#
GWG Does anyone subscribe to check-ins in their social reader, such as Aperture?
#
vikanezrimaya I remember seeing Aaron's check-ins in Monocle when I used it
#
vikanezrimaya so I guess I did and I intend to continue to do so when I revisit the question of my Microsub implementation
#
vikanezrimaya I hope it's a when, not an if
#
GWG I was more talking about a choice than capability
#
vikanezrimaya if I had to make a choice I'd choose to see check-ins in my reader. It's interesting to see where people are going, even if those places may be out of my reach
#
vikanezrimaya I've seen some readers present check-ins as a map where pins are positioned on places to which check-ins were performed in the feed
#
vikanezrimaya this is a fun UI concept as it allows you to see all of your friends around the world on, well, a world map!
#
GWG vikanezrimaya: Fun
#
GWG I still want Loqi to do that
#
GWG Such as...
#
GWG Where is aaronpk?
#
vikanezrimaya aaronpk last checked in at Mt. Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon: https://aaronparecki.com/2021/07/20/15/
#
vikanezrimaya something like this? :3
#
GWG Maybe
#
GWG Ooh.. he's coming to Newark
#
vikanezrimaya additionally one could try to grab p-location from the latest post that contains it, in this case it would be Bellevue, Washington, USA (https://aaronparecki.com/2021/07/28/9/lyft)
#
GWG Could be a fun or scary service
#
GWG I was just thinking if I followed more closely I'd have noticed people moving
#
aaronpk A map view or at least showing only the latest post with location is something I want to add to Monocle
#
GWG I remember one time I was at JFK and got a Swarm notice that Anomalily was in the airport
#
GWG So, reason to know if someone is in the area
#
vikanezrimaya I want my website to share my (approximate) location with whoever is authenticated via IndieAuth (so it's data for data - you reveal who you are, and I reveal where you can find me)
#
GWG Where are you usually?
#
vikanezrimaya home. But I'm planning to cut the location by a few digits so nobody can exactly know where I am
#
vikanezrimaya I mean it's a global panini and i'm unvaccinated (I hope temporarily)
#
vikanezrimaya where else do I wanna be
#
GWG Panini?
#
vikanezrimaya oh sorry I watched too much tiktok
#
vikanezrimaya I meant pandemic, "global panini" is a common tiktok slang
#
vikanezrimaya because the word "pandemic" is too boring and serious and scary
#
GWG It sounded tasty
#
vikanezrimaya on that topic, i am pretty sure i am not eating properly
#
vikanezrimaya eating exclusively microwaved frozen food makes me hungry
#
GWG Almost time for HWC Americas

[grantcodes] Re map view this is something that together has, I personally don't really use it though. It needs a way of only showing the last update from a person otherwise the most recent updates are often the same person for me

GWG [grantcodes]: I have a field in my user profile in WordPress that is updated every time I post with a location. I could always add that to my h-card
