[chrisaldrich]1 Anyone do progress bars on their sites or in syndicated copies? How do you do it?
# [chrisaldrich]1 Related https://twitter.com/year_progress/status/1436071931703332871
# [chrisaldrich]1 HTML output for these could be a cool use case for a micropub client.
# [chrisaldrich]1 What is progress?
# 
Loqi spinner is an animated image that typically shows a rotating motion indicating that a page is doing something like loading something via JS or otherwise busy trying to make progress on something https://indieweb.org/progress
# [chrisaldrich]1 That might be better defined as progress with spinner as a sub-category in this framing... hmmm....
# [snarfed] [chrisaldrich] http://huffduff-video.snarfed.org/ does a pretty cool progress bar, pure HTML afaik. [KevinMarks] did it, I still don't really understand it
# [chrisaldrich]1 Thanks [snarfed], that's a good example. Makes me think I'm on track with some of my own markup. Ex: https://boffosocko.com/2021/01/28/55786051/ I hadn't thought about having a visual indicator for syndicated copies to places like Twitter though.
# [chrisaldrich]1 I think I got the idea from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/progress

[KevinMarks] You could make an inline svg fairly easily too, but likely that won't syndicate to twitter either.

capjamesg[d] Can anyone remember what Facebook's "poke" feature was for? It just came to mind.
# capjamesg[d] What is poking?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "poking" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "poking is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# capjamesg[d] Want to try your hand at a definition Murray?
# capjamesg[d] I just meant for a definition.
# capjamesg[d] But you are right because the content would probably be thin.
# Loqi Anything directly related to people with their own websites, such as technologies and services used, design and UX, formats and protocols, as well as events or podcasts are relevant to the IndieWeb wiki. https://indieweb.org/relevant_to_the_IndieWeb_wiki

# kevinmarksbot Are pokes phatic?
kimberlyhirsh[d] joined the channel
# [KevinMarks] o_O they can be
# npd[m] I think "poke" was a forerunner to "yo" or "gm"
# npd[m] and I think there's a pretty interesting social satisfaction to these low-semantic-content personal check-ins

# npd[m] Yo, from 2014, let users send just the word "yo" to each other: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_%28app%29
# [snarfed] started to send the obligatory https://tantek.pbworks.com/w/page/19402879/CommunicationProtocols but it's down 😢 [tantek] what's the status of your pbwiki?
# [snarfed] as a backup, https://www.nohello.com/
# [snarfed] or the higher production value https://nohello.net/
# npd[m] gm was a short-lived iOS app for sending good morning messages (the text "gm"): https://gm.town/
# [chrisaldrich]1 What is Yo?
# Loqi Yo is a mobile app for sending your contacts the text "Yo" https://indieweb.org/Yo
# [chrisaldrich]1 No IndieWeb implementations yet....
# [chrisaldrich]1 Anecdotally, I've noticed some tummelling community members use questions like "What's everyone working on today?" instead of simply "hello".
# [chrisaldrich]1 kevinmarksbot, have you implemented a parser that uses `p-phatic-of` yet?
# capjamesg[d] Anyone want me to send them a "Yo" webmention? 😄

# [chrisaldrich]1 [KevinMarks]++ for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYsMtroVLeA to "help understand how these social science concepts can apply to the computer science worlds that we're building and make sure that it's not just another synthetic world that exists on its own terms but actually bridges back to human connections"

# [chrisaldrich]1 capjamesg, the first step in working towards properly displaying a "yo" is receiving one. Send away. 🙂 Perhaps https://indieweb.org/person_mention may help too?

# Loqi Poke (or alternately tap, nudge, hi, hello, ping, wink, flirt, pat, wave, etc.) is a feature on a few silos and messaging networks that's a silly method of attempting to get someone's attention, annoy them, or say "I'm thinking about you", typically in an attempt to start an actual conversation https://indieweb.org/poking
# 
[tantek] oh dear it beyond a joke apparently: https://gregorlove.com/2017/12/poked-chris-aldrich/

# [snarfed] definitely! history would be nice, that's one part I haven't exposed to display. but arguably you could expose it for posts too, at least if they have history, right? or you could hide it. as long as you have some way to distinguish pages from posts, you can do some simple display (and maybe authoring) customizations per type

# capjamesg[d] tantek The page on poking made me laugh.
# capjamesg[d] I am really tempted to send a poke now:
# [KevinMarks] Having your static site in github gives you a history by default (and allows pull requests)
# [KevinMarks] Sure, but the text files being in git is a standard way of storing history
# capjamesg[d] Very true.
# [KevinMarks] It is a big flaw with database backed things.
# [KevinMarks] Rollback is ephemeral
