#
[tantek] Another thought about Meetable, rather than comparing it to Meetup, how far is Meetable from replicating http://Upcoming.org?
barnaby joined the channel
#
aaronpk upcoming has user accounts and you can save events to your profile IIRC, that's probably the biggest difference right now
#
GWG How easy is it to set up an instance?
#
aaronpk of which?
#
aaronpk i spent quite a bit of time on an installer wizard for meetable, and there's a one click launch on heroku button (tho i haven't actually tested that in a while)
#
GWG meetable if I wanted to set one up on my server

[tantek] aaronpk, is there a feed on Meetable of all events that a particular "account" (i.e. sign-in / domain) has RSVPd to? follow-up is there an *embed* that lists those events in a nice iframe-friendly layout for embedding on your personal site? follow-up to that, how easy/hard would it be for people to place such an embed on their indieweb User: page?
#
[tantek] that would sorta address the "save events to your profile" feature of upcoming

#
aaronpk Interesting idea
#
[tantek] like maybe, interested, or going(yes), not "no"
#
[tantek] I can file an issue to capture it at least
#
[tantek] and frankly, such "profiles" were public in upcoming and RSVPs are public on Meetable, so it would be fine for such feeds / embeds to also be public
#
[tantek] that would also work to enable the iframes "by default" and "just work" without any auth etc. if folks embedded them on personal sites. I realize that may require some caching work though
#
[tantek] one thing that upcoming did really well in presentation was the very high-density (alphabetized?) sidebar list of who is going to an event so you could quickly scan it
#
[tantek] I don't remember if it had separate sections in that sidebar for "going" vs "interested" but that would also be relatively straightforward (to design)
#
[tantek] while currently the RSVPs section at the bottom I think lists them like comments, in order of when they were sent
#
[tantek] at the bottom of a Meetable event*

#
[tantek] what is Mathober
#
Loqi 🔢 Mathober (and hashtag #mathober) is an annual blogging challenge for the month of October with a theme of being a space for everyone to explore and express math creatively on their blogs https://indieweb.org/Mathober
#
[tantek] ^ [Sophia_wood] I took the liberty of assigning an emoji to Mathober (many http://indieweb.org pages have their own emoji), feel free to change or remove if there's something better or you prefer or nothing! or if there's a graphic logo you can add that with the "pageicon" template
