#
[chrisaldrich] [cleverdevil] I noticed in the CultofMac story they quote your Indiepaper homepage which says "save it for later by publishing to your micropub server." Did you mean microsub server, or am I missing something?
#
[chrisaldrich] Also unclear, but I hadn't heard that micro.blog has it's own microsub server yet, so I'm suspecting it's using Aperture instead, and that only saves for 7 days, so folks may want to know that it's not saving things long term. Or is it doing this another way?
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] So Indiepaper publishes to a Micropub endpoint. Aperture is a Microsub server, but also has a Micropub endpoint that you can use to publish content into your Microsub channels.
#
[cleverdevil] I request a special “save” scope.
#
[cleverdevil] Micro.blog uses this scope to identify that I’ll be sending content in via Micropub that should be saved for reading later, rather than being published to the users site.
#
GWG Which is an interesting use of a scope
#
[cleverdevil] Indeed 😀

#
petermolnar morning indieweb; I've been thinking about terminology, and I think we're not doing it right: indieweb is not federated, it's distributed.
grdryn joined the channel
#
petermolnar ... sorry, too early in the morning; not simply _decentralized_, it's distributed, and not federated, like most decentralisation attempts
#
tantek__ petermolnar, it has aspects of all three
jjuran joined the channel
#
tantek__ our re-use of DNS makes that aspect *decentralized* (not distributed)
#
petermolnar that's true
#
tantek__ our use of Webmention+microformats for peer to peer responses is *distributed* (again except for the use of DNS)
#
petermolnar that is mostly the aspect I was thinking about, completely forgetting that DNS itself is sort of a requirement
#
petermolnar is anyone running their site from a raw ip address, without a domain?
#
tantek__ kevinmarks, did you try to use silo.rip in that tweet and twitter served the redirect instead?
#
cweiske I doubt that, because it would change whenever you switch servers
pindonga joined the channel
#
tantek__ petermolnar: even IP address routing is decentralized rather than distributed AFAIK
#
[kevinmarks] I didn't think of silo.rip and I was trying to get indieweb there too

sknebel good morning

jeremycherfas If somebody here recently helped me out, you know who you are, please know that I thank you. No need to respond (unless you want to).
#
jeremycherfas Hi sknebel.
#
jeremycherfas Is there a vHWC today?
#
sknebel yes!
#
jeremycherfas I will try.
#
Zegnat How is the daily podcast grind going, jeremycherfas?

jeremycherfas Exhausting, still. Some days better than others.

#
[keithjgrant] Hi Omnibear people! Looking for some feedback on a little reorganization of the UI
#
[keithjgrant] moving post type to the top tabs
#
[keithjgrant] moving reply-to URL below tabs in a dropdown
#
[keithjgrant] I'm adding the Bookmark feature, and I just couldn't find a way to wedge it into the old layout that made sense
#
[keithjgrant] Thoughts?
#
[keithjgrant] I'm also considering consolidating Replies, Likes, and Reacji into a single "quick actions" tab
#
[keithjgrant] oops. I mean Reposts, Likes, and Reacji
#
[keithjgrant] (basically the one-click actions)
#
cweiske "in a dropdown"?
#
cweiske why should a single URL be in a dropdown?
#
[keithjgrant] there are potentially two urls: the current page, and the currently-highlighted h-entry on the page
#
[keithjgrant] I'm also thinking of adding a 3rd: paste whatever URL you want
friedcell joined the channel
#
cweiske I personally use omnibear only to reply/like
barpthewire joined the channel
#
cweiske but that might be because my MP endpoint doesn't support any other post types
#
[keithjgrant] yeah, I feel like this may be sacrificing some of the simplicity of it, and I'm not a fan of that. But wedging in a "Make this a bookmark" checkbox in the current reply pane seemed cluttered
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] Well it's only ever one of the 4 types, so maybe radio buttons / toggles
gigitux joined the channel
#
[keithjgrant] and keep the current three tabs at the top how they are?
#
[grantcodes] Not sure really just an option.
#
[keithjgrant] I think the hard part is I can't decide whether the URL is the top-level selection, or the post type is.
#
[keithjgrant] typically, the URL is just auto-magically selected for you, but it does need to be selectable somehow
#
[keithjgrant] (and it's irrelevant when composing a new note)
#
[grantcodes] Could it not just be a filled text box in that case? Then maybe add a little warning when a user changes the url?
#
@jgmac1106 Built my following page using @chrisaldrich’s IndieWeb tutorial. https://boffosocko.com/2017/11/10/a-following-page/ Now to add in all my feeds, then add the, to Aperture so they show up in my reader. (http://jgregorymcverry.com/6215-2/) (twitter.com/_/status/1032248822095925249)
#
[keithjgrant] hmm. possibly
#
[keithjgrant] maybe some tiny icons to populate it with "current page" or "selected entry"
#
[grantcodes] I think a little "type" selector would work, then if it's a like or repost you hide all the editor fields, if it's a reply or bookmark you show them and with a bookmark you auto fill them
#
[jgmac1106] yeah i think if space is an issue in the tabs use the common icons for each post type with an id on hover for accessibility purposes

@megarush1024 Checking out TWBlue. It doesn’t appear to support reading over 140 chars of tweet. Not so great for client but since I have to open tweets in browser to read, great reminder to interact from my own site and syndicate to Twitter. Thanks for unintentionally promoting #indieweb guys (twitter.com/_/status/1032253604827160578)
#
skippy ahoy hoy
benwerd joined the channel
#
@megarush1024 ↩️ Yeah but by the time I view the tweet, I may as well just grab the URL from the browser and respond from my own site. Thus, unintentional promotion of indieweb. (twitter.com/_/status/1032254507412074497)

Zegnat Tinder is launching yet another Tinder derivative: Tinder U. For college/uni. I need to get on this IndieDating thing.
#
tantek__ I thought Tinder *started* on college/uni
#
Zegnat What is Tinder?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Tinder" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Tinder is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
Zegnat Never mind then :P

Zegnat Ian send the same (thorough) email to all dating platforms he is/was on. I think he has only blogged about the responses from PlentyOfFish and OKCupid.
#
Zegnat That GDPR update I linked is a blog post where he goes through the data received from those two platforms. Question and answers are complete sets. No weird unknowable references.
