[tantek] This looks like an interesting (centralized) thing that could be perhaps done in an indieweb way personally, and a distributed way in terms of aggregation: https://www.futureme.org/

skippy_ Is there an IRC channel for micro.blog specifically?
jeremycherfas joined the channel
#
aaronpk there used to be a slack but they shut it down
#
skippy_ bummer. thanks.

#
[chrisaldrich] skippy_ do you have a specific question? We might be able to help. There are many micro.blog folks here/watching/listening.
#
skippy_ was initially looking at how to change the URL format of posts. I see no help topic on the matter.
#
skippy_ I'm poking at micro.blog as a possible platform, and just trying to get familiar. Looking also at WriteFreely. Just poking the platform options these days.
#
[tantek] what is URL format?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "URL format" yet. Would you like to create it?_ (Or just say "URL format is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[chrisaldrich] skippy_ do you mean URL design?
#
[chrisaldrich] what is URL design?
#
Loqi URL design is the practice of deliberately designing URLs, in particular, permalinks, typically for a better UX for everyone who creates, reads, and shares content https://indieweb.org/URL_design
#
skippy_ can i use /post-title for long-form posts and /YYYY/MM/DD/HHMM for notes, for example? Can I do so easily without manual work during post/note composition?
#
[chrisaldrich] I've not heard that micro.blog's hosted solution does or offer's that. I'm not aware of any platforms that allow that honestly...
#
skippy_ aye. thanks.
#
skippy_ for those running Jekyll or Hugo or similar and using git to drive workflows, do you store your images in your git repo? Or do you save them outside of your version control?
#
ciccarellome[m] I save mine in git after doing some basic file reduction/metadata removal
#
[chrisaldrich] Another couple options you might look at that have some IndieWeb friendliness out of the box: https://indieweb.org/Quick_Start
#
skippy_ ciccarellome[m]: do you do those modification manually?
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
ciccarellome[m] Yeah, I usually just run them through https://squoosh.app/ right now

#
skippy_ anyone do any interesting Indieweb things with DigitalOcean App platform?
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] looks like yes? https://indieweb.org/DigitalOcean
#
[snarfed] it’s a PaaS? (sorry, maybe #indieweb-dev)
#
[snarfed] oh app platform, maybe not
#
skippy_ yes, PaaS. Like Heroku, in some senses.
#
skippy_ oh noes. My experiments today with micro.blog have fouled up my connections to Monocle. I had been delegating indieauth to my micro.blog account; then today I tried upgrading to a full-hosted account to poke around. Now micro.blog is returning skippy.micro.blog in its indieauth responses, rather than skippy.net!
