[jgmac1106] Nice to see kickscondor website make front page of hackernews just for being a personal website and nothing more
#
jacky Kongaloosh: nah, just RSVPing and pulling up is all that's needed. It usually happens in the lobby space so once you go past reception; you're there

[chrisaldrich] [KevinMarks] I often export Kindle highlights as easier than Goodreads, which mirror them via Amazon

#
[xavierroy] [KevinMarks] i use clippings.io to export them out to Evernote. Yet to figure out a workflow to post them from Evernote to my site.

aaronpk I took some inspiration from [schmarty] and fixed my photo grid by displaying the post text on hover
[fluffy] and davepeck joined the channel
#
aaronpk I think I might be done with instagram
#
GWG Morning all

#
[snarfed] aaronpk++? why/
#
Loqi aaronpk has 32 karma in this channel over the last year (212 in all channels)
#
[snarfed] hey GWG
#
aaronpk I have a photo grid on my own website, and I get enough feedback on my photo posts even without posting them on Instagram, so I'm not sure what value I get from Instagram anymore
#
GWG [snarfed]: I left you a note in -dev. In the Micropub unit tests, you set a date to June 31st.
#
aaronpk and now that I've been editing most of my photos in Lightroom, I'm not even using the Instagram app as a photo editor either
#
[snarfed] GWG i saw, thx for fixing
#
GWG aaronpk: Then what is missing to finally leave?
#
[snarfed] inertia
#
aaronpk GWG: Finally leave? I haven't posted there in a while. I don't think I'll ever delete my account, I'll just stop using it
#
GWG [snarfed]: I just found it funny how long it took me to figure it out
#
GWG aaronpk: Okay. Thought you were holding on for a reason
#
aaronpk like Facebook. I realized a while ago that if you are only on Facebook you'd probably think I was dead cause it had been like 6 months since I posted there
#
GWG aaronpk: I think my last post was... I am not posting here anymore, go to my site
#
aaronpk Ya I finally did that too
#
aaronpk I made it a "life event"

#
GWG I am thinking of removing the rel me links for those services on my site.
#
aaronpk That's interesting, at what point is it a good idea to remove those links?
#
aaronpk I guess if there's no value for someone to follow the link? So probably if you stop posting there?
#
GWG Exactly
#
GWG I can always shunt it to an archived page
#
aaronpk Also lately most of the photos on my site have come from my checkins I post to swarm
#
aaronpk I'll give it another couple months once I start traveling again to see how this shakes out
#
GWG aaronpk: Next step, can you wean yourself off Swarm?
#
aaronpk That's gonna take a lot
#
aaronpk the venue database is top notch, it's hard to beat
#
GWG aaronpk: Use database not interface?
#
GWG Weren't you the one who told me I could do that?
#
aaronpk I'm fast forwarding to a time when they lock down access to that api
#
GWG aaronpk: Baby steps
#
GWG Venue sharing by websub?
#
GWG We had a discussion about record sharing using webmention once
#
GWG aaronpk: Getting technical, moving

#
[jgmac1106] gwg some of the event plugin for WP had very good venue look up
#
[jgmac1106] I got real close to getting two of them to have h-event, but most required you two save a venue, the one with a good venue database couldnt be hacked on easily
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: Might be Google Place API
#
GWG Same as Foursquare as a dependency

#
[KevinMarks] You will enjoy it I think
geoffo joined the channel; geoffo left the channel
#
[fluffy] yeah it’s pretty good. also you came up in the comments 😉
#
[fluffy] I posted about my favorite CSS2 rounded-corner hack, Eric Meyer replied to it and namedropped you 🙂
[Zegnat] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] I loved eevee complaining about design fashion making css syntax irrelevant as everybody went back to flat rectangles
#
[fluffy] wow, the comments section is turning into a veritable who’s-who of early web folks.
#
[KevinMarks] Tantek, you'll also like the phrase "snorting xml"

[email096] I giggled throughout the article

#
[Michael_Beckwit the article is darn long enough
#
[Michael_Beckwit but the headings had anchors that i could bookmark

#
[fluffy] Yeah every time I see that I’m reminded I need to get around to adding that functionality to Publ
[grantcodes], [Rose] and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] ^^^ nice way to bring it back on topic [fluffy] 🙂
#
[fluffy] So hey next week I’m interviewing at maven.io, which is a web publishing place that is like a loosely-federated conglomerate of a bunch of independent publications at many levels of scale. From my phonescreen they sound potentially amenable to buying into IndieWeb principles. Would that be a good idea? I mean they’re not personal sites but I think some of the ideals are aligned.
#
[fluffy] Like is there a universe in which discussing that stuff is on-topic for IndieWeb?
#
[tantek] [fluffy] see /friendly which describes how services in general can use IndieWeb principles and building blocks to enable and interoperate with the broader community
#
[fluffy] ah, thanks
#
[fluffy] This doesn’t seem to really apply to what maven.io is but it’s worth considering anyway.
#
[fluffy] Especially if they do broaden things to being more like “blogging with clout” which seems to be one of the directions they’re going in
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] imo Land the job first. If you feel it helps your interview bring it up, if not wait until you have the job
#
[jgmac1106] ..... Oh sounds like it would help
#
[fluffy] Well yeah, I’m just considering hypotheticals at this point.
#
[jgmac1106] samizdat.jgregorymcverry.com my idea (all it is not real publication) of blogging with clout peer reviewed syndication
#
[fluffy] wow that page does Things to my brain
#
[fluffy] such as reminding me I need to enable prefers-reduced-motion 😛
#
[fluffy] (gosh I sure wish firefox would like… override animations when that’s set)
#
[fluffy] wow does macOS seriously have no way of enabling prefers-reduced-motion without disabling ALL UI animations throughout the entire OS? anyway [jgmac1106] would you consider making that page friendlier to folks with motion sensitivity? it is very hard for me to look at.
KempfCreative1 joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] yeah, I will I just threw up a brutalist template as a nod to the soviet connection to samizdat, will pick something smooter
#
[fluffy] thanks
#
[fluffy] hmm doesn’t firefox have a way of forcing entry into ‘reader mode?’
#
[fluffy] ah there’s an extension
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] I don't quite get maven.io, but if it's a blog network backend then microformats and reader tools make sense along with micropub and microsub
wolftune joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] that is what mblaney kind of built with ihazawebsite and unicyclic

#
[fluffy] Yeah I don’t quite get it either. Their core business seems to be “Condé Nast but nicer”
#
[fluffy] like trying to bridge the gap between old-school magazine publishing and new-school web publishing
[Michael_Beckwit, shah^, kensp1 and [schmarty] joined the channel
#
[tantek] bridging sounds compatible with IndieWeb philosophies and methodologies 🙂
