[tantek] hmm still not sure how to feel about this article https://gizmodo.com/rss-is-better-than-twitter-1833624929 or how to write a (more) productive response

Jeremycherfas Further to yesterday's talk about linking to the podcast episode url rather than the Overcast url for the episode, turns out I can get the enclosure URL or the show url but not, as far as I can see, the episode url. I suppose I could just link to the enclosure URL. I would welcome ideas.
#
Jeremycherfas Or rather, that is true for some of the shows, and not others, but I don't want to have to decide. Just prefer one.

#
[eddie] hmmm I get the episode url somehow.... how do I do that 🤔
iasai joined the channel
#
[Rose] Most shows do something like show.domain/episodeId
#
[Rose] Depending on the show it might be network.domain/show/episodeId
snarfed joined the channel
#
[Rose] So theoretically you could try just hanging a /episode_number to the end, but that's probably going to break
#
[eddie] ohhhh I see
#
[eddie] jeremycherfas I fetch the overcast url and parse it for some info, one of which is the show's permalink
#
Jeremycherfas I think it is just a few shows that don't do episode, and a couple of those were at the top of my list.
#
Jeremycherfas The show, or the episode?
#
[eddie] oh wait, I'm looking at my podcast importer not my overcast importer
#
Jeremycherfas The Overcast OPML has a key of 'url' but sometimes that is the show rather than the episode.
#
Jeremycherfas I parse the overcasturl for the artowrk ond the summary.
#
[eddie] hmmm I use the url key
#
[eddie] and it turns into the show permalink 🤔

#
[eddie] lol ignore the cover art hotlinking which I need to fix
#
Jeremycherfas Doesn't work for, e.g. Planet Money
#
[eddie] hmmm strange
#
[eddie] I wonder if that means they don't present a canonical url in their feed?
#
[eddie] I haven't noticed a single one of my shows that it doesn't work for
#
Jeremycherfas I guess it does. I am going to make the switch anyway. Tomorrow.
#
Jeremycherfas [eddie] I see you post with Quill. Is that a local install, or do you work some kind of magic?
#
[tantek] [Zegnat] since you asked in meta, here’s my personal task to actually build an auto-updating upcoming events box for my home page: https://indieweb.org/Falcon#Upcoming_Events_Based_on_RSVPs
#
[Rose] Yoink, saving that to my list of ideas along with everything else I already have!
#
[Rose] My current "solution" to upcoming events is to assign them to a category called "upcoming events" and to remove them from that once the event is passed, it's not pretty or automated, but it also required zero code and was done in 2 minutes so I figured it was an ok intermediary solution

#
[jgmac1106] [Rose] or help me finish hacking on this events plugin I am working on has a great calendar or list view widget
#
[jgmac1106] .... Might actually work on your theme... It is my theme I need to fix to make plugin work...
#
[Rose] It does, but I'm not sure I need a plugin, it's rare that there are a lot of events to share.

#
[Rose] I'm using a genesis child theme which currently has no microformats
#
[jgmac1106] .... I need a remote IWC to work on my site....ahh nvm
#
[jgmac1106] I did a search for all hentry and deleted that searched for vCard deleted all that, installed the mf2 plugin.... Got really close...
#
[jgmac1106] Just messed up bc before [pfefferle] said just delete any old mf I was doing find and replace... Have an extra h-entry now on my events
#
[jgmac1106] Will start over and try again when I get the time.... It might work
#
[Rose] First three weekends in May there are IWCs 😉
#
[jgmac1106] Now debating Summit or Berlin... Need to price it out to even find out if the question is relevant
#
Zegnat I find remote to be fun, but less productive than being on the ground. Unless you are remoting in to the other side of the world and nobody is awake locally (*cough*Summit*cough*)
#
[jgmac1106] In NYC and New Haven I find myself doing more teaching than hacking.... But go out of way to find people just beginning
#
[jgmac1106] When I remote I get to bug people like you... Maybe that is why they are less productive for you
#
[Rose] Zegnat: Are you remoting the summit this year? I want to
#
[Rose] I actually had a wild idea of trying to find some other people to stay up with locally
#
Zegnat I might do that again, yeah, if planning allows
#
Zegnat I had lots of fun last time I did it
#
Zegnat Also, because Sweden, I usually got a nice sunrise right before heading for bed
#
[Rose] I would love to attend, this year it's not on the cards but maybe next year
#
Jeremycherfas A local IRL remote into IWS sounds like a lot of fun.
