#cambridgeport90[I was looking at the conversation from last night regarding discovery. I’m sorry I wasn’t more involved. I think we do have a couple of people who put out directories, though.

#GWG_Directories suggest curation that many won't do

#[grantcodes]Yep, there are also already multiple that exist. The tech / idea isn't the problem, it's getting people on it and or management / curation if necessary.

#[grantcodes]I still think a specialized microsub "client "is the way to go. It wouldn't be a reader per se, but whoever signs up could allow their content to analyzed in some way. The base part of that is not so difficult, but I wouldn't know how to start analyzing what is popular & what to recommend etc. etc. Also privacy would be a thing...

#[jgmac1106]you make it opt in, you log in for first time, decide what post types to share. discovery works on first and second degree, friends and then friends of friends, based on number of likes, replies, and mentions

#[grantcodes]Easier said than done. At least with my own knowledge!
#[jgmac1106]ohh yes ideas are easy implementation hard
#[grantcodes]But I think that is the way to go for sure!
#[jgmac1106]I will work it into the next grant application to get denied
#[grantcodes]I think I might apply to that web monetization one when it comes out too. It's actually kind of interesting in a reader as that is a valid reason why some people / companies don't like rss or other readers. No direct views = no ads = no money. But maybe the monetization api can help solve that
#[jgmac1106]well if someone or something is indexing you know how stuff spreads I Guess. I liked when software just cost one price, even if annual

#[tantek][jgmac1106] consider adding your ideas on discovery to /discovery#Brainstorming *before* you work them into grant applications, so you can get help from the community with iterating / revising them

#[jgmac1106]I don't know the tech, any of my ideas don't even make the threshold of vaporware, but will jot them down

#[tantek][jgmac1106] others have no idea where to start, or what to implement, but may be able to implement an idea they read about

#aaronpknow that my posts I makewhile on a plane link to the flight post on my website, I wonder if I should send webmentions to the flight post so they all appear on the flight
[Rose], krychu, [tantek] and wolftune joined the channel
#[tantek]in Swarm, specific Flight numbers are venues, so you could use your Flight posts as venues as well, and "location tag" your posts you make on the plane with that flight-post-as-venue
