GWG I wanted to see about updating the facepiles as well and a few other things

GWG I can't either. Only pfefferle, I'd imagine

#
GWG I am wondering what to do with Semantic Linkbacks this year

#
[chrisaldrich] GWG on semantic linkbacks, I think that mentions used to hyperlink to the mentioning page, but now they link to the homepage of the person who made the mention. This is fine for bookmarks, likes, etc. (though I suspect no one would click on these in any case) but they would be more practically useful if they linked to the mention sdirectly instead.
#
GWG There was a back and forth on that.
#
GWG I wanted to think about the whole design a bit
#
GWG Maybe put in some options

#
GWG !tell pfefferle Thinking of doing a refresh of some features in Semantic Linkbacks in the coming weeks, anything high on your desired list? Cached avatars?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

jeremycherfas !tell GWG finally have a local copy of my IP site up and running. Where do I find your modified theme?

jeremycherfas Thanks
snarfed left the channel
#
jeremycherfas All my CSS customisations have, of course, gone, but that is totally acceptable.
#
jeremycherfas Likes are still not showing avatars in Facepiles.
#
jeremycherfas No, I take that back. Needed to refresh.
#
jeremycherfas I like the presentation of Responses (other than likes)
#
jeremycherfas Not sure what else to be looking at, because the site I am looking at is not a very conversational site. Let me try replying to a comment.

#
jeremycherfas Hmn. Not sure where that ended up. Not back at the site that sent the webmention.
#
jeremycherfas !tell GWG Overall your fork looks very good. Probably, most of the improvements are under the hood. I expect I would switch to it in production once you are convinced it is ready for prime time.

#
jeremycherfas Interesting opportunity. I was using OTW Grid Manager Light to add a content row to one specific page. And I thought I didn't want Gutenberg because it seemed like overkill. But now, even with Classic Editor deactivated, I
#
jeremycherfas Oops. I was going to say, with Classic Editor deactivated, I can achieve the same effect and be one plugin lighter, which is probably a good thing.
#
jeremycherfas Gutenberg is really rather good for that sort of thing, I have to admit.

GWG I wasn't trying to make it substantially different than the original IP

#
GWG It was meant to be a simplified, updated Indieweb fork
#
GWG For example, in WordPress 4.1, they introduced the_posts_navigation as a wrapper around navigation code. So I cut all the custom code raamdev had for that and styled the core offering the same way and you can't tell the difference.
#
GWG Something raamdev might have done someday
#
GWG So, lots of that
#
GWG There were three different ways to generate excerpts
#
GWG I call that a plugin
#
GWG The only decision the theme should make is whether to show excerpts or full content on the main page
#
GWG I cut all excerpts but I have an idea in that vein
#
GWG I also someday want to look at excluding Post Kinds from the main loop, but not a theme issue
#
jeremycherfas Not complaining at all. Having a theme that works better and looks the same is ideal.
#
GWG How do you feel about the sidebar being 160px? Most sidebars now are 240
#
GWG I was also fiddling with a top status bar in iw26 that I might duplicate
#
GWG I want to move my weather out of the sidebar, but I coded it as invisible if empty

jeremycherfas I don’t like sidebars and do not have them on my live site.
