If a `bookmarkof` property is there (or any other `somethingof`), the Like plugin will overwrite the body with it here: https://github.com/idno/Known/blob/03c1d7d0da2e9449b98ffdfb95617477c74501c5/IdnoPlugins/Like/Like.php#L144-L147

After that the creation of the post is handed off to the saveDataFromInput method of the post type plugin,for the Like plugin: https://github.com/idno/Known/blob/03c1d7d0da2e9449b98ffdfb95617477c74501c5/IdnoPlugins/Like/Like.php#L118

Wonderful. Thanks. I may have got some interest from @mapcyka

#
Zegnat
The description value seems fine in the Like plugin, there is just no way to set it through the Micropub endpoint (I think)
#
jeremycherfas
That was the general conclusion we came to before.
#
Zegnat
You are probably able to post a description value in the Micropub request. I haven’t tested that. But that would be counter to Micropub and not be compatible with any other endpoint.
#
Zegnat
There are definitely several people who would love to see better Micropub in Known, so if you got their attention, do feel free to rope in other people for assistance ;)
#
jeremycherfas
It doesn't work with either micropub or with using the bookmark API
#
jeremycherfas
I've given some details of the request and the results. Now, thanks to your help, I can flesh out what is happening. I couldn't remember the details.

Gonna have to hack it for now. In the migrations, find anything that says varchar(512) and change it to varchar(256)
#
aaronpk
Pre MySQL 5.7, index sizes were limited, and since this is a utf8mb4 database to support emoji, the 512 char column is actually 2048 bytes
#
dgold
so change all the 512s to 256s?

(twitter.com/_/status/961593508565082117)
#
aaronpk
dgold: yeah that should work
#
dgold
isn't varchar(256) smaller than varchar(512) - one header byte and...
#
aaronpk
Because it's utf8mb4 it's actually 4x the bytes but the indexer caps out at 767 bytes so the limit is actually 767/4
#
aaronpk
Oh yeah 256 might not work... might need to do 190. The other fix is the limit the index to only the first 767 bytes but I don't think there's a syntax in the ORM for doing that so you have to do it manually
#
aaronpk
The other fix is to update to MySQL 5.7 :-)
#
dgold
huh. i might do that - although this is 'mysql' aka MariaDB

Yeah I use mariadb too

#
[gerwitz]
[tantek] do you have opinions on whether autolinking (or embedding) should be applied at author time, or view time?
#
[gerwitz]
(I always lean toward author time, but links and rules get outdated)
#
tantek
gerwitz interesting. for such "automatic" things, I lean towards "view time" to 1. preserve precisely what was authored (rather than automatically implied), and 2. assuming that the "autolink" software may be updated for fixes or to autolink more things in the future
#
tantek
I have observed that Twitter however applies autolinking at publish time, and thus we are able to see a history of when Twitter started autolinking things
#
tantek
*which things
#
tantek
and changes to their autolinking algorithms
#
[gerwitz]
indeed, I’ve been scrubbing my history of tweets and can see when they started recognizing @replies, etc.
#
[gerwitz]
but for those of us who insist on static site servers, view-time means client-side which is icky in other ways
#
tantek
these are good points
#
[gerwitz]
Meh. Autolinking is sugar, so I think I will deal with that and let the browser do it. After all, it kind of feels like something a mature browser should be doing for you, with user preferences.
#
tantek
I think the points you bring up are worthy of capturing for additional discussion
#
[gerwitz]
(this convinced me, because where a hashtag links to feels like a user preference: https://gist.github.com/thealscott/2829002 )
#
tantek
could you add a section on /autolink perhaps "view time or publish time" ?
#
[gerwitz]
I’m genuinely surprised we’ve made it to 2018 without a standard for configuring these things.

for URLs, doing it client-side means no webmention sending for them
#
[gerwitz]
good point. I already am in a jam around this because I have an asynchronous publishing pipeline.
#
sknebel
right, you mentioned having to wait for cloudfront rollout?
#
[gerwitz]
yeup. I’ve shortened the time enough that it works for me as a user. (In fact, I *like* that it takes more than 60 seconds from me hitting “post” to it existing on the web. It reduces the temptation to tweetstorm.)
#
[gerwitz]
but, still, it’s async
sebsel joined the channel
#
[gerwitz]
I may go hybrid and detect at “build” time that recognizable data exists, and mark it up for handling client-side. Sending webmentions might be facilitated with a “mentions” feed that another service consumes and uses to ping
#
sknebel
yeah, if there is a good bound on the time until a page is available you could just delay sending webmentions

Syndication targets aren't showing up for me in Indigenous.

Can you open up settings -> debug info and copy and paste that info into a DM, email or github issue?

That should potentially help shed some light :crossed_fingers:
#
jackjamieson
snarfed: Does bridgy do two passes when fetching posts then? i.e. first find permalinks in the h-feed, then parse each permalink individually?
#
snarfed
heh thanks [cleverdevil]. also see https://brid.gy/about#link
#
snarfed
(as an optimization, it remembers if it's seen synd links in a given feed before, and skips the permalink fetches for that feed)
#
snarfed
jackjamieson: out of curiosity, why do you care about synd links in a reader? do you render them yourself?
#
jackjamieson
I render them in the feed, but truthfully they're not a high priority. I've been including them as a matter of completion (and I guess I find it interesting to see where people are syndicating)

To further answer [eddie]'s question about what I've struggled with (that microsub might help solve), generally I've found normalizing data to be a challenge. But much of that might be resolved for now. Probably I need to spend a bit more time with the microsub spec to understand it better
#
[eddie]
Ahh, that makes sense, jackjamieson. From the front-end perspective microsub definitely helps normalize data. I am NOT a great person at data manipulation, so it has made it incredibly easier to build Indigenous depending on a microsub server.
#
[eddie]
That said, there is only one alpha testing mode Mirosub server (called Aperture), so we definitely need more Microsub servers that handle the normalization
#
[eddie]
Since your project is currently handling both aspects of Microsub (parsing and viewing the feeds), your project is in a unique place where if you have resolved the majority of issues you’ve come across it might be more useful to have Yarn support the Microsub server capabilities.
#
[eddie]
It would give you a standard normalization to attempt to store your data as, and would allow people who use your plugin to essentially host their microsub data in Wordpress
#
snarfed
interesting project idea: microsub wrappers around existing feed fetching services: superfeedr, feedly, newsblur, etc
#
[eddie]
That’s a very interesting idea snarfed!
#
snarfed
all i think about is bridges, evidently 😂
#
jackjamieson
Bridges are useful things :)
benwerd joined the channel
#
[eddie]
Hmmm how would authentication work on those? I guess it would be like Bridgy where you log in via IndieAuth, and then into the thing such as feedly to connect the two
#
snarfed
oh no i don't expect individual users would ever see or auth into the feed fetching service, just the wrapper
#
snarfed
eg bridgy uses superfeedr, but bridgy users don't know or care
#
jackjamieson
[eddie] that's a good idea. I expect I'd have a fair bit of work to do to further improve my normalization, but I like the idea of being able to support other clients. I have some other goals to figure out first, but it's worth considering
#
[eddie]
Feedly is a personal feed storage service, though right?
#
snarfed
yes, but afaik also a feed fetching service for developers
#
[eddie]
jackjamieson: Definitely want to get your priorities taken care of first.
#
[eddie]
ohhhh gotcha
ScalaWilliam joined the channel
#
[eddie]
snarfed: I was imagining essentially a Microsub endpoint that allows you to get feeds from Feedly in a Microsub client rather than behind the scenes fetching. But apprently Feedly’s API only works for the $18/month Pro user
#
[eddie]
If people were willing to pay $18/month for Microsub, we might as well just build a pay to host service rather than build a Feedly wrapper. lol

I have an Inoreader2microsub bridge on my list of projects, as soon as I have time for something like that and read-state is specified
#
snarfed
[eddie]: sure, i can see both alternatives
#
snarfed
1) connect to existing user accounts on existing feed reader services. requires user login, etc. the service still owns each user's feeds, read status, etc.
#
snarfed
2) just use services as plumbing, for fetching feeds etc. the wrapper owns user data.
#
snarfed
(for 2, for feedly, the microsub wrapper would pay, and that cost would be amortized across all users)
#
[eddie]
That makes sense
#
Zegnat
“microsub wrappers around existing feed fetching services” – I was even thinking the other way around, bridge Microsub to Fever API. So I could try running Aperture yet keep using my current RSS reader.

Fever was a "standard" ?
#

I guess the API became a standard-by-emulation, if that can be said to be a thing.
#
KartikPrabhu
aah the Fever API is different
#
Zegnat
The API readers could use to communicate with a Fever server got implemented by several readers and subsequently also implemented/emulated by different servers.
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah, like a closed-source, non-open microsub
#
dgold
I found four aggregators in the space of those few minutes on github, I'm pretty sure there are others
#
[kevinmarks]
Google reader api was like that too
#
Zegnat
The Old Reader, I think, emulates the Google Reader API still. But most servers seem to have moved away from that one. At least the ones I have seen in the last couple of years.
#
dgold
stays schtum on the Old Reader people, on the basis that I was thought if you can't say something nice, then say nothing.
#
Zegnat
In as far as documentation is ever “closed-source, non-open”, yes. KartikPrabhu. But as Fever reached feature completion a while ago, I do not think the API actually got changed much if at all. So it was pretty safe to implement/emulate it.
#
dgold
the nice thing about the API is that it can spit json at you, or xml if you're really _hardcore_

:( I have microsub provider working - I have the header in my site's html

dgold
however, nothing shows on Indigenous, and when I try to follow the link in the header, I get {error: unauthorized}
#
dgold
what have I missed?
#
Zegnat
following the link in a browser I think is logical to give an unauthorized error. It probably requires an Authorization header with a token.
#
Zegnat
Maybe you need to reauthorise with Indigenous? I expect the token it uses needs to have certain microsub scopes, and it may not have requested those first time ’round?
#
Zegnat
is guessing here
#
dgold
ahhh. there's nothing showing because there are no entries to any of the feeds I added

#

I guess really the most important part is when the post is embedded in the author’s site. Meaning my site should recognize the media fragment and include the media with the time stamp

aaronpk
I do want to have something like soundcloud comments on my site at some point

all the pieces are there with webmention and media fragments. it's mostly a UI challenge.
