Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG
I feel stalled in some of my projects.
#
cweiske
no fun anymore?
#
cweiske
then don't to them
#
GWG
Not no fun.

#
GWG
I feel like I hit a wall.
#
cweiske
how so?
#
GWG
I did that last year with a project and came back to it.
#
GWG
I just can't translate my vision
#
GWG
Last year, it was that I wanted to switch to SVG icons and couldn't figure out how to work it neatly.
#
GWG
Now I am on another project I stalled on last year for location and I am afraid my approach is wrong
#
cweiske
maybe it helps to talk about your approach here
#
GWG
Well, I use WordPress as my platform
#
GWG
I have been trying to add venues.
#
GWG
And I have had trouble figuring out the easiest to implement UI for it.
#
cweiske
venues for any post?
#
GWG
Yes. But the venue would be an object independent of post.
#
GWG
So, I would need to be able to edit that independent object within the post UI and separately. Which means it requires a bit more on the UI than normal.
#
GWG
And the most logical way to save a venue inside the post UI is JavaScript.
#
GWG
So the page doesn't have to reload. But my JavaScript is limited
#
GWG
So, now we get into using WordPress tools to interact with JavaScript...a whole other level of stuff.
#
cweiske
then lower your expecations/goal
#
GWG
And in the end, it will be better than what I do now, but it is annoying to add
#
GWG
I did, and I hate how it works.
#
cweiske
so there are 3 issues:
#
cweiske
1. creating a new venue
#
cweiske
2. selecting an existing venue
#
cweiske
3. modifying an existing venue
#
cweiske
you could create new and edit existing venues in a separate view, which would limit implementation to 2 only
#
cweiske
which is easy
#
cweiske
in the next step, the venue selection field could automatically create new venues if no existing venue is selected
#
cweiske
this would require an autocomplete field which allows input of non-existing entries
#
cweiske
what's the current UI you hate? do you have a screenshot?
#
GWG
You've seen the WordPress post UI?
#
aaronpk
good morning
#
Loqi
aaronpk: cweiske left you a message 37 minutes ago: http://webmention.org/ returns 500
#
aaronpk
that's odd cause it's just a redirect to github. it's not my domain tho
#
cweiske
GWG, the normal wordpress one
#
cweiske
I've not seen any indieweb plugins for wordpress yet
#
GWG
cweiske, this is just on top of that.
#
cweiske
could you show a screenshot of the current location UI you have?
#
miklb
GWG might I suggest you look at CMB2 for your post meta field work. Takes a lot of work out of adding custom fields. There are even some ajaxified examples out there
#
miklb
also supports REST API in latest release

miklb: I would use a library but I hate plugin dependent on other plugins. WordPress stinks at dependency management.

Does anyone have experience using Keeweb (desktop)? https://keeweb.info/
#
gRegorLove
I was thinking of using it, but found it used to be using Math.random to generate passwords. Since fixed, but still makes me wonder about it overall. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11174014
#
plindner
Also see https://getvau.lt/ which has been around forever..
#
gRegorLove
Looking for something to share password databases cross-platform and remotely.
#
gRegorLove
I know there's tons and tons of ways to mess this up, heh
#
gRegorLove
Thanks, plindner
#
gRegorLove
Oh, it's the same thing. Heh
#
plindner
yeah, I saw lesspass and thought -- I've seen that before
#
aaronpk
i use 1password
#
gRegorLove
Does 1password work with teams?
#
aaronpk
maybe i think
#
aaronpk
the new thing
#
bear
the enterprise does
#
bear
err enterprise version
#
bear
you can have person vaults and team vaults
#
bear
also ACLs for them
#
gRegorLove
Is 1password your recommendation, bear?
#
aaronpk
hopes it is
#
bear
I go with 1password or lastpass -- because it depends on what people are already using
#
bear
they both have good enterprise versions and are very sound
#
bear
we use 1password at circleci

GWG you don't have to include it as a plugin, you can just make it a library in your plugin. That's what I do.
#
miklb
GWG I just set it up as a submodule usually
