@freshyill ↩️ Thanks to @elgreg, I can also see that my Webmentions are fully functional once again! (twitter.com/_/status/1264770218980761600)

@webrocker ↩️ I had like 5 legit comments on my blog last year. I have enabled web notifications and am listening to mentions on twitter via http://brid.gy - most of the 'reactions' displayed are coming from this. I think first spam and then twitter/fb killed the blog comment culture (twitter.com/_/status/1264803614515658752)
# 
@AndreJaenisch ↩️ Same.
My blog is built with Eleventy.
I also have http://webmention.io integrated.
So adding microformats2 to your markup and making a POST call to an endpoint would allow you to comment on it.
I don't render it yet, though.
Using bridgy by @schnarfed collects tweets, too. (twitter.com/_/status/1264810108313272322)
# @AndreJaenisch ↩️ Take a look at https://brid.gy/ for integrating reactions (likes, reblogs, tweets, comments etc.)
You can also point to https://webmention.io/ for handling Webmentions.
Those are kind of pingbacks you know about from WordPress.

vika_nezrimaya swentel: about Companion: I'm not working on it that much but I plan on returning to it, since I need to code the reply button... but it's at least usable to keep up with latest posts!
# vika_nezrimaya The read-unread tracking isn't there though since I'm not sure how to code it
# vika_nezrimaya RecyclerView makes it tricky, but the app is hella fast
# vika_nezrimaya Also I need to finish the posting UI since I can't add tags and edit syndication targets
# vika_nezrimaya also I need to make TextViews display pictures in HTML, currently they're showing up as placeholder small quares
# vika_nezrimaya there's a lot of work to do
# vika_nezrimaya and the most important thing: Share button in Custom Chrome Tabs, since I'm gonna be using it a lot. Will probably invoke the sharesheet, from which one can send an article to another app on repost it on their site
# vika_nezrimaya This is literally the most important thing there because I'm using Kittybox Companion to keep up with a certain Russian newspaper (that posts a lot of great stuff instead of retellings) and send some articles to my mom
# vika_nezrimaya And copying the URL is hard, but... #manualuntilithurts

@MarcoInEnglish ↩️ I know what WebMentions are, and I know bridgy, but I haven't yet heard about http://webmention.io yet. (twitter.com/_/status/1264814796429496323)
# vika_nezrimaya I just love the designs of my app and the fact that it has a dark theme
# vika_nezrimaya swentel: does Indigenous have a dark theme? it's a killer feature in 2020 :3

@erikkroes ↩️ It somehow feels more open when you can comment. I've got webmentions on my own blog (twitter.com/_/status/1264828147419222026)

[jgmac1106] petermolnar following your rebuilding of gallery pages closely, I am a few months behind (like to December and holiday concerts) on my img posts

@aswath ↩️ In the HTML5 universe, URL can be one's id which can be auth using indieauth while reputation can be backed by any number of agencies with the second party picking the one they are comfortable (twitter.com/_/status/1264912593627615234)

# 
[schmarty] Here's something I've been stewing on that I may want to make bandwidth to work on but could use some feedback
# [schmarty] lol I am having trouble writing it succinctly
[grantcodes] joined the channel
# [schmarty] sknebel: I am not quiiite ready to commit to a post yet 😅
# [schmarty] I am thinking about the ambiguity behind statements like "my site supports micropub" when it comes to vocabulary, data types, etc.
# [schmarty] I think it should be possible, and maybe even a good experience, to have a micropub client work iteratively with your site to "work around" properties that your micropub endpoint doesn't support.
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 
[grantcodes] Eddie and I discussed something like that a long time ago
# [grantcodes] Sounds a lot like https://github.com/indieweb/micropub-extensions/issues/8 - at least from your succinct version 😜
# [schmarty] My basic thinking on it is that a micropub endpoint might not handle a property, or might not handle it "well", if the definition of "well" changes. The result being missing or incomplete info on the published post.
# [schmarty] grantcodes: yeah! This discussion was interesting but I think it leaves the human out of the loop too much. Also I might change what I think "supports" means later and feel like my micropub endpoint is now doing it wrong.
# [schmarty] So as a micropub client creator you probably have a sense for what you expect to see in a published post.
# [schmarty] What if the client parsed your post after the fact and looked for missing info
# [schmarty] And would offer to work around a micropub endpoint or site template that isn't handling some property well by pushing it into the content and pre-marked-up mf2 html?
# [grantcodes] I thought the current (maybe not great) way to do that was for any client that sends experimental data that may not work to also send a plain text version as a summary
# [schmarty] I think I should have taken sknebel's advice and made a post about this first 😂
# [schmarty] Plain text might work for some things, but I am imagining features with links and media, too
# [schmarty] As an example, when micropub-based photo posting app /Sunlit rolled out, it sent images not as photo properties, but as img elements in the content
# [schmarty] (it still might?)

@ChrisAldrich ↩️ I like your ideas here and there are many of us who have been discussing it in various nooks of the internet over the past couple of years. It’s a movement and a discussion that has been slowly brewing, but seems to be coming to a boil. [more...]

# [schmarty] welp. a negative result is still a result, right? tried out a possible way of improving the UX for web sign-in using the autocomplete attribute: https://martymcgui.re/2020/05/25/a-hole-in-browser-autofill-support/

# sknebel to update from above, after looking at a few examples it seems all those services actually offer that as a service to the artist so they get a url they can share with links to all the different places you find their music, not as a general lookup service. (for movies/shows that kind of thing exists, but I guess its more about finding it at all, not in the favorite service)
# 
beko sknebel: tricky. I have the same problem with books. Usually I seek out the writers website but it's not that simple. craigalanson·com for example has a whole manifest of "Terms and Conditions" about linking to it that I won't even bother trying to understand it at all. Same for terrypratchettbooks·com - and I dislike to link to yet another silo tracking the **** out of users (or will probably do so
