tantek shaners which feed reader were you using, and do they have a support / request forum where one can request features (like ActivityStrea.ms support) ?
#
shaners reader.app
#
shaners tantek: ^^^
#
tantek URL?
#
shaners tantek: reeder.app
#
shaners url… one sec

#
tantek so the basic challenge is Twitter and ActivityStreams object-type "note" and the Twitter RSS/Atom convention put putting full content of notes into the title of an entry
#
shaners right
#
shaners even putting something generic would be more useful for me
#
shaners like "Note from Tantek (@T)"
#
tantek the problem is one of convention
#
shaners or "Tantek (@t) said..."
#
tantek some feed readers are using title==content as a test to only display the content
#
tantek based on Twitter's convention
#
tantek so it makes sense from an indieweb perspective to simply mimic Twitter's convention for feeds
#
tantek and here we are
#
tantek the key is
#
tantek Feed Readers *should* support ActivityStreams, even just a little bit (like checking the object-type)
#
tantek and then if it's an object-type of "note" then they shouldn't display the title
#
tantek that's the request that needs to be filed with the Reeder app guys. 1. Support parsing ActivityStreams from your Atom feed parser. 2. if the item is of object-type of "note", then don't display the title.
#
shaners agreed
#
shaners tantek: did i ever show you might idea for an activity stream aggregator?
#
tantek you mean like an open source FriendFeed?
#
shaners yeah. / generic
#
shaners to deal with *actual* activity streams
#
shaners Activity Streams, not activity feeds

#
shaners tantek: i've got absolutely zero cycles to work on it though. plus i'd rather focus on building something for producing, not consuming.
#
shaners at least, production first. consumption second.
