@jgkoomey @ChrisAldrich @judell A similar service (either self-hosted or subscription-based) is provided by @withknown, although I now see they're pivoting towards education

@grib @withknown Howdy! Check permissions on your upload directory, that error means it couldn't save/read the saved file on the server

@jorgeegomez @withknown I think the company side of things might be, but the core application is still very much about self publishing: https://github.com/idno/Known

Today I will be setting up a private social network so the family can quit @facebook and @instagram. Thinking of using @withknown. Could be a watershed moment for #indieweb when my mom wants to quit @facebook

@harmonygritz @hypervisible @funnymonkey @Autumm @sundilu @Bali_Maha @kreshleman @KateMfD @bonstewart @bbsutton @MeggieODB I quit and then rejoined. It is only way to stay up on local news and debate. Going to quit again. Setting up a @withknown for family. If I can teach my mom to quit and control her privacy good first step. Hard when I think about activism and recruitment. Facebook impt funnel

Known doesn't have a reader does it? Maybe multiuser does

no, it does not

I am on version = "0.9.9" build = 2017051501
#
jeremycherfas
And Quill still s not seeing syndication targets on my install.
#
cweiske
could let quill show you the indieauth bearer token, and send it privately to me?
#
cweiske
you can see it in quill on "settings"
#
cweiske
"access token"
#
jeremycherfas
Yes, I see it.
#
mapkyca
[kevinmarks] There's a stub of one, but nobody has had any time to build it out and no client has so far wanted to pay for it.
#
mapkyca
jeremycherfas: make sure you're using the latest github rather than the package, that's well out of date at this point. I'm trying to put some pressure to get that updated, because most of the "bugs" pushed to github are fixed in the latest builds and it's irritating cutting and pasting the same response :D
#
jeremycherfas
That's odd. I have a gitignore file in the install, but no git.
#
jeremycherfas
And I can see I am not on the latest.
#
jeremycherfas
But I also seem to recall that the last time I tried this, it broke something. Let me see if I can find a record.
#
jeremycherfas
If I want to use the latest github, do I need to preserve anything other than /uploads and config.ini?
#
@cleverdevil
@mestery Hey! 1. Yup. I use Micropub to post using a variety of clients on the front end. I use @withknown as my CMS right now. 2. Tons of good info on https://indieweb.org, but Iā€™d encourage you to join us in our chat (available on both Slack and IRC - http://chat.indieweb.org).

I have a previously authorized quill on my phone that works with hosted known, but trying it fresh on the web doesn't get syndication
#
jeremycherfas
Do you know what build you are on?
#
[kevinmarks]
how do I check? http://known.kevinmarks.com/ - is there something in admin?
#
jeremycherfas
No, I don't think so. There is a `version.known` file that gives version and build

cweiske
jeremycherfas, if you are on https://quill.p3k.io/new, the syndication targets list is empty, right?
#
Loqi
Quill
#
cweiske
what happens if you click on "refresh list"?
#
cweiske
internally http://quill.p3k.io/micropub/syndications is called, which should return some json data
#
Loqi
Quill
#
cweiske
which uses ?q=syndicate-to instead of ?q=config what your known 0.9.9 instance does not support
#
jeremycherfas
Nothing seems to happen. The box below vanishes, but there is not indication that anything has hapened.
#
cweiske
open that syndications URL I gave you manually. what do you see?
#
jeremycherfas
I was just looking in the console. The main problem seems to be "error":"<url> malformed"

jeremycherfas
Shall I create a gist of the response?
#
cweiske
that looks like a quill bug
#
cweiske
quill does not build a complete URL and thus fails to fetch the targets
#
cweiske
let's see if I can reproduce that here
#
jeremycherfas
I'm trying to work out how best to upgrade known to the latest build, so that may be outdated. But if it is a Quill bug then I suppose it should be fixed going forward.

@ChrisAldrich
@jorgeegomez Interesting that you reference @withknown. It's actually what I personally used to reply to these tweets and own this part of the conversation! It's a spectacular self-hosted &amp; paid option. eg: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2018/jgkoomey-judell-as-an-inexpensive-model-of-this-approach-microblog @jgkoomey @judell @mapkyca

#
cweiske
how long have you been logged into quill?
#
cweiske
did you try turning it off and on again?
#
cweiske
s/turning off/logging out/
#
jeremycherfas
No. I didn't. I can try that.
#
cweiske
locally it all works (known 0.9.9 and quill master)
#
jeremycherfas
I logged out and back in. I see the message about No syndication targets.
#
jeremycherfas
I click on refresh list.
#
jeremycherfas
Now I see it EatPodcast on Twitter.
#
jeremycherfas
And I am utterly mystified, as I have not changed anything in Known.
[adamrice] joined the channel
#
cweiske
quill had some quirk in your user data and did not find the micropub endpoint URL when fetching the syndication targets
#
cweiske
probably because aaronpk changed the internals at some point in time and you have been logged in since before
#
mapkyca
jeremycherfas: Take a backup of uploads etc + database, but it should be ok. I upgrade in place with git pull and so far I've not had a problem
#
aaronpk
yeah quill caches the endpoints
#
jeremycherfas
Ahah! Well, that's excellent news. I suppose now I ought to give it a spin.
#
aaronpk
whoa how did quill end up trying to make a request to just `?q=syndicate-to`
#
cweiske
it does it when doing "refresh list"
#
cweiske
which is why it works at all for known 0.9.9
#
jeremycherfas
mapkyca See above ^^^ I have it working now (I think, I hope) so will wait to upgrade to master to a time when I am less busy.
#
cweiske
initially, it gets the syndication list from ?q=config
#
aaronpk
gets a screwdriver
#
cweiske
no. it'll break jeremycherfas' setup
#
cweiske
just now that we got it going
#
aaronpk
hm looks like it would have crafted that URL if there was no micropub endpoint for the user
#
jeremycherfas
Don't wait on account of me. I'd be better off upgrading to the latest build anyway, I suspect.
#
aaronpk
which is confusing because you shouldn't have been able to log in without a micropub endpoint
#
jeremycherfas
We know there's a micropub endpoint, and a media endpoint, because I posted to them with Quill this morning.
#
cweiske
aaronpk, I guess he logged in long time ago
#
cweiske
and then you changed the $user structure
#
cweiske
and now quill couldn't find the endpoint anymore
#
aaronpk
I *think* that column has always been in the database
#
cweiske
but that does not explain why jeremy could post
#
jeremycherfas
Guys, just tell me this: should I attempt to upgrade my Known to the latest master now?

@jgmac1106
@megarush1024 Just got done setting up a @withknown instance for my family, They all want off facebook and instagram now. #indieweb

my phone (which has an old cookied version) has syndication options, but not on the mac, whne I load fresh
#
cweiske
jeremycherfas, yes

jeremycherfas: there have been ooodles of bugs fixed since the last release, and any further fixes/features will be going into master. So, if the release build is working for you, cool, if not, then any fixes will go into master

Is there a map for when a next release might come out, mapkyca?
#
jeremycherfas
All went well with the upgrade (not via git). Thanks mapkyca.
#
jeremycherfas
Thanks too for the warning about my old PHP version. I'll get onto that.
#
cweiske
great that the update worked.
#
cweiske
does syndication work now?
#
jeremycherfas
It worked before, and I still see the target.
#
jeremycherfas
I'll check.
#
jeremycherfas
No, it doesn't. Quill posts OK to know, but although I see the Syndication Target button, it does not send to Twitter. I think I'll log out and back in again. :)
#
jeremycherfas
BTW, is there a way to have the Quill bookmarklet open in a new tab in Safari?
#
cweiske
how do you syndicate in known? do you use bridgy?
#
jeremycherfas
No. The Twitter plugin. Better check that that is up and running. Bridgy for backfeeds.

cweiske
awesome!
#
cweiske
so one of your long standing issues is finally solved.
#
jeremycherfas
It'll be interesting to see how this affects my use of Quill. Especially if I can fix the other niggle ^^^
#
cweiske
what's the other niggle?
#
jeremycherfas
Open Quill bookmarklet in a new tab.
#
mapkyca
Zegnat: not that I know of :) but I am pushing for that, and I might see if I can sort out an interim solution for folk who can't track master. I can't speak *officially* for the project, questions about release schedule are still questions for Ben or Erin...
#
Zegnat
Gotcha, thanks anyway!

jeremycherfas, maybe you should try omnibear for in-browser posting
#
jeremycherfas
Zegnat and I tried it in Chrome and it didn't want to play.
#
jeremycherfas
I currently use Safari mostly, and Chrome when I need to do something Safari won't do.
#
Zegnat
There have been a few updates since then, I believe. Also on discovering endpoints. So it might work now.
#
jeremycherfas
Might try again them, tomorrow. Gott go cook.
#
jeremycherfas
It's been a hectic and productive day here for me.
#
cweiske
I also had issues with it, but with 1.0.0 it works nicely in both firefox and chrome
