[fluffy] [schmarty] I just tried signing into the webring and it gave me an error, “The authorization server returned an invalid state parameter”
#
[fluffy] I’m using selfauth
#
[fluffy] if that makes any difference

Zegnat What is webring?
#
Loqi A webring is a collection of websites linked together in a circular structure https://indieweb.org/webring
#
Zegnat fluffy, that is weird, I am able to login and I am also using selfauth (... use what you make and all that)

[kenbauer] I am looking at modifying my WordPress install (currently my old site since I am using Known now) to use the WP child theme from chrisaldrich Hopefully I will document anything I run into. https://github.com/chrisaldrich/2016-child-theme-for-indieweb

#
[schmarty] fluffy: just saw your note about the webring. i think i have the webring keeping track of the state parameter in a cookie, so it can fail if cookies are blocked. that's all that comes to mind at the moment! happy to help debug if we can sync up.

#
aaronpk [rose] you asked the other day about marking everything in a channel read in monocle right? I'm thinking about adding a right click option to the little unread indicator number which would drop down a menu that can mark all as read.
#
aaronpk tho on mobile i guess i would do long-press? or maybe just tapping it at all would open that menu? thoughts?
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose] Tapping for a menu would work

#
chrisaldrich [kenbauer], GWG's repo gets more involved because it takes out Post Formats in preference of Post Kinds and assumes you're using the Post Kinds Plugin.
#
chrisaldrich Though I do think that his repo is great in that you can relatively easily follow the trail of his commits as a template for modifying other themes if you wish: https://github.com/dshanske/iw26/commits/master

#
aaronpk [Rose]: would you expect on desktop that clicking would open the menu? Or should I try to make it work differently on touch devices?
#
aaronpk I'm kinda thinking treating touch devices differently makes sense, since I think I'd be surprised if it opened a menu on desktop?
Mikaela-, electronicmaji and [kenbauer] joined the channel
#
[kenbauer] thanks chrisaldrich!
#
chrisaldrich [kenbauer] one of the things that's missing from that little child theme of mine is that it doesn't fix some of the microformats problems that David's does. (Though it also does reasonably well without those fixes....)
[schmarty] and snarfed joined the channel
#
[Rose] Yes that makes sense [aaronpk]

Jeremycherfas Hello IndieWeb Backlog bankruptcy declared.
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] congrats jeremycherfas
#
Jeremycherfas I regard it as an admission of failure, but I can live with that.

jacky morning Indieweb
#
Zegnat aaronpk: a marking things as read option I like is the one Feedbin does: lets me “mark everything above as read”. I could click it on the last item and mark everything as read, but I can also click something in the middle after scrolling through a number of titles and mark all of those as read.
#
Zegnat Might be a design to think about
#
Zegnat Jeremycherfas, no failure at all
#
Jeremycherfas Thanks zegnat. I'm, chanelling early Bob Dylan
#
jacky I read that as "early Bob Ross" lol
#
Zegnat brb: chanelling Bob Ross!

@victorczhou "Starting on 4/24, our Basic plan will include a single ad above the comments for all publishers." This makes me even happier I switched off of Disqus... great timing https://victorzhou.com/blog/replacing-disqus/ #disqus https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D30OVMPX4AAPOCi.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1116064284214222849)

jacky looks like disqus is going all-in "screw" user privacy

#
[cleverdevil] Anyone know if there is something like Slideshare, but self-hosted?
#
[cleverdevil] An embeddable dingus that I can let users page through PDF versions of slides?
#
[cleverdevil] (Yes, I know, HTML would be better, but PowerPoint is king)
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] Can you not just put a PDF in an iframe?
#
[grantcodes] Think most desktop browsers at least can preview pdfs
#
[cleverdevil] Yeah, I considered that.
#
[cleverdevil] But, I thought it'd be nicer to have something a bit more bespoke, that could potentially be extended with things like externalized notes on a per-slide basis.
#
[cleverdevil] I may end up creating something like this... PDF.JS is a thing, and is pretty awesome.
#
[cleverdevil] (Thanks Mozilla!)

#
chrisaldrich I remember kevinmarks jokingly mentioning about selling a per-minute call service for his experience. I'm not sure if anyone has built it into their site, but I just ran across the silo equivalent: https://clarity.fm/

#
chrisaldrich What is AMA?
#
Loqi Ask Me Anything or AMA is a public facing page which allows people to ask questions online they'd like the originator to answer https://indieweb.org/AMA
#
[jgmac1106] why not pdf.js>
#
[cleverdevil] A plugin for Known that lets me upload a PDF of my slides, then enter slide-by-slide HTML notes, with a nice UI for users to read the deck and the notes as they page through the slides would be pretty neat.
#
chrisaldrich AMA << https://clarity.fm/ as paid service [[silo]] example
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://clarity.fm/ as paid service [[silo]] example" to the "See Also" section of /ask_me_anything https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=59150&oldid=57911

#
[cleverdevil] pdf.js is just a component for rendering the PDF in the browser, but its not really a self-hosted Slideshare-like thing.
#
[jgmac1106] ohh so you want people to interact with content rather than just uploading the pdf of the ppt?
#
[cleverdevil] Yup.
#
[jgmac1106] for now best i could do in 30 seconds is rely on hypothes.is: https://via.hypothes.is./https://jgregorymcverry.com/talks/socialweb.pdf
#
[jgmac1106] wonder if you could same with fragmention plugins
#
[jgmac1106] https://via.hypothes.is/https://jgregorymcverry.com/talks/socialweb.pdf
#
chrisaldrich Slideshare << PDF
#
Loqi ok, I added "[[PDF]]" to the "See Also" section of /SlideShare https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=59151&oldid=28876
#
[jgmac1106] [cleverdevil] these APIs look interesting: http://www.authorstream.com/api/documentation/ would have to read the ToS
