I _think_ I've got h-feed and h-article working on my site at https://vonexplaino.com/blog/ I have thoughts about h-feed, it's a lot of extra stuff to process / download compared to a separate, dedicated feed.

[relapse], definitely blog your thoughts on h-feed! You aren't the first to bring up "extra stuff to [...] download" either, e.g. talking pure size see https://cweiske.de/tagebuch/atom-vs-hfeed-size.htm
#
Loqi
[Christian Weiske] Atom feed vs. h-feed size
#
[tantek]
Zegnat, that analysis compares apples and oranges and is flawed
#
[tantek]
"extra stuff to download" has nothing to do with syntax. it has to do with whether you decide to make your "feed" a summary or full text

I was mostly wondering to see if [relapse] was seeing a similar problem. Even if it would be a flawed comparison, it can still be something people percieve as a problem and getting thoughts published is always good, imo. Either to reply to, or just to have them exist.
#
[tantek]
Propagating false conclusions is not helpful
#
[tantek]
Nor is it worth the time trying to reply to all such propagations
#
[tantek]
c.f. conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers etc.
#
Zegnat
I don’t agree. Addressing percieved problems is what a lot of technical FAQs end up doing. For that to be possible someone will first have to voice what they percieve to be the problems with a certain spec.
#
Zegnat
Though I also do not care enough to fight over that :P Mostly I would just like to see people blog about their experiences with microformats, including h-feed
#

#
[tantek]
blogging about experience with h-feed is good (including whatever challenges were uncovered)
#
[tantek]
reblogging a false equivalency about syntaxes when it's actually about full-text vs summary-text is not useful

Thanks for the link, @Zegnat. Will read and parse my thoughts.

It looks like we don't have a page for "Artstation" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Artstation is ____", a sentence describing the term)

Can I ask nicely for you to increase your font weight? I'd like to read it…
#
petermolnar
[tantek]: yes, portfolio/artwork certainly worth artstation POSSE/PESOS
#
petermolnar
though POSSE may not be possible, I haven't found any real APIs yet
#
[relapse]
Erk, bleh. Will fix [kevinmarks]
#
[kevinmarks]
It can partly be an android vs iOS thing, but very low font-weight looks extra spindly on a very high dpi screen.

sknebel
[relapse]: I'm not sure what you mean in your post with the replies etc (the third point?)? h-entries with those properties can be in an h-feed of course
#
sknebel
[relapse]: also regarding pagination: for feed pages, you can use page-level rel=prev/rel=next links
#
sknebel
e.g. indie readers can show replies/bookmarks/checkins "properly", with contexts etc, exactly because those properties get transported in the feed
[jgmac1106], jjuran and [relapse] joined the channel
#
[relapse]
[sknebel] With the third point, you've got "in-reply-to" as attributes, but how about _how_ to engage/ reply immediately?
#
[relapse]
[sknebel] OK, I didn't see anything in the h-feed spec about adding a tag for the reader to pick up on wrt next/ previous links. Does that need to be called out, or is it assumed as part of HTML?
#
GWG
Morning
#
[relapse]
Morning.
#
Loqi
morning!
#
sknebel
it's assumed, since it isn't specific to h-feed (but could maybe be mentioned)
#
[relapse]
It'd be a nice call out to show that h-feed has pagination, which RSS/ ATOM do not (to my knowledge). Much better than all-or-only-subset.
#
[relapse]
Twitter/ tumblr/ facebook have the ability to reply/interact-in-feed. Is that covered in the h-feed spec? Or does it just show what posts are in reply to if they're in a chain?

#
sknebel
the model in this community generally is that you reply on your own site, and send a notification or copy to the target. so indie readers post to your site, which then sends a webmention, or syndicates a copy to twitter, or ...
#
[jgmac1106]
[kevinmarks] is there a tool for unmung the converts mf2 into an xml feed....I worry if I have to manually update my RSS feed I will fall behind
#
[jgmac1106]
..I can't go no rss feed yet too many follow me
#
sknebel
[jgmac1106]: granary can do that
#
[jgmac1106]
@collin moris nice job on the post. Do you think may people want to consume an enitre feed or just looking for recent updates
#
[jgmac1106]
What is granary?
#
Loqi
granary is a library and REST API that frees you from social network snowflake API and exposes the sweet social data foodstuff inside as HTML and JSON with microformats2, ActivityStreams, JSON Feed, Atom, XML, and more https://indieweb.org/granary
#
[jgmac1106]
What does the word snowflake mean there?
#
[jgmac1106]
that is perfect
#
[jgmac1106]
@collin Morris another thing I do is put my three most recent articles on a feed on my homepage and have an article page with the entire feed
#
[relapse]
OK, so logic. I subscribe to all of you via your h-feeds. I'm reading your feed. I like Sknebel's current article. I reply in the form of a post on my site, which sends a webmention notification to your site's article's endpoint that adds the fact I replied and a link to the reply?
#
[relapse]
My post has an in-reply-to that contains your article's uid. So if we wanted a social-media-feed style, it would need to pull in in-reply-tos as individiual articles as it goes.
#
[relapse]
?
#
[relapse]
[jgmac1106] By entire feed, you mean to the dawn of blog?
#
[jgmac1106]
...welll that was a week ago so that is easy. I thinK I gave up on migrating wordpress blog, throwing it on a subdomain and adding a redirect program going to be easier
#
[relapse]
heh
#
sknebel
yes. in my case you can't find replies from my site, since I don't display them yet, but many show and mark them up as comments - and of course if you follow someone who has replied to me too, your reader can make the connection
#
[jgmac1106]
Granary work. For me Collin I didn't mea to make a working blog, I was making a few statinc pages to compliment my Known site after I got fed up with WordPress....but I added an h-feed and the blog worked
#
[relapse]
OK cool.
#
[jgmac1106]
interesting idea on pagination of your feed
#
[relapse]
Yeah, sorry didn't reply. I think especially with feed updates, if it sends a batch and if the reader needs to pull in more it pulls the next page, rather than sending to-the-dawn-of-time every refresh it would reduce bandwidth costs.
#
[relapse]
Also means you don't need to regenerate as much every time if it's database driven, which means less local processing costs and possibly time.
#
[jgmac1106]
if you have as static..or less dynamic homepage you may consider embedding an h-feed with a few hits
#
[relapse]
If I'm going to build a specific page with a feed of all my posts for syndication, I might as well build an RSS/ Atom feed I think. AS in a human isn't going to interact with that long-as-heck page; they'll opt for / be directed to the home page w' pagination.
#
[jgmac1106]
I am going to have both but I am also fooling with collections of posts...didn't set them up as h-feeds though just child h-entries: https://jgmac1106homepage.glitch.me/ptbinder.html
#
Loqi
[Name] Collection Title
#
[jgmac1106]
(caveat there isn't agreement on best way to mark up collections
#
[relapse]
OK. Good to know.
iasai joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
but here is my workflow I made an article card with an h-entry...I cut and past the three newest to homepage and cut and paste to my article page
#
[jgmac1106]
one day somebody will make the mf2.>json>micropub>mf2 correctly dated html post client....micropub as migration service....looking at you @cleverdevil...seems you have done it six ways already...until then I am just archiving everything
#
[jgmac1106]
This summer I will do second phase of migration which means bringing everything home to my site
#
[relapse]
Nice.
#
[jgmac1106]
....need to learn a ton before that can happen...may try Perch CMS...people tell me I have made most of the tempaltes already
#
[relapse]
Perch looks nice and clean.

Updated the article, thanks for the clarifications.

[kevinmarks]
you can do rel="next" and "previous" in Atom feeds too https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5005#section-3
#
[kevinmarks]
a full-content h-feed may be nicer; depends on your post size
#
[relapse]
Ah, neat. Didn't know that, thanks.
#
[relapse]
And yes, the full-content vs. synopsis would be a choice that best fits the blog/ site in question.

I noted this in #microformats, but also noting here too - if a few more mf2 parser implementors could express an opinion (thumb up / down) on the issue 44 proposal, we can likely move that forward as well: https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/44#issuecomment-439698538 (since it's already implemented in one parser mf2py) - GWG - this is the one you wanted so you could reference different h-feed elements on a page with fra

I'm not an implementer, but I'll express an opinion.

[tantek]: What do you call the thing that consumes what the parser parses and parses it more?

Like xray?

Or my one, Parse This
#
[tantek]
GWG, it's not really parsing it "more" unless it's actually doing some text parsing inside a property string value or something
#
[tantek]
it's more like an extractor or some other algorithm
#
GWG
Okay. Just wondering if there is a term

Post Processing?

scanner feels like it

b/c you're like transversing using xpath or CSS selectors

yes processing or post-processing is fine too
