#[tantek]I need help explaining why Micropub is better than Web Share
#[tantek]in particular Web Share is framed as "simple" because of a sample code line like: navigator.share({title: 'foo', url: 'https://example.com'});
#[tantek](this ignores all kinds of assumptions etc.)
#[tantek]so I need help 1) explaining what all the (bad) assumptions are behind that "one line of code", and 2) how could the simplest possible "Micropub publish" line(s) of code would work
#jackyMicropub allows for modification of said sharing of posts from the same place you send them so undoing is a lot easier / less effort
#[tantek]thanks to the target[]=...&target[]=... option of webmention.io

#Ruxtonhow des webshare compare to micropub though? one is a share target (micropub) and the other is a client sharing (webshare)

#[tantek]Ruxton, in both cases they are trying to solve the same/similar use-case of a user wants to post something somewhere
cweiske, swentel and [Rose] joined the channel
#Ruxton[tantek]: but one is a specific service to handle posting and one is a generic request for all the available services on a device?
#[tantek]either way they are more or less suited to handling the same use-case of a user publishing to the web, and they are more or less biased towards reinforcing big silos
#Ruxtonthe way I understand it is web share is a share OF a web site, doesn't have to go TO a website.. and that's why see them different. Micropub enforces the "how to share to a site" and webshare is the "call to share a wbe site to somewhere".. maybe I'm missing somethng here though?
#[tantek]yes the key piece missing there is the context of those capabilities
#[tantek]in the current context "share OF" is implied to go to a silo, and that's a bad steering of users given the current toxic silo messes
gRegorLove joined the channel
#Ruxtonis that context of it being to a silo specifically implied somewhere in Webshare?
#[tantek]yes, the existing "share" UIs in some browsers that allow you to pick a silo to share to
#[tantek]the ecosystem has that (poor) assumption currently, reinforcing that (lowering the barrier for that) makes it worse
#Ruxtonis there one that's static and not-extensible? both iOS and Android share are hookable, eg. when I navigator.share indigenous is there
#jeremycherfas!tell snarfed I don't get emails for likes or comments from FB, because I sol seldom post there, but I do get notice of other people's postings. Any use?

#aaronpki mean why not just leave them out of RSS entirely since there is no indication that RSS readers are going to adapt and people seem to not even want "other peoples" content in RSS feeds they're following
#sknebelWhat's wrong with fallback content like "bookmark of: title" as the title?
#sebselI believe I just dump the full HTML of my post (which I render and cache anyway) into my RSS feed :P
#sebselthen the like shows up as my likes show up on my site.
[eddie] joined the channel
#[eddie]Yeah, if you are going to put likes in feeds, I think that is the best way. High fidelity information. "So and so liked a tweet" isn't that helpful. But if you can provide the post owner, an excerpt from the post, etc. That ups the quality of that post
#[eddie]The general rule of thumb, is most people scrolling through a reader don't want to click out to different web pages
#[eddie]So for me, I ask myself if I have enough content in the post for it to be of value without clicking out. If not, I don't include it in JSON/RSS feeds
#[eddie]I don't currently include likes, bookmarks, etc. Because I don't feel that I store enough relevant information about them in my system yet
#[eddie]However for RSS/JSON Feed, since they don't know about checkins and watch posts, etc, I like sebsel, include the HTML in the content that would be on my site
#[eddie]I only ever include a title in RSS feed if it's an article (or I guess a podcast episode)
#sebselyea, if they want richer info, use my mf2-feed
#[jgmac1106]for me bookmarks are my most popular feed and people DO want to click through to the think bookmarked
#Zegnat[jgmac1106]: but your bookmarks also include commentary that you write, right? That is different from most like posts, which are just “I like {link}”

#[jgmac1106]how hard is it to not use a shared host? seems like I will always run into some undiagoneasble error and default answer is, "I don't know must be a shared hosting thing"
#[jgmac1106]On WP I couldn't send webmentions, with Known I can't use Bridgy Fed, running into stuff with Kirby now where it works in my local dev environment but not to when I push to a server
#cweiskeso you're not pro enough to use shared hosting :)
#ZegnatKirby should be pretty straight forward PHP, what is it that isn’t working?
#[jgmac1106]yeah how much harder can it be to spin up a server on AWS and add EC@ an s3 bucket..and just point o my domains.....but there is probably a bunch of maintenance and skill costs involved I am unaware about...
#[jgmac1106]not sure and it works locally, when I save my notes in their panel the notes.txt file comes up blank
#aaronpkDefinitely, and also AWS is not the first place I'd send someone new to running servers. There's lots of AWS specific admin tax stuff
#[jgmac1106]...but its also not really designed for shared hosting environments
#[jgmac1106]thanks shared hosting it is...just keeps being the default reason poeople give me for stuff not working
#ZegnatKirby is (or definitely was) definitely designed to run on shared hosting
#ZegnatThat was a reason for several database-less CMS to come to life in the first place.
#ZegnatFeels like you should file an issue with the kirby folks and see if someone can help you solve it if their panel fails
#[jgmac1106]working on this now, really liking Kirby..and I am only on day 3-4 of hacking on it..should be expected takes time to solve regular bugs
#ZegnatNow that Kirby has the panel as a back-end interface, I wonder if IndieAuth becomes feasible as a plugin. Hmmmmmm.
#[jgmac1106]sebsel just uses micropub clients and ignores the panel that is an intriguing idea
#[jgmac1106]I am just going through and adding mf2 to their templates...finished notes....once they start saving
#jeremycherfas!tell [jgmac1106] I have a VPS on Dreamhost and the tax really isn't that huge. I've run into a couple of issues, like the CLI version of PHP being different to the one on web pages, but they have usually been relatively easy to resolve.
#sebselKirby always had a panel as a back-end interface, but the one in Kirby 3 should be more extensible than ever (the one in 2 was already quite extensible!)
#[jgmac1106]super cool, but may want to follow your idea and not even think bout a publishing UI
#[jgmac1106]took a break and now trying to to add an alt text that isn't the title of a post in Known photo post types
#sebselmy reason for ditching the panel is that is was incompatible with my folder structure of 2019/149/1 (year/dayofyear/postofday). Micropub made that less cumbersome to work with
snarfed joined the channel
#[jgmac1106]will go back and work on the panel for the blog interface next...if I can make blogs, photos, and notes can probably make templates for other post types...all this started bc I wanted a simple guestbook on my website that saved in txt files...atleast I know enough now I can do that

#sebselsounds like you want one template per post type? Kirby might serve you well there.
#sebselI wanted one template to serve all the post types, depending on which fields are present.
#sebselbut if you like the idea of picking your post type and have a separate template for each, yes, that will work with the panel nicely
snarfed and jackjamieson joined the channel
#[jgmac1106]I would prefer your approach and rely on post type discovery but that seems a bit out of my reach where I now have enough skills to just make templates for every post type
#[jgmac1106]does your panel recognize difference for top level h-* or do you just publish h-entries?
#[jgmac1106]its also just the mindset of how things have worked for me, Known always had post types, WP always post kinds, but tantek was suggesting not templating either
#sebselI have two templates: entry.php and event.php, but I believe event.php is just `require "./event.php";` iirc
#sebselsorry, no, that part is closed source. I had the nice idea of using Kirby's HTML helpers for entry.php, so it's full of `$inner = new Brick('div', ['class' => 'h-entry']);` stuff..
#sebselbut it comes down to a lot of if's and else's, and spitting out HTML depending on fields that are present.
#[jgmac1106]sounds good and best of luck, having fun as I learn
#[jgmac1106]I will stick with templating for now, sicnce it a lesson PHP basics for me, but your idea of no variables in the html and having a field for everything is quite intriguing
#jeremycherfasI don't understand the difference between ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc on OSX. I have PATH set in bashrc but when I open a new Terminal, I get the same old $PATH unless I do source ~/.bashrc. I do not seem to have a ~/.profile. do I need to create ~/.profile and put my PATH in there to have it be set every time I open Terminal? (All the online answers just confuse me further.)

#[tantek]Re: RSS and like/bookmark posts, I’d advise against it. From my experience with putting likes in Atom, it’s pretty universal that people are annoyed by them when seeing them in old style RSS readers or even in micro.blog which is modern yet doesn’t do anything special with likes
#[tantek]There’s a whole thread on it in micro.blog re my likes there that convinced me
#sknebelNot necessarily for a main feed, but bookmark feeds are common enough
#sknebelAnd I wouldn't have called out Aaron's if I didn't use it
#[tantek]I still keep all my likes in my main discoverable Atom feed in my site, presuming that anyone who chooses to follow me / my site directly can choose to configure their reader or choose a reader that handles it fine
#[tantek]It’s the folks that follow elsewhere that have different expectations, eg following me on Twitter or micro.blog etc, so for those it makes sense for the burden to be on me to pick the appropriate subset for the destination

#GWG[tantek]: Re the feed issue, I read the thread
[tantek] joined the channel
#GWGI find your likes less than helpful in my RSS reader
#GWGSo more context to decide. I can't read everything
#[jgmac1106]but my fav is something like you do GWG with the plugin where the url get's parsed and I get extra info like a title and summary (usually from OGP is my guess)
#[jgmac1106]If I like something and it happens to be an mf2 feed I would like the p-name, u-featured (if phoo included) and p-summary just parsed and included without me doing anything...would fall back on OGP for sites outside of community
#GWGI set Micropub to when a bookmark or like is published to add all of that automatically
#[jgmac1106]just wondering if this could happen automatically on the reader side using the JSON, RSS, OGP or mf2. Not having to include a parser in the design of your personal site is kinda nice
#GWGIt could. But that is the opposite of Microsub
#[jgmac1106]yeah your micropub bookmarks work better than anyone's IMO...but I have same design preference so it is an opinion
#[jgmac1106]okay way past my boundaries of knowledge, just know whether on author or client I like title, featured image, and summary included under any liked or bookmarked link
#GWGOf course, no reader or endpoint for Microsub does context yet

#doubleloopIf I have an h-feed with a p-author h-card, a consumer of my feed should take that h-card as opposed to an h-card associated with an entry in the feed?
