#tantekaaronpk what's the type of map display called where there's a bunch of points just plotted on a map? perhaps as pins (e.g. Google Maps red pins)
#LoqiGoogle Maps is a Google's web application for viewing a map, getting directions, and keeps track of your location history (opt out) https://indieweb.org/Google_Maps
#tantekinteresting I keep updating / adding to the Google Maps page on politically active days
#aaronpkin doing this indienews update and testing it with woodwind, I'm realizing the typical author+content model doesn't represent all the parts of things posted to aggregators
#tantek"parts of things" ? use-cases of things aggregators aggregate?
#tantekit sounds like you're fixing a (new to you) bug in websub.rocks!
#aaronpkmost of the posts on indienews are submitted by the author. that ends up looking fine in a reader. however if someone submits a bookmark of some other site, then what should the reader show as the author?
#aaronpkif the reader shows the bookmarked site as the author (which most closely matches what it looks like on indienews) then the submitter doesn't appear in the reader
#aaronpkif the reader shows the submitter as the author, then there isn't a place to link to the bookmarked post!
#tantekaaronpk - we see this problem in Loqi summaries of bookmark posts in #indieweb and #indieweb-dev!
#tanteke.g. most commonly, we see posts that show Chris Aldrich as the author of an article, but it's actually just him as the author of the *bookmark* of the article, and Loqi does not show the actual author of the article
#tantekLoqi is already an aggregator with this problem :)
#aaronpki had the same problem when I just added microformats to https://bulletin.p3k.io/aaronpk so that you can subscribe in woodwind. it's even more subtle here, because each post there may be "submitted" by a bunch of people because they tweeted it. and in this case, Bulletin is doing its own curating so really the "bookmarker" of those posts is Bulletin!
#tantekThe way I would approach this is to first document screenshots of how "bookmark" posts are presented at all, both individuall (on a bookmark permalink page), and in a list / collection, both on personal site(s) and silo(s)
#tantekand then from those, I would brainstorm text-only design equivalents of how to "present" a bookmark post
#tantek(which, like most text-only design, would also work as a method of how to POSSE said posts to Twitter)
#tantekwhich reminds me, we have an example of *that* in particular to look at
#aaronpkwell i don't feel so bad about this being my project for today because turns out enabling websub on indienews made all these other issues apparent
#voxpelliaaronpk: seems like indienews have no markup saying that it's a bookmark/repost/something of the posts? seeing no u-bookmark-of
#aaronpkvoxpelli: yeah i wasn't sure that was correct
#tantekthen yeah, news.indieweb WebSub support which then revealed a bug that you fixed in WebSub.rocks *definitely* counts as a good productive indieweb project for the day, the visible bit being the bug fix in websub.rocks
#voxpelliaaronpk: bookmark or repost sounds correct – and if a reader then could interpret the interaction type then it could present it as "<author> <interaction> <title>" rather than "<author> posted/wrote <title>"
KevinMarks joined the channel
#tantekprobably would have counted with just the "adding websub" support, but the extra visible bit is really good to point out, plus advancing a test suite is a pretty big deal
#tantekwebsub is one of the things that IMO helps distinguish "IndieWeb" from just "Blogs & RSS" of the early 2000s
#tantekthat is, Websub enables *real time* "social web" interactions, which is something silos have that typical "Blogs & RSS" do not.
#tantekand that aspect of, we are building UX that is leveling up (and beyond) what "social media" silos provide is a key distinguising aspect from just "Blogs & RSS"
#aaronpkvoxpelli: look at the top post on indienews right now. it's submitted by boffosocko.com. that one makes sense to me as a bookmark, since it's clearly submitted by him and the thing being bookmarked is on a different domain. however it's less obvious to me that the next one is a bookmark.
#aaronpki submitted my Day 31 post to indienews. I don't have a post on my site that's a bookmark of that post. does that mean the indienews post is a bookmark? if so, who is the author of the bookmark post?
#voxpelliI think you is the author of that bookmark post. Consider IndieNews a collection and posts added to the collection makes sense to name as bookmarks of that collection
#tantekaaronpk: I think IndieNews needs to conditionalize its display on whether the thing submitted was a /bookmark post or not
#voxpelliin my reader I would love it to appear as "aaronpk saved <title>" or "aaronpk added <title>" just as I would love to see "boffosocko.com added <title>"
#KevinMarksThough it hasn't been widely used AFAIK
#tantekKevinMarks: no one ever documented or did anything remotely resembling good "repost" design / UX with Atom so I have zero confidence in any plumbing that was designed / created abstractly
#tantekand yes, that's why it hasn't been widely used, they failed to first document / design / solve the UX problem of reposts
#KevinMarksRight, and rss was originally just for reposts so you get feeds that do that
#tantekand led with plumbing (markup) first, instead of documented use-cases / design / UX / first
#KevinMarksBut rss never did a job of distinguishing the 2 cases
#tantekyes, they at least tried to start with documenting use-cases, but never took the additional step of brainstorming design / UX before coming up with markup to represent the things in actual design / UX
#voxpelliit's a good thing we keep u-bookmark-of and u-url separate, in RSS/Atom it's often the u-url equivalent that gets set to the external link and the internal one is put elsewhere, like as rel-related in Daring Fireball
#voxpelliaaronpk: actually not so sure about the bookmark thing, feels like we need development on the indiereader side to really figure this out – right now IndieNews is set up in such a way that the entries there are no real entries, but rather just points to external entries – and that's probably right
#voxpelliand also often showing you interactions around the post, like if person X has liked it or retweeted it
#tantekTwitter shows 100% of the content of original posts in their "reader" view
#tantekFB shows only part of original post (ellipses at ??? chars) with a "More" link to view more.
#voxpellimany indiereaders seems to be be designed like a classic feed reader which in turn is designed like a classic email inbox rather than the more stream like interfaces of social medias
#tantekIG shows 100% of photo of original post, and maybe 2-3 lines of the original caption with a "... more" link for more of it
#LoqiA feed reader is an application (local or on the web, like the defunkt Google Reader) that subscribes to feeds (typically legacy Atom & RSS) and presents them in an interface for reading https://indieweb.org/feed_reader
#aaronpkis looking forward to getting back to work on Monocle hopefully soon
#KevinMarksWoodwind has the collapse arrows, but I should have made the bigger
#sknebelunread-tracking (I don't insist on actual numbers displayed) is incredibly important for some types of feeds for me. The ability to turn it of on a per feed(group) basis would be nice though
#aaronpkpodcasts are a great example of where you sometimes absolutely want unread tracking and sometimes really don't
#aaronpksome podcasts I listen to every episode. others like news podcasts I only care about the latest one since I don't care about last week's news anymore.
#KevinMarksTrue. It's hard to do read tracking in a scrolling view like woodwind, easier with the expanding single line model
#aaronpkis there a tool for previewing how an Atom/RSS feed will appear in readers?
#voxpelliaaronpk: just wanted to fav/like your post – if you want a project for another day, then webactions would be neat ;) Because you have none, right?
#aaronpki still can't quite wrap my head around how that all ties together
#voxpelliboth me and tantek at least have it on our sites – so they can be used as a reference – would love to help if I can
#aaronpkthere's some part of it that still seems like a "hack" to me, like it's taking advantage of a browser feature in a way it wasn't intended and might be removed from browsers because of that
#tantekyes it's a bit of a hack, but that's common with such "working prototypes"
#tantekthe point is to show how a UI like that can / does work, in the hopes of building better ones
#voxpellithe UI should be possible for a browser add-on to extend as well, so one can attack it from both ends
#tantekagreed - voxpelli I think there is work to be done there as Barnaby's add-on hasn't been updated in ages - and modern browsers require add-ons to be submitted etc. for better installation flow / security
#voxpellifeeds shouldn't be viewed in the browser? an XSLT that just shows "open this in a feed reader" would be somewhat neat though
#KartikPrabhui doubt many people consume Atom/RSS by viewing in the browser
#aaronpk"feeds shouldn't be viewed in the browser" lol
#tantekto answer that "why" - because 1) XSLT is a pain, and 2) people into feed files usually don't care as much about making things look nicer (since if they did, they'd likely focus more on the HTML+CSS of their website than the feed files)
#aaronpkbut people *link* to their feeds and then people click those links
#aaronpki opened an xml feed in safari, it popped up a message asking if i wanted to add links from that domain to "shared links" (what is that?!) and when i clicked cancel it launched chrome with the URL of the feed prepended with feed//
#voxpelliI added the time now, pretty good thing to have anyway
#voxpelli(now I just need to setup a service that can give me some reply contexts so that I can stop showing raw URL:s in there and get it to actually look nice)
#tantekgreat, now you have a presentational hook for dt-published and u-url permalink of each post on that page!
