# 12:37 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 12:38 GWG I feel stalled in some of my projects.
# 12:40 GWG I did that last year with a project and came back to it.
# 12:42 GWG Last year, it was that I wanted to switch to SVG icons and couldn't figure out how to work it neatly.
# 12:43 GWG Now I am on another project I stalled on last year for location and I am afraid my approach is wrong
# 12:45 GWG Well, I use WordPress as my platform
# 12:46 GWG I have been trying to add venues.
# 12:46 GWG And I have had trouble figuring out the easiest to implement UI for it.
# 12:48 GWG Yes. But the venue would be an object independent of post.
# 12:51 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.
# 12:52 GWG And the most logical way to save a venue inside the post UI is JavaScript.
# 12:53 GWG So the page doesn't have to reload. But my JavaScript is limited
# 13:02 GWG So, now we get into using WordPress tools to interact with JavaScript...a whole other level of stuff.
# 13:02 GWG And in the end, it will be better than what I do now, but it is annoying to add
# 13:04 cweiske you could create new and edit existing venues in a separate view, which would limit implementation to 2 only
# 13:05 cweiske in the next step, the venue selection field could automatically create new venues if no existing venue is selected
# 13:06 cweiske this would require an autocomplete field which allows input of non-existing entries
# 13:06 cweiske what's the current UI you hate? do you have a screenshot?
# 13:13 GWG You've seen the WordPress post UI?
# 13:15 aaronpk that's odd cause it's just a redirect to github. it's not my domain tho
# 13:16 cweiske I've not seen any indieweb plugins for wordpress yet
# 13:46 GWG cweiske, this is just on top of that.
# 13:47 cweiske could you show a screenshot of the current location UI you have?
# 14:22 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

# 18:51 GWG miklb: I would use a library but I hate plugin dependent on other plugins. WordPress stinks at dependency management.

# 20:05 gRegorLove Looking for something to share password databases cross-platform and remotely.
# 20:06 plindner yeah, I saw lesspass and thought -- I've seen that before
# 20:07 bear you can have person vaults and team vaults
# 20:08 bear I go with 1password or lastpass -- because it depends on what people are already using
# 20:08 bear they both have good enterprise versions and are very sound

# 21:46 miklb 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.
# 21:48 miklb GWG I just set it up as a submodule usually
