GWG Does anyone want a feature for WordPress where /onthisday/12/03 would show you every post made on that day for the life of the site?
#
[asuh] I was actually contemplating something like that several weeks ago. I’m guessing you’d just add an archive feature to the actual day instead of just year and month? Or maybe that currently exists?
#
GWG No. I wrote it last night
#
[eddie] [asuh] I think the 12 is the month and 03 is the day. So that url would show all the posts from Dec 3 across all the past years from your blog
#
[asuh] [eddie] right, that’s what I assumed
#
[eddie] Oh gotcha. I misread 🙂
#
[asuh] np 🙂
#
[asuh] This format reminds me of what adactio.com does and it’s appealing
#
GWG So, people would like it?
#
[asuh] you have my vote

#
[jgmac1106] yes I love that feature
#
GWG I'm tweaking a bunch of little things. I just updated a bunch of things on my website.

GWG Deep into minor bug fixes and gap filling this week. Should be able to release some stuff to my website soon. It's hard when the features you want require updating multiple plugins and repositories

#
[jgmac1106] so this is new and I want to understand it. I like it but any mention on Twitter of [jgmac1106] is now considered a generic webmention
#
[jgmac1106] not sure if that seems correct. Is any mention of me online a mention of my url?
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] That's bridgy. Bridgy converts twitter @mentions to webmention @mentions
#
[eddie] So I would not say that "any mention of you online is a mention of your url" but I think some people want to extend their presence beyond their website. In those cases it makes sense that bridgy does that conversion

#
[jgmac1106] weird it just started. If everyone of my Twitter mentions showed on my site I would have thousands
#
[jgmac1106] that would be bad
#
[eddie] hmmm that is strange
#
[eddie] mine has done it for awhile
#
[jgmac1106] yeah 10 a day (which is way low but easy math) would mean 3,650.25 mentions
#
sknebel it's not 100%, since bridgy afaik can't ask twitter for "all mentions of user X", so it has to use the search api and hope thats complete
#
[jgmac1106] ahh okay thx
