GWG I feel sometimes like we're reinventing the Post Formats UI of WordPress 3.6
[miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb] how so?
#
[miklb] I’d also say that post Formats is widely considered an unfinished feature, so maybe just picking up the gauntlet
#
GWG [miklb]: Did you ever read the discussions from back then?
#
GWG There were a lot of ideas I've made note of
#
[miklb] discussions where?
#
GWG Trac tickets, mostly.
#
GWG The way they tried to implement it.
#
GWG Parsing post content.
#
[miklb] Can’t say I’ve read through them, just a general sense I’ve gotten from broader community comments.
#
GWG I read through all of them.
#
GWG This is similar to how Gutenberg has decided to store everything in Post Content
#
[miklb] I still haven’t looked at Gutenberg much, but what I’ve seen, I’m pretty sure I’m going to do my best to disable it when it hits core.
#
[miklb] I don’t use the rich editor now.
#

jeremycherfas I’ve only recently made one of my satellite sites, on WP, IndieWeb but I haven’t quite got my head around how best to use it, for example, to Tweet or respond to Tweets on my own site. Can anyone recommend a walk-through of a workflow.

#
[davidmead] I do it “longhand” jeremycherfas ? to say there’s some cut & paste action through the WP web interface on desktop. Mobile = pain ?
#
[davidmead] I use @GWG’s bridgy publish
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] Not bothered too much about mobile. I’ll look at bridgy publish. Thanks./
#
[davidmead] I don’t personally use Post Kinds, but I know people find that useful too

#
[miklb] I’m not really up on having multiple indieweb sites, so not sure what I can offer.
#
[jeremycherfas] Forget about the multiple. Let’s just pretend it is a single WP site.
#
[miklb] nods
#
[miklb] in that case, yes, I use bridgy and post-kinds to handle the main parts
#
[jeremycherfas] Thanks. Need to look more closely.
#
[miklb] the other key is good mf2 support in a theme. Post-kinds has templates for different types that you can customize, but has really good mf2 for replies, quotes, etc
#
[jeremycherfas] Cool. I’m using independent publisher, so that should be good.
#
[miklb] yes.

[chrisaldrich] jeremycherfas for mobile posting (you're on android right?), this may be of help: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2016/sharing-from-the-indieweb-on-mobile-android-with-apps-and

#
[chrisaldrich] jeremycherfas There's also this for equivalent desktop with a few different methods. You'll have to play around to see what works best for you vis-a-vis using Post Kinds plugin or not as well as Bridgy Publish.
#
[chrisaldrich] oops, here's the second link: https://indieweb.org/WordPress#Bookmarklets_for_Desktop
#
[chrisaldrich] This last link will also give you a reasonable recipe for creating URLs for use with URL forwarder on your cell phone if necessary.
#
[chrisaldrich] jemostrom If it helps to have examples you could check out /multi-site_indieweb; There's also a note at /Getting_Started_on_WordPress#Self-hosted_WordPress about where to put rel-me for your second site so that /backfeed works
#
[chrisaldrich] jemostrom I use a sidebar widget on my homepage for my h-card, if you want to view the source on the page, you could probably cut and paste your own details into it so you don't have to manually write out all the html and microformats. Then leave out the pieces you don't want.
#
[chrisaldrich] what is an h-card?
#
Loqi h-card is the microformats2 vocabulary for marking up people, organizations, and venues on web sites https://indieweb.org/h-card
#
[chrisaldrich] hmmm... no indieweb examples on that page?!
