skippy
also, i'm not a designer, and i want a text-only website; so finding a reasonably elegant way to display syndicated links (whch for me means mostly just Twitter) is an exercise in frustration. :)

skippy: simple text links are fine too
#
KartikPrabhu
the "use" is that people can reply to the syndicated copy
#
KartikPrabhu
also bridgy can discover the syndicated copy to backfeed those replies
#
skippy
KartikPrabhu: sure, simple text links *work*; but they complicate the display on my site a bit. I'm not yet using Bridgy, so backfeed isn't a driving concern yet.
#
skippy
that is to say: I'm unaware of anyone who would read my original copy of a note who wouldn't also read it (and interact with it) on Twitter.
#
KartikPrabhu
skippy: if they are not useful then don't display them
#
KartikPrabhu
no need to follow "indieweb trends" if they are not useful to you
#
skippy

hrmphf. I can’t get the indiewebcamp SSL cert to work with Firefox.
#
[miklb]
guess I can rule out using FF as my daily browser 😕
#
GWG
Over a cert?
#
KartikPrabhu
[miklb]: which cert? indieweb.org works fine on FF
#
[miklb]
over not wanting to debug FF for something that works in Safari and Chrome (and their dev preview releases)
#
[miklb]
^ is what I use for my local SSL
#
[miklb]
I got as far as finding where I can import a cert, but it doesn’t seem to recognize what macOS keychain exports or the root cert

[miklb]: ive noticed that too! FF seems to have its own idea of trusted roots instead of using my mac's list

Firefox also doesn’t store passwords in the Keychain.

I couldn’t figure it out
#
[miklb]
nothing I tried allowed me to import the certs

[miklb]: hm, I apparently did somehow but now I don't remember
#
[miklb]
Looking at the message, I can loosen the local HSTS so I can add an exception.
#
[miklb]
but I’d prefer to find a solution that doesn’t require that.

I’ll investigate later, want to work on my site today and don’t want to get caught shaving yaks all day.

A good yak shaving is fun

I am contemplating how to make my various post types look good in RSS and other feed readers. Obviously anything that does h-feed shouldn't be a problem

use smaller svg I think would be a good first step. They will scale up, but without the CSS they come through huge

[miklb]
it’s one of the main reasons I switched to my own templates

I was thinking of the text
#
[miklb]
oh 🙂
#
GWG
But did you ever suggest that to me before?
#
[miklb]
I think?

something like it came up recently with someons simple location icon being shown very large in micro.blog?
#
GWG
sknebel: Similar, but not identical settings. But I think I can solve this with Grunt

what is fatwigoo?
#
Loqi
Fatwigoo is an embedded SVG image that depends on (external) CSS for its width https://indieweb.org/Fatwigoo

I have been trying out using in-reply-to to create new posts on special urls in the same way that brid.gy creates new issues on Github
#
pstuifzand
I can now create new issues by writing a reply to the issue url of one of my project pages

I've been looking at Micro.blog as a place to get new interactions.
