kaushalmodi Regarding https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2018-03-28/1522219621938400, should u-url be added to the h-entry inside h-feed?
#
Loqi [[kaushal_modi]] I'll add that tomorrow. May be http://microformats.org/wiki/h-feed should be updated with that info?
#
aaronpk not sure of the full context, but yes in general each h-entry in an h-feed should include u-url of its permalink
#
KartikPrabhu or a u-uid
#
kaushalmodi aaronpk: Sorry pasted the wrong context: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2018-03-28/1522219316854200
#
Loqi [mblaney] the only reason I mentioned your h-feed is that I tried subscribing to it in my reader and it didn't display any posts because there were no u-url's on the h-entry's.
#
kaushalmodi mblaney is unable to fetch the h-entry posts from h-feed
#
kaushalmodi mblaney: I now have h-feed > h-entry > u-url. Does the feed fetching now work better?
#
kaushalmodi meta question.. how is each user's handle hyperlinked to their domain? (I see those hyperlinked handles on chat.indieweb.org). How do I associate my handle to my domain?

@kevinmarks ↩️ Posting on your own site, POSSEd to twitter and using http://brid.gy to turn the replies on twitter into webmentions works rather well - not sure if it catches replies to replies though #Indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/979627929213652992)

#
@marcthiele ↩️ Nothing special and exactly what is written in the bridgy documentation. One line of code in the header and then one line to integrate the webmentions below your post (plus the styling you want to use of course) (twitter.com/_/status/979670824516014080)

#
[kaushal_modi] mblaney: Thanks for the test! The only thing remaining is the p-name parsing now. Zegnat++ and aaronpk++ have updated the php-mf2 library to support HTML5 too. The pin13.net/mf2 site has also be updated to use the updated library and so now https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscripter.co parses the p-name in h-feed correctly.
#

#
aaronpk good question. there isn't a mechanism for that right now. it kind of assumes clients are "dumb" and only cache the data they get from the microsub server.
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] Speaking of microsub... I was visiting [snarfed] in SF earlier this week, and got into a discussion about some things I'd like to be able to add to Together, [aaronpk].
#
[cleverdevil] One thing I'd love is the ability to show interactions (replies, reposts, likes, etc.) on items in the timeline.
#
aaronpk absolutely
#
[cleverdevil] Was curious if you have any early thoughts about that?
#
aaronpk yeah sorta, just decided to bump that down on the priority list in order to get something out the door
#
[cleverdevil] I was thinking it'd be good for Microsub to make it clear to readers whether or not a particular item has interactions (or even supports interactions).
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk the "easy" version is the microsub server should fetch the permalinks of the posts and check if the posts are reporting any comments/likes/etc
#
[cleverdevil] It seems to me that the reader should likely be able to ask the Microsub server to fetch the latest interactions on-demand.
#
aaronpk but I skipped fetching post permalinks entirely for the first version of Aperture in order to speed up development
#
[cleverdevil] It wouldn't be a very good experience if interactions were only updated as items are fetched in the normal update mechanisms.
#
[cleverdevil] Makes sense.
#
aaronpk yeah I want to think through how I want to implement that sort of on-demand fetching before jumping in
#
aaronpk i'm worried about making a quick decision that I regret later
#
[cleverdevil] nods
#
[cleverdevil] Good to know you've been thinking about it 🙂
#
[cleverdevil] And, fair warning, I'm starting to think about how to do private information sharing!
#
aaronpk nice
#
aaronpk I found a draft wiki page about the authentication bit of that the other day
#
[cleverdevil] Was thinking it might be cool to be able to share via syndicate-to.
#
[cleverdevil] So that people could create channels in their microsub servers that can be published to via micropub.
#
[cleverdevil] Does that make sense?
#
aaronpk not sure how that relates to syndicate-to
#
aaronpk aperture channels are already micropub endpoints :D
#
sknebel huh, same error in monocle
#
sknebel I must be missing something
#
[cleverdevil] So, the idea would be that when I publish something, I could make it private in my website, but toggle syndication to a friend or family member's microsub server.
#
aaronpk oh funny
#
aaronpk I hadn't considered writing to channels as something that could be done by other people
#
[cleverdevil] I like it conceptually, but the downside is that you'd have to have syndicate-to defined for all "friends".
#
[cleverdevil] Which is sort of... not ideal 🙂
#
aaronpk yeah probably doesn't make sense with the literal syndicate-to UI
#
aaronpk conceptually that actually sounds a lot like activitypub
#
[cleverdevil] nods
#
[cleverdevil] Yeah, probably right.
#
aaronpk the more webby version of that is that you create either a separate feed where posts to friends-only show up and it requires authentication to view, or your main feed shows additional items when fetched with authentication
#
[cleverdevil] Yeah, I am trying to avoid requiring a bunch of changes to CMSes to allow them to participate
#
aaronpk hm, well using syndicate-to will likely also require CMS changes
#
aaronpk this is my latest attempt at that sort of server-to-server authentication for fetching private feeds https://indieweb.org/server-indieauth
#
sknebel aahh, found it. apparently uid's can't just be plain URLs, they have to be urlencoded...
#
aaronpk sknebel: hm the value should be allowed to be a URL
#
aaronpk but you'd need to urlencode it in requests of course
#
sknebel well, neither together nor monocle can deal with that
#
aaronpk hm that's not good
#

#
tantek from #indieweb - aaronpk prompting me about my indie event posts
#
sknebel aaronpk: hm, not so easy right now. I can make a dummy that shows the problem if you want, but it seems pretty clear that uid's with slashes in them are the problem
#
tantek since my event posts are cloned (codewise) from my article posts, they support full arbitrary markup in the e-content
#
aaronpk sknebel: okay guess I can try tweaking aperture to include slashes then
#
tantek by convention I include venues by mf2 markup inside the e-content
#
tantek e.g. <a class="u-location h-card" href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/SF">Mozilla San Francisco</a>
#
Loqi Mozilla San Francisco
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
tantek I realized I didn't need venue support myself, as long as I could link to a canonical venue page
#
tantek that's how I was able to postpone venue support of my own
#
tantek and then I hacked up the venue equivalent of a nicknames cache, keyed by venue URL
#
tantek and mapped to e.g. Twitter @-name equivalent
#
tantek and then I wrote custom POSSE to Twitter code for my indie events that posts an semi-structured event summary to Twitter, with the venue @-name serving as a convenient text-readable @-venue = "at venue"
#
tantek e.g. https://twitter.com/t/status/879242196284735488
#
@t Event: Homebrew Website Club SF At: 2017-06-28 17:30 @MozSF More: http://tantek.com/e/4p51 (twitter.com/_/status/879242196284735488)
#
aaronpk I like including more info about the venue than just the name, like the address, in order to have a map show up
#
tantek which I later changed from "More: " to "RSVP: " once I was able to accept and show RSVPs
radedwork joined the channel
#
aaronpk and entering all that info by hand each time is too much work
#
tantek aaronpk, in my approach, I would add that to my venue cache
#
tantek along side the venue's @-name, the address
#
aaronpk yeah, I need a venue cache :)
#
tantek hmm I should totally do that
#
tantek my cache is pretty small now so it's just a PHP array constant in my POSSEing code
#
tantek *venue cache
#
tantek aaronpk, so that's how I got away with it minimally, just a URL field for venue for me to manually enter, and then the rest is automatic from the code
#
tantek right now it's not a big deal to manually add one entry at a time every time I post an indie event for a new (first time for me) venue
#
tantek I need a map view in my events for sure
#
tantek that's been an itch for a while
#
tantek hmm I wonder if I can code that by next week
#
aaronpk oh damn, I didn't notice that silopub truncated my tweet last night
#
aaronpk it counted wrong since both quill and twitter said there were 5 chars left
#
sknebel aaronpk: there is a dummy server for your testing purposes running at http://svenknebel.de:8089/microsub (accepts any token), I can send you the code too
#
aaronpk oh thanks
peterlawson[m] and [miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb] I’ve been out of the loop for the past week or so, is there a websub server yet that’s open to accounts for using a client with?
[cleverdevil], KevinMarks and eli_oat joined the channel
#
tantek oooh I wonder if indie events POSSEd to Twitter should stash the event lat/long into the tweet location
#
tantek thoughts?
#
tantek I mean, if I'm tracking this info, might as well put it there right?
#
sknebel [miklb]: I think for now the protocol is still "ask nicely here and hope someone gives you an account", there is no officially open server
#
aaronpk sknebel: thanks! I think I fixed it
#
aaronpk I forgot that I was using the channel UID as a path component of the URL in monocle
#
GWG aaronpk, worth implementing venue support as a Micropub server extension?
#
aaronpk GWG: yeah i'm hoping to, not sure where that falls on my priority queue tho
#
sknebel GWG: yeah, lookups like that have been proposed a few times but I don't know any implementation (tags, nicknames, venues are the ones that come to mind)
#
tantek aaronpk, what's better to put in a venue cache? address (street, locality, region), or latlong?
#
aaronpk both really
#
sknebel why not both?
#
aaronpk address for human-readable, latlong to be able to easily put a dot on a map
#
aaronpk converting latlng to address is ambiguous at best, and converting an address to latlng is expensive (sometimes actual money)
#
tantek aaronpk, what is the use case for each?
#
tantek if it's just map/directions display (ala /event ) then address is sufficient right?
#
tantek what does the tweet API need or can take for location info?
#
aaronpk pretty sure twitter accepts lat/lng only
#
aaronpk i like showing a map preview on my website, so i need to either store the latlng, or generate the map once from the address lookup and store the image
#
tantek aaronpk I've seen tweets with named venues though
#
tantek which they seem to get from the Foursquare API
#
tantek hmm I want some simple code to generate a map view
#
aaronpk they use place_id or lat/lng or both
#
aaronpk https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-update
#
aaronpk easy maps: https://atlas.p3k.io/map/img?marker[]=lat:45.5165;lng:-122.6764;icon:small-blue-cutout&basemap=gray&width=600&height=240&zoom=14
#
tantek is the place_id the *foursquare* place_id? or do they map to some internal place_id?
#
aaronpk if you want a JS map take a look at leaflet, they have some pretty simple code
strugee joined the channel
#
tantek yeah that might be easiest / least impactful serverside in terms of perf
#
tantek and fallback to a Google maps link in case of NoJS
#
tantek which I believe are fairly easily constructable
#
aaronpk https://www.google.com/maps?q=45.5112,-122.6433
#
tantek I mean from the address
#
aaronpk i think q works with an address too
#
aaronpk yep
#
tantek I dislike lat long for Google maps links because to human in cities it's often ambiguous
#
tantek especially in multifloor buildings
#
tantek in fact IMO Google maps links with a lat long are a bit of a UI anti-pattern
#
aaronpk agreed

tantek what3words sounds proprietary though
#
tantek also horribly English-centric goodness sakes
#
kaushalmodi One last thing about + codes: *if* you use Google Maps, you can long press on any location (Android app at least) to get that point's plus code
#
kaushalmodi very useful when coordinating with friends in an unknown city
#
snarfed skippy: yup welcome to the twitter API
#
sknebel tantek: what3words is in 22 languages already, so they are thinking aobut that
#
snarfed granary handles all that. also auto links them in its output HTML, as well as @-mentions, hashtags, etc
#
aaronpk xray can do that too in case you want another option :)
#
snarfed diversity++ yes!
#
Loqi diversity has 2 karma in this channel (5 overall)
#
aaronpk you can pass XRay tweet JSON and it'll give you a nice microformats2 JSON object

sknebel (although it is 22 different dictionaries, not one that's directly translateable in all 22 languages)
#
skippy is xray standalone for this? i thought xray was a library
#
tantek sknebel: indeed - it would have been more interesting if they had treated it like a chance for a modern multilingual rosetta stone
#
sknebel skippy: xray is an API and a library. so you can run an xray server, or use aaronpks one, and query that, or integrate it into a PHP program

snarfed skippy: sure! busy right now but i can reply async

snarfed short answer is, copy [cleverdevil]'s https://gist.github.com/cleverdevil/f33530706d6e8dacd13a8bd8e8c15dba

aaronpk google is shutting down goo.gl, but thankfully keeping all the URLs alive https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/03/transitioning-google-url-shortener.html

sknebel can you post the full stacktrace somewhere?

#
sknebel ugh, do they seriously use a different format than in the API for the export?
#
radedwork wow firebase dynamic links sound like a principal of least surprise disaster
#
radedwork principle* (I can English good)

#
gRegorLove what is goo.gl?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "goo.gl" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "goo.gl is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
skippy sknebel: these are from 2009, likely they changed a lot along the way, and never applied the new formats to the old data.
#
gRegorLove goo.gl is Google's URL shortener that is shutting down 2018-04-13, though all existing short URLs will continue to redirect https://developers.googleblog.com/2018/03/transitioning-google-url-shortener.html
#
Loqi ok
#
loqi.me created /goo.gl (+233) "prompted by gRegorLove and dfn added by gRegorLove" (view diff)

[kevinmarks] I went through a lot of this geo stuff earlier this week. Leaflet is very easy, and has a great choice of image tile sources. What3words is worse in every way than geo urls. If you want a good name to lat long service or vice versa use foursquare

#
[snarfed] skippy: ugh yeah, try with a newer export
snarfed, renem and tomasparks joined the channel
#
skippy snarfed: this is an export from today. the posts are from 2009.
#
skippy i could always try to massage the created_at date in the object before feeding it to tweet_to_object, I suppose...
[Vanessa] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] The pre 2009 dates are broken in the export . You may be able to fix them by looking up the tweet I'd at twitter
leg and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
snarfed ah ok skippy. interesting. thanks [kevinmarks]!
snarfed and [miklb] joined the channel
#
skippy oh, interesting. even the tweets from 2018 in this export have the same date format as the 2009 ones: "created_at" : "2018-03-01 14:24:51 +0000",
#
snarfed yeah and the API always returns "Tue Mar 21 20:50:14 +0000 2006" , both pre and post 2009 (ie ctime format)
#
snarfed so the export may be a different format entirely than API
#
snarfed i have an old export from 2013, looking now
#
snarfed skippy: are they still in data/js/tweets/YYYY_MM.js files?
#
snarfed looks like they are normal API objects, only the dates are different. weird.
#
skippy snarfed: yes
#
[kevinmarks] The old ones are all at midnight iirc
#
skippy yes; and the date has dashes instead of spaces as expected by Granary
#
snarfed skippy: yup, api format: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/tweet-object#tweet-dictionary
#
[kevinmarks] https://github.com/kevinmarks/kevin-marks.com/blob/master/web/tweets/data/js/tweets/2006_12.js is extra ironic there
#
snarfed confirmed, only the dates are different, everything else works. i can whip up a fix now
#
skippy sweet. thanks!

#
snarfed ok skippy, i've pushed the fix. try reinstalling with pip install -e git+git@github.com:snarfed/oauth-dropins.git#egg=granary
#
snarfed ( https://github.com/snarfed/granary/commit/02e86f0ebbdec80041dbfc8163eb323a3f22200b )
#
snarfed (tested locally)
#
skippy same error...
#
snarfed odd. feel free to post one tweet from your archive and i can double check
#
snarfed oh sorry, that pip install was wrong
#
skippy Obtaining granary from git+git@github.com:snarfed/oauth-dropins.git#egg=granary Cloning git@github.com:snarfed/oauth-dropins.git to ./src/granary Running setup.py (path:/Users/smerrill/Downloads/twitter/src/granary/setup.py) egg_info for package granary produced metadata for project name oauth-dropins. Fix your #egg=granary fragments.
#
snarfed right, heh. try pip install -e git+git@github.com:snarfed/granary.git#egg=granary
#
skippy thought i did...
#
snarfed slightly different cmd
#
snarfed s/oauth-dropins/granary/
#
skippy huzzah!
#
skippy it worked. Thank you!
#
snarfed yay! welcome!
#
Loqi does a happy dance!

aaronpk sknebel: out of curiosity, why did you end up using URLs for the channel uids?
#
aaronpk hm something's going wrong with my granary jsonfeed conversion again
#
aaronpk it's adding a title for my notes which have the <br> whitespace removed
EmreSokullu, [miklb] and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] ruh roh. about to get in the car, but feel free to fill an issue!
#
sknebel aaronpk: I'm not using urls strictly, but inoreader uses something that looks like a URL path as their id's for channels
#
sknebel and I wanted to just pass these through
#
aaronpk ah okay
#
sknebel dealing with feeds that are not in channels is something I'll have to figure out, not sure what I want to do there. either synthesize a catchall channel, or turn each of them into their own channel. UI and model just don't match up, at least with the microsub readers we have now
