What is FAANG?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "FAANG" yet. Would you like to create it?_ (Or just say "FAANG is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegorLove
what is finsta?
#
Loqi
finsta is a portmanteau of fake and Instagram, a typically private pseudonym account that only a few close friends follow, and used to post more informally and frequently, without any of the typical Instagram posting conventions; as few IndieWeb are private, this may be worth exploring https://indieweb.org/finsta
#

what is insta?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "insta" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "insta is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
chrisaldrich
I'd seen acronyms for Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, and other similar conglomerates of /silos before, but saw a reference to FAANG as a shorthand for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google as a group.

If you use Netlify to deploy your static site, and use webmention.io, add Zapier to the mix, and then webmention.io -> webhook -> Zapier -> Send Email (optional) & POST Netlify build URL -> Your static site updates!
#
kaushalmodi
So now the delay between receiving a new webmention and seeing it updated on your *static* site is just about a minute for the whole trip.. Hey Hugo user here :D
#
tantek
not bad!

@kaushalmodi
@buhakmeh @biilmann @GoHugoIO @zapier @Netlify The meta data like author, post title, post content, etc. is auto-parsed as I am using Microformats2 HTML classes to wrap my post content..

No title because winer doesn't do microformats
#
cweiske
the page has a <title>
#
Zegnat
XRay doesn’t do <title>. Nor OpenGraph, which that page also has
#
cweiske
so it has custom handling for a) twitter, b) github and c) mf2

What is XRay?

Loqi
XRay is an open source API that returns structured data for a URL by parsing microformats and following other indieweb algorithms, and is part of the p3k suite of applications https://indieweb.org/XRay
#
petermolnar
Zegnat: did you make a pull request from that?
#
Zegnat
petermolnar, what? YouTube support for XRay? It isn’t a PR, because it is unpolished, but it is publicly accessible in my fork.

jeremycherfas, anyone can update the channel topic, I believe!

But good catch, let me update the URL right now
#
jeremycherfas
Too much responsibility! I never did understand how /next works in any case. I was just wondering whether there is a vHWC tomorrow
#
Zegnat
Not yet planned, I keep dragging my feet and not sending out a planning to people! I would really like to start going regular with vHWC again when I know a timeslot that fits people
#
jeremycherfas
No, that's a good reason to drag feet. It would be good to have a time that suits as many people as possible.
#
Zegnat
But if you have a time you are available at, do invite some people in! The Mumble server is open!

You do not actually need me to organise a get together ;)

@punksandwitch Check out software alternatives like #activitypub protocol powered #mastodon. Check http://indieweb.org . It's more strategic to use a POSSE strategy, to make Twitter into a side system instead of the foundation of comms efforts

A multi-photo is like a photo post, except just with multiple adjacent photos, either in a series, or tiled / arranged in some layout https://indieweb.org/multiphoto

No lie, the IndieWeb is _such_ a great idea. There just isn't enough tooling to make it easy nor is there an "agreed upon" practice to make it something more feasible. ALLL of the things for a blog post.

#
tantek
hmm not sure about the latter assertion
#
tantek
with all the reader stuff working now, it feels like we might at or near sufficient "agreed upon" practices to make it all feasible
#
skippy
there's not quite enough off-the-shelf consumable solutions yet. still too much "box of parts you need to assemble yourself" for casual adoption.
#
tantek
skippy, indeed
#
tantek
Known was getting there ("off-the-shelf consumable solution") but kinda stalled when it went towards an edu focus instead
#
tantek
hoping to see that revitalized soon
#

closest we have for "casual adoption" now is micro.blog

I've got a use case for a private feed btw.

I like Swarm and I like OwnYourSwarm, but I'm hesitant to post a lot because I know they will show up as public posts on my site.
#
sebsel
Swarm itself isn't public either
#
sebsel
So since aaronpk already has access to Swarm, it wouldn't hurt to turn them into a private feed and test private feeds that way.
#
sebsel
Then he can mute me afterwards if he don't want to see them :P
#
sebsel
to Swarm > my Swarm / he follows me
#
aaronpk
would that be something where you'd create the private feed on your site from the ownyourswarm posts?
#
sebsel
Yes, so all OwnYourSwarm checkins would be private.
#
sebsel
Or maybe even all my checkins?
#
sebsel
But that part is up for me to decide, right? I control what makes a post private or public.

But this is a good thing I actually want to use :
