jmac So per some of my rambling at last Wednesday's IW-NYC meetup, I'd like to compile a list of websites besides personal blogs that receive Webmentions and do something interesting with them
#
jmac The two that come to mind immediately are IndieNews and IndieWeb.xyz
#
jmac (IndieNews being https://news.indieweb.org/en)
#
jmac Surely there are others? I'd love to know about them!
#
aaronpk events.indieweb.org and 2020.indieweb.org
#
aaronpk (RSVPs)
wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] I mean https://indieweb.org/RSVPs has examples of sites that receive RSVPs and display them 🙂
#
[tantek] jmac, WDYM by "do something interesting"?
#
[tantek] Presumably Bridgy that uses Webmention-as-POSSE-API would count too
waterbadger, wolftune and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] jmac: also http://webwewant.fyi/voting/
wolftune, [chrisaldrich] and gRegorLove joined the channel
#
jmac [tantek]: By "interesting" I suppose I mean "display publicly somehow"
#
jmac [snarfed]: WebWeWant is news to me, thank you!
#
jmac And the RSVP sites are cool too

#
sl007 Good morning, indieweb. We tinkered a bit:
#
sl007 Crisis Response to Coronavirus COVID-19 : Help, Solidarity, Information.
#
sl007 Support Everyone Impacted By the Covid-19 Pandemic https://redaktor.me

#
[chrisaldrich] sl007++ that's pretty cool looking, will dig into more in the morning after a good night's sleep...

#
[jgmac1106] morning all
#
[g33kcentric] morning!
#
Loqi greetings human
sscarfe, KartikPrabhu, [jeremycherfas], seekr and [Cheuk] joined the channel
#
[Cheuk] ↩️ Yup I like that too! Also RSVP
KartikPrabhu and sscarfe joined the channel
#
jmac So the "Sites using webmention for things besides comments" I know about now include IndieWeb.xyz, IndieNews, and WebWeWant.fyi, plus those RSVP sites. And three+ examples is enough to hang a post off of, so imma put a post together now

#
Zegnat jmac: I have sent a webmention to someone after adding them as an XFN link, to let them know they are part of my network. Does that count as another use?
#
Zegnat Note: the receiver did not do anything with it, and it only happened once, as a bit of a joke :P
#
jmac I am delighted to learn this! But I am afraid it doesn't count as something I could hyperlink to as a look-at-this example. :)
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] I am playing and have issued webmention badges. Does that count?
#
jmac [jgmac1106]: what's an example page
loicm, [schmarty] and [grantcodes] joined the channel
#
jmac The neat thing about writing an explainer post like this is that I can say "This hyperlink, right here, is literally my real-life RSVP to this real-life event" and then show why it worked

#
jacky a good point about how using HTML well can make semantics more intuitive https://www.ericholscher.com/blog/2016/oct/6/authoring-documentation-with-semantic-meaning/
#
jacky it's about documentation but I'm getting strong mf vibes
[jgmac1106], [snarfed], loicm and [LewisCowles] joined the channel
#
[LewisCowles] Are there entries other than u-photo? Like u-logo or u-motif and u-avatar if you have a long-held widely used avatar (Mine was made in 2006)
#
jacky nah afaik that's semantic info that's inferred from its owning context
#
jacky tho I think h-app has u-logo
#
jacky what is h-app
#
Loqi h-x-app is a proposed microformats vocabulary for marking up data about software applications https://indieweb.org/h-app
#
jacky yeah
#
jacky from http://microformats.org/wiki/app-examples, some people publish `logo` or `icon`
#
jacky tbh I think I'll change mine to use `u-photo` so it's a bit more predictable
#
Loqi hey jacky: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical, can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
jacky squints
#
jacky you got it lol
#
[LewisCowles] I got it and found the page + your page. Thanks Jackie

[LewisCowles] can't edit in this slack

#
jacky yeah editing would be weird with the IRC bridge
electronicmaji, Nuve and [aaronpk] joined the channel
#
[LewisCowles] still no u-avatar. I guess my u-logo is my u-avatar, because it's not a u-photo, but I have 2 u-logo entries then
#
[LewisCowles] one is a logo motif
#
[LewisCowles] the other is an avatar of a (dated) me
#
[LewisCowles] Does anyone else have multiple non-photo representations of themselves?
#
beko o/ - first found is usually used.
#
beko I may have another entry for silo dot rip: http://epilogue.net/

#
[chrisaldrich] jmac, not as interesting a use case but I did mock up an AMA page using webmention: https://boffosocko.com/about/ama/ and similar to Zegnat's example I have a followers page that accepts webmentions of people who mention that they're following me or have me in their blogroll: https://boffosocko.com/about/followers/

#
[chrisaldrich] [jgmac1106] do you have any of the Edu522 content still up on your website or is it all 404 after your move? I was looking for some examples for a #PressEdConf20 presentation on Thursday about Webmentions.
#
[chrisaldrich] If not can you point to other examples relating to webmentions/open pedagogy? Read, listen, watch posts perhaps?
#
beko gRegorLove: It's… was… a more niche art station where artists could show off their work, discuss and rate their work. It was specialized in sci-fi and fantasy.

Loqi [Greg McVerry] Hey #edu522 here is today’s #dailyponderance…We spend a lot of time with machines in this class. How do they feel about it. Take time and and play a round of @lonelyengines https://magicspacegirl.itch.io/lonely-engines If you aren’t on Twitter...
#
[jgmac1106] found post about first time teaching full WP suite: https://archive.jgregorymcverry.com/5884-2/

Loqi [Greg McVerry] #EDU522 is the first time I am using the full #IndieWeb WordPress suite with students..Going very well…Even got badges to work as webmentions too bad it it a three week class…that causes stress…takes about three weeks just to get comfortable. h...

GWG Fun

GWG I didn't realize people called [schmarty] Marty McG.

#
GWG No, noticed jmac used it last week
#
[jgmac1106] yeah i thought about presentign but I didn't do much WP...my youth club was gonna be all WP but we only got one site up before the pandemic shut us down, had 14 kids signed up for next session
#
jmac Haha. I can’t remember why I did now! I think I said it out of some sense of parity and then thought “oops I should have said schmarty”
#
jmac Anyone can call me Jason McI if they want, though that looks weirder somehow
#
[jgmac1106] might as through a McV in there, but I have always been more Mac,
#
GWG It just made me think Back to the Future, honestly
