[snarfed] capjamesg that was for RSS output, right? RSS authors are anachronistic and email-oriented, their format is '[email] ([name])' . https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#ltauthorgtSubelementOfLtitemgt
#
[snarfed] when granary doesn't find an email address, it uses - as a placeholder
#
[tantek] ^ good reason to not use / publish RSS
#
[tantek] its treatment of authors is anachronistic

capjamesg[d] aaronpk re: https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2023-06-02/1685735975968900. Have you done any more thinking on this?
#
Loqi [preview] [aaronpk] capjamesg: one of my thoughts that's been in the back of my mind for a while is to automatically generate a slug for my posts. Right now, I've been finding myself manually choosing slugs that are 1-2 words, based on the most significant words in the ...
#
aaronpk wow a year already
#
aaronpk same thoughts, not done anything yet
#
capjamesg[d] I have been playing around with this and have something, but it's maybe not ready yet.
#
aaronpk neat
#
aaronpk maybe i can use AI for this lol
#
capjamesg[d] It uses entropy and some classical NLP to filter out less relevant words in a title while keeping more relevant ones.
#
capjamesg[d] You can use AI. But who wants a slug generator that takes seconds to run and might not give you a good answer 😄
#
capjamesg[d] I was reading the /slug page, which is how I found that note.

#
[tantek] what is a slug
#
Loqi A 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
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d] more in https://indieweb.org/slug#Brainstorming
#
[tantek] ^ also "playing around with this and have something, but it's maybe not ready yet" is more than enough to be worthy of adding some thoughts to that Brainstorming section
#
capjamesg[d] [tantek] "I was reading the /slug page, which is how I found that note."
#
capjamesg[d] 😄
#
capjamesg[d] I had already read the page.
#
capjamesg[d] I'll document when I have something open. I may blog about it.
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d] I figured since you cited a chat message instead of the wiki page that you may have missed the wiki page.
#
[tantek] Always cite the wiki page rather than a chat archive, to encourage expanding the wiki page
