Good morning!

@felixplesoianu
I want to like the #IndieWeb movement, but just like the #ActivityPub crowd, they're obsessed with the push model. It rubs me the wrong way.

[nealthom]
I have a boring Wordpress site. I have been thinking about creating another with react and node and brainstorming ideas similar to indieweb without realizing it was a thing and I just stumbled on it this morning.
#
Zegnat
That happens a lot :) If you want, dump your brainstorms on the wiki. Still lots of things that need thinking about
#
[nealthom]
Cool. I will dig more into it later. It is my bed time :)
#
@kevinmarks
↩️ Which push model is this? Indieweb has multiple ways to work, but includes a couple of webhook interactions (websub and webmention) designed to save on polling.

Quick question - anyone using alltogethernow or another indieweb reader here? I'd be curious to know how you manage to follow your favorite silos through that (eg. twitter, mastodon etc)?
grdryn and ard4 joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
[AkyRhO] I am using Indigenous (Android) Mastodon accounts have an h-feed you should be able to follow those
#
[jgmac1106]
morning @sknebel
#
vilhalmer
morning
#
AkyRhO
I tried the iOS version of this, but it seems I can't add new channels straight from the app, right?
#
[jgmac1106]
no you add channels in aperture and they show up in your reader
#
[jgmac1106]
I think..I don't use alltogether
#
AkyRhO
is there an mobile app for aperture?
#
AkyRhO
or do I have to be on my laptop to add new feeds?
#
[jgmac1106]
its a website it will work omn mobil browsers
#
[jgmac1106]
https://aperture.p3k.io/ it is just in beta, your feeds only save for one week
#
[jgmac1106]
I am actually going now and adding all my feeds from https://jgregmcverry.com/following
#
Zegnat
… I feek like I am missing part of the conversation there
#
Zegnat
Is the Slack bridge failing me?
#
Zegnat
Good morning sknebel, vilhalmer :)
#
Zegnat
Yep. Slack bridge failing
#
Zegnat
AkyRhO’s messages aren’t making it to IRC. But I can see them in the logs.
#
sknebel
AkyRhO: can you leave and rejoin the channel?
#
sknebel
+v got dropped for a bunch of people, and Loqi doesn't restore it...
#
Zegnat
Oh, is that it.
#
sknebel
mutters something about IRC op rights...

#
AkyRhO
Zegnat, i'm back :)
#
Zegnat
Yeay! :)
#
AkyRhO
Do you hear me now? ;)
#
Zegnat
Sorry about that. But because of the spam waves Freenode has been having only people with voice (+v, often a + sign in IRC clients) can speak to others in the channel.
#
AkyRhO
sure
#
AkyRhO
no worries
#
AkyRhO
it's been a long time since I used IRC
#
AkyRhO
I forgot about that +v thing
#
AkyRhO
[jgmac1106], really like your WP template, is it a custom one?
#
[jgmac1106]
no, I am currently using @gwg's 2016 fork
#
[jgmac1106]
I added a page builder (I know slap my hand) to get it to look the way I want
#
[jgmac1106]
zenpress, sempress, or 2016-fork are recommended...only zenpress and sempress hooked into wp.org 2016.org you have to manually update from GitHub when @gwg changes it
#
[jgmac1106]
Independent Press, has some broken features and no on really working on it
#
[jgmac1106]
though it isn't native...meaning the microformats2 aren't in your html, you can now pretty much us the mf2 stream plugin, with any WordPress theme,....it;s kid of a cheat for now
#
[jgmac1106]
just don't have the mf2 stream the microformats plugin installed, and don't use either if you are using an IndieWeb approved theme
#
AkyRhO
well, as long as it works :)
#
[jgmac1106]
....that is a deep philosophical question
#
[jgmac1106]
[nealthom] when using Slack don't use the threads, people in IRC don't see them, so @zegnat doesn't know you replied
#
Zegnat
Did I miss something again?
#
Loqi
misses something again too
#
[jgmac1106]
no, this happens with new Slack users, they need to be trined not to use threads
#
Zegnat
I was just gonna say, I think I had seen all the replies they gave me. Slack threads are flattened but still bridged, IIRC

does anyone know how i can add custom kinds with wordpress Post Kinds? I only have articles, reply and note, i'd like to add bookmarks as well
#
sknebel
in the settings for the plugin you can enable various ones it ships with
#
AkyRhO
oh sorry
#
AkyRhO
i was looking in the "settings" not in the "indieweb" menu -_-
#
GWG
It only goes under settings if the Indieweb plugin isn't installed
Wolfspirit_ joined the channel
#
AkyRhO
now is there a lising page available? like mysite.tld/kind/bookmark? (tried this one, 404)
#
GWG
There should be one if you have any
#
GWG
If it still isn't coming, you can go to settings->permalinks and save the page to refresh
#
AkyRhO
Nice! it worked
#
AkyRhO
thanks
#
[jgmac1106]

!tell AkyRhO for following twitter feeds with microsub granary is great. You have to jump through a couple of hurdles but it generates great mf2 feeds. (They look great in Together at least :P)

I ended up just using granary with a url like this to follow twitter lists:
todrobbins and hs0ucy joined the channel
#
swentel
ah, interesting
#
swentel
sounds better than atom feed at least
#
swentel
access token is from an app you created in twitter itself I presume ?
#
[grantcodes]
Don't think so. You can start at granary.io and login to your twitter and it will fill those in for you
#
swentel
oh right
#
swentel
you can do a connection there
#
swentel
right, much better!
#
swentel
been wanting to kill my twitter client
#
swentel
almost have everything I need in the indigenous client :)
#
[grantcodes]
Oh yeah, I've not used mine in months
#
[grantcodes]
Just need your site to syndicate to twitter and then you're good
#
swentel
yeah, that's ok already

Does anyone know a way to count words of highlighted text through the console of Chrome DevTools?
aalmazan joined the channel
#
[grantcodes]
Yeah swentel, to get full twitter parity it's good to render refs of like-of, repost-of, in-reply-to and quotation-of
#
[grantcodes]
Together does that now, so never feel I'm missing anything from twitter apart from threads

↩️ If you are into IRC (bridged with Slack) there are many helpful people in the #indieweb Wordpress channel. Manual is fine for sending but the plugins make it a lot more effective to receive.
