[chrisaldrich]Russ_Bain: For using WithKnown, there's a plugin for syndicating (/POSSE) to Twitter: https://github.com/idno/twitter. You'll have to set up an API key and a Twitter App for doing it, but it's reasonably well documented. Once that is set up, you can click a checkbox/button and your notes are automatically sent to Twitter and the returned u-syndication link is stored in WithKnow for display on the post. (This last part is also
Russ_Bain1[chrisaldrich] Thank you. What I really want to know is how people save the data "permanently". Do they use a db? I didn't find anything on that in the various indieweb pages. And does Known have some kind of built in db?
Loqistorage in the context of the indieweb usually refers to how you are storing your data, specifically in what kind of storage format(s) https://indieweb.org/storage
[chrisaldrich]Yes, Known is written in .php and has a SQL database in which the data is kept (though I think there is support for one or two other database types, though I've not used them). Various systems have different methods of storage as aaron and Loqi indicate.
Russ_Bain1"What is storage?" - I see flat-files are preferred here over databases. Is a flat-file just a regular file (text file or similar) that gets sequentially written to?
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "contained in each file" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "contained in each file is ____", a sentence describing the term)
gRegorThere's a plurality of opinions/practice about storage. Some of use db-driven CMS like WordPress or ProcessWire. There's always tradeoffs of course.
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "slug suffix" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "slug suffix is ____", a sentence describing the term)
LoqiURL design is the practice of deliberately designing URLs, in particular, permalinks, typically for a better UX for everyone who creates, reads, and shares content https://indieweb.org/URL_design
LoqiA slug is a series of words in a permalink URL, usually at the end, that are from or representative of the name or text of a post, and thus part of an overall URL design https://indieweb.org/slug
