aaronpk this is pretty cool though, you should try it out! it's now possible to deploy from the heroku button without running any command line stuff or any manual copy paste!
#
[LewisCowles] I’ll give it a go. I appreciate the hustle, but yeah I didn’t expect it. I was deploying some of my own non-public things to Heroku and it’s always interesting to see how others do things, why. So thanks.
#
aaronpk yeah and I had never used a heroku deploy button before so thanks for getting that off the ground!

[LewisCowles] I know someone who will likely use it too. Southendtech.co.uk
#
aaronpk sweet, I will be happy if at least one person actually uses it

GWG aaronpk: Oh?
#
aaronpk When I turned it into a grid I lost the text of the post on that page

GWG There seems to be a lack of Micropub clients that do updates reliably

[jgmac1106] When they say a new kind of irc does this have anything to do with irc? https://relaychat.app/
#
GWG It stays new IRC style
#
GWG says
#
[jgmac1106] but also "like embedded Discord"
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: It's the peanut butter of jelly
#
[jgmac1106] that is worth a gwg shirt
#
GWG Still point made.
#
GWG Is there any point in rethinking pingbacks?
leg joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] only in as much as the decision should be use webmentions instead
#
[jgmac1106] though I have noticed increasingly that some themes are displaying webmentions as pingbacks with more context
#
[jgmac1106] Got an email about it actually someone asking me "wtf is going on how is this happening"
#
[jgmac1106] meaning the pingback has context....more than just the link
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I am brainstorming a refresh of the WordPress Pingback implementation
#
GWG Mixed with webmentions

[jgmac1106] "My blog has gotten pinged from some of your posts, like so: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/01/20/starchatarianism-is-real-threat-to-new-vegans
#
[jgmac1106] But I can't figure out what they are. Are they blog posts on your site, or copies of your tweets? And how can I reply?"
#
Loqi [Greg McVerry] Starchatarianism is real threat to new vegans and will do way worse things for weight (and even worse to energy) than a high protein diet, be weary of thinking your morning smoothie is healthy and not a huge sugar bomb
#
[jgmac1106] the post with pingbacks: his them only displays a few words, some display all of p-name: https://bryanalexander.org/personal/navigating-my-way-into-veganism/
#
GWG I intend to remove try something different
#
GWG Nothing may come of it
#
GWG But that is one way pingbacks display... but who cares about the protocol?
#
GWG I'd rather have a...who is linking to me section
#
GWG Even the..send me a webmention forn...why do visitors care what a webmention is?

GWG I'm building in the draft scope into Micropub

#
[chrisaldrich] [jgmac1106] I think I'd had some back-and-forth with Bryan a year and a half ago about webmentions, he was busy at the time and planned to circle back, but I don't think he'd gotten around to it. If we can get him and cogdog to add them/experiment, they'll bring over a tremendous swath of people along with them.

Brolivius Hello everybody
#
Brolivius anybody around?
#
sknebel hi
#
sknebel if you have a question, just ask :)
#
Brolivius oh hello :) just wondering if this is a channel for getting some advice on a side project
#
Brolivius i've built this app, but i'm not sure if i should keep going with it, or just drop it and work on something else
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
Brolivius would anyone mind taking a look?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG !tell [snarfed]: Just noticed your event unit test in Micropub had an end date of June 31st and the latest WordPress validates such errors.

[chrisaldrich] Brolivius, is it something related to having/maintaining a personal website? If not it may be more appropriate to ask in the #indieweb-chat channel.
