Folks editing & contributing to IndieWeb / Social Web specifications, please consider joining the Social CG meeting this Friday: https://events.indieweb.org/2023/10/october-2023-swicg-community-meeting-b4O0dmbEGJPo [KevinMarks] [snarfed] [aaronpk] (anyone else?)
#
GWG
[tantek]: I have the day off Friday, maybe I'll make an appearance.
#
[tantek]
GWG, I think you would find it quite illuminating and educational. Also your opinion as an implementer is quite welcome
#
GWG
[tantek]: I resisted during the 2014 period, if you remember. I had just joined the community then
#
[tantek]
I remember. Now you're the (co-)author of lots of WordPress plugins that implement lots of key specifications. You should prepare a brief intro statement about your role & experience as an implementer as I suspect folks will want to know when people introduce themselves. And it's good to get that on the record.
#
GWG
I will have to see how these intros go
#

To know what to state
#
[tantek]
GWG, how would you introduce yourself in <1min in terms of all the IndieWeb / Social Web specs you have implemented? Prepare something for that in advance and that will work fine. Other intros are all over the map.

It worked! I put hashtags and plain p-category markup in my most recent blog post (article), and BridgyFed federating it got it to show up in Mastodon tag pages!

Anyone a firefox expert? Firefox on my laptop has a corrupted local storage. If I use it in incognito mode it works. What do I delete or reset to fix this? This breaks Slack and AWS on it
#

does trying to delete local data for the sites help?
#

(from the lock-icon menu in the url bar?)
#
[KevinMarks]
when I try through the firefox UI it still gives the corrupted data alerts. As it's across more than one site i think it's a bigger problem

Hi, I have a static web page that is generated from a homebrewed code running locally then the output is copied over to Raspberry PI.
#
t​haidaree
I didn't have any special things running in it. I try to keep it simple.
#
t​haidaree
I have it for a while on my agenda to redesign the page and right now is a perfect opportunity to include webmentions.
#
t​haidaree
How would you go about it if you were making a static page?
#
t​haidaree
I presume webmention.io to receive them, JS to display them? What to use to send them?
#
[schmarty]
the main strategy i've seen is to run a process to find new or changed posts and send mentions for them. some look for new entries in a feed, for example.
#
[schmarty]
for my own site, my build process looks for new and changed HTML files during an `rsync` step and uses that list to look for new mentions to send out.
#
rubenwardy
I use a python script at build time, and then a JS script for getting newer mentions
#
rubenwardy
I currently only support like mentions

#
rubenwardy
I handle mention-of and in-reply-to manually
#
rubenwardy
as I want to moderate
#
rubenwardy
as for sending - I do that manually using telegraph/indiewebify as the site isn't published until _after_ the CI pipeline to build it runs - so there's not really a place to put the webmention send
#
t​haidaree
humm, so I can do the script during `rsync`. that seems to be the easiest way to go. should I be worried if it repeats the mention?
#
t​haidaree
got it. thanks everyone!
