[tantek] Back to alt-text automarkup. My modest proposal is this: URL-for-image (parenthetical alt text)

#
[tantek] e.g.: http://example.org/hwcsf.jpg (HWC SF with participants writing blog posts on their laptops)

#
[tantek] a single space separates the URL (which must end in an image format file extension like png jpg jpeg etc.) and the "(" that starts the alt text, and then eventually a ")" that closes the alt text
#
[tantek] that single space can also be a single line-break
#
[tantek] more examples, deatils: http://tantek.com/w/Markdown#Alttextforimages
#
[tantek] this gets particularly interesting when you want to hyperlink the image, which you do by adding another URL after that

[Franco_Scarpa] Hi! I'm a bit confused. My personal website is hosted on Netlify, so only static files. How can I implement webmentions?
[frank] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] franco scarpa there have been some tutorials on netlify webmentions. I will look for them
#
sknebel [Franco_Scarpa]: by having the webmention endpoint somewhere that's not just static. If you don't want to run it yourself, there is webmention.io offering that as a (free) service (but netilify functions could be an option, or lots of other hosting options)
#
[jgmac1106] you can use webmentions.io to receive and telegraph to send...displaying is a different issue...let me look around
#
sknebel you then can that have store data, and add them to your pages during the netlify build (and trigger a new build once a mention has come in)

#
Loqi I’ve made a few changes here, but hopefully, most of them went unnoticed. As I mentioned before, I’ve been wanting to invest more in my own site and content again. With so much I want to tackle—implementing WebMentions, syndicating book reviews...
#
[Franco_Scarpa] Thanks a lot! As soon as I can I will read these resources! Thank you very much!

@redsweater On the @Blogger front, unfortunately we can confirm that Google has shut down the API that allowed @MarsEdit to upload images. Many customers have indicated they want to keep using Blogger even with this limitation, so we will continue to support Blogger without image uploads. (twitter.com/_/status/1107993081117323264)

#
[tantek] Wow
#
[tantek] Should we stop recommending Blogger as a free hosting solution?

[tantek] it works! just added alt text (retroactively, just on my site) to my most recent photo post! https://tantek.com/2019/077/t1/sunset-crashing-waves-stained-glass

#
[tantek] now I just realized the larger challenge I have, which is that when I link to a higher resolution of the photo and use that for syndication with u-photo, that there's no way for Bridgy (or any microformats consumer) to understand that there's an alt on the img inside that u-photo link
#
[tantek] i.e. if you parse that post with a mf2 parser, it doesn't retrieve the alt on the img inside the a href u-photo
eli_oat joined the channel
#
[tantek] Problem statement: I want to syndicate the highest resolution of the photo I have, while only displaying the medium resolution by default on my home page and post permalink (clicking through gets you the highest resolution version)
#
[tantek] this requires using u-photo on the link around the img tag instead of directly on the img tag itself
#
[tantek] OR I give up on syndicating highest resolution for now, and simply be content with syndicating the medium resolution from the img tag
#
[tantek] Might have to go with that as an interim. The only place it matters is my syndication to Flickr which I was kind of treating like a backup of the full resolution but now I can't
#
KartikPrabhu using u-photo on the link sounds fine no?
#
[tantek] yes that's what I'm doing now, however then the 'alt' is not associated with the u-photo
#
KartikPrabhu that way all the places your post goes to FLickr or readers pick up the highest resolution. Readers can choose to down-size it if they like
#
KartikPrabhu aah 'alt' :(
#
[tantek] correct. however the 'alt' is not picked up therefore does not make it to the Twitter POSSE copy
#
[tantek] checks Bridgy docs to see if there's some way to customize which URL is syndicated to Flickr
#
[tantek] ok I think I need the equivalent of p-bridgy-twitter-content but for Flickr like u-bridgy-flickr-photo
#
[tantek] !tell snarfed is u-bridgy-flickr-photo a reasonable feature request for Bridgy Publish, like p-bridgy-twitter-content, but for a custom photo (e.g. higher resolution) for Flickr? Or is that violating "keep Bridgy simple"? Asking before I file an issue requesting it.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[tantek] also tempted to just use the markup and see if it was secretly supported
