mojisun hey all-- helping some friend re-create their existing wordpress website. idk Web stuff too much (more of a back-end person) but I just setup a staging wordpress site on digital ocean and suggest they build new changes there and then export to the live site when ready. Does this sound like an okay flow/process? Or is there a better way? The live site is being used for a bunch of stuff so I didn't
# mojisun want to mess with that.
# mojisun Also, I set the staging site up just as a bare-bones install of WP and didn't copy across the current live site, suggested instead building up from scratch and then copying across (as the live site is rly messy with loads of stuff that's gotta go). Does that also sound ok?
# mojisun Does the flow sound okay to you GWG ?
# mojisun Just wanted to check this wasn't totally the wrong direction re staging.
# mojisun yeah, cool.
# mojisun it's more like a site re-skinning and custom theme changes.
# mojisun yay
# mojisun ^ _^
# mojisun thx for the reassurance!

[dougbeal] @GWG: is it possible to loose syndication links if bridgy and I are both updating them?

# [dougbeal] What if I had posted, and was still on the edit view… so it wasn’t updated with the latest syndication?
# [dougbeal] I changed my workflow so I do instagram first, and add the link, then publish
# webfx777 Anyone familiar with loading pages through ajax, so the header doesn't have to reload when you click a new page?

# webfx777 anyone alive in here?
# cambridgeport90[ ave been here, though I listen more than talk.

[grantcodes] Sooo, I had a very, very, very early go at mf2 in gutenberg. And it seems 100% doable.
# [grantcodes] It would need a lot of thinking and almost certainly won't work with the existing plugins, but it probably could

# [grantcodes] But gutenberg is actually kind of perfect because you can pull the block values out of the html attributes or content (hello microformats)
# [grantcodes] Then the other thing you would probably do is you can easily make something like an in-reply-to url a single block. And then you can make a "reply post" template which is an in-reply-to block + a content block
# [grantcodes] And the core blocks can be modified to add mf2 classes. So no need to rebuild some of the complex uis

# [grantcodes] Ultimate basic mvp
# [grantcodes] Eh, it's not worth committing yet. Maybe I can paste some to a gist
[Sonny] joined the channel
# [grantcodes] There's 2 things in that gist. An in-reply-to block and reply template
# [grantcodes] Also a bunch of boilerplate I've not removed
# [grantcodes] Yeah. There's also a lot of stuff that is technically possible with mf2 but that you probably shouldn't do, that might be hard to lock down in gutenberg - like a repost generally just has the repost-of property and nothing else. So if that block is used it would be nice to prevent adding more and I'm not sure you can do that.
# [grantcodes] Then there are photos, which might sometimes be part of an article or it may be a photo post.
# [grantcodes] You can disable stuff and make it pretty much as simple as you want, but you wouldn't want to disable everything just to get indieweb functionality
# [grantcodes] Well I think the WordPress way would end up having a way for authoring a like - even if it isn't very useful.
# [grantcodes] I suppose you can make blocks that you can't modify but that doesn't seem right
