Loqi, maybe you should move this to indieweb dev (prototype, IDE, version control). :-D

haha should Loqi answer "what is" questions in the appropriate channel? 😂
#
aaronpk
"Loqi: that seems to be a question better suited for #indieweb-dev, I'll answer you in that channel instead"
#
[tantek]
that would both be amazing, and Loqi should add an entry somewhere to dfns that need dejargoning

Does ownyourswarm also send a map image via Micropub? Or is it up to the receiver to create a map if desired?

an idea struck my mind
#
fury999io
what if we create fake/spam twitter/instagram/facebook accounts that posts links to cool indie webpages. in this way we can drive more people from walled gardens to a more diverse side of the web.
#
fury999io
there can be multiple such accounts each for specific niche posting related webpages
#
jeremycherfas
Welcome fury999io
#
jeremycherfas
I don't think that's a very good idea and it hardly seeems worth it. Why not post links from your own accounts on those silos?
#
fury999io
jeremycherfas, creating multiple accounts covering specific niches can be more effective
#
jeremycherfas
Do you have your own website? My most IndieWeb is stream.jeremycherfas.net
#
aaronpk
that sounds like the definition of spam and will likely get those account shut down very quickly

has anyone here used bridgy?

Yes, many, not me, although you are likely to get better help in #dev

I am already using it, no problems at the moment

Thanks. Looks interesting.

I see you like badges.
#

What is badges
#
Loqi
A badge (AKA achievement) on the IndieWeb is a post or home page button showing completion of an accomplishment or self-expressed support for a cause, often for finishing a specific task or passing a test like a validator, displayable with a unique code per person or generically with a sticker image; there are prototypes for creating, issuing, and displaying peer-to-peer IndieWeb badges via Webmention https://indieweb.org/badges

What are buttons
#
Loqi
Buttons are badges, logos, and banners that you can use to link to indieweb.org and related sites & technologies, and similar images for a handful of sites similarly aligned in principles or development approaches https://indieweb.org/buttons

bacardi55[m]: What's your capsule? Mine's gemini://shortround.space/
#
bacardi55[m]
shortrounddev: gemini://gmi.bacardi55.io - I have a separated gemlog and web blog (both are available via gemini, but gemini posts are only listed on my website and require a gemini browser)
#
bacardi55[m]
shortrounddev: Nice start! You may want to follow the gemini specs for generating automatically a gemini feed for your logs (or add an atom feed). A gemini feed is the equivalent of the indie h-feed but for gemini (so much simple and limited - on purpose :))
#
shortrounddev
bacardi55[m]: I do have some code for generating the atom food, but idk how compliant it is
#
Loqi
hey bacardi55[m] shortrounddev, we try to keep jargon (ATOM, specs) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#

what is the difference between a blog and a website

Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "difference between a blog and a website" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "difference between a blog and a website is ____", a sentence describing the term)

It's a bit late for coffee in UTC, though I could go for a cold brew porter https://untp.beer/766e253345
#
[KevinMarks]
There's a whole beer style called "Breakfast Stout" that has coffee in, but that one was very clean. A lot of them also add lactose so they have a latte mouthfeel.

It was interesting to listen in to, I've been doing various small web things for many years, but never really talked with anyone about it :) I might join the meeting at some future time, but I prefer writing to speaking when I can ^_^ (though I do enjoy listening to others talk)

With all the amazing TLDs we have, it's surprising there's no .txt or .text, I'd love to have plain.txt :P
