grab them right from [eddie]'s website

one from monocole, one from unicyclic

I still think it's correct to emphasize and lead with mobile screenshots

[jgmac1106] who would such an image serve? and why?
#
[tantek]
part of what we have deliberately avoided is such marketecture diagrams that turn out to be nearly useless, and almost always deceiving
#
[tantek]
what is marketecture?
#
Loqi
marchitecture is a term for architecture-like diagrams that contain lots of jargon, buzzwords, or marketing phrases for sales or political reasons yet make little actual sense, especially if you look at the apparent or implied relationships therein https://indieweb.org/marketecture
#
[jgmac1106]
it has all the building blocks in a hexagon shape, it would serve us making these presentations

[tantek]
you just want something pretty to look cool?

"make little sense" is dependent on the author, not I want to present information in multiple modalities so it is learned through repeated exposure.

what are algorithms
#
Loqi
An algorithm in general is a series of steps used to to automatically perform computations and other operations to produce a result; on the IndieWeb many standards have user-centric algorithms for peer to peer site interactions; social media silos have user-exploitative algorithms for advertising and reinforcing addictive behaviors https://indieweb.org/algorithms

Wow [jgmac1106] that’s a pretty impressive diagram! Especially for a first draft!
#
[tantek]
The only thing that threw me is Isabel syndicating her *comment* to social media sites when the original was not. That’s a bit odd and I don’t think anyone actually does that?

[tantek]
What if Janice syndicates her cat picture to social media instead?

This might be too complicated for the diagram, but the one thing that throws me is Microsub is set as coming FROM janice.com TO isabel's phone.
#
[eddie]
I'm not sure if there is a simple way to depict what is actually happening, which is isabel's website (or external service, but we can keep it as her website for now) reads janice's website and then the arrow would go from janice's website to her phone
#
[eddie]
That said, for laypeople maybe the current arrow direction is the best? Just wondering if it will cause any confusion that the reader is actually interacting with janice.com (which it's not)
#
[tantek]
the POSSE arrow is my only big concern, as noted

the rest is allowable simplification for the sake of general communication

do you think that's better / worse / or just different from a "stacked (hex) blocks" diagram of building blocks? at least for presentation / slide purposes

jgmac1106 has 41 karma in this channel over the last year (96 in all channels)

the steps are fine (although I think 2 and 3 can be combined, you don't really post into the reader right)
#
swentel
I would also start the syndication arrow from janice.com
#
[eddie]
That's a good point, swentel. Step 2/3 would be something like "Janice uses her social reader to publish a post over a standard called micropub to her website" (might be able to be shortened, but something to that effect
#
swentel
same with 5 and 6 no, they can be combined again?
#
swentel
maybe we can make multiple diagrams
#
swentel
one with only site-to-site interaction
#
swentel
another one where a post gets syndicated to twitter
#
swentel
and then a backfeed comes back

swentel
makes it clearer I think

swentel
which I did in my talk

I think there are benefits both to simpler diagrams (one per protocol?) to illustrate what it is doing, and to an overall ecosystem diagram that shows how the indieweb building blocks fit together to create a complete system interaction

I tried to design it so the text can be leveled for audience

One is wrong is that you do not log into phone.

The latter is what I think [jgmac1106] was doing and I think is (likely) more beneficial than just abstract building blocks as squares / hexes IMO
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] one is not really wrong. you do have to sign-in to a reader on your phone using your indieauth
#
[tantek]
it's explainably correct
#
[jgmac1106]
Yeah might just log into app

[tantek]
but again, using IndieAuth

[jgmac1106]
Gotta go son woke up
