jacky I thought the little blocks were broken images smh
#
vilhalmer SAME
#
jacky > Maybe the “Upgrade to premium” button could be inside the feed reader itself, and tapping it would seamlessly upgrade the feed?
#
jacky this is _literally what AutoAuth and friends is meant to solve tbh
#
jacky wow
#
jacky validation in the wild

Loqi ok, I added "http://interconnected.org/home/2020/07/29/improving_rss" to the "See Also" section of /RSS https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=71777&oldid=70175

#
[tw2113] any reason why events.indieweb.org doesn’t have an RSS feed at the moment?
#
jacky shrugs
#
jacky but if it's needed you can use Granary! https://granary.io/url?input=html&output=rss&url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.indieweb.org
#
GWG [tw2113]: Meetable issue?
#
[tw2113] mostly just curious and mulling over possible misc things that could be added to maybe the WordPress IndieWeb plugin
#
[tw2113] was considering perhaps an Events Dashboard widget
#
GWG [tw2113]: We could bundle php-mf2
#
aaronpk What would the RSS feed contain? There's no event vocabulary in RSS
#
[tw2113] fair enough
#
[tw2113] wasn’t aware earlier when I asked, about that criteria
#
[tw2113] i also have to assume i should feel a tinge of shame for thinking you wouldn’t have considered it if you could succeed with it 😄
#
aaronpk It would take some thought to make sure what appears in rss readers is actually useful
#
GWG aaronpk: I would assume an RSS feed would just be posting the events as a feed dated when they were posted.
#
[tw2113] i assume it could be as basic as the event name, the event date, and the event permalink
#
[tw2113] at least if stored, perhaps the timestamp for when it was published
#
aaronpk Questions: what goes in the body of the rss item? How are they sorted: by date created, by event date?
#
[tw2113] i'd likely make the event date the body. Order...good question there
#
aaronpk Events also have a description which is useful to show
#
aaronpk there's also the location of the event
#
aaronpk basically how do you reduce a rich event that has multiple properties into a format that has only name and content and date
#
aaronpk also remember that rss readers usually show the date of the item so that s probably better off being the date of the event rather than the date it was created otherwise it'll be confusing
#
aaronpk and also remember that events sometimes have no start time because they're multiday events
#
aaronpk but if you can lay out a plan that handles all the edge cases well then I'll consider building it!
#
[tw2113] not quite that important to me, to be honest

#
[jgmac1106] happy to hack on one with you this weekend
#
[jgmac1106] [tw2113] I have a few event plugins I have been hacking on, someone with actualk WP knowledge could probably build a WP events plug-in right quick

#
[Chaitanya] After clicking on the "I'm going" button on the events page, is there a way to see which events you have RSVP'd to?
#
aaronpk oh good idea!
#
[Chaitanya] I was going through the events and I RSVP'd but now I need to go through them again just to know what all I RSVP'd for 😂
