rMdes been working heavily with claude code to implement a microsub enndpoint for indiekit, I had to consume a lot of the Ekster ewcellent wiki, indieweb.org page for microsub, but also lurked into Monocle and Aperture for inspiration both for the implementation and thhe "reader" feature
#
rMdes its playing very well with other microsub reader out there, or indiepass on android, probably still tons of things to improve but the result is that it made me read more indieweb powered blogs, interact more with these blogs from my reader directly, its very handy, also works without any external app, I can use the reader as a standalone to interact with indieweb, also worked on a webmention-sended plugin for indiekit to automate sending webmentions

Zegnat What is Heroku?
#
Loqi Heroku is a platform as a service (PaaS) that supports Ruby, Java, Node.js, Scala, Clojure, Python, PHP and others, was acquired by Salesforce in 2010, and is used by a number of IndieWeb sites and projects https://indieweb.org/heroku
#
Zegnat What does it mean that Heroku is “transitioning to a sustaining engineering model” and will probably not be “introducing new features”? https://www.heroku.com/blog/an-update-on-heroku/
#
rMdes sounds like they are going to focus on AI and ultimately something else will happen that will make people run away from it ?
#
Zegnat Added it to https://indieweb.org/Heroku#History with 2 blog posts about it. Not sure at what point we might want to change the description up top, if we want to not recommend it
#
Zegnat Might be something to comment on by people who are using Heroku

[tantek] Sustaining in this context sounds like a euphemism for life support
#
[tantek] Like last stage before slow shutdown
#
[tantek] Sounds like one of those common post-acquisition stages
#
[snarfed] somewhat unusual in this case in that the acquisition was 16y ago 😆 but otherwise yes
#
[tantek] IIRC there have been other degradations in service during those 16y that broke various things that folks here were running. I think a couple of [KevinMarks] projects were impacted

#
[KevinMarks] I think I was on a special deal as a Salesforce employee and that got removed a few years later, but they did manage to break the github integration at some point. @voxpelli still has his webmention receiver running there

Zegnat JSON << [https://jsonwtf.org/quiz/ JSON WTF] - a 35 question quiz to see if you know what makes valid JSON
#
Loqi ok, I added "[https://jsonwtf.org/quiz/ JSON WTF] - a 35 question quiz to see if you know what makes valid JSON" to the "See Also" section of /JSON https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=108375&oldid=104598
