[tantek] jacky, affiliate links can bias content, that's one concern. another is that anything that encourages additional consumption (especially of "stuff") is worthy of being questioned. I still think there is some benefit here of directing folks to where to get essential needs.
#
[tantek] I'm worried more about the "growth" scenarios that drive people to use affiliate links to useless crap just in the hopes of making a few more affiliate $
#
[tantek] or recommending worse product A over better product B, because A has an affiliate link option, and B does not
#
[tantek] that's the "bias content" concern I noted

[tantek] HWC SF here in full swing. 5 of us here
#
[tantek] James Duffy is demonstrating his new site
#
[tantek] duffy.xyz
#
[tantek] he switched from a static site backend to Django
#
[tantek] he uses Django admin as his authoring UI
#
[tantek] https://duffy.xyz/adminxyz
#
KartikPrabhu me too
wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] he is thinking of building a UI for posting, and I suggested considering implementing Micropub instead
#
[tantek] he said he looked into it and there didn't seem to be much Python support for Micropub servers
#
KartikPrabhu a small code base is https://github.com/bear/kaku
#
Loqi [bear] kaku: 書く- to write
#
KartikPrabhu but yes, nothing "mature" yet

#
duffy Hello, I am duffy.xyz
#
KartikPrabhu yo
#
[tantek] he implemented post type discovery for his own code which made it easier than having to figure out the logic himself
#
[tantek] wrapping up here!
#
[tantek] Eril took a few selfies and will be sending them to me to post
#
duffy @kartik I'd love to see how you are building your Django models

metbril I'm trying to login the Indigenous for iOS. But it looks like https://indigenous.abode.pub is down. So is https://eddiehinkle.com. Any experiencing similar issues?

Loqi [indienews] New post: "Ditching Event Platforms for the IndieWeb" https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/11/14/ditch-event-platforms-indieweb/

#
[chrisaldrich] Jamie's post reminds me about upcoming.org. Has Andy and the gang continued iterating and making it indieweb friendly?
#
[chrisaldrich] I also wonder about having a hub like indienews or indieweb.xyz that allows people to syndicate events on their own websites into a hub-like repository that could serve the function of meetup.com or upcoming.org.
#
[chrisaldrich] Better would be a hub like those that had a micropub client for creating events and or RSVPs that could post to one's website as well....
#
gRegorLove I just logged in there to post SDHWC. No webmentions or mf2. It does support markdown, which I didn't recall it doing before. Maybe I just hadn't tried it.
#
[chrisaldrich] gRegorLove++ for HWC-SD and https://upcoming.org/event/homebrew-website-club-ltsuimaln6
#
Loqi gRegorLove has 13 karma in this channel over the last year (59 in all channels)
#
gRegorLove Generally a nice UX adding events there, though
#
[chrisaldrich] What is event?
#
Loqi An event is a type of post that in addition to a post name (event title) has a start datetime (likely end datetime), and a location https://indieweb.org/event
#
[chrisaldrich] event << https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/11/14/ditch-event-platforms-indieweb/
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/11/14/ditch-event-platforms-indieweb/" to the "See Also" section of /event https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=66391&oldid=66156
