#[eddie]!tell aaronpk: I did some brainstorming on how I might replace Instapaper with Indigenous/Aperture. When you get a chance let me know if my thinking here: https://github.com/EdwardHinkle/indigenous-ios/issues/100 matches up with Aperture’s approach. I know read/unread isn’t available yet, but I’m wondering if the rest will work?
#ZegnatIIRC: aaronpk wanted to use the name Monocle for a reading application again (as it was used before), so he renamed the WebSub implementation to Aperture to free up the name again.
#dgoldhas anyone managed to get that running, other than aaronpk?
#grantcodesdgold Zegnat not me, just been using it hosted for now
#Loqigrantcodes: aaronpk left you a message 1 day, 21 hours ago: I'm doing something drastic and renaming the server that is currently at monocle.p3k.io, so you'll need to update your microsub link tags to point to the new address: aperture.p3k.io.
#aaronpkcompass is Lumen, which they merged with Laravel one version later. Lumen was supposed to be an API-focused version of Laravel, before Laravel had some features needed for an "API" vs website
#aaronpkat some point i'm gonna need to switch compass over to Laravel proper
#aaronpkbut keep in mind that running Aperture (and Watchtower) is gonna be a bit of a cat and mouse game for now, since i'm reserving the right to make drastic changes to both of them in the immediate future.
#aaronpkthat's one of the reasons I haven't written up any installation instructions on it yet. it's very much a work in progress

#[eddie]dgold: it was fairly easy to install. I think the only thing that should make you hesitate is the fact that aaronpk is in active development and things can happen (like an app’s name change 😉)
#[eddie]If I wasn’t actively developing Indigenous as a Microsub reader I’d probably have held off. But if I’m gonna be working on a Microsub reader I figured I’d go ahead and run my own instance of the server
#[eddie]That said, for an early build, Aperture is pretty stable
#[eddie]I do all my reading in Indigenous and Aperture
benwerd, [hans] and [miklb] joined the channel
#[miklb]that really might be the impetus for me to get another iPad eddie
#[eddie]Not that great. It’s like a blown up iPhone
#[eddie]Which is really funny since that is what everyone claimed the iPad would be 😆
#[eddie]I am hoping to do a couple simple changes, like put the channels on the left, and the timeline on the right
#[eddie]The share sheet especially feels weird, but I’m not sure what to do with it yet. Might just make it a centered modal instead of a full-width bottom drawer
#[eddie]I always run the TestFlight beta on my iPad and my latest dev copy on my iPhone, that way I get to experience what everyone else is experiencing while still testing out new changes
#aaronpkbtw [eddie] i'm pushing up a change for Aperture to make it actually verify the scopes of tokens. forgot that was still a todo :P
#aaronpk[eddie]: what happens if I add another micropub account in Indigenous? does it let me choose which account to reply from or something?
snarfed1, snarfed, benwerd and [eddie] joined the channel
#[eddie]awesome 🙂 I’ll have to pull in the Aperture changes, haven’t updated Monocle recently
#[eddie]As far as multiple micropub accounts, it needs some refining but this is the current behavior:
#[eddie]If in the reader, it replies with the micropub account connected with the same identity as the microsub account the reader is using
#[eddie]If in the share sheet, at the bottom of the share sheet it provides an “account” item that when clicked allows you to change the account. You want to change the account before you click the “Reply” button
#[eddie]I think I need to actually add an “Account” button to the actual Posting/Reply interface
#aaronpkhm pull to refresh doesn't seem to work inside a channel
#aaronpkif I go back out and back in then the post appears
#[eddie]Hmm, I haven’t been able to test that very much because I don’t know when new posts appear, although logically it should work. I definitely need to figure out how to test that
#aaronpkwell I just made a new secret thing you can use to test it

#dgoldaaronpk: so, aperture requires 'watchtower' as an API-able service?
#aaronpkyeah, watchtower is the part that actually does the feed fetching
#dgoldoh, _your_ Watchtower, i really should have guessed
#aaronpkPHP using League frameworks. Setup should be similar to Aperture tho
#aaronpkComposer install and point the web server at the “public” folder
#aaronpkNo fancy DB migrations, the schema is in a file
#aaronpkI *might* end up rolling that all back into Aperture tho, we’ll see
#aaronpkOr I might go the opposite direction and make it something that can b run on google app engine so that it’s easier to scale
#tantekjust realized, Twitter's new 280 chars, and their autolinking of all domains (including naked pathless ccTLDs) means POSSE tweets with permashortlinks are limited to 256 chars exactly! (280-23-1)
#@RichGriese@aaronpk what about getting Twitter to buy into Webmentions? They could implement it system wide, so that anyone that tweets with a URL could show up as a comment on that's domains Webmentions. It would be appeal to Twitter cause it would be their competition to FB comments. (twitter.com/_/status/960956228775051264)

#Loqi[marinaglancy] #148 Use IDNA2008 for converting domains to ASCII
#ZegnatLast release was in June. The README actually tells people to pin against dev-master at the moment.
#tantekalright, gotta run, now to see how long moderation approval takes - someone want to check/reload https://dri.es/to-pesos-or-to-posse every 30 min or so to see how long comments take to show up?
#snarfeddo you mean literally, use the silo domain as the trusted intermediary? i'm guessing not...?
#snarfedi can definitely imagine a vouch extension that uses silo APIs to fetch followings/followers and use that to bootstrap vouch networks, but i'm guessing that's not what you mean either
#tanteksnarfed I mean literally using the POSSE copy permalink as the Vouch URL, and one of the methods of "accepting" a vouch, especially from someone you've never heard of before, is by confirming original post discovery and that they have connected their post to a silo copy
#tantekfurthermore you can check to see if their silo account's "web site" field passes rel=me verification
#tantekall ways of establishing this is a more "verified" person / post
#aaronpkso, not based on any connection to you then?
#snarfedinteresting, yeah. very different in spirit
#tanteksort of - the silo is the connection to you
#tantekthe implication is that their link to the POSSE copy is using the silo (which you presumably POSSE to as well), including threading with your POSSE copy
#aaronpkoh so it still does rely on you having mentioned them on the silo at one point?
#tantekit just depends on you and them both treating the silo as a trusted intermediary as in a silo that is good at banning / blocking abusive accounts
#tantekoriginally my social model for Vouch was the "trust someone you invited to a party to also bring a +1" scenario
#tantekand this is expanding to more of a financial intermediary analogy, where instead of having a social trust intermediary, there is some form of instituional trust intermediary
#snarfedsilo account signup as trusted intermediary...could work
AngeloGladding joined the channel
#snarfedi like the additional possible step of using the actual silo friend graph and looking for an indirect connection
#snarfedother signals too, e.g. age of the sio account
#tantekwhat inspired this Vouch thought was the fact that @Dries replied to my posse Tweet reply but hasn't yet approved my manual copy of the comment on his own blog post!
#gRegorLoveInteresting, tantek. I kinda like it. /OPD could be a tricky task if there isn't a permalink in the POSSE copy. I don't usually link back to my original in my POSSE copy, unless it's truncated.
#tantekhence you only have to do it for what appear to be silo permalink URLs in the vouch param
#tantekthough actually you do want to do OPD for every webmention comment you receive, so you prefer the original instead of a POSSE copy when displaying / linking on your original
#gRegorLoveWith me, you'd have to check my homepage linked from Twitter, wouldn't find the note there, follow the rel=feed found on that page, then find it in my notes stream.
#aaronpkright now I dedupe if I get a webmention from Bridgy and the original
#gRegorLoveAnd it'd have to be in the latest 20 notes on my notes stream; wouldn't expect to start paginating to find it :)
#aaronpkBut no proactive crawling for the original. That sounds hard
#snarfed...and many people only show synd links on post pages, not feeds, so for them you'd have to fetch every post permalink in the feed page
