GWG [Khurt]: Can you add rel-feed to your main URL?

#
[Khurt] @GWG how do I do that?
#
GWG How custom is your theme?
#
GWG Maybe I should add it as a feature to the Indieweb plugin. It's about 4 lines of code
#
GWG Or the feed plugin
#
GWG But anyone who doesn't have their main feed on their homepage/h-card should be saying where the feed is.

jgmac1106 …[gwg]…or they expect people to infer the “post” button in their nav menu is the feed
#
GWG This is for feed discovery

jgmac1106 ahh makes sense

#
GWG jackjamieson: I did another iteration for you
#
GWG jgmac1106: You don't need a plugin to add rel-feed to a menu item in WordPress
#
jackjamieson GWG: Thanks - I'll try it out today
#
GWG This would apply to islandinthenet as well. But if you put feed into the Link Relationship box in the WordPress Menu customizer, that does it
#
GWG jackjamieson: Would you be setting the follow option to true in the parse function?
#
jackjamieson GWG: I think so, seems like that would be useful. If it slows down the response I might leave it disabled when previewing feeds (since the use is actually waiting for the response) but add it when actually aggregating. Will need to think on that a bit
#
GWG That's why I didn't enable it by default
#
jackjamieson Just tried setting follow to true, and got a php notice trying to parse your website
#
jackjamieson Undefined index: scheme ... class-parse-this-mf2.php on line 406
#
GWG That's interesting
#
GWG I'm on lunch, but was looking at why chrisaldrich said the Washington Post wasn't working
#
GWG It times out occasionally, but it works.
#
GWG I'm not sure why. It notes if ! empty. I think I need a function that is isset & ! empty, which seems redundant
#
GWG I think I need to fix my markup regardless.
#
GWG But I'm not getting the error
#
jackjamieson I'll test a bit further, maybe I made a mistake
#
GWG But I'm moving my feed off my main page
#
GWG I made a bunch of changes to accommodate it.
#
GWG That's why the next Post Kinds will have a Kind Menu widget
#
jackjamieson Oh, my mistake on that error - I was looking at the parse-this commit on Github, but forgot to actually update it on my server :/
#
GWG I know I fixed that one.
#
jackjamieson Yep, it's working now. I just got mixed up doing multiple things at once
#
GWG Been there
#
GWG Do you use my theme as well?
#
jackjamieson Yep
#
GWG I did a bunch of fixes this week
#
GWG Been jumping from theme to plugin to get integrations
#
GWG The new h-card widget in the Indieweb plugin allows the rel me inside the h-card or separately now
#
GWG Lots of convergence
#
jackjamieson Nice, I'm checking that out now - looks handy
#
jackjamieson Actually I've been neglecting my actual website lately because I've just been working on Yarns instead

#
jackjamieson GWG: I just tested parsing your site with follow = true vs. false. Took 9 seconds when true, 2 seconds when false. So I will leave it false for previews
#
jackjamieson It might be possible to speed up, since I think it's fetching and parsing an author h-card for every post. In the case of a single-author site, this is redundant

#
GWG jackjamieson, I intend to optimize more over time
#
GWG Right now I know it fetches a lot more than needed
#
jackjamieson GWG: Sounds good, I'll keep timing some operations as we iterate
#
GWG I thought getting it working well was first before optimization
#
jackjamieson Yes! I strongly agree
#
GWG And next is comment presentation output for Semantic Linkbacks
#
GWG I might need to change the argument from feed true to fetch single, feed, comment...
#
jackjamieson That makes sense to me
#
jackjamieson I'm completely delighted how easily parse-this works with Yarns, while still being so general purpose
