#
skippy
semantically, "read" and "watch" imply something different (to me, at least) than "bookmark".
#
chrisaldrich
My semantic differences may be in large part due to the constraints of silos like Twitter which didn't have bookmark functionality, so I used their like/fav functionality as if it were a bookmark.
#
chrisaldrich
I also don't think many (any?) have gone very deep in multi-type posts.
#
skippy
sure; but you could also make a traditional bookmark of a tweet URL in any normal bookmarking solution (browser, pinboard, micropub, whatever)
#
chrisaldrich
I treat most of my /reads as bookmarks simply of "things I've read"; probably less so for watches which I put more in the "status" category

#
chrisaldrich
And I suppose even on Twitter, I wasn't so much bookmarking the Tweet itself as bookmarking the link within the Tweet.

Hellow jgmac1106
#
jgmac1106
Hope your afternoon off to good start
#
Zegnat
Just peachy. Considering a page out of your workbook and just giving a new CMS a try for a limited period of time. Rather than constantly tinkering at building my own and never publishing
#
petermolnar
been there... done that...
#
petermolnar
as in constantly tinkering with the cms instead of creating content
#
petermolnar
it's rather hard to find a good balance there
#
petermolnar
but with a static generator, at least I don't break my site any more when I break the code :)
#
Zegnat
petermolnar, I did the static site generator thing for a bit. But felt like the way I originally built it kept me from writing. (https://grapefruit.zegnat.net/)
#
jgmac1106
[zegnat] [petermolnar] Yeah I couldn’t do it forever but I just make content about my constant tweaking of the CMS and then I can get both
#
petermolnar
Zegnat: I need a "proper" wysiwyg editor to write content; I ended up using Typora despite my repulsion towards Electron apps
#
jgmac1106
I will probably end the journey back where I began WordPress and Known, but we will see how Drupal goes this two weeks. What I land on will be something from someone like you two and its not built yet
#
Zegnat
I don’t feel like I need WYSIWYG. Actually, most of the time I don’t. I was working on a little thing that accepted Markdown, and then process the HTML output to dynamically add microformats. But again, while I am working on that, I am not actually publishing :(
#
jgmac1106
I stick away from WYSIWYG as well and usually use a text editor
#
petermolnar
I prefer to see some formatting that will be similar to the end result
#
Zegnat
(One small thing that keeps me away from Markdown is that I really like footnotes, and Markdown implementations really disagree on how those should work.)
#
petermolnar
I remember a CMS from back in the days which introduced a frontend editor, I can't remember which one
#
petermolnar
Zegnat: give Typora a try
#
Zegnat
Doesn’t Perch do something like that too? Where you work with the site, on the site, so you kinda see what it will be like?
#
Zegnat
What is Perch?
#
Loqi
Perch and Perch Runway are a content management systems based on PHP+MySQL https://indieweb.org/Perch
#
petermolnar
hah! Concrete5
#
petermolnar
that was it
#
petermolnar
Concrete5 - being Medium before it was cool
#
jgmac1106
When I was teaching myself how to mess up the basics of CSS Grid I loved playing with Glitch. Having the live preview on the web is so important to folks just learnign who probably don’t want to touch a command line or try and set up a local dev environment
#
Zegnat
What is Typora?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Typora" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Typora is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jgmac1106
Medium would be so much cooler if Ev Williams would have just said, ‘I want to build a better blogspot” instead of their constant forks
#
petermolnar
Medium would be so much cooler as reinitiation of Tecnorati instead of yet another silo ;)
#
jgmac1106
more pivots than a basketball game
#
Zegnat
“* Only free during beta.” - bit scary, petermolnar ;) But I’ll give them a go
#
petermolnar
I'm aware of that sentence, yes, but the software is actually quite nice and I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable, one time fee
#
petermolnar
subscription though, no, not a chance
#
jgmac1106
thank you I hat the rise of subscription software. I get. I love MRR as much as the next guy but....
#
Zegnat
So, does Typora use their own flavour of Markdown again? Or is it pure PanDoc?
#
Zegnat
This is one of my biggest problems with Markdown: the flavours. I can end up with an editor that does footnotes, and still be unable to have my CMS parse those footnotes :(
#
petermolnar
it's more or less github markdown, plus math
#
petermolnar
we should bring this to -dev
#
Loqi
I agree
#
petermolnar
jgmac1106: are you in the indieweb-meta channel? I have some thoughts on your princinples post

good afternoon IndieWeb! last minute seaside pop-up HWC in Capo d'Orlando, Sicily, is up!
#
petermolnar
I prefer the Dallas drinking game: when they drink, you drink

The TV show? There is a throwback reference.
#
[kevinmarks]
they revived it recently

Didn't realize it. I grew up outside of Dallas. That show was quite influential.

Have quietly decided that the IndieWeb-aware version of Plerd is gonna be 2.0. While it’ll work much the same as 1.X, it’s in a philosophically different place now. Still months away, but Fogknife is dogfooding it, and the branch I’m using is on GitHub if you can find it 👻.

What are maps?

Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "maps" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "maps is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
Zegnat
Maps are representations of the real world. There are many services that can be used to put a map on your site, like [[OpenStreetMap]] and [[Google Maps]].
#
Loqi
ok, I added "https://sebastiangreger.net/2018/05/self-hosting-maps-control-privacy-ux/" to a new "See Also" section of /static_maps https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=48088&oldid=21112

what is map?
#
Loqi
The social web map is a metaphoric map of social web sites, from fully indieweb to silos, representing their relationships, sizes, levels of IndieMark accomplishment (or site-death) and any other axes of interesting details we can capture https://indieweb.org/map

Argh. and lower case maps apparently linked to static_maps?!
