#
simpleauthority I hope I'm wrong but the writing for that sounds a lot like AI. Especially the interactive parts where it overexplains the purpose of the UI. :(
toastal, [0x3b0b] and helveticamono joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] Yeah, that's definitely not relevant
#
ruecharli hi so how do i mention people ?

lavandula_ joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] I thought we had an explanation on the discuss page but I can't find it. Essentially you just type the person's username!
#
ruecharli oh ! like aciccarello ?
#
ruecharli or +[aciccarello]
#
ruecharli oooh! that one worked, i think
#
ruecharli is it square brackets for everyone?
brennan and lavandula joined the channel
#
simpleauthority Hey, my first webmention (sending a like) worked! :D

#
[aciccarello] Congratulations! It's fun to feel like your site is a little more connected.
#
[aciccarello] ruecharli Yes it worked!
#
[aciccarello] The brackets question IS on the discuss page https://indieweb.org/discuss#Why_do_some_people_have_brackets
#

#
simpleauthority Speaking of IndieNews, what's the stance the community takes on AI generated things even if the AI generated content is actually IndieWeb meta? 🤔 (Talking about the one right underneath IndieWeb is Punk)
#
simpleauthority technically it's on topic which is cool, but also it's completely AI generated which sucks
#
[capjamesg] Which article are you talking about?
#
[capjamesg] The article I see underneath IndieWeb is Punk on http://news.indieweb.org is a piece of journalism in Portuguese that at least one community member was interviewed for.
#
simpleauthority Oh, I didn't know I was able to delete things. I pressed it out of curiosity and it just deleted. But this one - https://rmendes.net/articles/2026/08/21/ai-shipped-comment-plugin-indielogin/
#
Loqi [preview] [Ricardo Mendes] I shipped my comment plugin to a service that could never accept it
#
simpleauthority yeah sorry, got out of sync. I was not expecting that the deletion would go through without some sort of confirmation
#
rMdes-bnc Yeah that was me, testing my indienews syndicator for indiekit, it can be deleted from indienews

[Trevor_Morris] tdrayson nice. I love the timeline and the sleep tracking. I've built an activity ring web component, but I notice you've built that too. I heave the health export app, but still manually entering the basics still at the moment…
oslek and CrowderSoup joined the channel
#
tdrayson Thanks [Trevor_Morris] Your site had some awesome stuff that I used as inspiration. What are you using to manage your content/tagging images with people as I saw it's also Laravel?
#
[Trevor_Morris] It's all Laravel and custom database. I have a script on my frontend, that appears when logged into my admin area (Filament), meaning I can select an item then click the picture, this sends the coordinates and links the item and photo in the database.
#
[Trevor_Morris] I really want to automate the health data. I've written an API endpoint to store it. But I found it flakey when data got sent. I need to check what data has actually been sent so far.
#
Loqi hey [Trevor_Morris]: we try to keep dev talk (database, frontend, API, endpoint) out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
lavandula_ joined the channel
#
tdrayson interesting, what kind of Flaky? I haven't noticed that. It's been okay for me. I sync twice a day my sleep
Loqi and lavandula joined the channel
#
[Trevor_Morris] That it only syncs when the phone is unlocked, which should be fine. I have (had, it seems) syncing with Google Drive, the basic sync, but that appears to have broken/stopped. I need to triple check my API endpoint, so the data is correct. I also need to find a way to back-date the data, too. My iCloud is full, so I can't seem to sync the data to the macOS app 😞
#
tdrayson For backdating the data, I wrote an endpoint that auto-ingested whatever was sent and manually exported to the endpoint via a date range. I then went back through and updated the date range to the next seven days, and just did that manually.
#
tdrayson This is probably more indieweb-dvev
#
tdrayson dev*

Loqi [indienews] New post: "HTML Can Do That" https://chrisburnell.com/html-can-do-that/
#
[tantek] Oh no more Loqi jargon false positives from mentions in URLs
#
[tantek] [social] need to update your site to have English slugs rather than .p hp?blog=ID
#
[snarfed] bug-driven URL design 😆
#
[social] Nope. As explained many times, this is the intent to keep a piece of old school around. When I started Personal InfoCloud blog in 2003 it had English slugs, which I liked there and had me fine with leaving http://vanderwal.net as it is.
