I get confused about the name "indieweb". Independent web. Why is it ind"i"eweb then?
#
camb[m]
I mean, what does the i in the middle stand for?
#
camb[m]
Is it just for lulz?

#
[colinwalker]
The word “indie” is a short, informal form of independent and has been for many years. Consider indie music - as in not from a major label.

And I'm such a dope I always thought it had something to do with India until recently :)

[miklb]
what is indieweb
#
Loqi
The IndieWeb is about owning your domain, using it as your primary identity to publish on your own site (optionally syndicate elsewhere), and owning your data https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb
#
[miklb]
interesting, no use of “independent”
#
KartikPrabhu
[miklb]: "independent" of what?
#
KartikPrabhu
if the answer is silos then that is in the definition
#
KartikPrabhu
implicitly
#
camb[m]
someone should ad it. :)
#
camb[m]
independent of corporate influence?
#
KartikPrabhu
camb[m]: too vague to be meaningful
#
KartikPrabhu
you could be a corporation and have your own website/blog too
#
[miklb]
KartikPrabhu, I was reading colinwalker’s explanation of of the use of “indie” so I checked the def. Wasn’t commenting either way as to appropriate definition in Wiki
#
KartikPrabhu
[miklb]: fair enough
#
camb[m]
Independent of massively centralized organizations.
#
KartikPrabhu
that is also implicit in the definition
#
camb[m]
Independent of central points of corruption.

(I'm just playing) I can stop
#
camb[m]
I need to install Woodwind and Known. Probably going to be tomorrow's project.
#
[miklb]
I think it’s always nice to revisit what IndieWeb means personally as well as a community. Even if as simple reminder
#
KartikPrabhu
what is Together
#
Loqi
Together is a reader that was initially conceived at the 2017 IndieWeb Summit in Portland by Jonathan LaCour and several others during the Putting it all together session https://indieweb.org/Together
#
KartikPrabhu
camb[m]: ^ that also looks promising as a reader
#
KartikPrabhu
though it is supposed to be "Experimental"
#
camb[m]
That looks very fancy 😅KartikPrabhu
#
camb[m]
The screenshots make it look like it supports likes and comments in the interface.
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah apparently is does, if you have your own site with micropub
#
camb[m]
Does it have the functionality of Woodwind with more eyecandy basically? (noob here)
#
camb[m]
have you tried it? @Cleverdevil seems to be a strong indieweb member.
#
camb[m]
I do have micropub
#
camb[m]
and Woodwind works with my wordpress (and hopefully soon Known)
#
KartikPrabhu
camb[m]: no experience with it yet mostly because I don't want to deal with React.
#
KartikPrabhu
maybe you should ask cleverdevil
#
camb[m]
KartikPrabhu: I will try. Thanks for the tip. It looks cool :)
#
camb[m]
I bookmarked it for tomorrow.
#
camb[m]
After milking cows ;)
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil]
Yes, we do support likes/reposts/replies right in the UI.
#
[cleverdevil]
It currently does require a Microsub server and a Micropub server to function, and there aren't currently many Microsub implementations.
#
[cleverdevil]
That said, I expect that to change this year.
#
KartikPrabhu
aah microsub part might make it tricky camb[m]
#
camb[m]
[cleverdevil]: Thank you for answering. I have micropub and woodwind working on my wordpress site.
#
[cleverdevil]
:thumbsup:
#
camb[m]
I will also be using Known on my site by tomorrow hopefully. What else would I need to use "together" ?
electronicmaji joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil]
Yeah, you'd need a Microsub server, and the only one right now that I am aware of is aaronpk's Monocle, but its not yet really a released project.
#
KartikPrabhu
[cleverdevil]: I think Monocle has been temporarily put on hold too
#
camb[m]
[cleverdevil]: Yes aaronpk mentioned Monocle yesterday. I will probably have to wait for a more stable release but I will look deeper when I can. How are you using it without monocle then?
#
[cleverdevil]
So, aaronpk is using Together with Monocle, to help drive Together forward, and I'm doing the same to help drive Monocle forward 🙂
#
[cleverdevil]
Its possible for you to set up Monocle on your own if you're super savvy with PHP, but if you're not, I'd say just wait a little bit until things shake out.
#
KartikPrabhu
that is a great example of tandem dev
#
KartikPrabhu
microsub server and client both pushing each other
#
[cleverdevil]
It really shows the value of Micropub and Microsub, to be honest.
#
dansup
aaronpk: would you mind if I sent some PRs for Monocle?
#
dansup
nothing major, just fix the env() use. It's not meant to be used anywhere besides config files, so you call config('app.name') rather than env('APP_NAME') since the config is cached.

#
krup
can anyone point me in the directon of docs for usage of e-* and p-* properties?
#
Loqi
krup: sknebel left you a message 4 hours, 37 minutes ago: on the settings page
#
gRegorLove
krup: The prefixes tell the parser how to get the value. p-* is for plain text, e-* is for element tree, where the entire contained elements are the value. More on http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-prefixes and we have #microformats chat for more specific microformats questions
#
Loqi
microformats 2 prefix conventions
#
krup
thanks
#
gRegorLove
You can try out HTML in http://php.microformats.io and see how it parses.
#
gRegorLove
I'm over in #microformats as well, so let me know if you have any questions

Free idea: A search engine that only indexes old-school personal blogs and forums. Tons of good content is so buried under social media-driven results that it is essentially invisible.

But I can curl the pgp.asc file from the server fine.

hrm, try linking to /pgp.asc instead of ./pgp.asc

OK, hard refreshed the site and it works. Who knows…
