\o/ miklb!
#
miklb
how are you [tantek]
#
GWG
Hi, miklb
#
miklb
howdy GWG!
#
GWG
Nice to see you around. Hope you are staying safe.
#
[tantek]
doing ok miklb, been thinking about how to make it easy to syndicate to IndieNews
#
miklb
I am. and same to you. Been doing a little work on my v2 jekyll indieweb theme. Now as a jekyll theme gem.
#
miklb
easy for who [tantek] ?
#
[tantek]
for me with my own notes and articles
#
[tantek]
right now the manual friction is high enough that I nearly never post to indienews
#
GWG
[tantek]: I made it too easy at one point.
#
[tantek]
I remember GWG, hence why I asked about my brainstorming thoughts here
#
GWG
At the time, I believe the issue was that Indienews has no moderation or such.
#
[tantek]
I'm not sure I agree with that. The assumption that "moderation" is needed is an assumption of surplus labor that adds to the minimum sustainable recurring cost of a system
#
[tantek]
I thought the issue was a default / UI that didn't reflect the implied culture intended by IndieNews as an aggregation site
#
miklb
what is IndieNews
#
Loqi
IndieNews is an indieweb news aggregator, similar to Hacker News, which only accepts submissions via webmention https://indieweb.org/IndieNews

I'm considering an extension to my webmention endpoint to verify/double-check on response webmentions to a particular page
#
jacky
this is my idea for checking if webmentions presented on a page are actually for it
#
jacky
the idea of checking for them fails if the site runs their own webmention server because then they can lie about it but at that rate, that's two red flags
#
jacky
trust but verify :)

jacky i'm trying to follow the problem you're describing
#
[snarfed]
you're worried about...DoSes? ie floods of responses from someone who generates lots of valid likes or replies?
#
dansup
[snarfed] hey, I shipped and deployed some bug fixes for the issues you reported!
#
[snarfed]
dansup awesome, thank you!
#
[snarfed]

tbh with some permissioning / OCAP-y stuff; that could help people move away from Google Photos and the like

[Rose] Did you ever finish a Micropub endpoint for Grav before you switched gears? https://indieweb.org/Grav#Micropub

[Rose]
I had a workaround. Where a PHP file would create the directory and put a file in it.

#
[jeremycherfas]
I was just thinking, I need to get back on that track. My podcast listens are done with PHP but I had made some progress on Micropub before getting distracted.

Thanks [Rose] and [jeremycherfas]. I was putting together some Micropub client support requests into a few publishing services (after we've seen some traction with iA Writer and ThreadReaderApp) and some are very education related where Grav has some reasonable traction and might provide some additional motivation. 🙂
