NeoCities is a free website hosting silo in the spirit of defunct silo GeoCities (Yahoo shutdown in 2009) that looks like a stepping stone to getting started on the IndieWeb https://indieweb.org/NeoCities

What is FTP?

FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, a way to move files for a website or application to a different machine (like your webserver) https://indieweb.org/FTP

Guest29596
why is there no chat in zoom link ? for 2020/12 event ?
#
Guest29596
anyway, do you have any github project which creates feed out of microformats/rss/json feed ?
#
Guest29596
which I can put into my own website ?
#
[chrisaldrich]
The zoom link should be on the "Join this Online Meeting" at https://events.indieweb.org/2020/12/indiewebcamp-create-day-RePAgfMVxFWI

LIVE NOW: IndieWebCamp Create Day
#
aaronpk
there is no chat in zoom because this is where the chat is
#
[chrisaldrich]
Guest29596, if you have one feed you can get granary to generate all the other feed links for you to put into your site.
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is Granary?
#
Loqi
granary is the social web translator https://indieweb.org/granary
#
Guest29596
aah, I thought so. :) good then.
#
[chrisaldrich]
sorry, I missed the word "chat" there...
#
Guest29596
I am interested in building my own feed, the people I follow etc. Kind of like reader but integrated in my own website.
#
[chrisaldrich]
if you have no feeds, then doing mark up with h-feed/h-entry on your posts is likely the easiest and then you can put that into granary.
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is a feed?
#
Loqi
A feed is a dynamic set of posts, typically listed in reverse-chronological order, often only the most recent n (like 10) of them https://indieweb.org/feed
#
Guest29596
I am just looking for projects which does that, I already find some parsers, but I thought there might be some project out there already.
#
Guest29596
feed like facebook feed, but build out of RSS links and other microformats websites.
#
[chrisaldrich]
what is social reader?
#
Loqi
A social reader is a modern interactive reader that allows you to directly respond to posts (with a like, comment, etc) right there inline with posts as you read them (as people do in social media), in contrast to legacy feed readers which were one-way read-only experiences and provided no mechanisms to interact with or respond to posts https://indieweb.org/social_reader
#
[chrisaldrich]
Is something like ^^ what you're looking for Guest 29596?
#
Guest29596
that is the one. :))
#
[chrisaldrich]
Many of those are built on /Microsub.
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is your website Guest 29596? And what is it built on?
#
Guest29596
11ty, tailwind and purescript will be used instead of vanilla js, for dynamic stuff needed. otherwise everything is pre-compiled.
#
Guest29596
rafaj.dev/
#
Guest29596
well, it is beginning, but slowly building, I am thinking to integrate social reader to my site. and I also want to build/find/use some kind of browser plugin to repost content from the web.
#
[dmitshur]
offline first sounds interesting.
#
Guest29596
I am the misterious user in zoom call :) (I am just looking, indieweb fan)
#
GWG
Guest29596: The mystery intrigues me.
#
GWG
You are welcome
#
Guest29596
It is nice community you have here :)
#
GWG
Guest29596: We like it
#
GWG
We also get together on Wednesdays.
#
Guest29596
Could somebody explain me from technical perspective, how does it work with uploading content from different clients to your own websites with help of microformats ? What peaces needs to be in place to make it work
#
Guest29596
like micro.blog does it with their different mobile clients for example.
#
GWG
Microformats is how you mark up a page, to clarify. Micropub, as aaronpk said, is a publishing tool
#
GWG
Or api for one
#
aaronpk
and this is a session from an indiewebcamp with notes and video explaining it https://indieweb.org/2018/Baltimore/micropub
#
Guest29596
gonna try it later, thank you.
#
Guest29596
is there js version of https://github.com/aaronpk/Monocle by any chance ?
#
GWG
I think Together is JS.
#
Loqi
[aaronpk] Monocle: Monocle is a reader app that talks to a Microsub server
#
Guest29596
thank you kind internet people.
#
Guest29596
What services do you self-host and why ? just curious
#
GWG
As many things as I can for which there is not a reason to let someone else host it
#
GWG
To be realistic, sometimes, they do a better job than I do
#
GWG
Or that I'm willing to spend time doing
[tw2113_Slack_] joined the channel
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
basic stuff, but i now have some stats shown https://apiratelifefor.me/book-stats/
#
GWG
Or that aaronpk hasn't written an installable package for.
#
GWG
Kidding about that one, but he is the reason I'm self-hosting location tracking. Building that myself wasn't high enough on my list.
#
GWG
But building other things was

[tw2113_Slack_]++ that's cool? Working toward a /annual_report for your books?
#
Loqi
[tw2113_Slack_] has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (2 in all channels)
#
[chrisaldrich]
could have sworn that page had some silo examples of year end data...
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
dunno, but i probably could since i'm also logging start/end date for things
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
it's a brand new page as of today
#
[chrisaldrich]
that page has a typo... you wrote shortest twice instead of longest in the second instance.
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
d'oh, copy/paste error
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
thanks for noting that 😄
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
i'm sure i could start calculating how many pages were read in a given calendar year, as an example of future stats
#
[chrisaldrich]
annual review << year_in_review
#
Loqi
Sorry, I couldn't find a page named "annual review" or similar
#
[chrisaldrich]
annual report << year_in_review
#
[chrisaldrich]
year_in_review << annual report
