[manton] @GWG [aaronpk] In addition to NPR, there are a few podcast services that either generate JSON Feed or consume it. In a post last year I mentioned Breaker, Cast, Fireside, and FeedPress. I should add attachments to Micro.blog's feeds too (which would include Micro Monday).
#
GWG I would welcome it.

@jgmac1106 ↩️ Also bet you could use Bridgy to get to Twitter, the webmentions gem, or http://webmentions.io (https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/mioJ7) (twitter.com/_/status/1061967204885901312)

@paulrobertlloyd ↩️ I’m really hoping someone will figure out how to combine @netlify functions and @eleven_ty data files to receive and process webmentions. Seems like a thing that could work, but beyond my current understanding of these things. (twitter.com/_/status/1061990983125090305)
#
@vincentlistens ↩️ Just about to port my Jekyll >@Netlify blog over to @eleven_ty Putting the finishing touches to my #webmentions sending. Then it should be a straight swap (fingers crossed). (twitter.com/_/status/1061991891670052867)

sknebel what is Lambda?
#
Loqi Lambda is a service from Amazon Web Services that runs individual functions of code rather than running a server https://indieweb.org/Lambda
#
sknebel hm, no examples, but I'm sure a few people here use it - anyone made a webmention endpoint on it?
#
sknebel (Netlify functions mentioned in the tweets above is just Lambda repackaged afaik)
#
Zegnat Isn’t snarfed’s microsub bridge built on lambda?
#
sknebel no, that's Cloudflare Workers
#
Zegnat Aah
[davidmead] and [Vincent] joined the channel
#
[Vincent] [sknebel] I’ve been discussing porting my webmentions code to Lamda with Phil Hawksworth. Yeah it is basically Node code that runs (and you pay for usage only, similar to Heroku without a server). The endpoint created is the name of the file. I haven’t actually got the code running yet. The local process is a bit convoluted
#
[Vincent] The idea is the code is called from webhooks on publish that ping the endpoints in essence.

#
[astillanet] Hi there 👋 I’m new in the community.
#
[astillanet] I’m trying to create mi micropub endpoint but having problems with encodings when posting from Quill. Some chars are rendered as `_` and cannot figure out how to fix this. Shouldn’t be that difficult… I’m from Spain and write mainly in spanish, so this is an important thing to fix 😅 Any idea on how to fix?
#
aaronpk strange, which programming language are you using?
#
[astillanet] Javascript. Node.js
#
[astillanet] A really basic app with express and body-parser
#
aaronpk try to track down whether it's coming through the http request okay or whether it's a problem with writing or reading from your storage
#
sknebel or with converting the value coming from storage to HTML
#
[astillanet] could be something server-related. i’m running openbsd 6.3
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[astillanet] 🤦‍♂️ indeed, it was the server
#
[astillanet] thanks for your responses!

sknebel https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#Query says stuff supports querying for categories, but doesn't describe *how* that works?

jackjamieson and [eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] sknebel: Yeah, that should be defined. These are the two references I found.
#
[eddie] https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-01-18#t1484757304977000
#
[eddie] https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-01-18#t1484757304977000
#
Loqi [cweiske] so "?q=category&search=foo" is needed
#
Loqi [cweiske] so "?q=category&search=foo" is needed
jackjamieson joined the channel
#
[eddie] Oops that wasn’t supposed to be the same
#
[eddie] https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-01-18#t1484748992731000
#
Loqi [voxpelli] petermolnar: pushing _all_ existing categories to the client sounds unfeasible? would probably need to be a specific ?q=categories that returns a paginated list and which maybe can support some additional param for some kind of autocomplete/search
#
sknebel yeah, which aren't people working on the implementations listed
jackjamieson joined the channel
#
[eddie] Correct
#
[eddie] !tell swentel How does Indigenous for Android and Drupal provide the category/tag queries?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
jackjamieson joined the channel
#
[eddie] Here’s GWG bringing it up: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2018-04-20/1524243619884200
#
Loqi [GWG] Any Micropub client supporting q=category?
#
[eddie] So I’m thinking that’s what he added to Wordpress
jackjamieson joined the channel
#
[eddie] !tell GWG From what I understand, Wordpress supports Micropub category queries. Is this ?q=category&search= for autocomplete or is it a complete list?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
jackjamieson joined the channel
#
[eddie] Hopefully that will help shed some light so we can update the wiki
jackjamieson and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
Zegnat Wasn’t there a generic proposal for searching through any property?
snarfed joined the channel
#
[eddie] This is about getting a list of categories not getting a list of posts by category
#
[eddie] I don’t think a generic property search would apply to that, would it?
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] like this: https://jgregorymcverry.com/category/indieweb/
snarfed joined the channel
#
[eddie] That is a list of posts not all possible tags
#
Zegnat Ooh, sorry, I misunderstood then [eddie]!
#
Zegnat I thought we were talking about list of posts
#
[eddie] No worries 😁

#
Loqi [Eugen] Reading the #micropub spec. Seems simple enough, would anyone benefit from us adding that? Is anyone using that?
#
[jgmac1106] search within a posthttps://jgregorymcverry.com/category/indieweb?s=bridgy
#
[jgmac1106] ...ohh my bad, I use a droopdown menu for a list of all categories
#
[eddie] Ahh gotcha. Yeah so the q=category is about allowing Micropub clients to autocomplete categories for hashtags or regular tags
snarfed, [davidmead], swentel, [tantek] and [cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
swentel hmm should xray/mf2 handle duplicate image names ? or is it up to clients to detect them when displaying ?
#
Loqi swentel: sebsel left you a message 3 days, 22 hours ago: Does the IndieWeb plugin for Drupal support the Microsub 'preview' action? I think it does not, from the code I read, but I might have missed it. See also https://github.com/indieweb/microsub/issues/34 :)
#
Loqi swentel: [eddie] left you a message 1 hour, 8 minutes ago: How does Indigenous for Android and Drupal provide the category/tag queries?
#
swentel https://snarfed.org/2018-11-10_30370 is a good example which yields the same image twice
#
Loqi [Ryan Barrett] Ah, that classic girl’s rite of passage: crimping her first RJ45 cable. Next step: off to the datacenter. She’s had a free ride here for four good years. Time to start pulling her own weight!
#
swentel [eddie], micropub-endpoint?q=category
#
swentel that returns a list of tags
#
GWG Eddie, it is a complete list
#
Loqi GWG: [eddie] left you a message 1 hour, 8 minutes ago: From what I understand, Wordpress supports Micropub category queries. Is this ?q=category&search= for autocomplete or is it a complete list?
#
swentel indigenous caches it in case you're working offline
#
sknebel could you add that to could you document an example query/Response on https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#Query ?
#
swentel yeah, no autocomplete here either
#
sknebel [cleverdevil]: someone asked about webmentions on Lambda today. you've used Lambda for indieweb things I think, did you do anything in that direction?
#
swentel !tell sebsel no not all api actions are implemented yet, will happen in https://github.com/swentel/indieweb/issues/250
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
Loqi [swentel] #250 Add all remaining api actions in microsub
#
[eddie] swentel GWG thanks for the info! 😁
#
GWG If you are proposing a limiter on the command, I would be happy to implement it, but it was not in the original proposal
#
[eddie] No proposal just trying to capture as is
#
GWG I still would like more support for location
#
[eddie] Do you return a JSON array of strings?
#
GWG Yes.
#
swentel yes
#
[eddie] 👍
#
[eddie] I’ll add some more general detail around it but for now it’s fixed up in its own section with some clarity around brainstorming and actual implementations
#
[eddie] https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#Query_for_Category.2FTag_List
#
GWG eddie, could I talk you into location-visibility support?

Loqi [eddie] has 44 karma in this channel over the last year (71 in all channels)
#
GWG Wondering what else Micropub could query for
#
[eddie] I don’t even send location yet! Hahaha
#
Loqi hehe
#
GWG eddie, when you do, don't forget altitude and location name
#
GWG Wondering if I should implement reverse geo lookup into the Micropub query
#
[eddie] Yeah I should add location to indigenous for iOS. Probably a pretty easy win
#
voxpelli likes that he is present here even when he isn’t in person, nice to see links to old thoughts :)
