[miklb] looks like I need to fix my like kind template to work with bridgy
#
[miklb] needs a `u-like-of` on the GitHub url
tantek joined the channel
#
[miklb] now I’m thinking I’m going to check if the url is GitHub and do a different template…
#
[miklb] GWG in your parse for properties, if there is no mf2 how do you determine the summary/quote?
#
GWG meta description
[tantek] joined the channel
#
tantek what is meta description
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "meta description" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "meta description is ____", a sentence describing the term)

chrisaldrich What is The Open Graph protocol?
#
Loqi The Open Graph protocol (OGP) is an open* standard developed and controlled by Facebook for expressing the primary subject of an HTML page in custom <meta> tags for the purpose of Facebook showing link previews; in practice only a couple are even sometimes necessary for that use-case, and you can use existing open standards instead https://indieweb.org/The-Open-Graph-protocol
#
GWG I use that too

#
GWG chrisaldrich, if I make it so my voice assistant will tell me when you send me a webmention, will you help me demo it?
#
tantek that would be either amazing or annoying
#
GWG tantek, I will see when I do it
#
GWG I drove my parents crazy last time they visited by programming all the Google Homes in the house to announce when the washing machine was done
#
tantek LOL
#
tantek amazing
#
GWG And custom messages tied to them turning on light switches
#
tantek how about saying "Good evening David!" when you arrive home in the evenings?
#
GWG I have all the components set up for that
#
GWG Maybe I should write about this
#
tantek yes!

#
GWG I will see about it tonight. Tomorrow I have to go to Boston for the day,
#
chrisaldrich GWG: I'll definitely help you demo it....
#
chrisaldrich I keep thinking I ought to hack more on my Amazon devices and use them for something besides music.
#
GWG chrisaldrich, like?

#
[miklb] GWG reason I asked is when parsing a GitHub repo it uses the meta description which is a general GitHub description. the og:description is the repo summary
#
GWG It should use og over meta.
#
GWG I'll have to check the order
#
GWG I believe it is microformats 2, ogp, then generic meta tags
#
[miklb] cool. I had never really looked at that part of the magic so figured I’d ask before digging in.
#
GWG miklb, I really want to clean it up a bit, because there is a filter to add extra parsing. I want to make it able to be preempted by custom code for any arbitrary site. Sort of the way xray does for some
#
[miklb] neat
#
GWG I am not sure what site might cause me to use an API over HTML, but I figured I should be prepared
#
[miklb] I opened an issue as a reminder. Not a big deal, and GitHub should probably fix that on their end.
#
[miklb] I’m just not sure where to file that bug report yet
#
GWG If you look at xray, aaronpk made it specifically recognize several known services.
