# 
[cleverdevil] So far so good on Fathom. The UI is nice and quick, it was easy to install, and works well.
# [cleverdevil] The only thing I didn't like is that it really wants to be installed on a subdomain.
[eddie] joined the channel
# [cleverdevil] No idea. I tried configuring it on a path using Apache ProxyPassMatch and made good headway, but eventually ran into a wall.
# [cleverdevil] Was trying to avoid having to register another subdomain and SSL certificate.
# [cleverdevil] But, whatever, its pretty easy these days with LetsEncrypt / certbot.
# [cleverdevil] \o/
# [cleverdevil] Yeah, I am using Apache and once I switched gears it took about that. Really quickl
# [cleverdevil] Biggest advantage of Go projects is the ability to just download a single binary to install.
# [cleverdevil] I've always wished I could do that with my language of choice 🙂
# [cleverdevil] Hmm... if you could somehow reverse engineer the tracking JavaScript dingus, you could likely make it happen on the backend where your feeds are generated.
# [cleverdevil] That would be nice to have.
# [cleverdevil] LMK if you figure that out. I'll add it to my site too 🙂

[chrisaldrich] [dave] I think I could be in for vHWC on Wednesday. Maybe GWG, gRegorLove, [scottgruber], [asuh], [dougbeal], and others might join us as well: https://indieweb.org/events/2018-11-14-homebrew-website-club#Virtual_Americas
# 
gRegorLove Oh, yeah. I didn't see one was coming up. I should be available.
# gRegorLove Is there a reason that's at 7:30 instead of 6:30? I don't mind, but it might be easier for people in Central/Eastern time
# [chrisaldrich] gRegorLove, I think Millar is in TX, so maybe splitting the difference?
# gRegorLove Yeah, I'm suggesting 6:30 Pacific, so 8:30 Central

# [cleverdevil] What is feedstagram?
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "feedstagram" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "feedstagram is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [cleverdevil] feedstagram is a simple tool to generate an h-feed from your Instagram account - https://github.com/cleverdevil/feedstagram
# [cleverdevil] (Its not pretty, documented particularly well, or all that feature-filled, but it works for me).

# [zoellner] Hey, just joined recently. Came here after reading about IndieAuth etc.
# [zoellner] I’m wondering if anyone knows about any projects using email as part of the OAuth2 flow. I.e. an actual email being sent (with a code for example)

# [zoellner] thanks. Just tested it with an email as the rel me link. any thoughts on using email as identifier as well?

[eddie] [cleverdevil] Yay! This (super short) post was done using the Media Endpoint Shortcut I made and the Drafts Action you made. I was able to compose everything from Drafts since it has a "Run shortcut" action that returned the link to the image automatically: https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/11/13/19/article/
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
# [cleverdevil] Yay! Nicely done eddie.
# [cleverdevil] I use it all the time, though the Media Endpoint Drafts action doesn't work for me with Known.
# [cleverdevil] Haven't had a chance to troubleshoot 🙂

snarfed joined the channel
# [cleverdevil] Ah, that's almost certainly it.
# [cleverdevil] Can Drafts instead pull the URL from the redirect?

# gRegorLove What is PushAPI?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "PushAPI" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "PushAPI is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 
sebsel PushAPI is a browser API, that works with the [[ServiceWorker]] to deliver messages to a browser, for example to show notifications.
# Loqi ok, I added "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API" to a brand new "See Also" section of /PushAPI https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=53849&oldid=53847
# sknebel the spec has one too :D https://www.w3.org/TR/push-api/
# gRegorLove hehe
# gRegorLove own your content, own your spaces
# gRegorLove and own your capitalization, in my case
# gRegorLove er, OwnYourSpaces?
# 
[kevinmarks] Could you put zero width spaces in? Or soft hyphens?

[kiai] Curious for thoughts: Is it worth building a demo site in html instead of completing a wireframe with Adobe XD and InVision if the functions are simple (button clicks to new pages)? Or is there another wireframe solution that enables easy content changes, like InDesign, but updated. Had a volunteer create wireframe pages, but they look incomplete and two weeks are gone. I suppose it was a good lesson. Wondering if XD is a waste of time.
# slvr if it's a single page, sure it's worth it.
# slvr I had a problem like that and wrote a shell script that kicks the pages out from a template. :)
# slvr 3 files, header, content, footer. Only the content was unique per page.
# slvr The script just takes each content file, slaps it between the header and footer, and dumps it to a new file.
# slvr I can rattle it off here if that is useful.
# slvr sure thing,
# slvr well, best of luck!
