jesse1010 hi
#
jesse1010 can anyone tell me if lightspeed is faster than nginx?
#
GWG [xavierroy]: How many taxonomies are you comfortable with?
#
[xavierroy] I have atleast 7 right now
#
[xavierroy] I have an audience taxonomy that maps to the p-audience property. but it's not exposed in the post meta, but it exists
#
GWG [xavierroy]: I am just thinking of locality, region, and country

Bogie1 Hey. I'm new to the indyweb and wordpress. Just set up my site over the weekend. Anyone around that may be able to answer a question about using Brid.gy and Wordpress to retweet something with comment?

GWG Sorry, was away. Can I help?
#
GWG [Rose]: Re your location archive idea, did you think when you suggested it how it might work?
#
[Rose] I suggested a location archive?
#
GWG Yes
#
GWG https://github.com/dshanske/simple-location/issues/140
#
Loqi [dshanske] #140 Archive for Location/Region/Zone
#
GWG At IWC Berlin2
#
GWG I made a note
#
[Rose] Ohhh! Yes!
#
[Rose] I remember now. My idea would be everything either in a very specific location (e.g. wonderful muffins coffee shop), or a more general version (e.g. everything in Berlin).
[LewisCowles] joined the channel
#
GWG The specific location is venue support
#
GWG That was already on my list
#
GWG The everything in Berlin is harder only because of how reverse geolocation tags things
#
GWG You might occasionally have to do some manual maintenance
#
GWG Also, Berlin Germany or Berlin Pennsylvania?
#
[Rose] I would presume I would select a place based on co-ordinates and specify a radius.
#
[Rose] So there would need to be some kind of string to co-ordinates lookup, but once that's set...
#
GWG The radius is a hard search
#
GWG But am going to possibly try a locality taxonomy that can do a radius search on posting

#
[jeffpaul] GWG: I may be mis-reading your work on this, but it’s possible the code that finds closest locales in WP Admin’s dashboard for the WordPress Events and News widget may be useful to repurpose for what you’re building?
#
GWG [jeffpaul]: I will look, but my Simple Location plugin uses reverse geolocation... but tying that to a proper name...
#
GWG For example, I am from New York City
#
GWG I live in Queens....am I tying all New York City posts together, or just Queens?
#
GWG So, mapping this is immensely personal
#
GWG So automating it is hard
#
GWG [jeffpaul]: This is a job for a taxonomy, but it will require maintenance

GWG chrisaldrich: You have any thoughts?
theantidaniel joined the channel
#
[jeffpaul] Maybe an open data set somewhere could help take geolocation and provide a locale?
#
GWG [jeffpaul]: Quite possibly. I may try pushing it as a dev feature and getting some testers to help refine it
#
GWG [jeffpaul]: I have been thinking about it since I am working abroad for a bit.
#
GWG I always do location stuff when I travel
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
[Michael_Beckwit start noticing all the bugs/ux enhancements that can be done because you’re using that functionality more?
#
GWG [Michael_Beckwit: Pretty much
#
GWG How about this? I register 'locality' taxonomy. The taxonomy has coordinates and a radius tied to it, similar to the zone code I already have.
[Jeannie] joined the channel
#
GWG When a new post is made, it tries to match the new coordinates to being within one of those zones.
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
GWG And if it is within it...it sets it
#
chrisaldrich GWG, it doesn't necessarily seem like a simple thing to pull off. Is there prior art for Dodgeball, FourSquare, or others having done it before?
#
chrisaldrich What is geofencing?
#
Loqi A geofence is a virtual geographic boundary that either triggers or limits actions, information, or granularity thereof when crossing it, like Aaron Parecki’s pulsing blue dot feature https://indieweb.org/geofencing
[mapkyca] joined the channel
#
chrisaldrich Google maps does have lists of locations that they'll show on maps. They have defaults like "favorites", "starred places", "want to go", and the ability to add custom location bookmarks.
#
GWG I have geofences
#
GWG I will have to experiment
#
GWG I should update that
#
Loqi totally
