[Michael_Beckwit i’m debating writing a mobile page that lets me “check in” to coffee shops I visit. For some reason I want to track how often I go where
#
[Michael_Beckwit bonus if I can trigger a mobile notification to remind me to check in when it detects i’m within distance
#
[Michael_Beckwit at minimum, it’d just be buttons or dropdowns that are pre-set with common locations
#
aaronpk oof haha
#
aaronpk thats a rabbit hole but do it!
#
aaronpk If you do, please do it as a micropub client so other ppl can use it too! :-)
#
[Michael_Beckwit “you’ve visited this location 5 times this week…are you sure you’re not addicted?”
#
[Michael_Beckwit that would be an interesting angle to go with, and a grand learning opportunity
#
aaronpk I mean really it just means making it send the data to your server in a particular format
#
aaronpk you've gotta make a post request at some point, so make it look like ownyourswarm's and everyone else can use it too
#
[Michael_Beckwit runs off to star/bookmark for potential future forking
#
aaronpk Oh definitely don't use that as a starting point haha
#
aaronpk its tightly integrated with Swarm
#
aaronpk and is not set up at all to work offline
#
[Michael_Beckwit surely there’s something that i could borrow inspiration from.
#
aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/Teacup-Offline
#
Loqi [aaronpk] Teacup-Offline: Offline-first app for tracking food and drink posts
#
aaronpk Thats my offline micropub client
#
aaronpk that'd be a good place to start probably
#
[Michael_Beckwit starred and bookmarked as well

[KevinMarks] Getting location in the browser is remarkably easy.

[KevinMarks] View source on https://kevinmarks.github.io/maptime/ for how to get location and plot it easily
[Rose] and [jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] been saving a bunch of map files to one day figure out how to add them to the website
#
[Rose] Hah, I love IndieWeb. I wanted a way to upload images (or other files) to a specific subdomain on my server from my iPhone, 5 minutes of messing with Aaron’s sample media endpoint and modifying my regular Shortcut and I’m done.
#
[jgmac1106] Getting a weird 403 mesaage on Indigineous. I see my channels when I log into aperture. But Indigineous sayd I have no internet connection
#
[jgmac1106] When I try to refreah my endpoints I get the 403 error
#
[jgmac1106] All my endpoints are correct, can't figure this out. Been a few weeks with out a reader

#
[Rose] What do your server logs say?
#
[Rose] And follow up to my earlier media endpoint usage, I built a little page with IndieAuth to view the images: https://resources.rosemaryorchard.com/drafts-course/Screenshot%202019-08-15%20at%2018.36.45.png
#
[Rose] A good coding exercise to see if I understand this stuff, not amazing but good enough for being done on an iPad with a flaky LTE connection on the underground 😄
#
[tantek] That is pretty amazing, especially for building on an iPad!
#
[Rose] I used Bootstrap, so the design is not mine at all 😛
#
[Rose] But that means it scales easily. Of course I can call the media endpoint for the last images uploaded, but if I want to scroll back it's nice to have an existing GUI
#
[Rose] I may make it available on GitHub as a gist, would anyone else be interested in a page which lets them view the contents of their media endpoint?
#
[tantek] I feel like that would be anyone with a media endpoint!
#
[Rose] I'll tidy my code up then. It's using IndieAuth which should be changed to something else at some point, but it's a proof of concept as much as anything else 🙂
#
[Rose] First things first however, which is not dev related: packing for San Francisco!

#
[tantek] GWG, what are your thoughts about a resurgence of XFN (moving here from meta)
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
GWG Whether rel or u- I'd like to use some of them to build follower lists
#
[tantek] that's a pretty interesting use-case I agree
#
[tantek] I'd like to see it better understood and defined as part of the user flow of following in general
#
[tantek] e.g. you find a new site you like, how do you "follow" it / that person?
#
[tantek] you see a comment from someone in your reader, how do you follow them?
#
[tantek] the "follower lists" IMO are a side-effect of understanding how to make following work in general
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
GWG We had the discussion of follow posts
#
GWG With the draft property follow-of, which I think a few people are using
#
GWG I think cleverdevil did an h-feed of follow-of entries, rather than individual posts
#
GWG Follow is a subscription term also
#
GWG Now, how you follow depends on how you consume
#
GWG This is all about discovery

#
[manton] [tantek] Sorry, I forgot to follow up about the photos in your feed working better in Micro.blog... Let me review that again.
#
Loqi [manton]: [tantek] left you a message 3 days, 1 hour ago: I'm stuck on how to get any of my photos to show up in micro.blog/t and nothing "micro.blog" is web searchable in practice (for obvious reasons) — are there limitations to micro.blog photo syndication? E.g. only one photo (no /multiphoto support), or max "caption" length, or something else? Am about to give-up or stick 🖼 in Atom feed photo entries to indicate to Atom consumers that there are photos there they are missing.

robdrake now hello.js has no errors, but now getting TypeError: item.setLocal is not a function code at https://tildegit.org/rgdrake/nodeircbot Please any help would be apprecitated, I feel like I'm circling the answer, but hitting the mark
#
robdrake wrong channel, sorry

[fluffy] What’s this about Tumblr removing outgoing RSS? I’ve never encountered that at all. https://tumblr.beesbuzz.biz/rss works just fine regardless of user-agent, and also things like https://tumblr.beesbuzz.biz/tagged/anxiety/rss too. And it also works for tumblr blogs without a custom domain.
#
[fluffy] https://thingstrumpdoesntunderstand.tumblr.com/rss for example
#
sknebel [fluffy]: they do geo-ip. If you have an EU IP and don't use special user-agents, you get a GDPR page instead of the feed
#
[tantek] Oh wow that definitely deserves documenting on /Tumblr
#
sknebel interestingly, the tumblr.beesbuzz.biz ones don't have it, at least not right now
#
KartikPrabhu wait is GDPR an issue for RSS or feeds in general?
#
[KevinMarks] Hm works for me in the EU
#
[KevinMarks] I can see http://tumblr.beesbuzz.biz too
#
[KevinMarks] Oh, custom domain, that's why
#
[KevinMarks] No Oath on custom domains
#
[KevinMarks] Whereas matt.tumblr.com/rss gives me Oath in the browser, but unmung hides behind the google user agent and shows it
#
[KevinMarks] Follow matt's tumblr feed via http://www.unmung.com/feed?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fphotomatt.tumblr.com%2Frss

#
aaronpk lol like that
#
[fluffy] ah okay I never ran into the oath/gdpr thing
#
[KevinMarks] That's why I made tumblelog.xyz
#
[fluffy] ah
#
[fluffy] I’d seen that before but had no idea what the context was, since I’d not seen the interstitial
loicm joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] The interstitial isn't even responsive, it looks likes this on the phone https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/1161056001073786880?s=20
#
@kevinmarks @photomatt @automattic @tumblr I'd like to read it but it's spewing Oaths. You could try the http://tumblelog.xyz trick to remove that until you get root. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBzmRZzXUAE29FF.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1161056001073786880)
