# 
[grantcodes] I've done a couple of experiments and I'm pretty sure getting mf2 in gutenberg is very possible and should work well.
# [grantcodes] I'll probably try and get this theme working fully with gutenberg first and then see what's possible with post kinds
# [grantcodes] Left a decent sized comment on an existing issue.
# [grantcodes] Basic thought is that making blocks to handle visual mf2 content should be relatively easy. Integrating it with everything that already exists may be a pain.

# 
[pfefferle] [grantcodes] there is also be a problem with blocks: blocks are inside the h-entry class, so it might not be that easy.
# [grantcodes] What's wrong with blocks being inside h-entry? Only issue I see with it is the content property.
# [grantcodes] Ah yeah top level changes are more difficult. You'd probably make a block that is specifically for events then you can parse the content and if that block is present in the content change the h-entry to h-event

# [grantcodes] Oh yeah, never meant to trivialize it 😬 there would be a lot of work required somewhere no matter how it's handled. But I'm optimistic.
# [pfefferle] its also for reply context isn’t it?
# [grantcodes] That part I think is one of the easier issues 😃. Things like `like-of` & `bookmark-of` etc which are more or less the same are great in gutenberg, you can easily setup a base block and make variations for each one without loads of extra code and make it easy to switch between each one.
# [pfefferle] [grantcodes] I would love to see an link-type, XFN ready extension to the link popup. are you familiar with react/gutenberg? https://twitter.com/pfefferle/status/1255226253436768257

@pfefferle ich würde gerne folgendes für das link-overlay in #wordpress / #gutenberg bauen... ist das mittlerweile etwas einfacher oder muss man immer noch das ganze overlay ersetzen? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWt1GWnWsAAAq4f.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1255226253436768257)
# [grantcodes] Yeah I do react & gutenberg regularly for work now 🙂 I've not looked into how to modify that specific link menu or XFN. That
# [grantcodes] *That's probably not how I'd handle the microformats properties though.

[tw2113_Slack_] not sure how related this would be, but i have https://github.com/tw2113/indieweb-blocks with what I hope has working webmention and indieweb.xyz blocks that handle pinging things
# [tw2113_Slack_] mostly since i could never remember the markup to wrap things in, so i decided i just wanted url fields to drop links into, and let the code handle the rest
# [grantcodes] Hmm I think your webmention block is what I would call a reply block. It doesn't actually send webmentions does it? The webmention plugin probably does the actual sending?
# [tw2113_Slack_] it embeds the markup into the post that is supposed to trigger

# [arush] I've spent my weekend completely rebuilding my personal site from the ground up, indieweb first. WPEngine was causing too many problems, plus database had 20 years worth of learnings/experimentation in it so it was pretty badly hosed. Good news is I can parce logs now, bad news is I have a metric ton of gardening to do. 🙂
# [arush] Can't read logs on WPEngine because their log display crashes my screen reader, and they're still not fixing it.
# [arush] Gonna get Compass and other Indieweb apps installed probably tomorrow.
# [arush] Just installed the Tempus Fugit plugin though and am enjoying playing with some of these features I had previously missed while they were in Post Kinds.
# [arush] Yes. Has anyone else encountered a problem while using Quill where, when posting a note, last posted photo gets appended and post kind gets switched to photo?/ I was hoping I could blame this on WPE casching, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
# [arush] And, I have a feature request for post kinds. Can we have the ability to bulk edit kind? When I imported content, everything got imported as article.
# [arush] Looks like we still can't add location to posts when posting from dashboard after looking up location, will get you the specifics from logs once this last bit of migration finishes.
# [arush] wow. I did not realize I had this much media without alternative text associated. I think this may have been from a Facebook photo grab experiment a few years ago.
# [arush] to be fair, most things, apps, services, don’t make it very easy for you to add alternative text. WordPress does an OK job with this, but really doesn’t give you any pointers when you’re adding it so you really don’t know what to write if you’re not used to writing it.v

GWG I have /onthisday, /thisweek, and ordinal dates, such as /2021/045... But...
# [arush] I think you have all the time stuff covered.
# [arush] yes, random and updated are kind of fun. I haven’t played with those yet.p
# [arush] oldest could be cool, as well as newest, and being able to navigate by next year or previous year, next month previous month, next day previous day.
[tantek] joined the channel
# [arush] maybe not next or previous day, since that would actually create several new problems, but next month previous month next year previous year would probably be good.

# [arush] derp on my part re newest. too much site migration fries the brain. LOL.
