[tantek] Only tangentially indieweb but perhaps why not to do things like this on a single site: https://www.platformer.news/stanford-internet-observatory-shutdown-stamos-diresta-sio/

Johan Hi
# 
capjamesg[d] Hello!
# Johan I was looking into this web chat code base, to maybe reuse it for the Code for NL community
# Johan Wondering if anyone made a conf file for apache perhaps
# Johan instead of nginx
# capjamesg[d] That is a question best asked in #indieweb-dev, where more developers are.
# Johan Thanks!
# capjamesg[d] [Joe_Crawford] I added a few more blogs to blog of the day.

# [Joe_Crawford] Great capjamesg!
# capjamesg[d] I’ll see if I can add a few more.
# capjamesg[d] I meant to file a PR but I forgot I had edit access so it merged to main.

# capjamesg[d] I have added more blogs [Joe_Crawford].

# [Joe_Crawford] Can one have enough blogs? I think not.

# [tantek] capjamesg[d], [Joe_Crawford] speaking of blog of the day, check out this directory of personal site home pages! (discovered via a post in #indieweb-stream) https://melonland.net/surf-club
# [Joe_Crawford] clearly there needs to be a directory of blog directories.
# 
Loqi A directory on the web lists websites or pages typically grouped by topic or areas of interest, sometimes using categories or tags, often useful for finding niche communities and discovering new websites https://indieweb.org/directory
# [tantek] directory << Example directory of personal site home pages: https://melonland.net/surf-club
# Loqi ok, I added "Example directory of personal site home pages: https://melonland.net/surf-club" to the "See Also" section of /directory https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=95835&oldid=92230

# capjamesg[d] The design of that page is wonderful.
# [tantek] [Joe_Crawford] re: "directory of blog directories" indeed! Or more broadly a directory of personal website directories. Perhaps we need to rework the top of /directory to provide that sort of thing for folks looking for places to explore. That's a page that needs some rethinking and could perhaps benefit from some realtime brainstorming & collaboration to improve its effectiveness

# [Joe_Crawford] 🌊 ! yes, people have a hunger to explore, yes

# capjamesg[d] I was thinking it would be cool to have a site like indieweb.xyz again.
# capjamesg[d] An aggregator for personal websites. You could only submit one post every day or so, in a category that you want (i.e. writing, coffee, poetry), with feeds so people can subscribe to indivisual sections.
# [tantek] I think the friction of having to explicitly choose and then submit a post is too darn high, and will select for folks who are disproportionately self-confident and/or really enjoy reading their own writing (listening to their own voice) or otherwise broadcasting/spamming (e.g. LinkedIn "thought leadership" pieces :face_vomiting: )
# [tantek] aaronpk, for now, this kind of things feels sufficient for me to both "catch-up" and discover new folks talking about a topic: https://indieweb.social/tags/webmentions
# thepaperpilot Has anyone here used cactus.chat for comments on their sites? I like the idea behind it, and already host a matrix server it could use, but I'd want to also support Web mentions and I'm not sure how well I can combine the two
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "cactus.chat" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "cactus.chat is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [tantek] thepaperpilot, it sounds like cactus.chat may require some #indieweb-dev expertise/interest to setup as well, perhaps worth noting your understanding or /experience with it in the #indieweb-dev channel?
# thepaperpilot I don't have experience with it ATM haha. Mainly just curious about adding comments and Web mentions to my website, and seeing what's currently out there
# thepaperpilot But ideally I'd want people to be able to comment without having a website of their own, and without requiring a specific centralized account (e.g. requiring "any matrix account" is fine, but "login with Google, Facebook, or GitHub" is not)

# thepaperpilot Oh nice, I suppose that'll work. Is there a way to embed that inside the website itself?
# thepaperpilot Although I'd also like people to be non-anonynous without having a website.
# thepaperpilot Optionally\*

[aciccarello] I think Comment parade has a way to add a name and even an avatar if the user wants.

# thepaperpilot Oh, so it does. Very cool! I'd still like to embed it rather than telling the user to go to some other sites in order to comment, though. Do you know if the IndieAuth flow would work if I put the site in an iframe?
# thepaperpilot Only making the iframe appear after a user action, to be considerate
# thepaperpilot Yep, that's fair
