what is reactji
#

reacji is an emoji reaction, the use of a single emoji character in response to a post, introduced as a feature by Slack[1] https://indieweb.org/reactji

↩️ Something like this is possible even without webmention specific support. Essentially it could be done using microformats2 similar to how Events and RSVPs work over webmention. https://indieweb.org/rsvp (https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/05/09/1/reply/)

What is Twitter poll?

Twitter poll is a new Twitter feature that has been pre-announced https://blog.twitter.com/2015/introducing-twitter-polls that will supposedly support poll posts with only two possible answers, and 24 hours to answer https://indieweb.org/Twitter_poll

Good morning IndieWeb
#
cweiske
hiho. you called me, jeremycherfas ?
#
jeremycherfas
I did! Last night in a mammoth long-distance debug using Omnibear locally, I was wondering about using shpub instead. But when I tried, it just seemed to hang with a > in terminal.
#
jeremycherfas
In any case, we made some progress with Omnibear, so I think I will stick with that, for now.
#
cweiske
if your shell shows ">" on an otherwise empty line, it wants more input
#
cweiske
e.g. because you said
#
cweiske
shpub reply url 'foo
#
cweiske
and forgot to add the closing '
#
cweiske
that shell feature lets you add parameters with newlines
#
cweiske
shpub reply url 'foo

Hi. Something I wanted to ask about... how common is it for indieweb people to host/own their contacts (aka address book)? Instead of using something like Google Contacts (https://contacts.google.com/) or iCloud Contacts, etc.
#
[shurcool]
(I'm starting to read https://indieweb.org/contacts now 😄 )
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
There is a maintenance tax on those
#
[shurcool]
I know that iOS and macOS support syncing contacts via WebDAV or so (I forget the exact API... oh, maybe it was CardDAV)
#
[shurcool]
so if your own contacts host supports that protocol, you can use iOS/macOS pretty seamlessly.
#
[shurcool]
kevin: there's a maintenance burden on doing anything yourself, of course 🙂
#
[shurcool]
but there are benefits too... and it can feel quite cool
#
[shurcool]
did you have some specific downsides in mind?
#
[shurcool]
I know contacts are usually quite closely tied to email, so if say you're using gmail and not keeping your contacts there, it will be pretty annoying having to copy/paste email addresses from your own place
#
[shurcool]
(so it might be hard to stop using google contacts without also dropping gmail)
#
aaronpk
I keep trying to run my own address book but haven't found an easy way that also provides enough benefit yet
#
aaronpk
probably because of the gmail problem like you mentioned
#
[kevinmarks]
I'm partly feeling guilty about how dated my blog rolls are compared to my silo follow lists
#
[shurcool]
yeah
#
[kevinmarks]
And also aware of how hard contact sync is
#
[shurcool]
at least there's a well defined protocol for it (WebDAV/CardDAV)... I'm starting to fear it'll go away if not enough people use it and get replaced by proprietary corp protocols, which would be bad
#
[kevinmarks]
As they have different contexts - you sometimes want recent connections, sometimes a particular mode
#
aaronpk
Also the WebDAV/carddav protocol is a nightmare so every time I think "oh I'll hook it up to sync with my website's contacts" I try and then run away screaming
#
[kevinmarks]
Except CardDAV is crud - it doesn't work well with merging
#
[kevinmarks]
Did I tell you the iPhone/Google contacts story?
#
[shurcool]
I know there are some Go implementations of those protocols too (e.g. https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/webdav, https://godoc.org/github.com/emersion/go-webdav/carddav), but I haven't looked very closely yet.
#
[kevinmarks]
The contacts team at Google implemented CardDAV on top of the internal database
#
[shurcool]
so what you guys are telling me is that... contacts is an indieweb challenge that hasn't been really cracked yet 😉
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk
It's also only an indieweb thing if it relates to your website in some way. Otherwise it's just a indie thing.
#
[kevinmarks]
This was used to connect to iPhone by apple (this was ~11 years ago when they were cooperating more)
#
[kevinmarks]
Except Google contacts has all the emails of anyone you'd ever contacted in, and iPhone users were trying to text people
#
[shurcool]
well, it relates to my identity. and if I had my own contacts, i'd probably have a UI to view/manage it on my personal site (only accessible to me)
#
[kevinmarks]
So a lot of iPhone users cleaned up their address books
#
aaronpk
The thing that will get me to solve it myself is to tie into my website's nicknames cache
#
jacky
I host my contacts via CardDav on Nextcloud
#
[kevinmarks]
And email autocomplete stopped working for them in Gmail, because Google honours the Delete part of CRUD
#
aaronpk
I dont care enough about self hosting my contacts to do it in a way that doesn't connect to my website
#
[shurcool]
kevin: heh, sounds like things were working as intended, but people weren't educated on how to actually make use of the system... so it it was a poor user experience.
#
[kevinmarks]
When twitter suspended me last week I realised how much of my contact model is based on twitter
#
[kevinmarks]
It's also that CRUD is not a good fit for how people use these stores.
#
[shurcool]
it reminds me of that time iOS added Facebook integration (around iOS 4 or so), and it added all the facebook contacts (imagine people with 500 fb friends... all suddenly in their phone's contacts). there were tweets like "there are DOGS on my phone now. I mean literal dogs"
#
[shurcool]
(cuz they had facebook accounts of people's dogs as friends)
#
jacky
that let out a howl (no pun intended) from me
#
[kevinmarks]
I think apple switched to showing people with phone numbers when you make a call, etc.
#
[kevinmarks]
Yes, same issue.
#
[shurcool]
yeah, that makes sense

back to the what the heck are fragmentions, still say annotations or simply quote is correct word, I really want em.
#
tantek
[jgmac1106]: is there value in distinguishing the use-cases from the solution?
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: yes. because there is the whole RDF-based annotations too
#
KartikPrabhu
fragmentions are not primarily used for anontations/marginalia (only a few/two sites do that)
#
tantek
what are they primarily used for?
#
KartikPrabhu
to link to a particular phrase
#
KartikPrabhu
which is very distinct from marginalia/annotation comments
#
tantek
"link to a particular phrase" sounds to me like "cite a particular quote"
#
KartikPrabhu
no, you don't need to cite it in some post of your own
#
KartikPrabhu
"link to a particular quote" maybe
#
KartikPrabhu
just like when you use URLs people would say "linked to a website" not "cited a website"
#
KartikPrabhu
anyway, I'm not attached to what "popular" name is given
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: makes sense
#
tantek
link to a website, link to a page, link to a post, link to a ... paragraph?
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: the current implementation of fragmention.js is paragraph (block element) level yes. But [kevinmarks]' fragmention concept is not
#
[jgmac1106]
@kartikPrahbu but I love seeing how other people mark up a same page I am reading. I know that isn't the exact fragmentions use case we are discussing (I think) but it's nice
#
tantek
concepts are often defined by how they are popularly used
#
KartikPrabhu
[jgmac1106]: I don't know what that has to do with fragmentions
#
[jgmac1106]
What I told my Weebly friends: @jluss It really boils down to adding a bit of mark up to your profile page. There are Weebly examples on here: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-supporting-user-profiles
#
KartikPrabhu
fragmentions has nothing to do with markup on your page
#
[jgmac1106]
@kartikPrabhu call back to conversation yesterday about open annotation and how the standard died off
#
[jgmac1106]
I don't mean my page I mean other people's pages
#
KartikPrabhu
people don't markup other people's pages!
#
[jgmac1106]
not died off, sorry wasn't adopted
#
[jgmac1106]
sorry, its my elementary teacher mixing in with web stuff.
#
[jgmac1106]
We call writing all over books marking up text
#
KartikPrabhu
people can comment on some particular piece i.e. annotations/marginalia using fragmentions
#
[jgmac1106]
then as kids get older we say annotations
#
KartikPrabhu
but that is not what fragmentions are currently used for the most
#
Zegnat
“people don't markup other people's pages” – wouldn’t it be grand if I could just swoop in and add/fixup microformats everywhere?!
#
KartikPrabhu
there are afaik only two indiewebsites using fragmentions for annotations
#
KartikPrabhu
me and joskar
#
[jgmac1106]
I am more worried about how I could use it rather than how they are used
#
[jgmac1106]
like could a proxy be written that would show all the fragmentions on a page from a bunch of different users? I have no idea but that would be neat
#
sknebel
KartikPrabhu: what exactly do you mean when you say "using fragmentions for annotations"? That you display received ones as annotiations? that you create posts meant like that? ...
#
KartikPrabhu
sknebel: display recieved ones as annotations. I also post them
#
sknebel
ok, thx
#
KartikPrabhu
sknebel: I think quite a few people posted fragmentioned-replies to test my marginalia article, but it died out after that

#
Loqi
Hypothes.is is a centralized service and open-source project for annotation and highlights on the web https://indieweb.org/Hypothes.is
#
KartikPrabhu
it is like "disqus for annotations"
snarfed joined the channel
#
tantek
probably should be capitalized
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah fixing
#
[jgmac1106]
yes this is where the conversation started. I keep hypothes.is on all my blogs: http://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/content/all/ nobody uses it, but the overlap annotations fragmentions was where convo got going
#

Back on my way home after yet another amazing time in Düsseldorf at the @IndieWebCamp, @btconf, and @wwnrw. Thank you all so much for all those great conversations – and the friendship. 🤗 Hope to see you all very soon! 👋

KartikPrabhu: re: "died out" - I think we need to figure out the user flow for how fragmentions / marginalia are used / created
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: yes. which is what prompted me to create fragmentioner
#
tantek
and things like fragmentioner make it both easier and more discoverable
#
[jgmac1106]
what is this fragmentioner you speak of
#
tantek
hence why I put it at the top of my "build for IWS 2018" list
#
tantek
[jgmac1106]: fewer words :)
#
tantek
(re-ask your question like you would a 5 year old)
#
tantek
alternatively: aaronpk, teach Loqi to recognize "what is this x you speak of" and treat it as "what is x"
#
KartikPrabhu
another one could be /readers building in fragmentioned replies
#
KartikPrabhu
what is fragmentioner
#
Loqi
fragmentioner is a Javascript utility by Kartik Prabhu which gives a pop-up link with the fragmention URL to a piece of selected text https://indieweb.org/fragmentioner
#
aaronpk
lol no
#
tantek
perhaps with a formal affordance in the reply
#
tantek
"Loqi: Perhaps they are referring to: x"
#
jacky
lol PR time
#
tantek
"Loqi: Fiddlesticks. I am at a loss for what is x. Should you feel inclined to craft a definition, you may do so by entering the following: "x is ..."
#
[jgmac1106]
@kartikPrabhu and a reader with fragmentions is what I was talking about I can subscribe to each perspn hypothes.is feed through rss but if I could pull in all the quotes my students highlighted in a reader it would be neat
#
KartikPrabhu
i don't understand. that sounds like silos on top of silos
#
[jgmac1106]
[tantek] forgot I could ask Loqi was asking you folks
#
tantek
still think it would be a funny easter egg
#
tantek
for Loqi to recognize such formalisms
#
KartikPrabhu
and more work for aaronpk

what is the uncanny valley?
#

It looks like we don't have a page for "uncanny valley" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "uncanny valley is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[kevinmarks]
That wavenet stuff is very impressive

i'm like 99% sure some of Loqi made it into that google stuff

Zegnat
I can’t wait for the day my phone makes all my phone calls for me. I absolutely hate phone calls
#
KartikPrabhu
maybe Loqi can call you on the phone to answer "what is" questions
#
aaronpk
i gave a talk at google about Loqi a year and a half ago, while they were working on a secret new AI project, so...
#
[jgmac1106]
Sebastian's piece still getting much play. I thought Loqi was now sending out a specific tweet to point to more information whenever the feed picks it up
#
[kevinmarks]
Well, exactly. Google engineers think like that, not like the people that their robots will be phoning and distracting from their real jobs

Nice. Let us know if you have any questions or need someone to send you a test webmention.
#
frankmeeuwsen
Well... one of the questions I have, how can I delete a webmention on my site? For instance, the last webmentions on http://diggingthedigital.com/fietsenstalling/ are from a test. I want to delete them but where and how do I do that?

What is webmention.herokuapp.com?
#
Loqi
webmention.herokuapp.com is Pelle Wessman's Webmention endpoint as a service, for both receiving and displaying (via JS embed) webmentions https://indieweb.org/webmention.herokuapp.com
#
[kevinmarks]
You delete the test webmention and resend it. Which is a bit of a tricky thing to do.
#
aaronpk
it depends on where your webmentions are stored
#
aaronpk
you can delete them from webmention.io from the dashboard for instance
#
gRegorLove
Looks like you're using webmention.herokuapp.com. That page ^ might have more on deleting
#
frankmeeuwsen
Well...that's the thing aaronpk. I am not sure. I think they are stored on herokuapp but I have no idea where to look on their service

#
schmarty
oops, i missed the discussion of better names for "fragmentions" but here i am anyway to say "deeper links" ;}
#
KartikPrabhu
schmarty: that sounds complete opaque
#
schmarty
move over deep linking, deeper linking has arrived!
#
frankmeeuwsen
Thanks gRegorLove. Missed this when I first started with webmentions. This was the first service that "just worked" so I sticked with it. But now it looks like it doesn't fully support various features.
#
frankmeeuwsen
Is it possible to switch webmention providers/services without loosing historical data?
#
schmarty
it is mostly a joke suggestion. i would expect folks in online publishing and copyright law to twitch at it, though. :}
#
gRegorLove
frankmeeuwsen: I've never used webmention.herokuapp.com myself, so I'm not sure the state of development. I don't think I've seen the author (voxpelli) around here in a while, but maybe I've just missed them.
#
KartikPrabhu
frankmeeuwsen: same answer as any other service that is not hosted by you. You'd need import/export capability from both
#
schmarty
frankmeeuwsen: you can re-send the mentions once you've configured the new service
#
frankmeeuwsen
schmarty You mean me sending mentions to others, but what about the received mentions?
#
schmarty
being able to switch webmention receiving providers is part of why i wrote /Morris
#
Zegnat
You can actually resend webmentions you received from others “on their behalf”, frankmeeuwsen. A webmention is just a `source` and a `target` link. So you can recreate the ones they have send you by setting source to their URL, and target to yours, and then sending it to your new webmention endpoint
#
schmarty
frankmeeuwsen: a webmention is an HTTP POST to a webmention endpoint with source= and target= parameters. if you can get a list of source and target URLs stored at your current provider, you can feed those same mentions through the new provider
#
Zegnat
checks documentation to see if all mentions can be retrieved from wm.heroku at once

It might also be possible to extract the webmention data from the webmention.herokuapp.com javascript.
#
frankmeeuwsen
Yeah I can export all the mentions from wm.herokuapp
#
frankmeeuwsen

#

i believe dgold has been planning to do this exact process moving from webmention.herokuapp.com to webmention.io

I can offer up a room space if my university funds the entire trip, will know in a day or so if you know folks traveling on their own dime with empty pockets

If there is any group to rally to the cause it's librarians

For ever I kept Facebook locked away from professional circles so I could still be an ass but eventually got sucked in, made great connections and then quit again
#
[kimberlyhirsh]
I was trying to figure out where youth librarians even talk to each other anymore, because the listservs are dead, the division blog post comment sections are dead... I think there must be some corner of Twitter or Tumblr that I'm missing.

Because I'm not seeing great conversations on Fb anymore either.
