[miklb]so I just hacked together an Alfred workflow so I can star a repo and post a micropub like. But I’d like to figure out how to do it with a syndication target still in the WordPress plugin
tantekseems like a generic "+Follow" webaction, if it has a follow on Twitter fallback, should have text / graphics that indicate that fallback rather than just a generic Follow

[miklb]eddie it’s really basic, just grabs the url of the frontmost browser tab and then uses shpub in shell script to do the micropub part, then I just curl silo.pub to trigger the star.
jeremycherfasMiklb I left a message over in chat, which was a mistake. Would you mind sharing your Alfred workflow? I find studying ones that work a good way to learn.
[miklb]sure. I need to clean it up a little, I want to add a check to make sure it’s grabbing a GitHub url before sending. It is my 1st workflow so can’t be sure it’s the *right* way
[miklb]I definitely think with what I learned about Alfred workflow I could see creating a more robust workflow that does more than just like/star a GitHub repo. Use secondary keywords to bookmark, post a note, etc
jeremycherfasThat was the kind of thing I was thinking about. Given Alfred's ability to store clippings and other things, it would be a useful way to use shpub without having to invoke the Terminal and remember all the details.
[eddie]aaronpk: I was thinking about a couple of things. 1, I was thinking about a slash_command in slack that would list all the users of an irc chat room. 2. I know often times there can be delays between the IRC room and slack and looking at the code I think it's because of the webhooks rather than the RTM api. I'm thinking when I have the time I might investigate adding RTM capability to the gateway.
[eddie]Yeah sometimes it's quite speedy. I think the big thing about hooks is that Slack puts them as a lower priority so depending sometimes there are strange delays
aaronpkone way to help solve that delay is to use the presence API methods to spin up a new IRC user as soon as a slack user becomes active, even before they say anything
[eddie]most definitely. I would say I have a little more incentive to write code for it because I use it often. lol Is the name and pictures look up code in a github project?
aaronpkthe code loqi uses for that isn't open source but essentially it responds to that web hook and returns that payload, and it looks up the profile information from the microformats on the /irc-people page
