Good morning IndieWeb

Good day to you Sir Cherfas.
#
jeremycherfas
Thank you jbove. PSA: non-Brits often make the same error. When referring to a knight, it is Sir Firstname or Sir Firstname Lastname, and never Sir Lastname.

Hi Christian. Nice to see you here. I was going to try to set up the newest "Homebase" release by Pfrazee: https://github.com/beakerbrowser/homebase
#
Loqi
[beakerbrowser] homebase: Self-deployable tool for hosting hyper:// websites
#

Loqi rocks
#
christianbundy
johan! long time no chat
#
christianbundy
that's rad, I'm excited to spend some more time looking into hypercore once they write protocol docs!
#
jbove
christianbundy: What do you mean? I'm not really looking into the protocol myself. Having fun with Beaker API and hyperdrives. But isn't https://hypercore-protocol.org/ what you are looking for?

christianbundy
jbove: that's a high-level overview, but after spending lots of time building SSB I'm kinda hesitant to learn a project that doesn't have a well-specified protocol
#
Loqi
[christianbundy] #60 Protocol documentation?
#
jbove
I see your point now. True. Waiting for Mafintosh I assume. I'm no computer graduate; so I wouldn't know where to start if I wanted to...

I like writng html files and then publishing them on the web. Gets mote fun when I add links between two HTMl files. Gets most funnest when the two files talk back and forth with webmentions
#
[jgmac1106]
more* sorry ...long day

jgmac1106 Wishing "pure" _HTML_ files could really do that. I'm always happy too when my webmention comments and likes show up on other people's pages.
#
[jgmac1106]
I know...and I do not want to get to devy...I said in last HWC I attended I just wish I could goto the menu in any browser and say File>New>write stuff>publish and it was on my website
#
[jgmac1106]
so I am excited to see people play with that vision in different protocols, which just means the chain of things that makes things happen,
#
jbove
I have a couple of great bookmarklets that give me some of that functionality "within" the browser.

jgmac1106: yeah, webmentions seem like a lot of fun. I should probably read the wiki, but do webmentions operate by polling all of the webmention-compatible sites they know about?

hi, what free landing page builder service do you recommend? Can output website to host on own server
#
jbove
christianbundy: As far as I understand webmention, the server that creates a reaction to a another page sends a POST to that recipient server only. It's up to the recipient server to store that request or not. If the target URL does not handle these POST requests, then the owne of that server can implement https://webmention.io/ and then I believe the webmention interactions are stored on webmention.io. Not sure if what
#
jbove
you are looking for is mentioned here: https://indieweb.org/Webmention-faq

jbove: oh interesting, so it's a push-based thing rather than pull-based
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
jbove
Yes, that's how I understand it.
#
jbove
But it is a little bit of both push and pull. When the recipient server receives a webmention POST, it will GET the URL of the origin and parse out the important parts of the page where the reaction was published on. Like author and the type of reaction. (in-reply-to, like) The magic is that web servers really interact between them this way.

The Bridgy case is also interesting: https://brid.gy/about#source-urls

What is a landing page?
#
Loqi
Your homepage represents you on the web, typically at the top of your domain, with your name and an iconic representation, often marked up with h-card, and fairly commonly one or more streams of recent, topical, or most relevant posts marked up with h-entry https://indieweb.org/landing_page

[chrisaldrich]
kiero_You might find something there^^, but I always liked some of the simplicity of this tutorial: https://extend-domains.ecampusontario.ca/guide/calling-card/

jbove, in case you missed it yesterday, it sounds like there's some interesting movement happening with /twtxt
