#[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
#[chrisaldrich]useful if you're using Brid.gy with Webmention for getting responses from Twitter back to your site.)
#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?
#aaronpkmyself and many others use a single file per post
#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)
#Russ_Bain1With something like p3k is the basic procedure: enter data via web-portal, server saves to flat-files, server renders to screen?
#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
