aaronpk: [eddie] left you a message 8 hours, 21 minutes ago: Swarm added “saved places”, would be a nice upgrade to OwnYourSwarm! 😁

huh I haven't seen that feature yet

aaronpk: I had to delay the pixelfed federation release due to HTTP Signature bugs, I think i will use this https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus/blob/master/app/ActivityPub/HTTPSignature.php. Thanks!
#
Zegnat
I feel like I had many very productive IndieWeb discussions yesterday, and now I want all IWCs to be ~5 days long.
#
dansup
I am considering webmentions for https://pixelfed.social
cweiske and [Rose] joined the channel
#
Zegnat
Webmentions would be nice!
#
Zegnat
dansup can you tag people in photos on pixelfed? Tagging someone who isn't s pixelfed user but does have a URL is already a great use case for webmentions
#
dansup
yes, it works via webfinger so @zegnat@example.org would try to discover the ActivityPub actor, or webmention endpoint
#
jacky
dansup: you've been working hard at it - pretty great to see it all come together!
#
dansup
jacky: thanks! I can't wait to release federation support and the new features!

as suggested by jgmac1106 a few days ago, i'm playing with FrancisCMS
swentel joined the channel
#

if anyone already migrated a wordpress blog to FrancisCMS i'd be happy to have a chat
#
Zegnat
What is FrancisCMS?
#
Loqi
FrancisCMS is an IndieWeb-friendly content management system built with Ruby on Rails https://indieweb.org/FrancisCMS

@aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus is nice - just btw : made JSON Schemas for ActivityPub : https://github.com/redaktor/ActivityPubSchema - e.g. my thing uses them to create forms as well as to validate input.
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] Nautilus: Turn your website into an ActivityPub profile
#
aaronpk
dansup: please do steal that code! That's why I published it!
#
aaronpk
It'd be great to see tagging people by url too not just email address
#
jacky
sl007: nice!

[jgmac1106] I did, I'm just looking for hints before I start migrating a whole wordpress blog into FrancisCMS

[jgmac1106]
answering in dev but from what I remember reading up on you first have to convert the data into some other format and then import

[aaronpk] any recommendations on hosting a Nautilus instance? I use shared hosting from HostGator for the bulk of my projects but I feel like there’s a gap in my knowledge when it comes to setting up and deploying modernish things like this.
#
skippy
the /note wiki page has lots of self-reported examples of people displaying their notes. Curious if anyone has a unique or clever display of notes not captured on the wiki?
#
dougbeal|mb1
Good morning IndieWeb
#
[jgmac1106]
@skippy the markup is pretty standardized. Do you mean just on display for personal sites? I combine a bunch of post types into my "Stream*
swentel, [pfefferle], jgmac1106 and [grantcodes] joined the channel
#
skippy
jgmac1106: yes, display. I have my posts separate from my notes.
#
skippy
just curious how others do.
#
jgmac1106
I like cards, even though many are shaking their heads: http://jgregorymcverry.com/stream/
#
jgmac1106
but I combine: notes, replies, likes, and quotes into one stream
#
skippy
i havent been writing as many articles, so a stream would push all those to the bottom, as notes crowd up the top
#
jgmac1106
yeah I seperate articles to a different feed
#
jgmac1106
I also publish cards for my recent articles on my homepage
#
skippy
aye. thanks.
#
skippy
gotta run.

Agreed

swentel: dansup: we should try https://fed.brid.gy/ with pixelfed!
#
swentel
snarfed, .social ?
#
snarfed
oh, any instance
#
swentel
oh right
#
swentel
it's federated haha
#
swentel
I guess it might be interesting to figure out how they do post discovery
[eddie] joined the channel
#
swentel
which might influence the decision whether we're going to go for atom feeds or not, or really start doing AP posts ?
wolftune joined the channel
#
snarfed
heh, yes
#
snarfed
i guess we should maybe just bite the bullet and aim toward full AP
#
swentel
it would probably make more sense in terms for documentation
#
swentel
otherwise we'd have to document things like : "if you're replying, use a webmention to bridgy", "all other things should use a hub and you need to ping your hub"
#
snarfed
right. not ideal
#
swentel
I think getting accept in seems logical now, then your mastodon user should follow since it's on another instance
#
swentel
and then I can experiment what minimal we need to make sure posts show up for my and your mastodon user
#
swentel
from my bridgy account
#
snarfed
agreed
[manton] joined the channel
#
swentel
as for user discovery issue, I think the documentation only needed there should be something like "Interact with mastodon once, and you'll be discovered at some point" That's all there really is (should be #dev talk I guess)
#
swentel
if there's no account mastodon will create one, and sync with other instance (seen that code too many times now haha)

[dave] good question, i've only really deployed that kind of stuff on a full server, not in shared hosting yet
#
aaronpk
I do want to see if I can get my blog platform able to be installed on something like dreamhost, but i'm a ways out from actually going down that road

[cleverdevil] Fab, thanks. I just need to get micropub working. ☹ Currently I'm using a post html action from Drafts to WordPress - although that only seems to work from my phone, from my iPad it includes all the html, and doesn't convert it. Logical, huh!
