# [keithjgrant] !tell manton I’d love to help by implementing alt text in Omnibear. Image support is one of my next to-dos and alt text seems an essential part of that to me.

# [keithjgrant] Oh, that discussion was only about form encoded? Is the json structure for alt already figured out?
# [keithjgrant] Hey, Quill supports alt text! For some reason I thought this was still an un-addressed problem

# [keithjgrant] Gotcha
# [keithjgrant] Hey, any static site folks around? Do you do anything for image hosting? I've got mine working, but I'm concerned adding too many images to my git repo will eventually slow it down too much.
# [keithjgrant] I've had that problem with images in git before
# [keithjgrant] (specifically images posted via micropub)
# [keithjgrant] Ooh, interesting. I’d forgotten about that
# [keithjgrant] Will my micropub server need to be aware of lfs, or can it just continue to use the repo as normal?

# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "reasoning for not using json for requests with alt text" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "reasoning for not using json for requests with alt text is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# tantek___ sknebel, "no data about if it's actually an issue", are you doubting there are micropub clients and/or servers that only support form-encoded requests? that seems like a reasonable assumption based on folks implementing only as much as they need for their use-case, and there are simple post-only use-cases

# [schmarty] [keithjgrant] I am late to the git lfs discussion but I will the result of my personal experience with it was noooooooooooooooo
# [schmarty] I ended up replacing it with a micropuedoa endpoint that is essentially a dumb file store. plus my templates wrap those image section URLs to a self-hosted instance of (willnorriss’s?) imageproxy to handle resizing and orientation
[keithjgrant] joined the channel
# [keithjgrant] Uh oh. Why not?
# [schmarty] I was self hosting my git stuff at the time I set it up and it was fine, but I moved away from wanting to manage images all in my compile step
# [keithjgrant] I host my images, but I serve them by proxy through Cloudinary for optimization/resizing. It's slick
# [schmarty] git lfs hosting is not as much a “given” as other git hosting, and usually requires a separate http credential method than ssh keys
# [schmarty] E.g. GitHub has pretty low limits on free LFS hosting. And each checkout requires extra setup to get at the actual media files
# [schmarty] Eventually I decided it was worth treating as a totally separate kind of content and let the micropub media endpoint be the abstraction line
# [schmarty] I am interested in playing with cloudinary or similar!
# [keithjgrant] What's your micropub server?
# [schmarty] My media endpoint is /Spano
# [schmarty] It’s pretty much separate from my main micropub server. I run a custom server for my main site, a fork of skippy’s for another project
# [keithjgrant] So do you post all micropub content to one endpoint, and it routes media to the correct place?
# [schmarty] Most micropub clients will send media to the media endpoint directly, as long as the main micropub endpoint advertises that it exists
# [keithjgrant] Interesting. Makes sense
# [schmarty] But for those that don’t, my micropub endpoint will accept files and submit them to the media endpoint behind the scenes
# [schmarty] For my static site, I treat those uploaded image URLs as “originals”, saving them in front matter attributes (photo, usually). My templates render those with imageproxy in front.

# [schmarty] Thank you, Loqi. You are a true friend.
# [keithjgrant] Awesome thanks. I'm getting ready for a trip, but I'll have to circle back and check all this out
