<capjamesg> I have been doing some work with maps after yesterday's HWC discussion: https://jamesg.blog/coffee/maps/york/

Very cool [jamesg483] looks a lot like what I do with todomap.xyz - see https://todomap.xyz/list/VfbgMxoB6OX1uo0fnzEd for an example of an excessive list of restaurants that I want to try. But it's not very indieweb friendly at the moment, apart from supporting embeds.

@SachaGreif
I just added Webmentions to https://meteor10.sachagreif.com/ and I'm still not 100% sure how it all works but it's so cool! I can't believe I've never done that for any other project.

Wellp, Cohost is yet another independent Tumblr-like trying to build things up from first principles. I signed up (to reserve my usual username) and also asked them if they had any plans to support IndieWeb protocols. https://cohost.org
#
[fluffy]1
Oh, I see this is being discussed in #indieweb-chat
jacky joined the channel
#
gRegor
I think it's on topic, there was some brief discussion the other day
#
gRegor
what is cohost
#
Loqi
Cohost is a social networking platform built by https://antisoftware.club https://indieweb.org/Cohost
#
[aciccarello]
haha, I appreciate this feature from Cohost
#
[aciccarello]
"text formatting, so we can get rid of both rampant abuse of the Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, and complaints about rampant abuse of the Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block."
#
gRegor
ooh yeah, sure screenreader users will appreciate that

a lot of stuff in the cohost manifesto, etc, resonates with me. the more i look at the actual site the more it seems like just another silo, though. 😐
#
[aciccarello]
I don't see how it is materially different than anything else
#
aaronpk
yeah it seems like an old school social network?
#
aaronpk
maybe they would be interested in interop with other sites like micro.blog and anything else that supports webmention?
#
[aciccarello]
Seems like it would make sense from a network effect perspective. But they also seem serious about moderation so that gets more complicated.
#
aaronpk
they're gonna be in for a rough ride if they are trying to be serious about moderation but then also are unhappy with the idea that mastodon instances block each other based on moderation policies
#
gRegor
[fluffy]1 asked about indieweb interaction or feeds to subscribe on Twitter
#
aaronpk
cool, i hope it goes well!
#
[fluffy]1
yeah I asked on both twitter and in their ‘contact us’ form
#
[fluffy]1
I hope they’re interested in not just being Yet Another Silo but I’m not terribly optimistic. Tumblr-likes feel like a dime a dozen, and most of them seem to come from a perspective of “we know better” without trying to do any sort of interop (see also: Pillowfort)
#
[fluffy]1
I’m glad the twtxt folk(s) are actually taking IndieWeb seriously.
#
[fluffy]1
And micro.blog, of course, but that should go without saying.
#
[fluffy]1
I do feel like there’s a huge underserved market of IndieWeb-first Tumblr-likes, and I’m always seriously tempted to build one. Heck, that’s what Publ started out as.
#
[tantek]
yeah I think the general approach here is, check out the good example set by micro.blog, and see if you can align & interoperate accordingly!
#
[tantek]
(for any new "silos" that come on the scene with open intentions)

<capjamesg> What IndieWeb things is everyone working on?

wiki gardening 🌱

Trying to get my Micropub server back up to speed
#
[aciccarello]
Getting a micropub server up is my next big thing
#
gRegor
I've not been able to eat my own booking (indiebookclub) for a bit now, hah
#
gRegor
My implementation was pretty hacky, making it into a proper plugin now
#
Loqi
hey [aciccarello], gRegor: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (Micropub, implementation), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek]
I blame capjamesg 😂
#
gRegor
I even intentionally left out the m-word in that last one thinking Loqi wouldn't catch it. Alas. XD
#
IWDiscordGateway
<capjamesg> gRegor++ for the book pun!
#
IWDiscordGateway
<capjamesg> [tantek] I accept no responsibility 😂
#
gRegor
gives Loqi responsibility
#
IWDiscordGateway
<capjamesg> I will take Loqi's silence as acceptance 🙂
#
[aciccarello]
Is capjamesg immune from loqi since they are over the discord gateway? 😷
#
[schmarty]
"IWDiscordGateway" has been scolded in the past :}
#
IWDiscordGateway
<capjamesg> [aciccarello] The thing is I have a chat account for each platform so I can't escape for long haha.
#
capjamesg
Me via IRC :D
#
[aciccarello]
You can get scolded multiple times! :D
