I have all my flights on my site, but I really am starting to want to group them into "trips" more like tripit

I would like fragmentions for indiewebchat. I can link to individual posts but haven’t figured out a way to link to a convo. [karthikPrabu] could fragmentions do that?
#

not on chat as that’s off record but the other channels

what is tripit
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "tripit" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "tripit is ____", a sentence describing the term)

sounds like a collection

yeah, kinda

since I already have support for collections, I might try to do it with that without writing any new code

Does anyone know of any other service that provides a type of venue or place recommendation like Facebook does? (Where someone can ask friends for suggestions of places to check out within a specific geographic area?) My current research for Wiki write up on this type of functionality is focused on Facebook’s UI, plus Venue searches using APIs with Google, Facebook, Foursquare and Mapbox. Any other directions of stuff to research is welcomed.

↩️ Selectively blocking JS is a decent workaround for now, for users who are willing to nerd out ( https://blog.zgp.org/time-saving-tip-for-firefox-57/ ) but the browser needs to be better at blocking/sandboxing crypto-miners, trackers, "growth hacking", other crap.

↩️ Well the 'good old' HTML & CSS were only for displaying things and hence low risk while Javascript could write complex maths and logic and access file systems. Most of the trackers, malware & ad delivery is Javascript. So shutting off JS=far safer browsing https://twitter.com/aral/status/1002498136479236097
(twitter.com/_/status/1002550387398905856)
#
@Stupidosaur
↩️ Another downside of JS is it often comes from 3rd parties so your websites break if those servers are not available. So when making website, it's better not to use Javascript as far as possible. Keep it simple. Speeds up the website, gives general SEO & mobile search advantage.

#
@benwerd
↩️ Is that really realistic in 2018? Perhaps from a pure content perspective (and Google's approach with AMP largely supports that view) - but if you're trying to create a richer experience, JS is part of the toolbox. Perhaps, though, there could be strict timeouts and size limits.

#
@Stupidosaur
↩️ Another downside of JS as web developer (not user) is if u use frameworks like Angular JS or whatever from 3rd parties. Again it depends on availability of those servers. This point may seem like the above point but earlier one was about fancy widgets etc this is about frameworks

#
@benwerd
↩️ Is that a whitelist or blacklist, or something else? Something I'm sure you've considered but I hope is solved for is the ability for new publishers to compete and make money. Entrenching existing known entities at the expense of allowing for new voices would be a mistake.
(twitter.com/_/status/1002553593025556480)
#
@Stupidosaur
↩️ But I think now HTML5 is getting lot of dangerous abilities like Javascript, though I don't know a lot about its cutting edge features. For example file access https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File/Using_files_from_web_applications I suspect lot of typical developers don't know this stuff so we are relatively safe for a while.

#
@Stupidosaur
↩️ Yes I speak mostly from content perspective. If HTML lets u do text,image,audio,video,u can serve a decent website to people without JS. Yes AMP is kinda like that. Can you suggest some rich content stuff where JS is inevitable? I try to do it in CSS. https://twitter.com/benwerd/status/1002551857397395456

↩️ I should declare that I have skin in this game (investor at @mattervc), but I agree that it’s a huge issue with most of these solutions. And it’s a real inclusion issue as well as a business one. Newer pubs are more likely to have more diverse staff. You can’t shut them out.

↩️ I don’t think that’s a given. But there certainly are other models - and ones that allow for a collaborative marketplace of ideas by design. We also work with sponsors for events like Open Matter that bring innovation support to non-venture-scale orgs. https://medium.com/matter-driven-narrative/a-lot-more-experiments-open-matter-e3088db96fb?source=linkShare-3b16402f5b9d-1527863666

@Stupidosaur
↩️ Well if they are newer pubs they can start out the 'good way' with minimal Javascript (whatever they need for ads etc, till ads also stop tracking users and are more location or content based, which can be handled on server side, without Javascript)
(twitter.com/_/status/1002559291717488641)

@jgmac1106
↩️ Venture Capital probably way more at fault for bad adtech than javascript. Do I blame books because some folks write hate speech?
(twitter.com/_/status/1002559339666853889)
#
@dmarti
↩️ The (sort of) good news is that the ad agency crisis, the #brand crisis, the web UX crisis, and the local news crisis are all symptoms of the same set of problems. As we move the web from unpermissioned to trust-based data sharing, many things tend to improve #internetOptimism
(twitter.com/_/status/1002559477017530368)
#
@benwerd
↩️ TBH, I don’t think it’s even VC (which certainly takes some blame) as lazy business thinking. The shortest path to maintaining the vision of an open, accessible web while paying the bills has been ad tech. But other models have always been out there, & are now badly needed.

↩️ It's not just adtech, most drive-by malware during innocent browsing come by JS [HTML5 may change that. Maybe browsers should let us switch specific features of HTML 5 off like JS].
