[jgarber] [tb] I’m sorry for the delay, but I was able to take a cursory look at your PR from a few days ago. Will take a more thorough look when I’m back in front of a computer.

#
[tb] Hey np [jgarber], I appreciate it! I've been hard at work the last few days trying to port my indieauth_discovery library to TypeScript for a Next.js app
#
[jgarber] Oh, my. 😄

jacky what are databases
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "databases" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "databases is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jacky what is a database
#
Loqi A database is software and or storage accessed via the software for storing data in a structured way, used by some indieweb projects https://indieweb.org/database
#
jacky hm
#
jacky I thought that'd be more useful / relevant
#
jacky hmm had to go into the `database-antipattern` to see the bit about longevity

@sonicrocketman I need proofreaders for my book, Going Indie: A complete guide to becoming an independent software developer. If you're a techie or an indie-dev and you want to help out, get in touch! DM, Webmention, or my email at http://brianschrader.com/about (twitter.com/_/status/1305724571828584453)
#
[tantek] not sure I've seen Webmention used as a contact method like that but ok!

[jeremycherfas] I don’t make much use of my exit data, and certainly not at that level of detail.

[tantek] I got an email supposedly from Google "New Mobile Usability issue detected for site http://tantek.com/"
#
[tantek] Mobile Usability issues detected on http://tantek.com/
#
[tantek] Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 1 Mobile Usability issues:

[tantek] The following issues were found on your site:

[tantek] *Top Issues*

[tantek] To the owner of http://tantek.com/:

#
[tantek] (which is obviously false because I use media queries and just double-checked, when resizing the window narrower it works fine to narrow the content)
#
[tantek] So there seems to be a bug in how Google's crawler checks the "width of content". In case anyone else gets an erroneous email like this from Google
jgmac1106_ joined the channel
#
swentel [tantek], maybe it complains about the footer section?
#
cweiske yes, I also have this problem
#
swentel because I'm getting a horizontal scrollbar there if I make the window narrow
#
[tantek] really? which browser?
#
[tantek] hmm, maybe there is a slight range, I tried very narrow and didn't see anything
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
swentel [tantek], firefox
#
swentel let me take screenshot
#
[tantek] yup, found it, it was in between range before my narrower media query kicked in, due to an image being too wide in the sidebar
#
[tantek] just adjusted with max-width:100%
#
[tantek] swentel, reload
#
swentel yeah, I couldn't reproduce anymore:)
#
[tantek] nice! ok well that was trickier than expected but apparently helpful
#
[tantek] what is Content wider than screen
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Content wider than screen" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Content wider than screen is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
swentel hmm still a scrollbar, but maybe for only one pixel or so
#
swentel https://ibb.co/jWBL0LD
#
swentel played a bit with the max width on the body, setting to 95% instead of that none, however, I'm no CSS expert, so there might be a more elegant solution :)
#
sknebel I wonder how they test these and why they don't tell you the specific case where it breaks
#
[tantek] unfortunately that ruins the full bleed effect on the photos that I want where they go all the way to the edge (similar to how photos go to the edge of the screen in IG)
#
[tantek] but I did find the extra 2 pixels. now to figure out where they're coming from
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
swentel [tantek], hmm, I think negative margin on div.stream li.hentry
#
swentel if I set to 0, than it's fine
#
swentel *then
#
[tantek] right, that also ruins the full bleed effect on the photos
[Murray] joined the channel
#
[tantek] swentel, the scrollbar for only one pixel or so should be fixed now, there should be no horizontal scrolling at all, not even a little nudge
#
swentel [tantek], yep, perfect now!
#
[tantek] thanks for double-checking, appreciated swentel++
#

#
[tantek] at some point I need to rewrite *a lot* of my blog styling (especially layout) using CSS "variables" to reduce the number of places that use the same literal numbers / units
#
[tantek] well that's something done for my site for HWC West lol
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[grantcodes] That's also a classic mac developer problem since it has hidden scrollbars by default it's very difficult to notice

JK_na <jamietanna[m] "Re dumping all to file, if you a"> After finally figuring out how to dump the MF2 request to a file and understand the different categorisation of `mp-photo-alt` as a _command I managed to hack the micropub endpoint to output the alts into the frontmatter of the resultant yaml file.. now if I can figure out how to get hugo reference two arrays on with the same index, I'll be laughing.. as opposed to crying

jamietanna[m] Awesome stuff! Let me know if you need a hand with the Hugo stuff - I run Hugo too so may be able to help 🙃
jeremycherfas joined the channel
#
JK_na OK, so basically, in the yaml frontmatter I now have an array called 'alt' and another called 'photo' - the first contains each of the `mp-photo-alt` entries and the latter the URLs of the photos (I tried fruitlessly to get the micropub backend to reformat this, as I'm sure I can get the desired results easier in php).. I'm trying to understand how I can align or reference both arrays at the same time to print the
#
JK_na matching URL and alt text.. any ideas?
#
JK_na Ideally, I'd have the photo array containing URL and alt text but I'm php'd out for today

#
jamietanna JK_na you could probably grab the length of one array, then do a `range` between 0 and len-1 ?
#
jamietanna then use `index` into each array?
#
jamietanna alternatively you could tweak it so it stores it as a single array with two keys?

JK_na <jamietanna "alternatively you could tweak it"> So far I've managed to pull the URL and alt text into a 2 dimensional array in php, I'm now just trying to work through the logic to get it to output in the correct format for the yaml frontmatter
