#GWGI think if I stare at aaronpk's book and the spec for a few more hours, I might get it.

#GWGI'm still thinking about home page mentions...which are effectively tagging a person, and how they should be displayed or not displayed on my site.
#GWGShould a webmention tag possibly generate a post instead of a reply/comment?
#Ruxtonthe current option of sending them as comments to a page works
#Ruxtonthat gives me the option of privating that page so only I can see it, or not.
#GWGRuxton: It does work. But I'm looking at what I have for that and it isn't necessarily helpful
#Ruxtoncollection of custom posts will default throw them into the blogstream, which they definitely don't belong in
#GWGRuxton: I'm not saying they should be in the blogstream. You are thinking of the WordPress specific implementation. I brought this into the dev room because I want to think bigger
#GWGHere are a few examples of hidden webmentions I got...
#Ruxtonoutside of WP, i see them more as notifications of something
#GWGFrom aaronpk: GWG came by to say hi, with GWG, Post dinner with GWG...
#GWGFrom chrisaldrich, citing me in longform posts...
#RuxtonYeah, I was thinking and I can't think of a use case that's not a notification or linkback for context's sake
#ludovicchabantgood evening indieweb devs! is there anything out there that can monitor a feed, and send webmentions for any new articles it finds there?
#ludovicchabantkinda like an IFTTT for the indieweb basically
#ludovicchabantI'm on my own static website -- currently looking at solutions for sending and receiving webmentions

#tantek!tell gRegorLove perhaps instead of the nxn See Also links from every payment vendor (e.g. Apple Pay, Venmo , Google Wallet) to every other, just have them all See Also to /payment and have that link out to them all?

#[eddie]!tell aaronpk: I installed Watchtower on my server. Imported the schema.sql (which looks like it already incorporates both 0001 and 0002 sql changes. When I load the watchtower url I get a page that says Watchtower.
#[eddie]So I think it’s all working correctly. Users table is blank, so I’m not sure how I add anything to that. Is there a script to add it in? Or do I just manually add my user entry? If it’s manual, are there any requirements for the token key?

#dgoldis there an Idiot's Guide to getting it working?
#dgold<- is certainly an idiot, given the bug he's just triaged in nanopub

#dansupaaronpk: monocle looks interesting! I was working on a gnu/social clone using laravel and bulma before, haven't worked on it in about a year though.
#[eddie]That’s good to know it would be helpful to more than just me. I’ll definitely have to look into it when I get the chance. It would help to replace my use of Instapaper. Right now one of the ways I use Instapaper is by adding things to my queue, and getting a list of the 10 most recent articles to my kindle every morning. So step one is making sure my microsub gets stable, then figuring out a method to add an article to it.
#[eddie]Then it should be pretty easy because it should just be building the microsub reader that allows you to select each channel, set if you want it to send to Kindle, enter how many articles to send and the email it needs to get delivered to. (Of course, then there is fooling around with the kindle format. lol. might be more work then I realize 😆 )
#[eddie]aaronpk: How often do you have your cron.php run in watchtower/
#aaronpkif you make a simple HTML file it'll look good in kindle! I used to send the indienews newsletter via kindle
#aaronpkit should be possible to build a standalone app to do the microsub->kindle service so that the app can fetch it like any other frontend interface and convert stuff to html
#aaronpkthen it'd work with anyone's microsub servers!
#[eddie]I would probably just want a single channel most the time like my “read it later” channel, but I figure allow the person to select whatever channels they want, because who knows how people might want to end up using it
#[eddie]does watchtower.php also need to be running on cron? or is that called automatically?
#aaronpkthat's the part that'll let this scale out to process feeds on any number of servers
#[eddie]lol well you did build it all in like a week or something crazy like that, so you can’t build stuff AND document it at a crazy pace. I’m been jotting some notes in a github issue under watchtower just to have some type of reminder for later documentation.

#[eddie]Nice, converted that watchtower.conf to my first ever systemctl service!

#snarfed[eddie] aaronpk: just fyi, the send-to-kindle service + bookmarklet i use: http://fivefilters.org/kindle-it/ . also has an android app with a share target, which is awesome.
#snarfeddamn. i'd been hoping the new webhook API would let me stop polling twitter in bridgy...but looks like it has a 35 user cap, above which you need an enterprise plan, which i'm guessing comes with enterprise sized pricing :/
#[eddie]aaronpk: two quick questions When using an API key to POST data into monocle, is it just an array of jf2 objects? To create an api key for the notifications channel, do I need to create that channel in monocle? (I think microsub says it always exists in a microsub server)
#aaronpkOh those are separate questions, that took me a minute
#aaronpkWhen you sign in, Monocle will create the Notifications channel so you'll see it when you're logged in
#aaronpkIt creates those two channels as soon as a new user is created
#aaronpkI'm calling it API key in the UI but really it'll work the same as the IndieAuth access token
#[eddie]Okay, yeah I see the notifications channel in together, but notifications doesn’t show up in the UI of monocle. Obviously not urgent, but I’m wondering if you’ll want to add notifications to the monocle UI so an API/access token could be created
#[eddie]That way someone’s webmention endpoint could post to it
#[eddie](not actual notifications to monocle, just the channel reference)

#[eddie]Last question for the evening 😉 Where are the storage files located for monocle? I looked in storage/app/public but it’s empty? Wondering if that should be concerning.
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#[eddie]oh, nevermind. Looks like it’s being stored in mysql
#tantekI'm posting at most daily on average (in bursts)
#tantekI have it down to about 2 minutes of "extra" work tops (editing the markup by hand) if I'm in front of my laptop.
#tantekaccording to that chart, if I shave off 1 min, I can spend at most *one day* building support for a posting UI. if I save 5 minutes then 6 days (not sure how that math works but ok).
#tantekso maybe 2-3 days? that's an interesting coding constraint, and nevermind actually designing the UI and iterating on it
#tantekI think a big part of what would motivate me to build/iterate a working UI is getting the do/undo flow that I want (that pretty much nothing has except the Gmail "undo send" feature)
#tantekbecause that would be ground-breaking in terms of blog/CMS posting UIs, and thus has the additional value of providing an indieweb example of something that is noticeably a better experience than any silo
#tantekhard to quantify the value of that, especially if others are able to build on the design etc.

#snarfedsome CMSes have pretty good simple, UX for past revisions and "restore this" buttons
#snarfednot quite what you want, but sometimes close
