What's the terminology here. As we "syndicating out a post to silos" or are we "publishing a post to silos".
#
aaronpk
"syndicating a post" works. "syndicating" already implies "out"

what is POSSE
#
Loqi
POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to 3rd party services with permashortlinks back to the original on your site https://indieweb.org/POSSE
#
j12t
aaronpk: because the Wordpress plugin calls it "publish" :-)

j12t: Which plugin?
#
j12t
I think it's Bridgy, but there might be others.
#
GWG
j12t: Bridgy refers to their service as Bridgy Publish, sye
#
j12t
GWG: I'm working on the Wordpress tutorial. It's confusing to use two different terms for the same thing.
#
GWG
Okay
#
snarfed
true! bridgy mostly calls backfeed "listen" and syndication "publish." unfortunate. i picked listen before i discovered indieweb at least, but i don't have an excuse for publish :P

chrisaldrich: gRegorLove left you a message 2 days, 17 hours ago: as a fellow /read poster, would appreciate your thoughts on https://gregorlove.com/2017/12/my-project-for-todays-indiewebcamp/
#
gRegorLove
^ I pretty much decided on "to-read" btw. See -dev logs yesterday. :)
#
gRegorLove
That post is updated, too, doesn't reference "want-to-read"
#
chrisaldrich
gRegorLove: That seems pretty solid. My usual problem is between the various semantics of what "read" means and when does it indicate past tense or not.
#
chrisaldrich
shorter is better, but having things that are both human readable AND machine readable is always nice when possible
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, the human-readable fallback in Quill will still be "Want to read," "Currently reading," and "Finished reading"
#
gRegorLove
re-reading was also talked about a bit yesterday. Don't think it needs a separate status. Counting the "finished"s tells you how many times you read it.
#
chrisaldrich
I was thinking about that the other night when I noticed that Goodreads had something listed as a second reading when in fact it was my first reading. They've only added that stuff in the last few months iirc.
#
chrisaldrich
I've just been reading the recent posts by Eddie and Tom. Glad to see so many working on /read

While thinking about /read (ing) related ideas, I'm curious about people's thoughts on the subtle difference between /archive pages like http://boffosocko.com/tag/want-to-read/ and /collection which are similar in form though the latter doesn't seem as DRY?
#
gRegorLove
Tag archives are automatic, right? Collections are a post the user takes an action to publish
#
aaronpk
collections are curated lists of posts, not necessarily sorted by time. tag pages are usually reverse-chronological and automatic.
[chrisaldrich], [cleverdevil], calumryan and tantek__ joined the channel
#
chrisaldrich
I see those semantic differences, but there's also a LOT of work for some collections...
#
chrisaldrich
I'm so many episodes behind on Percolator...
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
Collections imply sequence?
#
aaronpk
collections imply a chosen order
j12t joined the channel
#
aaronpk
like storify
#
chrisaldrich
order is definitely a subtle difference, though perhaps an archive for a tag could be sorted on any number of methods to get a similar result without the extra work.
#
chrisaldrich
This could also be useful for things like wishlist items at the holidays that might need to be re-ordered by preference of "want to have" rather than datetime posted.
#
gRegorLove
Patreon blog has a nice horizontal bar indicating your progress as you scroll down the page: https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change/
#
chrisaldrich
gRegorLove: the problem is that I feel like I'm done reading at the halfway point of the horizontal bar. Are you being subtly enticed to keep scrolling to finish the progress bar?
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, it probably should be tied to the post content length, not page length
#
chrisaldrich
But if you're an advertising driven site, that kind of UI could be used as a dark pattern.
#
chrisaldrich
I often reorder my want to read lists on GoodReads and would want to do that on my own site, but would hate to have to do it by hand on an ongoing basis when I can reuse pre-built functionality like tagging on individual posts.
calumryan joined the channel
#
chrisaldrich
Does a feed or h-feed necessarily imply a time-based order? Feed feels like it does historically, but somehow h-feed doesn't necessarily to me.
#
gRegorLove
Hmm, you could include the desired order on your to-read post? Or more generally, just a priority like: high, medium, low?
#
[kevinmarks]
Feeds aren't necessarily time based - the sequence can be quality of match too
#
gRegorLove
Then the page that parses your read posts could handle it automatically.
#
[kevinmarks]
Think of nuzzel, where it's sorted by number of shares, then by date
#
gRegorLove
chrisaldrich: From my own lesson at IWC Austin, might be best to start with "How will you indicate the order/priority for an individual /read post?"
#
chrisaldrich
I'm definitely thinking about some type of order/priority, but I know the UI will get much trickier when I move over my more than 4000 records....
#
gRegorLove
Hopefully your current ordering is available in the Goodreads export!
#
chrisaldrich
gRegorLove, yes to some extent. I'm also using a sync plugin that works with Calibre to manage an even larger data set than Goodreads provides.
#
chrisaldrich
I'm also trying to balance what's already built into WordPress with what I'd also like it to ultimately do without doing much jury-rigging.
#
chrisaldrich
I suspect that a meta-box with the right pieces of data could do most of the heavy lifting, but still have data relatively available for external sources that might need/want it.
