#
[tw2113] any plugins needing any sort of attention? I have some time tonight that i can check on things etc
#
GWG [tw2113]: All of them?
#
[tw2113] works for me
#
[tw2113] git fetching all the ones i have locals of so i have current code 😄
#
GWG I always have dozens of things that I want to do
#
GWG pfefferle and I have been working on a major rewrite of webmentions to deprecate Semantic Linkbacks
#
[tw2113] interesting
#
GWG It's new parsing code we're working on right now... which is a hard piece.
#
GWG The new version adds completely new mf2 code and two different fallbacks
#
GWG It adds a simple custom comment type registration feature.
#
[tw2113] cool
#
GWG The comment type registration would allow for a custom template handler for each type.

#
[arush] Evening all. Just decompressing from the latest round of Gutenberg arguments by playing with Indieweb stuff. Also I'm pretty excited because my biggest client wants to go full indieweb with their site, specifically, using it to be the primary point for all of their social media stuff. So Posse, but for a larger scale org.
#
GWG Hi, [arush]
#
[tw2113] that should be an awesomely fun project [arush]
#
[tw2113] GWG finally managed to get my git copy of indieweb-post-kinds matching…realized you renamed master to trunk 😄
#
[arush] @tw2013 yeah it kind of dovetails with getting post kinds working with Gutenberg since they unfortunately really love GB, but I think we'll figure it out. I still can't wrap my head around starting a post and then choosing a post kind block, but it looks like that's pretty much how you have to do it. And of course Indieweb gets the fruits of the labor. I'm just glad a client asked for it.
#
[tw2113] i spent my own time in gutenberg dev today, but that was mostly around getting a dropdown to store post IDs that then save for me to use elsewhere

#
GWG I still stubbornly avoid Gutenberg
#
[tw2113] i don’t blame ya
#
[tw2113] outside of the repo owner and the repo name, I am failing to see how this on-hover popup adds anything of value https://cloudup.com/cgMPqUPnn6L
#
[tw2113] will have to click the link to see it full sized

#
[tw2113] otherwise, we already have the issue open date, the issue title, and the issue number without hover
#
[arush] @gwg I completely understand stubbornly avoiding Gutenberg. I personally hate it and I hate using it. It's an efficiency vampire if nothing else.
#
[tw2113] the sort of odd part is that I want to love it and adore it, but i’m not there thus far
#
GWG For me, I would rather iterate on Micropub and get some good clients
#
[tw2113] if anything, an extension plugin that i bought named Iceberg has me enjoying it slightly more, because i can write up posts in markdown 😄
#
[arush] Yeah @tw2013 I'd love to be able to adore it too. And it would be so much easier to adore it if they had just done this as a true native application instead of trying to be Microsoft Word except in a browser.
#
[tw2113] GWG are you fine with a PR to turn the markup for the “Parse This Debugger” to match other WordPress settings pages?
#
GWG [tw2113]: Yes....you know it has its own repo, right?
#
GWG Also, I was thinking of moving it to Tools from IndieWeb
#
[arush] Yeah @gwg I'd rather see micropub take over everything with good clients too.
#
[tw2113] Tools menu makes sense
#
[tw2113] i’m assuming https://github.com/dshanske/parse-this
#
GWG [tw2113]: Yes.
#
GWG It's a dependency of two projects
#
[arush] Yeah I think PT should be in tools. I thought it already was?
#
GWG [arush]: It's in the Indieweb menu
#
GWG The new Webmentions debugger is in Tools. pfefferle suggested it.
#
[tw2113] i think there was an older feature from years ago named Parse This that was part of core
#
GWG [tw2113]: That was Press This.
#
GWG Thus the name of my library
#
[tw2113] ahhh
#
GWG I started with the parsing code from Core that was removed.
#
GWG I chucked a lot of it
#
GWG But some of the sanity checks I still use
#
GWG Parse This is my obsessive attempt to bridge everything to jf2
#
[tw2113] ahhh https://cloudup.com/cWlJIeScS0H
#
GWG [tw2113]: It is mostly used for debugging why a website produces no response in Post Kinds or Yarns
#
[tw2113] makes sense

#
GWG Twitter broke it, for example
#
GWG They no longer include the text of the tweet in the HTML
#
GWG So, if I want to bring that back, I'd have to require an API key
#
[tw2113] silly silo
#
GWG Well, I like the idea that you don't need API keys to use Parse This.
#
GWG So, I debated how I would handle an extension that supported API keys
#
[tw2113] i’ll be right back, need to switch computers off of my work computer
