[tantek] [KevinMarks] I think the usual direct engagement with the community stuff, chat.indieweb, events.indieweb, and frankly always worth sharing micro.blog with folks because it's a great example.

[tantek] capjamesg, did you mean to post that to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek] "For coders…"
#
capjamesg Ah, fair point.
#
capjamesg Yes, indeed.

#
jacky anyone here use https://hemingwayapp.com/?
#
jacky the approach for their editor (no icons in the toolbar, full screen experience) is cool
#
[aciccarello] What is Hemingway App
#
Loqi Hemingway App is http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ a website (and accompanying native apps) that provides an interactive text editor that highlights bad grammar, readability difficulties, and other areas of potential editorial improvement as you type; a simplified reverse-engineered version is available that could be used to enhance any indieweb post creating UI https://indieweb.org/Hemingway_App
#
jacky ah nice
#
jacky interesting way to show one's life archive https://notes.busterbenson.com/life-in-weeks
#
Saphire > If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic — try editing this sentence to remove the red.
#
Saphire dabs in ADHD
#
[aciccarello] Ah yes, the "ride a bike at the age of 100" guy
#
gRegor That's pretty cool, jacky
#
[tantek] jacky, have you seen my brainstorming about even further text-editing UI improvements beyond Hemingway?

#
[aciccarello] Speaking of, it was interesting to see people 60+ regularly riding bikes for everyday transportation in Italy. So different than the US.

#
jacky oh these ideas are nifty
#
jacky esp the shortcode one
#
[aciccarello] I could use a better way of managing drafts 😅
#
[tantek] seriously, still a problem I haven't solved

[aciccarello] The sad thing is I'm often faster working through a dev backlog than a blog ideas backlog

#
IWDiscordGateway <slyduda> quick question, is there an issue with matrix for this chat? i'm unable to communicate via element.io
#
capjamesg Are you getting an error message?

#
Loqi [Eugen 💀] I can't help but feel cynical about the incentives here. If your team receives $13M in funding, are you going to assess existing ecosystems and conclude that other people are already doing adequate work and there's not much for you to do there? #Blue...
#
Saphire ...hm
#
[tantek] Eugen++ for that 🔥
#

#
IWDiscordGateway <slyduda> capjamesg: no error message, but nothing is loading. i am a matrix noobie. maybe it takes a bit to sync?
#
capjamesg I wish I could help more but I don't use matrix :(
#
capjamesg Anyone else able to advise?
#
Zegnat I posted a link in #indieweb-chat; I noticed the question there before here
#
[timothy_chambe] [tantek] - also from Eugen on the same thread: "In my opinion there's nothing you can't do with #ActivityPub. You want DIDs? You could do DIDs. You want "curation and moderation" to be a separate layer? You can do that. You want "big world" networking? You can add that. Do not confuse what implementers have chosen to do so far with what the protocol is capable of. #ATP"
#
[tantek] [timothy_chambe] also hypothetically true. would be a bit stronger statement if such "with ActivityPub" statements were backed up with test cases / suites for those aspects of AP.
#
Loqi friendly reminder [timothy_chambe], [tantek], we try to keep jargon (ActivityPub) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek] oh yeah good point

#
Saphire sighs
#
Saphire I wish Eugen was that enthusiastic about actually fixing the JSON LD stuff on mastodon site
#
Saphire The http://joinmastodon.org/ns is used as a JSON LD namespace by mastodon stuff, and it's... rather annoying having to bend around the case where it is used but cannot be actually resolved and such
#
[tantek] namespaces--
#
Loqi namespaces has -1 karma in this channel over the last year (-2 in all channels)
#
Saphire Mmm?
