@evantravers I wrote up how I'm including twitter conversations on my blog using webmentions… reply to or like this tweet to (eventually) see it show up on the page! http://evantravers.com/articles/2019/11/14/indieweb-webmentions-on-middleman-or-jekyll/ (twitter.com/_/status/1194782027322658818)

GWG Anyone have any opinions on static map aspect ratios for display? It was suggested I change to a 16:9 aspect ratio
#
[Rose] I personally like square maps, so would like to be able to choose my aspect ratio - a predefined list would be fine though.
#
GWG [Rose]: I just wanted to simplify the settings. So instead of width and height...it would be width and aspect ratio
#
GWG And maybe some CSS to protect overflow
#
GWG max-width
#
GWG hmmm...idea

#
GWG I wonder if I could do a srcset

@zachleat someone: “thanks, appreciate the help!” my brain: “don’t webmention it” (twitter.com/_/status/1194976204023115776)

[fluffy] Personally I think maps should have the aspect that best fits the information being presented. A vertical aspect works very well for Seattle, for example. (I assume you’re talking about the geographical kind and not, like, site maps or whatever.)

#
[jgmac1106] I am starting to pile up videos on my website...anyone have any video feed layouts?
#
[jgmac1106] I should be able to take my photo grid and make a video grid
#
[tantek] It may be worth researching / documenting the video feed layouts that YouTube uses
#
[tantek] screenshots and such, assuming you can get some without nasty conspiracy etc. videos in them

#
[tantek] Is there a simple website that will flip a jpg (mirror ) on horizontal or vertical axis?
#
[tantek] Really don’t want to install an app just for that
#
[tantek] Kinda silly that built in iOS photo editing has rotation but no flip
#
aaronpk ios has horizontal flip
#
aaronpk maybe only the latest ios tho
#
[tantek] where?
#
aaronpk tap a photo, click edit, tap the crop icon at the bottom, then flip is in the top left corner
#
[tantek] ok the top left corner is empty for me. iOS 12.1
#
[tantek] trying 12.4
#
aaronpk i'm on 13.1 so maybe it was added then
#
[tantek] 12.2 didn't have it either
#
[tantek] lol "About 8 hours remaining"
#
[tantek] any experience with pinetools?
#
[tantek] e.g. https://pinetools.com/flip-image
#
[tantek] or https://www.img2go.com/rotate-image ?

#
[Rose] [tantek] you can use Shortcuts.
#
[Rose] https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a3e09804f6df4bfab571238cea55e286
#
[tantek] in iOS12?
#
[tantek] of course it's js;dr 😂
#
[Rose] That Shortcut would need re-creating for iOS 12, but it’s a simple one. Turn on the share sheet options, let it accept images. Add the action “flip image” and then the action “share image”
#
[Rose] *share, no image
#
[Rose] That’s it, then it will take any image you give it, flip it, and you can do what you like with it
#
[tantek] when I click "Get Shortcut" it says "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid."
#
[tantek] and then it opens app store
#
[tantek] oh what this is a separate native app ok
#
[Rose] On iOS 12 yes it was a separate app
#
[tantek] now waiting for it to download and install
#
[Rose] The app? Enjoy!

#
[tantek] Shortcuts says: “The data is not in the correct format.”
#
[Rose] When does it say this?
uniquerockrz joined the channel
#
[tantek] when it tried to open the link you sent
#
[tantek] so I tried building my own and it didn't seem to work either
#
[tantek] I added a "flip image" action and a "save to photos" action (gave it permission) and enabled it in the share sheet
#
[tantek] and tried it with an image and it seemed to pop-up, play, then not do anything

[Matt_Hobbs] Hello, I have a question about sending webmentions. Is it possible to do it using only JS via cross-origin Ajax? I've been hunting around for examples but haven't had much luck. I don't see anything mentioned on https://indieweb.org/Webmention-developer#Libraries either. Maybe it just isn't the way it is supposed to be done?
#
[Matt_Hobbs] Fetching and displaying them I have no problem with, I'm just a little stuck with giving users an easy option to send one e.g. "Written a response to this post? Let me know the URL using the form below:"
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] [Matt_Hobbs] you don't need JS for that, just use a normal HTML form pointed at your webmention endpoint. eg https://aaronparecki.com/2019/11/12/14/oredev#responses

[Matt_Hobbs] Right! Okay. A misunderstanding by me on how it all works. Thanks! I will give that a try.
