GWG Looking for a new map provider
[tw2113] joined the channel
#
[tw2113] can't comment much on that detail, I've been partial to leafletjs for years for when i've had the choice to make
#
GWG [tw2113]: How about 3?
#
[tw2113] honestly haven't dealt with the topic as a whole in awhile, so I can't say
#
GWG [tw2113]: No, I lost one, found 3 new ones
#
[tw2113] oh
#
GWG With 9 static map APIs, they may knock me down.... but I will map again
#
GWG Hopefully some of them will work for [chrisaldrich] and [dave]

[KevinMarks] Leaflet has a good range of tile providers too

[chrisaldrich] [tw2113] I just came back across https://github.com/tw2113/Goodreads-In-WordPress. Correct me if I'm wrong, the readme seemed too sparse to confirm, but this is just a widget that makes calls to Goodreads to display their data on your site, right? It's not something more complicated like https://lordofthemoon.com/blog/2020/01/exporting-goodreads-reviews-to-a-wordpress-blog/ which imports all the data so you can keep it?

#
[chrisaldrich] wishes there were an OwnYourReads Micropub client...
[tw2113] joined the channel
#
[tw2113] Correct. It just displays, not process and import
#
[tw2113] Does store API results as a transient so not constantly pinging them
#
GWG Sounds fun for a future project
#
[chrisaldrich] It would be cool if that export post could be turned into a plugin...
#
[chrisaldrich] Or perhaps post kinds could parse book sites and import books into a specific book post type database for creating a /personal_library
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: Open an issue on Parse This

#
[chrisaldrich] We should have pulled [tw2113] into the /2020/West/indiereads Camp session!
#
Loqi I agree

#
[chrisaldrich] What are WordPress Themes?
#
Loqi WordPress Themes are a simple way to quickly change the look and feel of a WordPress website primarily by use of CSS https://indieweb.org/WordPress/Themes
#
[chrisaldrich] GWG, was there ever a part 2 to this: https://david.shanske.com/2016/06/22/converting-wordpress-themes-microformats-2-part-1/
#
Loqi [David Shanske] Converting WordPress Themes for Microformats 2 – Part 1
#
[chrisaldrich] And if not, what were you planning on including in it? (if you remember...)
#
GWG I believe more structure stuff... but I should revisit it
#
sknebel via meta: https://twitter.com/_/status/1279524012780072966 <- sounds like they want micropub + indiginous? does someone who uses that combination in practice want to reach out?
#
@jamesvandyne Found out that the #indieweb plugin Bridgy (posts/backfeeds replies/likes from twitter into my site) will attach the featured image of a post to Twitter. Now I want a dedicated “Tweet-through-your-blog WordPress client” app. (twitter.com/_/status/1279524012780072966)
