composite stream

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

A composite stream is a stream that interleaves multiple types of posts, such as notes and articles.

IndieWeb Examples

The following IndieWeb community members have composite streams on their home pages or as otherwise noted, in rough order of implementation (by date, earlier sooner).

• Note: only the post types which have originals at their own site are listed.

Tantek

• notes & articles, since adding articles to notes on 2010-08-19
• later added replies and lots more! (all posts, of any type)
• Atom feed discoverable from the homepage only has original posts, no responses.

David Shanske

David Shanske is a WordPress user. WordPress automatically generates feeds and streams for all date, taxonomies, etc...making it trivial to have feeds for nearly any combination, and every post type. As a result, {{gwg} has aded some custom feeds. For every feed, not only is there an html marked up as h-feed, but Atom, RSS2 and JSONFeed are available. Some of the custom streams include:

• Stream for all posts made on this day or this week of the year, to allow for nostalgia
• Stream for posts by location of post(organized by country, region, and locality.
• A combined stream for food(consisting of eat and drink posts)
• A combined stream for 'reactions' (consisting of bookmark, repost, like, and favorite.
• A combined stream for 'media' (consisting or watch, read, listen, and play).
• In addition to a stream for photo posts, a separate stream that shows not only photos from photo posts, but photos from all post types, such as checkin, etc.

What is lacking is the common two tier system, with a filtered feed and a 'firehose' feed. This is doable in WordPress, but it is less than trivial to move the firehose from the root feed, so have not yet done it.

Previous Examples

  • notes, articles, checkins

• User:Eschnou.com - https://eschnou.com/ - Was until ~2016 maybe? As of 2021-02-17 home page has no stream, is more of an about page.
  • notes, articles, ... ?

• Kyle Mahan on kylewm(.)com until ~2016? (domain appears to be hijacked as of 2021-02-17)
  • notes, articles, photos, reposts, and especially good replies and checkins

• Bret Comnes on http://bret.io until ~2016? (homepage appears to be a link gallery now, not a stream)
  • Full content: notes, articles, (subset of) bookmarks, videos, replies, photos

• http://www.dailydot.com/business/origin-tumblr-anarchaia-projectionist-david-karp/
  • worth further analysis, and documentation thereof, e.g. explicit design choices made in creating a composite stream vs. just a series of blog posts, both in terms of posting UI, and presentation of the composite stream.
