[tantek] Yes! As a dedicated Micropub client! 😂
#
[tantek] (I may change my own posting UI to a big button that says *( SEND TWEET )* when it's going to POSSE a note to Twitter)
toupain, [cleverdevil], nickodd and [schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] Haha that would be a fun little "interface series". Buttons labeled [That's it. That's the tweet.]
Hatch joined the channel
#
[tantek] ^ if the tweet is less than a certain number of characters yeah
#
[tantek] then the option is there
#
[tantek] also remembers if you've used it recently (past month? year?) and only shows up if it's been long enough since that was the tweet.
#
[tantek] [schmarty] I think this may be how I redesign my UI once I have undo working.
#
[tantek] *( SEND TWEET )* ---> ( SENDING TWEET ... ) ---> *( UNSEND TWEET )*

Ruxton woops, a friend let an important domain of theirs lapse, buhbow!
#
Ruxton finally someone understands how i feel about web content - "I abhor just removing sites from the web, even if it is totally unlikely anyone will ever look for it, to me, it’s incumbent as a web content creator to not rip holes in the fabric."

[jgmac1106] I get 231 characters since I include canonical url, like the constrain and the extra 71 characters
#
[jgmac1106] Google Maps just added following and social bios to Reviewers
#
[jgmac1106] not sure when haven't done a review, only so many times I can rate my home office...and the reviews get worse day by day

#
[tb] Seems like the privacy-friendly analytics space is starting to ramp up now
#
[tb] There was the one [aaronpk] mentioned the other day that I can't remember the name of now
#
[tb] And just saw this https://plausible.io/self-hosted-web-analytics
#
aaronpk Fathom
#
[tb] Also CloudFlare came out with something too I think
#
aaronpk Interesting, Plausible looks nearly identical to Fathom
#
aaronpk wonder if they picked up the code base and started offering it as a service
#
sknebel no
#
ndegruchy GoatCounter is easily self-hosted
#
ndegruchy Privacy-focused
#
ndegruchy (Also has a pay-for service, for those not wanting to self-host)

[manton] I’ve been using Plausible for the Micro.blog home page (only for people not signed in). I didn’t realize they had a self-hosted version… Also nice that it’s MIT licensed.
#
skalnik I’ve been using Plausible for my various websites and really digging it. I haven’t used the self hosted option though

#
mayakate[m] <ndegruchy "GoatCounter is easily self-hoste"> Huh, I hadn't seen this before. Just signed up -- it looks like just what I wanted. Thanks for the rec! (FYI: the pay-for is for commercial use, it's free for personal... but Github matches his sponsorships so I'm chucking in a few bucks anyway)

GWG [tantek]: I am fine with public feedback
#
GWG I am not good at this sort of documenting, but I find if I don't, I forget later
#
[tantek] cool. let's start with the URL / kind of post you want feedback on!
#
GWG https://david.shanske.com/2020/10/06/fall-foliage-trip/
#
GWG How to write a travel log is the topic
#
[tantek] aside (literally) just noticed the sunrise and sunset times look a bit off for me (seeing 1:44am EDT, 1:51pm EDT respectively)
#
[tantek] some immediate post impressions:
#
[tantek] it sounds like there are images forthcoming, however it's hard to tell where. perhaps some sort of image placeholder / emoji would help as a hint that you have a photo of that spot that you're planning to upload. e.g. 🖼
#
[tantek] would be neat if hovering over a paragraph would highlight the respective segment of the path on the map
#
[tantek] and as such, once the map scrolls off the top, it would be nice to see it inset perhaps in the lower right or left while scrolling, kinda like some sites do with videos that are that top of a page once you scroll down
#
[tantek] ... since the route is the "primary content" of the post, it would be nice to see it visible while reading / scrolling through the entire description and narrative of what happened
#
[tantek] once you have photos uploaded, it would be cool to see mini-icons of the photos on the map where they were taken
#
[tantek] those are the immediate things that pop to mind
#
GWG I was going to post the photos as separate posts. Because of the too long, didn't read issue
#
GWG I will likely enhance it with links to photos, but I only took photos at the stops, not on the way, because I was driving
#
GWG As for the hovering, haven't built that yet.
#
GWG But I'll try that
fauno_ joined the channel
#
[tantek] photos as separate posts also makes sense, which then turns the roadtrip post into a collection of a sort
#
jacky https://w3ctag.github.io/ethical-web-principles/ seems interesting
#
jacky and relevant
#
[tantek] oh yeah W3C Tag Ethical Web Principles are quite good
