Lloyd1 Hello!
#
Lloyd1 I'm working on adding webmentions to my site and learning indieweb as I go along. I was wondering what the deal with trailing slashes is, and how to handle that?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "trailing slashes" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "trailing slashes is ____", a sentence describing the term)

#
Lloyd1 I lost the URL I found, but, https://webmention.io/api/mentions.jf2?target=https://sia.codes/posts/webmentions-eleventy-in-depth/ notice how that has a trailing slash? Sometimes I've noticed that the trailing slash or not gives different webmention.io feed results
#
Lloyd1 Of course, but if someone mentions something.com/note/1/ and then someone else mentions something.com/note/1 - that's two different feeds that for all intents is the same url
#
Lloyd1 *same page I guess
#
Lloyd1 Ah I found the one I was on about:
#
Lloyd1 Ah I found the one I was on about:
#
aaronpk it's the same issue as https://example.com/post/1234/ vs https://example.com/post/1234/some-custom-slug

#
Lloyd1 I suppose requesting both versions to be safe would work but would increase the request count
#
Lloyd1 yeah I understand - just seems tricky to work with
#
Lloyd1 That would be a nice feature yeah
#
Lloyd1 Fair enough
#
Lloyd1 I keep coming across slash vs no slash with different tools and frameworks, even google's handling of sitemaps, and its something I just wanted to ask about in case :D

#
aaronpk ok captured the feature request here, no promises on a timeline https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues/217

#
Lloyd1 Awesome, thank you for considering it

_pi_r2_0[d] aaronpk[d] are you done with ccTLDs or is that still an option? π

#
[Joe_Crawford] Extend of `.net` or `.dev` come immediately to my mind. Maybe `.coop`?
#
[Joe_Crawford] Err⦠extension must be what I meant. Coffee deficit.
[tantek] and spew joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] Something like incoming.link?

#
[schmarty] time for a new-name brainstorming section on https://indieweb.org/webmention.io ?

nsmsn Shared in #indieweb-dev already, but...a beginner-friendly guide to HTML: https://htmlforpeople.com/

#
capjamesg[d] Ooooh!

#
capjamesg[d] What made WordPress successful?

#
capjamesg[d] Interesting!

#
capjamesg[d] [mattl] What happened with Movable Type's licensing?

#
capjamesg[d] I just realised I had never asked why WP was so successful among all of the website builders.

#
gRegor https://indieweb.org/Movable_Type#Examples has some details

#
jimw unfortunately web.archive.org looks like it offline now and the link is dead otherwise, but http://varchars.com/archives/2004/05/76.html was a piece about PHP-based blogging systems that was written about the time of MT 3.0's release, which is when the licensing discussion blew up.
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d], 3rd paragraph and onward has a decent summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movable_Type#History

#
capjamesg[d] Interesting.

Loqi life happens is a summary expression of numerous things that people experience in their actual physical lives that suddenly take higher priority than nearly anything else (like participation in volunteer-based communities), and the IndieWeb community is here to acknowledge, accept, and be supportive of community members experiencing this https://indieweb.org/life_happens

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

#
[tantek] morganm, you're not alone apparently, the wiki is also bereft of /inspiration π

#
[morganm] When I'm home I'll add something
#
[morganm] Coffee may be involved
#
[morganm] ++inspiration
#
[morganm] Inspiration++
