#
GWG milkb, have any ideas on https://github.com/dshanske/simple-location/issues/7
#
Loqi [dshanske] #7 Add Support for Location Weather
#
GWG I have decided to make it my next feature
#
[miklb] i’ve played around with the forecast.io API in the past as well as used the wunderground api with python in pythonista on iOS

#
raretrack hi all, is there a way to post from WordPress to micro.blog? Or is that not possible yet?
#
tantek pretty sure micro.blog has step by step instructions for having it auto-post from your feed
#
tantek what is micro.blog
#
Loqi micro.blog is an indie microblogging platform started by Manton Reece, which supports microformats2, Webmention, and Micropub https://indieweb.org/micro.blog

#
[colinwalker] @raretrack you just add an RSS feed to your micro.blog account and it brings the posts in automatically.
#
[miklb] some people have opted to use a category feed to only push certain posts fwiw
#
[colinwalker] You also ping m.b when you post to let it know to check the feed straight away

#
raretrack ah ok, ive already done RSS from Known, will look up my WP RSS feed URL then
#
tantek [colinwalker], [miklb] I just started https://indieweb.org/micro.blog#How_to_POSSE - please feel free to add more details or options (like your "only push certain posts" suggestion)

#
[xavierroy] dshanske see https://joshuadnelson.com/weather-in-wordpress-with-forecast-io/
#
[xavierroy] I played around with an option to display weather data per post by passing geodata in posts as parameters. Another idea I had for past posts is to use the timestamp and get the data from dark sky
#
[xavierroy] https://darksky.net/dev/docs#time-machine-request for older data
#
[xavierroy] I don't have a working code yet though.

#
raretrack it works :)
#
raretrack how you do ping m.b. after a post? is it just a simple refresh?
#
[miklb] maybe under Settings->Writing there is a place to add hubs to ping when you update the site?
#
[miklb] reminds me to add superfeeder to that list
#
raretrack miklb++ there is, thanks
#
Loqi miklb has 17 karma in this channel (69 overall)
#
tantek raretrack if you figured that out (how to ping after a post?) can you add it to https://indieweb.org/micro.blog#How_to
#
raretrack will do tantek
#
tantek thank you!

#
[miklb] nice
[colinwalker] joined the channel
#
[colinwalker] Was just about to do that
#
[miklb] raretrack I must admit I had to look which settings page that was, just knew it existed somewhere 🙂
#
raretrack lol
#
[colinwalker] Just added /ping to the end of the ping address
#
raretrack woops, i missed the ping!
#
[colinwalker] 😆
#

#
[miklb] I wonder if we could use another bot that can look up terms on the WordPress wiki
#
tantek yeah if it's easy enough to just link to pages on the WP wiki - no need to duplicate content
#
tantek but a forwarder would be nice
#
tantek (especially if it's a term / phrase we use in our own documentation)
#
[miklb] adds that to his list

#
GWG Enhancing old posts with historic weather data.. that would be interesting
#
[miklb] it would
#
GWG I think I will worry about the future first
#
[miklb] you’re getting into predicting the future?
#
tantek Predicting, he's helping to build it :)
#
GWG Let me store new data before worrying how to backdate
#
GWG I need to figure out if weather is based on a site level default location, or a user level or both
#
[miklb] funny. My immediate reaction was “site and wait for requests for user” but then I realize I deliberate the same types of questions
#
GWG I may go for a site default overridden by a user default
#
GWG Best of both worlds
#
GWG If you only have one user, same difference
#
[miklb] sounds great to me
#
GWG What troubles me is how I jump from thing to thing sometimes
#
GWG I try to spread myself around
#
[miklb] I do the same, just not all IW projects currently
#
GWG I jump around to non Indieweb stuff too
#
GWG But the storms, as well as other people doing weather made me want it now
