Notes

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/401 -- "This status code is similar to the 403 Forbidden status code, except that in situations resulting in this status code, user authentication can allow access to the resource."
  • This came up in discussing whether an IndieAuth client_id URL response should still be processed when the response is a 4xx. (401 vs 403 in particular)
• Discussion of one server implementing several IndieWeb building blocks together reminded Marty McGuire of http://www.flong.com/archive/projects/free-universal-construction-kit/index.html
• trust.txt is https://journallist.net/reference-document-for-trust-txt-specifications
• example site: coloradopressassociation.com (in toolbox, under trust discovery, just provide the domain name for the query)
• IndieWeb-utils: representative h-card - https://github.com/capjamesg/indieweb-utils/blob/6d52d30d164515886099019858d56b85e301a6c1/src/indieweb_utils/posts/representative_h_card.py

display people icons

Should you always display the full resolution icons of people of posts you reply to? e.g. in the reply-context?

People should be able to consent to their photos and other content being shared on other sites. If my site receives a webmention from your site, I should conservatively not re-host your content (e.g. your photo) unless you have given me explicit permission. ...but, how is best to give permission? Should consent be given in the process of sending a webmention, or should the content be marked up with licenses?

See: https://sebastiangreger.net/2018/05/indieweb-privacy-challenge-webmentions-backfeeds-gdpr/

• Specifically the section: The initial solution: anonymizing “not intentionally submitted” feedback
• 
• backfeed is one of the primary use-cases of this, where people replying/liking/reposting have no idea that they will show up on another website

things built

Tantek

Tantek Çelik:

• /fta link — use-case: txting a link to someone so they can call me via FaceTime Audio (using my own domain as my identity, not a phone number)
• tools to debug my home page but not *at* my home page in production, e.g. an /index-new (not a real path) instead of having to live deploy/test at my main home page at /.
• fixed my home page photo grid! and added a bunch more testing, staging, and debugging capabilities for my home page and composite stream
• updated home page events listing!
