#aaronpkHm the micro.blog subdomain should work fine on indiewebring

#[manton][miklb] As [dougbeal] said, Micro.blog has an iOS share extension for posting photos (to WordPress or Micropub).
#[manton]@billbennettnz I've tested Micro.blog subdomains (and custom domains) with IndieWeb Ring and it works automatically if you're using Micro.blog hosting. If you're hosting somewhere else, you can also use it with the appropriate rel tags described here: http://help.micro.blog/2017/web-site-verification/
#@jgmac1106Thanks for all the feedback on #IndieWeb WordPress. Like I said a few weeks ago we are collecting user stories as part of of a UX research project and i would love to capture your experience. Let me know.
Sounds like you want a turn key approach ... https://is.gd/koVJcc (twitter.com/_/status/1014826236353351681)

#jgmac1106!tell wiobryne I made a simple to-do page, isn’t private but isn’t publicized either: https://jgregorymcverry.com/to-do-list/ Will just use strikethrough as method to track what gets finished.
#[jgmac1106]so GitLab moves to Google Cloud...because...marketing...can't be the exodus from microsoft and be hosted on Azure
#sknebel[jgmac1106]: they announced their plans to move to google cloud months before the github aquisition, so how exactly can they have done it for marketing reasons?
#sknebel(at that point, Google was probably still in talks to buy Github)
#skippypeople should be running their own GitLab instances. or use BitBucket, if you want to get away from GitHub.
#jgmac1106did they did not know. I just always got a chuckle at everyone leaving GitHub for GitLab. Atleast GitLab is open that they too will be looking for an exit event
#skippybut getting away from GitHub because Microsoft seems pretty reactionary. MS is not the same company today they were 10 years ago.
#skippyand hey, if you want the service GitHub provides, and you rely on it, maybe become a paying customer!

#[jgmac1106]Windows still prints money but especially since the IoT backbone and other open projects been change since new CEO
#[jgmac1106]Part of the reason I think we should be doing some outreach with WP #IndieWeb. MSFT has the full learning stack now, GitHub, Lynda, LinkedIn
#[jgmac1106]From where you go to learn about a project, store a project, host a project, brag about a project
#skippyrisking a monoculture there with one entity driving so many different things.
#skippyspeaking of: i wondered idly recently what video hosting solutions exist beyond YouTube? YT has that market locked up tight. How do indieweb folks host videos?
#[jgmac1106]But yeah my #IndieWeb videos just throwing up on my AWS account.
#Zegnatpeertube is interesting, but I wonder how hard that would be to monetise for content creators

#sknebelZegnat: that's basically always a point as soon as you leave Youtube. and even there, I see more and more people rely on ads baked into their videos, patreon, ... vs youtube's ads
#[jgmac1106]@skippy I also have no illusions that MSFT is more open because they are no longer the focal point of a monoculture.
#ZegnatYep. That’s a good development, I feel, as it means the creators can actually step away from YT if they must.
hadvanx7 joined the channel
#[jgmac1106]The majority of youtubers do not make their money from the ads, the CRM is garbage for most
#ZegnatThough I also see a lot of Patreon videos that are still hosted by YouTube. So diversivied income, but still rely on a single platform for actual video serving
#[jgmac1106]Most money affiliate, Patreon, and sponsorships. Even for the top folks Ad revenue not highest income source

#[wiobyrne]Thanks for the guidance about video content. I killed my hosting earlier for video (and audio) content for my podcast and tutorial. I'm most likely moving audio to Internet Archive from Soundcloud. Video is still all locked up in YouTube. But, I'd like a way to archive and not be siloed in.

#@jgmac1106These are great open source and DIY solutions. I think a little bit of what you are missing is ethos.

#@wiobyrne↩️ Also, if this post is the best example of @hypothes_is annotations baked into WordPress site, I'd like to see some #IndieWeb connections so the great discussion with @heatherstaines is pulled into the comments/mentions on the post. This would be just like tweets or other comments (twitter.com/_/status/1014894417902174208)

#skippyis there a way in Monocle to get a consolidated stream of all of my channels? Or do I have to go channel-by-channel to read new items?
#skippyMonocle is great. Aperture is great. Thanks for making them available.
#skippyif I donate to you via Square, how much of my donation do you lose due to processing fees?
[manton] joined the channel
#aaronpki'm in the camp of believing that the single-stream model that twitter and facebook brought us is partially responsible for the information overload and subsequent "need" for "algorithmic timelines". much better to focus on a better following list and choosing what to read when.
#aaronpkI really enjoy that I can click "like" from monocle and that video ends up archived on my website
marclaporte joined the channel
#skippyi dont "like" anything; but being able to obtain media from things in that way sounds super handy.
#jmacI can't remember... has the community reached out to the Mastodon guy to add MF2 metadata to toots and such? (He is on record of demurring webmention support in specific, IIRC?)
#aaronpki'm following a few ppl on mastodon that way. I just added their profile URLs to my reader
[eddie] joined the channel
#aaronpkI even can get comments from mastodon people thanks to that mf2. ironically the way that works is I turn their "Inbox" notification into a webmention and process it like normal.
#jmacWell (a) I didn't know that and that's great, and (b) dangit my own parser seems to be coming up a little short here. (and (c) hooray more real-world test cases for me I guess)
#skippyit would be awesome if Monocle had the inverse of what to suppress for a channel. That is, I could have one channel that suppresses reposts so that i see only original content from those people; and another channel with **only** reposts, for those people who are prolific reposters :)
#aaronpkhah I had not considered the "only repost" case. it supports only: photos, articles, checkins
#dgoldaaronpk: hang about - you can get comments from mastodon onto your site?
#skippyi follow William Gibson in twitter because i like his books. he has the occassional original tweet; but retweets 100s of things every day, drowning out almost all other people i follow
#aaronpkdgold: yea! over the weekend I did a little experiment of implementing as little of ActivityPub as possible to get that working
#[eddie]That said, I can see a world in which people might not want Microsub but do want a simple menubar Micropub app or something. Not that [cleverdevil] wants to take that project on, but my goal is to hopefully before too long roll out IndieAuth and Micropub swift libraries from the Indigenous app so that other people can experiment with different types of apps within the Apple ecosystem
#[cleverdevil]And, no, I don't think I want to take that project on. At least, not at the moment 🙂
#Loqi[Aaron Parecki] @DropshareForMac I'm loving Dropshare! Could you add https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ support so I can easily upload to my website? Basically a file upload in a form with an access token.
#[manton][cleverdevil] Great work on Indiepaper and the extension. This is really cool. Also, I smiled at your reference to IndieWeb Summit being "a few weeks ago". It does feel that way, but it was actually last week. 🙂
#[manton]It's a great idea. I've been wondering how I could use this too.
#[manton]Someone could create a new blog and target it with Indiepaper, but that's really overkill.
#[cleverdevil]Yup, I am thinking isolating it entirely to a feed would help.
#[cleverdevil]Then people could use whatever reader they want.
#[cleverdevil]Though, having an embedded reader in the Micro.blog clients would be smart.
#[manton]One question... Long term, do you intend to keep hosting indiepaper.cleverdevil.io or think that more people will host their own version? Looks like indiepaper.org is available too. 🙂
#[manton]And yeah, I could do something like give everyone a /micropub/indiepaper endpoint that just creates a read later feed for them.
[jgarber] joined the channel
#[jgarber]I _just so happen_ to own indiepaper.cc and indiepaper.app.
#[cleverdevil]Not a bad idea to move it to its own domain.
#[jgarber]…and since cleverdevil has gone and bested me, I’d be willing to transfer those domains if they’d be of use.
#[cleverdevil]I haven't done much in the way of branding/design on this stuff yet....
#[cleverdevil]Its gonna take a little bit to get everything moved over.
#[cleverdevil]I will likely also update the website for Indiepaper to make it a bit more approachable as well.
#[manton][cleverdevil] I should just read the source, but is there anything special Indiepaper needs from the Micropub endpoint? I assume it sends MF2 JSON with a title and HTML content?
