# 20:37 melvster anybody here using "fitness" activities ... eg pedometer, running, health ? bblfish joined the channel
# 21:23 melvster aaronpk: are you doing anything with it currently? or intention to use it with activity streams? # 21:23 melvster I started working on a pedometer to interact with my Solid pod yesterday kevinmarks joined the channel
# 21:24 melvster id be interested to see if anyone has done that already # 21:26 aaronpk no step counts, but full bike rides/runs/walks instead # 21:27 aaronpk I would encourage you to go look at the existing silos to see how they publish that data in timeline form. Jawbone for example shows little posts with the daily step count. # 21:28 csarven So, aaronpk, what's the range (datatype) of that magnificent property "p-distance"? # 21:29 melvster aaronpk: you do nutrition data too? I want to do that ... currently using myfitnesspal # 21:29 aaronpk i'm not super happy with the markup on my current site, but I do like the way it's displayed # 21:29 aaronpk i've been rebuilding my site for some time now, and have a better model for the microformats properties of all the posts. now i'm using h-measure which includes the unit value # 21:31 melvster ill take a look at jawbone ... I assume there's nothing in activity streams that can cover this kind of update? # 21:33 aaronpk I wonder how long before this site gets launched every day # 21:33 aaronpk I'm trying to launch it with feature parity with my current site, and it turns out my current site does an awful lot of stuff # 21:35 aaronpk I mainly use the Jawbone Up for sleep tracking and steps, although it is broken right now, so I'm using the misfit pebble app and manually tracking sleep right now # 21:36 melvster I dont have a wrist device, is really hard to choose, the pebble JS api got me interested, but in the next year I'll have to get something # 21:36 aaronpk I've actually been really happy with the Pebble JS API. That's how I do my food tracking # 21:38 melvster i really want a nutrition app that does more than what is on the market today # 21:39 aaronpk yes, i'm not super impressed with the current nutrition apps. they either take way too much effort to use, or don't let me record things the way I want to. tantek joined the channel
# 22:01 ben_thatmustbeme other than just some space after the post, to distinguish end of it, i think it looks fine # 22:14 melvster you can actually follow links from there tho ... in fact probably get to about 10 million profiles # 22:16 melvster inbox will involve complex event processing and put stuff on the timeline # 22:17 aaronpk i can't wait to launch my new pagination actually. you'll get a kick out of it i'm sure. # 22:17 aaronpk it does inline loading of the next content, like how it works on Instagram # 22:18 aaronpk but uses the browser pushstate so that permalinks to pages still work # 22:18 aaronpk not infinite scroll, because you have to actually click to load the next page # 22:19 melvster im not going to have so much data in a single day that will need pagination # 22:20 melvster yes but using - instead of / as it's easier for my code to work with a single directory # 22:22 melvster aaronpk: so you're putting all your events inside posts? # 22:22 aaronpk they are actually just in the feed along with posts # 22:23 aaronpk events are handled somewhat special since the date they appear on is the date of the event rather than the date i put it on my site # 22:27 melvster i think if you used linked data it could be even more powerful # 22:27 aaronpk thanks! there are a lot of things I like about it, but I'm getting rid of the sidebar in my new design # 22:38 melvster and you can use the skin you like, either as a producer or consumer of data # 22:38 melvster eventually you'll get lots of apps competing to display the data, and people will choose which views they like # 22:39 rhiaro_ retracts that earlier statement now she has cleaned water from her keyboard # 22:40 aaronpk yeah the way we handle that is by having people publish structured data and then others can read it reformatted in their own readers # 22:42 melvster nice, i think activity streams will take a similar approach too # 22:47 melvster aaronpk: that video may inspire you for your new site ^^ # 22:48 aaronpk looks nice. I've been wanting to put some little charts and graphs on my front page, but so far have only been collecting notes on it bblfish joined the channel
