Notes
- why did Tiara want to do this topic?
- she wants to not have to use multiple apps and be able to integrate everything on to one platform
- learn how to set up and how to use an e-reader
- main idea is that the stuff that you care about should be in your control
- dont need to have your own server but should be able to do what you like
- subscribed to someones site posts you should be able to control how you are seeing this
- interchangeable and interoperable
- someone is working on a wordpress plugin
- written into own website and post are stored in own website
- not being limited by the tools that your website provides and not limited with the apps
- want data to live on own site
- aperature is the backend and apps like together indigenous just read data from where you tell them to
- website should be the center and starting point and should have the option to write own software
- in the back you have something like webmention and a microsub server (aperature) - aperature is akin to webmention.io
- could put the software in the code but dont have to
- website links to those softwares
- when someone else writes a blog post and if they want to reply to you they ask where your webmention point is
- talk to different forms to get the information
- you can swap out these software
- reason:plugable building blocks
- get started:go to aperature.p3k.io
- login in and follow all the feeds you want
- make channels
- there is a plugin for wordpress
- micropub server and link to it on webpage
<link url=microsub href="..."> - there are other servers being built Aperature, Drupal indieweb module, Dobrado (full cms), Yarns (WordPress), Ekster (in go),
- two proxies (for Innoreader, and Newsblur and Feedly)
- apps expect list of channels and posts from server and the applet formats it nicely
- app doesnt care if its rss or something else
- translates the data
- Sebastiaan Andeweg worked on in nuremberg with what other people are liking
- alternate data into the server you and getting into the app for reading
- missing piece is being able to comment on something from the reader- this is where micropub comes in, buttons on the post
- once reader shows post and you hit a button it wants to reply back to the original post at micropub endpoint
- your site will then make a webmention
- find webmention endpoint and submit the comment
- having it integrated makes it easier
- how do i tell my microsub to do this?
- login, make channel,add feeds, can add api key (special to aperature)
- examples of channels:
- Aaron has home-automation and runs a server at his house thats not online but make it show up on reader
- show webmention on post,web hook feature
- ownership of data done modularly
- becasue its modular it can be customized
- you can use a different app for the same data, different apps will have different views
- think of some hardware in your house that only shows two lines of text: to let feeds show up there is a lot of work. With Microsub, it's just one call.
- stream.indieweb.org- public view
- when you make a channel there are settings and you can say to include or exlude certain post, or keywords, easy to manage
- need authentication piece <link rel="authorization_endpoint" href="https://indieauth.com"> <a href="https://github.com/" rel="me">
