegnat
Oh well, I should not be thinking of other CMS and finally finish some of my own stuff first.

just out of curiousity, are there any micropub servers that are easy to use with static site generators? Otherwise I'm kinda itching to write my own
#
cweiske
I don't know of any that were build for static site generators
#
aaronpk
there's one for Jekyll listed there
#
cweiske
since the server would have to generate the exact file format for that generator
#
aaronpk
I think there's another but I can't remember off-hand
#
cweiske
ah right
#
cweiske
via github
#
Loqi
[voxpelli] webpage-micropub-to-github: Self-hosteable Micropub endpoint that publishes to Jekyll by committing to GitHub
#
aaronpk
that's the one
#
wjh[m]1
Ahhh, thanks :)
#
wjh[m]1
then again, building one could be fun xD
#
aaronpk
definitely :)
wjh joined the channel
#
aaronpk
just added some links to https://indieweb.org/static_site#Micropub but feel free to expand that section
#
wjh
I was actually thinking of making something like what MicroPub does, then accidentally stumbled on all the IndieWeb stuff :D
#
wjh
neat, thanks

Is there an indieweb chat protocol?
#
aaronpk
what is chat?
#
Loqi
chat is informal messaging offered by numerous services, a few of which interoperate or bridge with each other, and also a set of brainstorms for what an amazing indieweb friendly chat web app/site could do https://indieweb.org/chat
#
aaronpk
one cour argue that our IRC logs are a good start to that: https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-12-05/1512493348420400
#
Loqi
[curve25519] Is there an indieweb chat protocol?
#
Zegnat
Is there a need for yet another chat protocol though?
#
tantek
unlikely. the ircv4 effort looks promising
#
tantek
right that, getting ahead of myself :)

#
tantek
what is a story
#
Loqi
A story is a singular (one per profile) time stream collection post, that consists of ephemeral photo and video posts that are shown in sequence one at a time and disappear from the collection 24 hours after being added https://indieweb.org/story
#
aaronpk
wait what
#
aaronpk
they turned it back into instagram?
#
tantek
stories archive
#
aaronpk
i'm very curious what about this UI is different from a regular instagram feed
#
tantek
"Archive will be activated automatically for everyone soon, and you’ll get a notification when it opens to you with the option to turn it off. Stories clips are saved in the same quality you uploaded them at. You can find the Archive on your Profile and switch between the Stories Archive and Posts Archive.
#
tantek
Archived posts appear in reverse chronological order with date stamps for clarity. You can’t download your entire Archive at once, but instead will have to download individual clips. Archived posts can be reshared to Highlights, Direct Messages, the feed, or downloaded and then pushed to your current Story."
#
Zegnat
Sounds like nothing changes about presentation but you get access to your own previous content?
#
Zegnat
In other words: IG was never removing the “ephemeral” content, and is now presenting it to you again through a new “feature”? ;)
#
tantek
not sure if it was all archived, or only new stories will be archived
#
tantek
darn it

I was so hoping somehow the new Marsedit would have micropub built in.
#
Zegnat
We discussed that on the last virtual homebrew club actually.
#
aaronpk
heh, I think he had to cut out a lot of features to ship it
#
[miklb]
If I knew it was even on the roadmap, I’d invest the time into starting using it. I should probably ask him
#
aaronpk
hearing him talk about the upcoming release on his podcast sheds some light into this :)
#
aaronpk
I think it might be a reasonable request for version 4.1 now! tho I wouldn't have tried to ask him to get it into 4.0
#
Zegnat
I think we had some podcast links in the vhwc notes.
#
[miklb]
guess I need to start listening to podcasts

I have a question about likes and bookmarks. Should my note have the same title as the item I’m liking/bookmarking?
#
aaronpk
a note doesn't have a title
Guest36 and veganstraightedg joined the channel
#
[miklb]
that’s what I thought, but currently the behavior of GWG’s post kinds plugin pulls in the title of the thing I’m liking/bookmarking as the title of **my** note.
#
veganstraightedg
Hey yall. Long time.
#
aaronpk
ah I guess there's always the <title> tag
#
veganstraightedg
I wanted to share with you folks part of what I've been working on while being away from IWC land this year.
#
veganstraightedg
I'm building a startup called Sandstorm to do distributed computing on lots of idle devices. Right now, it's just on EC2 servers. The vision is running jobs in the background on websites as a replacement for display ads.
#
veganstraightedg
Here's the deal about what we're building: https://sandstorm.co

And here's a write up about our first user (Breaker podcast app by Leah Culver and Erik Berlin) : https://medium.com/breakeraudio/get-new-podcast-episodes-faster-with-breaker-697d52d9d78c
#
dgold1
can I just ask -- I implemented h-entry markup on my site a while back, at the time I was just trying to get the markup working, I didn't spend a lot of time on the details
#
dgold1
Each of my h-entry contains some h-card markup, and there's a full-featured h-card embedded in my footer
#
dgold1
but the two are != the same
#
dgold1
is that right? is there a better way to do this?
#
aaronpk
dgold1: let's move the markup discussion to -> #indieweb-dev
#

what are CardDAV servers?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "CardDAV servers" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
sknebel
what is CardDAV?
#
Loqi
CardDAV is a protocol for syncing VCARDs https://indieweb.org/CardDAV
#
sknebel
vivus: I know of radicale
#
vivus
does a cardDav client need to be an "app" to sync contacts on Android/iOS?
#
sknebel
pretty sure yes
#
vivus
so davdroid can sync on Android.
#
veganstraightedg
oh yeah. veganstraightedg is shaners.
#
shaners
does /nick work here?

@aaronpk I'm enjoying your indieweb advent calendar month!
#
vivus
I was wondering when DisQus would be bought
sgreger joined the channel
#
vivus
w.r.t sandstorm.co where is the blockchain bit?
[eddie] joined the channel
#
shaners
@vivus Nothing about blockchain atm.
#
vivus
shaners: it may be a good idea to let the market determine the pricing. Think of it like a marketplace where buyers/sellers negotiate what rate they are willing to accept, add your 10% commission for being the middleman and that'll work
#
vivus
I disagree with running background JS scripts though, that is worse than autoplay video-ads
#
shaners
@aaronpk do you have more advent posts planned?
#
aaronpk
nope haha! but other people should feel free to contribute too! https://indieweb.org/2017-12-indieweb-challenge
#
Loqi
rofl
#
vivus
haha!
#
vivus
why did Loqi laugh by itself? D:
#
schmarty
aaronpk: would the indieauth spec updates count towards the challenge?
#
sknebel
hm, we need an entry for today then if aaronpk isn't providing it :P
#
aaronpk
I suppose the indieauth spec could count for today! tho I don't want to completely dominate the calendar :)
#
tantek
it counts!
#
tantek
and the race is still on: everyone else vs. aaronpk!
#
sknebel
for yesterday we might add sgregers twitter-link-thing as well
#
sknebel
(was that yesterday?)
#
aaronpk
will write a little blog post announcement then
#
tantek
we already had the Drupal 8 LB module with Webmention support
#
tantek
for yesterday
#
vivus
do questions about cardDAV servers go in #indieweb-meta ?
#
aaronpk
sounds like -dev
#
vivus
well if nobody has an issue about it, is anybody familiar with OSS clients to sync address books on iOS/Android?
#
tantek
agreed, all jargon -> dev
#
tantek
what is OSS
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "OSS" yet. Would you like to create it?
