tantek I added a new feature to dobrado that can do pretty much what you're after. Happy to set it up if people think it would be useful.
#
mblaney
you need to be able to subscribe to an OPML list, not sure how many readers can do that?

#
jacky
why is identity a redirect to personal domain?
#
petermolnar
re volunteers for setting up websites: I like and support the idea, but I have questions; eg. if someone's completely new - no domain, etc- what vendors/services to recommend? I'd like to avoid any bias I might personally have. Same applies for recommending website engine, etc.

Depending on when I can get away from work, I may work on a PR

both of them?
#
aaronpk
yeah normally I link to the resized version
#
aaronpk
it was >5mb which is also just not a good idea to embed on the web page either
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
Sorry, should have done that before uploading them.
#
[Rose]
The 360º picture must have been massive.
#
aaronpk
the easy way is to upload the full photo to the wiki and have it resize it
#
gRegorLove
I have some time to take a stab at https://github.com/indieweb/this-week/issues/17 if someone isn't working on it already. Zegnat, aaronpk?
#
Loqi
[Zegnat] #17 Escape HTML special symbols in text
#
aaronpk
then when you're looking at the photo page on the wiki just copy the URL of the visible photo and it's the resized one
#
aaronpk
gRegorLove: that should be done already :)
#
gRegorLove
oh cool!

I am wondering if there will be an IWC somewhere in the US August 17th-18th?

ah, it's a mistake in the test. so much for going fast. missing the rel=me there
#
sebsel
I will fix it and add a test 5 and send a PR.
#
aaronpk
suggestion: put something in the text that shows up in the parsed result that lets me know whether a photo is expected or not
#
aaronpk
so for example if i'm looking at https://xray.p3k.app/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fauthorship.rocks%2Ftest%2F1%2F&pretty=true I can tell whether it's correct by reading the description there
#
sebsel
hm, good point. I can also just add more photo's.

#
sebsel
hm, it's actually hard to do that without showing it to viewers of the page too.
#
sebsel
I'll have to call the author "William Shakespeare (no photo or url)"
#
sebsel
and that looks weird
#
sebsel
usefulness vs esthetics :(
#
[schmarty]
p-note? :}
#
[schmarty]
oh right this is authorship. maybe aaronpk meant the entry content?
#
aaronpk
yeah in the entry content is fine
#
aaronpk
look how the text here even describes it https://authorship.rocks/test/4/
#
Loqi
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
#
aaronpk
so just include that explanation as the text of the entry so that it's visible in the parsed result
#
aaronpk
since it's already visible on the page
#
sebsel
Hm, maybe I should just do that indeed, and make it easier on myself and future maintainers of not having to come up with good authors for quotes
#
Loqi
[sebsel] #1 Fix test 4 and add test 5
#
aaronpk
no i wasn't suggesting changing the author name
#
sebsel
The other solution I came up is just adding photo's everywhere, and changing the first test to "Anonymous"
#
sebsel
then it's more obvious that there's no photo or url.
#
aaronpk
that works too
#
sebsel
test 3 actually has this fake author page: https://authorship.rocks/test/3/about-patanjali
#
Loqi
Patañjali (your algorithm fetched the author page! Try to solve it without fetching to remove this message.)
#
sebsel
my site will fail that one: I just fetch, that's easier.

Any idea why HWC Nottingham isn't on the list for this Wednesday?
#
[tantek]
jamie, 1. is it on /events? 2. Is it listed as a location on the specific HWC event wiki page?
#
jamietanna|wwwjv
I can definitely see it when loading https://indieweb.org/events/2019-05-29-homebrew-website-club#Nottingham - does it need to be an h-event on the wiki?
#
jamietanna|wwwjv
And I can see it listed on /events, too

Yeah, needs an h-event for the newsletter to parse out the location
#
[tantek]
And that should be semi-automatic as long as the page was created by copy pasting from a prev HWC event page
#
gRegorLove
jamietanna|wwwjv, I see an h-event on the page currently, but no p-location for Nottingham, just a link to the indie event page.
#
[tantek]
Gotta copy paste from another city that has the p-location markup and change the details accordingly
#
[tantek]
copy paste is your friend
