Loqi [Event Updated] artlung.com updated "Sep 30, 2025 10:00am Front End Study Hall #037" changed notes_url https://events.indieweb.org/event/883/history/2412/diff
#
[tantek] WYSIWYG? Or was it the unfulfilled promise of the read write web?
#
gRegor No cricket emoji react in Zoom eh
#
gRegor lol "nerd URLs" via tantek. I missed the full context of the quote, but made me chuckle
#
[tantek] "nerd URLs" implying uncaring webdevs who take GUID from their proprietary database and slam it into the URL. e.g. Google Docs URLs
#
[tantek] have to go but this has been great!
#
gRegor what is omnibear
#
Loqi Omnibear was an open source browser extension for posting text notes, replies, bookmarks, and likes to your website using Micropub created by Keith J https://indieweb.org/omnibear

#
gRegor Ahh, gotcha on the nerd URLs
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] XRay has special XKCD handling too
#
[schmarty] err, that was gibberish, haha
#
[schmarty] gRegor: XRay has special handling for XKCD and I think monocle is relying on that.
#
gRegor makes sense! was just trying that https://xray.p3k.io/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3148%2F&pretty=true
#
gRegor Don't see it there, but maybe Monocle running newer version

#
[artlung] GIFs!
#
[schmarty] GIIIIIFs!
#
[artlung] what is Kapowski?
#
Loqi Kapowski was a Micropub client for posting animated GIFs to your website using Micropub, powered by Gfycat search https://indieweb.org/Kapowski
#
gRegor ZHAIFS!
#
[schmarty] gRegor 😂
#
gRegor I believe I've posted ONE reaction with Kapowski. It was probably to [schmarty] :D
#
gRegor but yeah, I haven't touched HTML sanitizing for incoming webmentions in years. Still just show the plain text.
#
[schmarty] i think you are one of 3 confirmed users (i used it like a half-dozen times at most. aaronpk helped me test so at least briefly supported displaying them.)
#
[schmarty] it was so "easy" when they were just image replies that happened to load an animated image file. webmention display didn't have to treat them differently from other images.
#
[schmarty] anyhoo, very excited to noodle on this with you, Joe!
#
[artlung] I do think I stumbled on Kapowski at one point
#
gRegor what is photo reply
#
Loqi photo reply is a reply with a photo, thus also a photo post that is in-reply-to another post https://indieweb.org/photo_reply
#
gRegor haha https://gregorlove.com/2017/12/han-shrug/
#
gRegor and tada: https://www.kartikprabhu.com/notes/support-photo-replies
#
[schmarty] _perfect_
#
[schmarty] way to self-host the file, too
#
gRegor Yeah I think at some point I decided I should start up my own little repository of them
#
Loqi [preview] [Kartik Prabhu] Do I support photo replies https://indieweb.org/photo_reply ? Looks like I does! but only sometimes!
#
gRegor I *think* that was before Kapowski
#
[schmarty] almost certainly!
#
[artlung] And I have indeed been saying I wished for a Studs Terkel of the web for a while. I love the notion of what Eric M alluded to today.
#
gRegor A what?
#
[artlung] Living history!
#
gRegor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studs_Terkel
#
[schmarty] that _photo!_
#
gRegor Yeah, love the idea for "The story of..."
#
[artlung] SEEK OUT STUDS TERKEL TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO.
#
gRegor lol, ok Ok OK
#
[artlung] As they used to say about people... _"a pistol"_
#
[artlung] It's a less appealing idiom now. But he definitely was.
#
gRegor lol `alt="shrug"` on my example there. Almost perfect.
#
[artlung] Anyway, thanks all for joining - a tremendous FrESH!
#
[schmarty] artlung++ thanks for a great one!
