gRegor: This will make posting activities a bit easier!
#
gRegor
Awesome! Let me know if you run into any issues with indiebookclub
#

No worries <@1114282188880494602>

If you're on WordPress I think it works just fine with that. Unsure about other Micropub servers.
#
GWG
If it doesn't work great with WordPress, someone tell me
#

I'm messing with it now-- will let you know in a bit. (this GA/'Bama game has me wrapped up though!)
#
s​tarrwulfe
Hmm. Theres no search function?
#
s​tarrwulfe
Like if I punch in the ISBN or some of the title, can it grab the rest from OpenLibrary?
#
gRegor
Yeah, no search currently
#
s​tarrwulfe
Does work though!
#
gRegor
I've considered it though, also requested to pull in book covers: https://github.com/gRegorLove/indiebookclub/issues/10

Great!

Interesting project, sounds a bit like an amped up webmention.io: https://personal-web.org/

The Open Library API is pretty straight forward, just hasn't been a high priority for me. Would need to build the UX for it since Open Library doesn't have everything.
#
gRegor
Like "this book wasn't found, but continue to add it". Maybe even with option to submit it to Open Library. Current book I'm reading isn't in there for example.

You could crib notes from Benji's project-- he has the search function list in there. Bonus if you're working with NodeJS too.

Yep, he has a pretty solid search function in /src/js/Editors/BookEditor.js
#
s​tarrwulfe
(doesn't help if you can't find it in open library but could make a fallback that could use Bookshop.org maybe?)
#
gRegor
It's in PHP, but again, the API itself isn't the hard part. Just more moving parts to manage :)

starrwulfe just in case you're interested I'm in the process of releasing "listens" for sparkles too. I did some refactoring so will be adding games pretty soon too

I just had this idea for how to further tweak my IndieAuth code. In the Micropub code, we took the form encoded and turned it into the json encoded form, so we didn't have to handle two cases. I think I may move around some of the discovery code to do the same. Pull all the link headers and put them into the same format as the metadata json.
#
GWG
I have too many repeating versions of discovery for different circumstances

hi sorry for the hiccups, still trying to wrap my head around irc to be honest
#
roxwize
on bridgyfed it tells me i need to "include u-url and u-syndication links in those posts" if i want it to be syndicated to other platforms
#
roxwize
how'd i include a u-syndication link if it hasnt been syndicated yet
#
sknebel
where does it say that?
#
sknebel
that's in the section about backfeed, not publishing
#
roxwize
will bridgy publish all the h-entries it finds in my websites or just the ones that my index page links to with "feed"? coz i only want it to syndicate the /notes/ entries, not the ones in /diary/

it'll only publish what you tell it to, i.e. you send it a webmention for
