[Kupietz] Strange. This whole fediverse syndication thing is still a bit mysterious to me.

burgeonlab [Kupietz]: I didn't you you're on Mastodon Mike! I thought you only on Kwitter. Following now! ;D
#
burgeonlab [capjamesg]: I appreciate you checking it out, James! I had so much fun making them; I also think it looks cool.

MrModem Hey gang, happy monday
#
MrModem I'm having trouble getting the indiewebify.me parser/advisor to grok that there's an image in my h-card. Is it rude if I ask someone for troubleshooting help?
#
[Kupietz] Haha, @burgeonlab I'm not really active on Mastodon, I just syndicate articles from my website there for a little extra publicity and to submit to #indieweb-stream and indienews.
#
[Kupietz] @MrModem, totally appropriate to ask for help... I'd step up but I'm not much good with microformats myself. Stick around, I'm sure someone will pipe up to help. Might help if you share the URL that isn't parsing right, too.
#
burgeonlab [Kupietz]: My RSS reader is a but overloaded, so having an extra place for me to keep up to date with your stuff is good for me ;)
#
burgeonlab MrModem: yeah, if you don't mind giving the link, I can maybe help you look quickly. I'm no good myself but I do have my picture showing so I could see what's the difference between the code.

ZodiacalComet MrModem: I can also offer help if burgeonlab is busy and I'm around when you come back

[capjamesg] MrModem could you share your website URL so we can take a look at your markup?

#
MrModem Capjames, sure! it's at overfit.blog and the h-card is, for testing purposes, right above the hero section
#
MrModem I thought it might be that I was using a relative URL first, but changing it to the full URL didn't help indiewebify.me recognize the image
#
[capjamesg] aaronpk https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foverfit.blog%2F doesn’t show a photo property for the h-card even though there is one in the page HTML.

#
[jeremycherfas] You could try putting `p-name` on `<a href="https://overfit.blog/" class="u-url u-uid" rel="me">Mauro Fitermann</a>`
#
[jeremycherfas] [capjamesg] I get an empty card from https://xray.p3k.app/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Foverfit.blog
deathcomestotime and ZodiacalComet joined the channel
#
ZodiacalComet Maybe it doesn't play nice without a `p-name`? Or maybe the `h-feed` affects because the card is outside of it?
#
ZodiacalComet [capjamesg] mf2py returns the card with the photo property
#
MrModem the h-card can go in the h-feed?!
#
MrModem I'll add a p-name too, thanks for the reminder
#
ZodiacalComet While adding a `p-author`, yes.

#
[tantek] If it's an inconsistency between mf2py and phpmf2 then perhaps a reduced test case or two would be helpful. Both for the right behavior and avoiding the wrong behavior (too permissive / error prone parsing)
#
aaronpk Huh looks like a parser bug!
#
aaronpk The w-16 class is making the parser remove the whole element

#
gRegor More likely the `h-16`. I'll check a bit and file an issue on php-mf2
#
gRegor Or add to one that probably already exists
#
gRegor Huh, there was a fix in 2024 but apparently missed a case! https://github.com/microformats/php-mf2/issues/246
#
gRegor oh wait, there hasn't been a release for a while. I'll still double check with the HTML linked above.
#
gRegor I'll take it over to #microformats
jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
gRegor Btw, here's the slimmed down markup without h-16 that works: http://php.microformats.io/?id=20260421163515562 and with h-16 it breaks: https://php.microformats.io/?id=20260421163539735
#
aaronpk oh that makes more sense that it's the h-16 that breaks it
#
gRegor Confirmed locally that the latter example works with latest, unreleased php-mf2

[tantek] Tailwind-- for abusing class prefixes for badly recreating style attribute features

#
[capjamesg] [artlung] https://mattstein.com/ has a full-width header that scales with your browser that uses clamp.
#
[artlung] [capjamesg] yes. Very specific font size based on the body width: with min size 2rem, max of 22.75 rem. clamp(2rem, 17vw, 22.75rem). It's in a container that maxes at 2000px. Also it has no-wrap on it. And is specific I think to the font being used. So to _reuse_ this code one would need to experiment with what values would work. It's also got ragged right text under it so any misalignment or "not filling" is somewhat hidden. Very
#
[artlung] nice.

gRegor btrem, huh, the ideas forum seems to be public. I wonder if someone needs to approve the post before it's public. I'm browsing https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas and not signed in

gRegor 24-48 hour moderation per https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/ideas-guidelines/idi-p/6, which that time has obviously elapsed

#
[Kupietz] I use `clamp` on my basic :root to set the default font size. Then, my page appearance adjuster plugin grabs the computed size in pixels and runs a javascript that sets it explicitly so the user can adjust it, overriding the initial declaration with an `!important`. Then everything else is set with `rem` units. This is so the fonts all scale up a bit on very large screens, while still leaving it adjustable by the user. I was
#
[Kupietz] screensharing into a friend's computer and saw my front page on his gargantuan monitor and it looked awful, now it expands a bit so it doesn't look like minuscule text boxes floating in a giant ocean of images. It's all kind of a weird hack but it works.
