Does anyone have any suggestions for self-hosted shopping cart/payments things? I’m looking at OpenCart and it seems a bit overkill for what I want, but I don’t want to, like, pay $25/month to Shopify or $5+/month to etsy which won’t even list a lot of the things I want to sell anyway
#
[fluffy]
but I’m not feeling persnickety enough to build my own thing against the Square or Stripe API
#
[fluffy]
In the short term I’ll probably just use gumroad for everything but that’s really designed around digital fulfillment and isn’t great for physical goods.

what is shopping cart
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "shopping cart" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "shopping cart is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
KartikPrabhu
what is etsy
#

#

what is shopify
#
Loqi
Shopify is a service for selling online https://indieweb.org/Shopify
#
KartikPrabhu
doesn't seem to be anything documented

Fluffy i love snipcart for static pages
#
[jgmac1106]
You add some metadata into a button element for each product

[fluffy]

what is payment?
#
Loqi
payment in the context of the indieweb refers to a feature on an indie web site that provides a way for the visitor to that website to pay (currency, gift card credit, etc.) the person represented by that indie web site https://indieweb.org/payment

What is portfolio?
#
Loqi
A portfolio on the Indieweb is a professional web page (or collection thereof) targeted at paying customers/clients that often shows examples of work and projects https://indieweb.org/portfolio
#
[chrisaldrich]
portfolio << https://lynnandtonic.com/archive/ which is also a good example of using one's own website as an "opportunity to try new things and continue learning."
#
Loqi
ok, I added "https://lynnandtonic.com/archive/ which is also a good example of using one's own website as an "opportunity to try new things and continue learning."" to the "See Also" section of /portfolio https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=66500&oldid=58975

Does anyone now if micropublish.net should be able to edit posts from the WordPress Micropub server?
cweiske, sukil and [fluffy] joined the channel
#
[fluffy]
The payment page doesn’t seem to cover the use case I’m looking for which is actually selling items.
#
[fluffy]
Anyway I’m just going to build a simple Publ site that uses snipcart

metbril I've never used the WP plugin, but it should if the micropub endpoint supports it. Can you edit with other clients ie quill.p3k.io?

@jamie I don't know how to edit with Quill. Can't seem to find a place to enter a permalink.
#
metbril
Micropublish returns "Internal Error"
#
metbril
literally "Internal Server Error", that is... The HTML source doesn't show anything else.

I'll crosspost in #wordpress

would love to see a proper changelog btw
#
swentel
beko[m], what do you mean?
#
beko[m]
swentel: you're not providing a `CHANGELOG.md`, don't you? Or did I miss this?
#
swentel
beko[m], oh, hmm, well there's a changelog file in the assets folder in the source
#
swentel
in indigenous you can view it under 'About'
#
swentel
but it could probably be a bit cleaner
#
Loqi
[swentel] indigenous-android: An app with extensions for sharing information to micropub endpoints and reading from microsub endpoints
#
swentel
oh, so, basically in the README file, so it shows on that page? (or does github parse changelog automatically too there?)
#
beko[m]
I probably have to wait until Google Play pushes the update :(

Zegnat: Welcome back

waves at GWG
#
GWG_
Zegnat, you remoting in this weekend?
#
Zegnat
If I am home, which it currently looks like I will be, then yes!
#
GWG_
Zegnat: Any projects on your mind?
#
GWG_
I have a fun easter egg I am thinking of adding
#
Zegnat
I may have been tinkering with microformats parsing in JavaScript, that I may continue with this weekend
#
GWG_
Zegnat, I just updated my oldest post
#
Zegnat
The event of your birth? What was there to update? :o
#
GWG_
Zegnat: I just did it on my phone while waiting at the airport
#
beko[m]
Zegnat: I'm all ears for mf parsing in JS 🙂
#
GWG_
I am working on another update
#
Zegnat
GWG: needs more parsability ;)
#
Zegnat
beko[m]: if I produce anything of note, hopefully I can show it off during the demos (if I am actually at my desk this weekend)
#
GWG_
Zegnat: Exactly what I am doing while sitting here
#
GWG_
Refresh
#
Zegnat
Nice!

Zegnat: I originally went in to add the weather
#
Zegnat
Hmm, do you have a posibility to add a source link for weather? I doubt your own weather station was up and running at your birth, so you must have taken this from some historical record I guess?
#
GWG_
Dark Sky

Zegnat, refresh, finished the markup

Interesting types for the measurements :D
#
Zegnat
Nice easter-egg, GWG!
#
Zegnat
What is easter egg?
#
Loqi
An easter egg is an (often small) undocumented feature, many are small jokes https://indieweb.org/easter_egg
#
Zegnat
did not know Dark Sky had historical weather data like that
#
GWG_
Zegnat: Inches and pounds?
#
Zegnat
No, head and chest.
#
Zegnat
As in, I am not sure those sizes are self explanatory? Is there a definition for where chest size is measured? (I bet there is, but it is getting late)
#
GWG_
Zegnat: I took it from a primary source
#
GWG_
Zegnat, might this be better suited in microformats or dev though?
#
GWG_
If we are getting into the details
#
Zegnat
Definitely!
#
Zegnat
Though, at 1 minute to 11, I am not sure I have the attention span to get into anything after a full working day ;)
