[tantek] This is a good one for the devs (who may be considering incorporating new tech into their sites). Stay skeptical my friends: https://caseorganic.medium.com/how-to-identify-truthy-tech-trends-70f553c5a445

[tantek] And this: a case for anti-SEO, from [Jeremy_Keith] https://adactio.com/journal/20315

[Ana_R] I've been wanting to create a micropub endpoint and document my progress step by step 😞 just need to find the time...

#
[snarfed] hey [aaronpk] out of curiosity, what's the status of http://webmention.io development? https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues has a bunch of bug reports that would be nice to triage. should we evangelize and see if any Ruby people here are interested in taking that on?
#
aaronpk not a bad idea
#
aaronpk i am annoyed about a few tech decisions I made long ago and would like to fix them, but it's going to be a chunk of work
#
aaronpk the other problem is it's using an obsolete ORM too, so really needs some big updates to continue any significant development
#
[snarfed] yeah I figured. ok so then the main q is, would you welcome other people diving in? or not until you figure out the internal roadmap?
[tw2113_Slack_] joined the channel
#
aaronpk I'd be happy with help on the small fixes, but fair warning it will be a chunk of work to set up a dev environment for it :-/
#
[snarfed] fair. ok so then maybe feature request for you to think through its future roadmap, support expectations, and whether/when/how other people could get involved?
#
[snarfed] happy to file if you want 😎
#
aaronpk sure :)
#
aaronpk interesting stats https://media.aaronpk.com/2023/07/12073950-6649.png
#
aaronpk oh wait that's just for my website 😂
#

[aciccarello] What was the big spike?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "big spike" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "big spike is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk no idea

#

#
c​apjamesg Did you do a HN experiment too [snarfed]?
#
[snarfed] yup! pretty crudely. https://github.com/snarfed/hackermention#readme

#
capjamesg [KevinMarks] Any idea what could be causing this? https://github.com/capjamesg/bsky.link/issues/20

#
gRegor [snarfed], I got several webmentions for "Announce" activities from BF that don't seem to mention my url
#
gRegor Example https://ap.brid.gy/convert/web/https:/puz.fun/users/dave/statuses/110701404667266888/activity

Loqi [preview] [🌮 Dave Millar 🌮] shared this.
#
gRegor looks like a repost of someone else
#
gRegor Looks like 32 of them from various accounts since 2023-07-12 05:23:34 (UTC, I think). Let me know if there's any other debug info I can provide
#
gRegor Helped me surface a bug on my responses page, though. It doesn't show anything if the queue has 20+ webmentions pending/failed processing XD
#
[snarfed] thanks for reporting gRegor! looks like a casualty of the new activity router, https://snarfed.org/2023-07-11_bridgy-fed-status-update-2 , I'll look
#
[snarfed] (I only canaried it in prod for a few hrs before rolling it back, just to catch stuff like this, so you shouldn't see that again for at least a while)
