cambridgeport90[ <vikanezrimaya> "The better option would be of co" <- I agree. But when hosting oneself, how do we deal with issues like the log in page being hammered?A friend of a friend of mine did that, and he won't do it anymore because of the fact his instance was backed as well by Active Directory (why the log on page was being hammered with bad authentication reuests, though, I'm not sure.)

# capjamesg[d] Thanks!
# capjamesg[d] What is hosting?
# 
Loqi Web hosting can be the primary regular cost in maintaining an IndieWeb site; this page lists several options from free on up depending on your publishing needs, like a static, shared, private, or dedicated server https://indieweb.org/hosting
# capjamesg[d] What is the "proper" way to create a custom post type using Micropub?
# capjamesg[d] Say I wanted to create a coffee post with information like
{"varietal": "SL24-", "region": "Kenya"}. Should I nest those attributes as "properties": {ATTRIBUTES}?# capjamesg[d] Most of the examples in the docs are traditional IndieWeb actions like create a post, bookmark, like, etc.
# capjamesg[d] vikanezrimaya Re: "Don't forget to save the "me" value too!" I did forget for a bit but I remembered yesterday 🙂
# sknebel (re "object to keep them together", e.g. in a review the details about the coffee would maybe live in the item object: http://microformats.org/wiki/h-review)

@adoran2 Are there any paid WordPress themes out there with good implementations of webmentions, or is this not (yet?) mainstream enough? https://indieweb.org/Webmention (twitter.com/_/status/1427196725014548480)
# Loqi ok, I added "https://arcadiamashups.blogspot.com/2009/10/get-current-url-bookmarklet-pattern.html" to the "See Also" section of /bookmarklet https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=76644&oldid=71514

# [Gabriele_Girel] Hej everyone! Dunno if this is the right place, but when I set up webmentions on my website I wrote a short javascript library that can be easily used by anyone. It is also easily extendable with more features, so if anyone is interested in trying this out any feedback is always welcome 😄 https://github.com/ggirelli/easy-webmention-js
# 
jamietanna capjamesg[d] something I'm starting to favour is making it i.e. a `drink-of` a URL, and that URL then contains all information about the coffee. Then when rendering the site / have some cache in our site, we can look up that URL and provide an `h-cite` of the data
# capjamesg[d] I like that.
# capjamesg[d] I think drink-of would be appropriate in this case.
# jamietanna [Gabriele_Girel]++ awesome! I've been using fluffy's https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js/ but this looks very interesting and I'll have a look at it too
# capjamesg[d] I want to report on coffees I am drinking. The original idea was to style them more like notes but having the option to add meta information (i.e. roaster, varietal) would be useful.
# capjamesg[d] Right now I support creating a coffee "note" post and creating replies to posts.
# capjamesg[d] (And sort of updating! Only sort of -- still a lot of spec tests to pass.)
# jamietanna capjamesg[d] yeah, then the benefit is that you could i.e. create a central service ( /pipes ) which would allow others to do the same. But there's also some info that may be specific to yours, so may be a bit more complex and may be worth doing just for you right now
# capjamesg[d] I am just doing what I can for myself right now. I am still very much trying to understand micropub. My code needs cleaned!
# capjamesg[d] jamietanna I came across your blog post on building a micropub client yesterday. It was a good read!
# [Gabriele_Girel] thanks @jamietanna 🙂
# jamietanna Thanks! It's definitely been handy to have a few things just for my own use cases, on top of others' Micropub clients I use a fair bit
# jamietanna re your thoughts yesterday about sending the Bearer token in a cookie, I'd opted for encrypting the cookie with a shared secret owned by the Micropub client, but then when the form is rendered it's in the `access_token` hidden field
# capjamesg[d] Yeah. I might do that a bit further down the line.
# capjamesg[d] That was something that came to mind as an extra security step.
# capjamesg[d] jamietanna let me know if you received a webmention. It's the first one created from my Micropub client to be sent to someone else.
# jamietanna capjamesg[d] I did receive it, yes!

Zegnat capjamesg[d]: for comparison, it might be interesting to check https://github.com/aaronpk/Teacup and how it shapes the entries it posts. That is another drink tracker for Micropub
# Zegnat Just to test, I just hit the Coffee button in Teacup. This is the entry that got through to the Micropub server: https://sink.zegnat.net/1woTRq6fZm7t7jnm5eITiKWsAxY
