jimwins follow your nose?
# 
Loqi 👃 follow your nose is an intentional principle for designing discovery algorithms that start with the specific URL you want to discover things about, retrieving headers or contents, and parsing for particular link rel values to URLs to the desired information, in contrast to the “well-known” approach of looking outside the specific URL, like using only its domain and a hardcoded path https://indieweb.org/follow_your_nose
# jimwins gotcha, was looking for that in the 'Brainstorming' section of the link and got confused.

# [develumpen] Last night I pushed a PR to http://micropublish.net to add the possibility of uploading images directly from the text editor.
# [develumpen] Because Trix (the text editor) adds custom properties to the generated HTML, I decided to "clean" the code before posting it to the micropub endpoint.
# [develumpen] Feel free to review and comment
# [develumpen] Do you think is a good idea to use the image's caption as an _alt_?

capjamesg[d] I have just open sourced a tool for prettifying titles so they are consistent, ideal for bookmarking: https://github.com/capjamesg/title-prettier/blob/main/README.md
# AramZS Nifty! I've been needing to clean up logic on my posted bookmark tool. Thanks for posting capjamesg[d]!
# capjamesg[d] AramZS One of the big things that has stopped me from bookmarking is the titles often contain a lot of information I don't want. Such information makes the lists hard to skim.
# capjamesg[d] A domain, maybe with a subpath, is enough authorship context anyway.
# capjamesg[d] those would be nice guidelines to have.
# AramZS Yeah, especially because the complications added to headlines are so varying these days that the Readability Library gave up on trying to clean up titles a few versions ago. They're what I use for my archiving site (it's built into PressForward)
# AramZS The really weird thing is that it actually is terrible for SEO and SMO to have your site's title in the title tag... it's more a human/brand ego thing than it is an SEO thing, or folks who are out of date on the latest practices.
# capjamesg[d] Should my blog posts not have my site title!
# capjamesg[d] *?
# capjamesg[d] Are there accessibility concerns?
# 
[KevinMarks] It depends on context - having the site in it is helpful as part of the context in-browser when you're searching though open tabs
# AramZS Hmmm it isn't an SEO thing, that's all I was thinking of but that's a really great point, what is the a11y standards? It looks like it isn't required but is recommended to include the site title - https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20161007/G88.html
# AramZS I hadn't thought of that
# AramZS capjamesg[d]++
# AramZS Oh, maybe there was some confusion about the ref to the Readability library, that isn't an a11y thing, it's a scraping tool for pulling information about sites - https://github.com/mozilla/readability
# Loqi Readability was a bookmarking and reading related service that shut down 2016-09-30 https://indieweb.org/Readability
# AramZS [tantek] I can just update the wiki right?
# capjamesg[d] I love Readability, the Mozilla project.
# 
[tantek] yeah, ok to update the /Readability page to describe the current thing, and then move the existing stuff about the past thing to a historical section.
# AramZS Def, will queue that up

aaronpk the `client_id` that indielogin.com uses for indieauth is now https://indielogin.com/id

[manton] I’m adding server-side support in http://Micro.blog for any clients using the new cient_id. Will roll it out in the next couple of days.
