[snarfed] hey GWG have you ever looked at https://eay.cc/ ? wordpress site that handles reply webmentions successfully but 500s on like webmentions. really odd
# [snarfed] example failures: https://brid.gy/twitter/eay?responses_before=2022-05-09T02:10:42.253827+00:00 , example successes: https://brid.gy/twitter/eay?responses_before=2022-04-26T22:16:07.875213+00:00
# [Chris_Lott] Is there a best practice for WordPress permalink settings for IndieWeb (and IndieWeb plugins)? I’m running into some issue I can’t figure out where WP is creating wrong permalinks for items without titles. It might be related to using categories in the permalink combined with posts that have multiple categories.
# [Chris_Lott] For example, this post: https://fncll.org/blog/geekery/558/ is generating a permalink that can’t be found based, it appears, on the 2nd/child category: https://fncll.org/blog/geekery/pkm-productivity/558/
# [Chris_Lott] I didn’t have this problem before I installed various IndieWeb plugins, but I’m unsure at what point it became a problem! Figured I would ask before I go through the tedium of disabling plugins, testing, re-enabling, etc.

Loqi [Chris Lott] @MacSparky In MPU 633 (https://www.relay.fm/mpu/633) you seemed to have some Notion alternatives in mind, cautioning your guest to look around before committing, but didn’t give any specifics. Any suggestions of apps we should look at when evaluati...

chrisaldrich Chris_Lott is there any chance that you changed your permalink structure in `Settings » Permalinks` menu?
# chrisaldrich typically posts without titles are assigned the next post-id number
# chrisaldrich are you using the optional category or tag bases on that page?

# chrisaldrich Another thought Chris_Lott: it's probably sanitized/stripped, but I notice your category there is (P)KM with the parenthesis, maybe the parenthesis are causing an issue?
# chrisaldrich Chris_Lott, with respect to our conversation about reply contexts, your post https://fncll.org/blog/geekery/pkm-productivity/zettelkasten-note-taking-what-i-wish-i-knew-about-smart-notes/ is a good example. Visiting that page, my reading of it is that you've made that video and you're building the note taking app rather than commenting on or making a note about it. I was excited to try it out for a minute until I realized...
# Loqi [Chris Lott] I’m building a note-taking app to help you study, learn, think, write and publish-with maximum efficiency and consistency. Check it out at:

# chrisaldrich Apparently Loqi things so too... :)
# [Chris_Lott] That kind of post should be much better going forward…it was clear in my site’s previous, non-IndieWeb life--- that this post was (an autofed from a playlist) YouTube video. Not so clear now!
# chrisaldrich I know that feeling. I think I have a lot of old posts that just look wonky now.
# chrisaldrich It does make me wonder though if anyone has custom built a WordPress site to be set up as a zettelkasten with bidirectional links.
# [Chris_Lott] [chrisaldrich] I do have the permalinks customized to use category and postname…I’ve used something along those lines forever, which is why it’s strange that it’s a problem now. I’d prefer to keep sensible/non-numeric-URLs, but I’ll have to see if I can 🙂
# chrisaldrich Oh... this looks interesting: https://wordpress.org/plugins/slippy/
# chrisaldrich On first blush, it looks like that plugin+webmentions might be a cool way to go.
# chrisaldrich sometimes I'll add custom slug names to notes (since they have empty titles). I think that Quill will allow you to set a slug name if you like.
# chrisaldrich What is quill?
# Loqi Quill is a simple app for posting text notes to your website using Micropub https://indieweb.org/Quill
# chrisaldrich zettelkasten << Slippy, a [[WordPress]] plugin for creating a digital zettelkasten https://wordpress.org/plugins/slippy/
# Loqi ok, I added "Slippy, a [[WordPress]] plugin for creating a digital zettelkasten https://wordpress.org/plugins/slippy/" to the "See Also" section of /Zettelk%C3%A4sten https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=81375&oldid=81076

@film_girl This from @jdevalk is really great. I have some preliminary thoughts 🧵https://joost.blog/wordpress-market-share-shrinking/ (twitter.com/_/status/1524512217416093697)
# [tw2113_Slack_] so it’s gone down, maybe half a percent
# 
[KevinMarks] Christina's thread is interesting
# [tw2113_Slack_] “Email is the new blogging and has been for years.” hrm
# [tw2113_Slack_] i wonder how well that backs up for the content creators
# [tw2113_Slack_] “Also, all of this should have been a blog or a newsletter.” lulz. I agree regarding threads over 3 tweets long
