I'm looking into implementing webmention
#
tantek
and it looks reasonably straightforward
#
tantek
but there's a question of which links to send webmentions to
#
tantek
is it only for a link that you're commenting on, or should you send a webmention to all links in a post?

totally forgot about the DDoS scenario that I brought up about Refbacks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refback#Security_issues
#
tantek
ah, this is not a problem with webmention because it requires two HTTP actions (a GET to discover the webmention endpoint, and then a POST to the webmention endpoint), and using 2 HTTP actions to then cause just a single HTTP action on an unrelated target is inefficient and therefore not worth doing.
#
tantek
ok, I'm reasonably convinced upon reviewing the way webmention works - seems like a reasonable improvement upon pingback (not requiring XMLRPC send/receive).
#
tantek
so on the receiving end (of webmentions), I'm thinking I want to be able to distinguish in my posts display between full fledged comment posts, where the intent is to have the entire comment be copied/displayed underneath my posts, and mere FYI mentions/citations, which either may not get displayed at all, or if shown may just be a list of "referencing articles"
#
tantek
I'm thinking that this information/distinction should be captured somewhere in the content of the replying post.
#
tantek
(rather than complicating/adding-to the webmention/pingback protocol at all)
#
tantek
so perhaps this is something that we can use "in-reply-to" to distinguish
#
tantek
if the link from reply to original is an "in-reply-to" link (per rel~=in-reply-to or class~=u-in-reply-to), then consider the reply to be a comment on the original and copy it across to the comments section in the footer of the original post
#
tantek
where "copy it" means parse the h-entry at the reply, and copy the p-summary if present, or e-content otherwise, using the p-author (with h-card) to display the author information for the comment, and the dt-published to display the datetime published information for the comment.
#
tantek
additionally, the dt-updated from the reply h-entry could be used for an "edited: datetime" annotation as well on the comment copy.
#
tantek
has anyone here actually implemented displaying webmentioned comments on their original posts? aaronpk, barnabywalters, tommorris?
eschnou and tilgovi joined the channel
#
tantek
hey eschnou - you implement webmention right?
#
eschnou
tantek, unfortunately no, only pingbacks so far
#
eschnou
it is on my today list though :-)
#
tantek
eschnou - webmention seems easier - I was going to attempt that first :)
#
tantek
(sending that is, receiving is next after that)
#
eschnou
tantek, indeed, webmention looks much easier. Good thing is I did not have to implement the whole xml-rpc thing, just reused some php pingback lib.
#
tantek
oh interesting
#
tantek
for sending or receiving xml-rpc?

#
tantek
I started thinking about how little code it would take to do "in-reply-to" chaining on my POSSEd notes to Twitter, and then got to thinking, but wait, I should at least support the *open* protocol at the same time to directly send webmentions, which then got me thinking about the entire protocol flow and display of peer-to-peer comments and then several wiki pages and K of text later...
#
tommorris
I've been a bit slack as my life has been two things this week: work and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Malet_Armstrong ;)
#
tantek
man the interactions between POSSE and commenting are interesting
#
tantek
I *think* I figured it out
#
tantek.com
edited /comment (+206) "/* Make a comment */ why POSSEing comments takes more care than POSSEing standalone posts"
(view diff)
#
tantek
in short: when B comments on A's post and sends a webmention, and both A and B POSSE their posts, wherever they happen to both POSSE to (e.g. on Twitter), their POSSE'd copies should link-up there as well.
#
tantek
so those on the silo (e.g. Twitter), will be able to follow the conversation, even when A and B are replying directly peer-to-peer and linking peer-to-peer.

now I'm curious if anyone here who *is* implementing webmention sending, POSSE, and setting in_reply_to_status_id on Twitter copies, is actually doing all three in combination!
#
tommorris
sometime soon. ;)
#
tantek
!tell barnabywalters when you post a comment regarding an indieweb post, do you also when POSSEing your comment to Twitter give it the in_reply_to_status_id of the Twitter copy of the original indieweb post (that you're commenting on)?
#
Loqi

of course this would need someway to discover from a post what are the POSSE'd copies
#
tantek
rel="alternate" ?
#
tantek
rel="syndication" ?
#
tantek
(it is more specific than just an "alternate")
#
tantek
I thought we discussed this but apparently it wasn't captured
#
tantek
or maybe I just imagined it
#
tantek
for how to link from a post to syndicated copies
#
tantek
hmm, barnabywalters is using class="u-as-downstream-duplicate u-alternate" on the link
#
tantek
tommorris - do any of your posts on tommorris.org link to their POSSE'd copies on Twitter or elsewhere?

#
tantek
And with that, I think I've figured out a fully POSSE-aware way to do peer-to-peer comments and have everything automatically discovered, linked up, and displayed as nicely (or nicer than) what the silos do.
#
tantek
Now to code it...
#
tantek
or rather, now to sleep on the design, and iterate on it after the rest of you lot have had a chance to pick it apart :)

#
tommorris
yeah, I should probably have a 'Post elsewhere' section
#
tantek
hmm - that's not actually a link to the copy
#
tommorris
which would have links to the versions on Twitter (and app.net and FB eventually)
#
tantek
that's a link to the retweet intent URL

#
tommorris
yeah, that's easily fixable. I'll do that later on today
#
tantek
so does that happen automatically for all your posts?
#
tommorris
I store the tweet ID for each post if it gets posted to Twitter
#
tommorris
I have the option to not syndicate to Twitter on a per-post basis
#
tommorris
if I don't, it obviously doesn't have a tweet ID

in that case, since you're going to "do that later on today", I'd be interested in your opinion on: http://indiewebcamp.com/posts-elsewhere#Suggested_Markup
#
tantek
and when you've implemented a 'Post elsewhere' section, add yourself and an example post to: http://indiewebcamp.com/posts-elsewhere#Automatic
#
tommorris
rel=syndication seems like a good idea

tantek

tommorris
I already have something at http://tommorris.org/posts/2506
#
tantek
I think with that, we have all the follow-your-nose pieces in place for fully POSSE'd and POSSE connected peer-to-peer comments.
#
tantek
well on that post you have a "discussed further at:" section
#
tantek
which is more like a "Comments" section
#
tantek
than an "Elsewhere" section
#
tommorris
yep, that is added manually
#
tantek
right, they're different kinds of sections
#
tommorris
I might use that existing code and add something like "This post is syndicated at:" and "Comments and further discussion"
#
tantek
looking forward to seeing your choice of design & copy
#
tommorris
so I'm planning to add a cron job that will 'syndicate back' app.net
#
tantek
(which, can I just say, I really appreciate the broad diversity in design & copy in all of our own implementations of all this stuff on our individual blogs)
#
tommorris
yup. "design" might be pushing it a bit for mine. I really need to fix some egregious CSS howlers at some point
#
tommorris
line height for one, and there's a mobile iOS bug I need to fix
#
tommorris
mobile safari rather
#
tantek
tommorris - don't undercut yourself, your site is definitely *designed* in as much as it is plenty usable, clean, simple, and easy to read
#
tommorris
in terms of front-end implementation... there's a reason I spend my work life inside a database rather than inside Firebug. ;)
#
tantek
sure, maybe a tad bit more line-height, but really, that's a detail
#
tantek
it's so much easier to read than any article on a mainstream media site with all the garbage noise in the gutters
#
tommorris
and share buttons everywhere
#
tommorris
I did recently change the display of long articles on the main page to have a jQuery 'read more' thing
#
tommorris
so stuff that's over about 400 characters gets a JavaScript 'read more'
#
tommorris
if you don't have JS enabled, you see the whole thing. ;)

oh that's smart

I wanted to keep the mobile-friendly behaviour of "be able to load the front page and read everything without Ajax"
#
tommorris
because of the use case of reading on the tube etc.
#
tommorris
the checking-in-on-my-site thing has changed my behaviour somewhat. when people ask where we'll meet, I tell them I'll check in on my site. I'm debating whether or not to POSSE the check-in-on-my-site posts out to Foursquare for their convenience or not
#
tantek
would be cool just to see you explore the "how to" POSSE to foursquare
#
tantek
so far we have theoretical strategies but no one has yet implemented POSSE to foursquare
#
tommorris
it'd only be a matter of adding to my job queue - basically it'd call the Foursquare API, look for the venue that looks closest (possibly using levenshtein distance or similar string distance calculation, as well as geo distance)
#
tommorris
then sending a checkin that doesn't sync out to Twitter/fb, and include a link back as the comment
#
tantek
job queue is one method. being able to do it realtime at post-authoring time is another.
#
tantek
that would allow for you to correct for any "venue closest" errors
#
tommorris
adds a bit too much complexity to the checkin UI
#
tantek
it's a tradeoff, sure
#
tommorris
the worst case scenario is that the checkins don't match: in which case I'd write it so that unless it's like 80%+ sure, it'd fail
#
tantek
maybe your "venue closest" code will be highly accurate/trustable :)
#
tommorris
the problem arises not for things like pubs or bars or restaurants but things like train stations
#
tommorris
"London Charing Cross" and "Charing Cross" and "Charing Cross railway station" and "Charing Cross tube station" - which one to check into? ;)
#
tantek
airports have the same issue
#
tommorris
given that there is the "Charing Cross" - an actual statue with a Christian cross on the top - right outside the train station. It is the measuring point which is used when people calculate and say "London is X miles from New York"
#
tantek
airport, concourse, gate
#
tommorris
but nobody would ever 'check in' to that, because it's not really a thing one could check in *to*
#
tantek
people check into the yoda statue in SF
#
tommorris
you can't just do it based on location either as Foursquare has vandalism
#
tantek
as wikis do
#
tommorris
in Tunbridge Wells, there's a venue called "Your Mum"
#
tantek
yes at some past SXSWi confs, people would create venues for each other, and each others, ahem, body parts, to which they would then check into
#
tantek
and then compete for mayorship
#
tantek
huh, one of the body part venues is still around: https://foursquare.com/v/trammells-beard/4bafd2a0f964a520a8233ce3
#
tommorris
Why did I never visit the Yoda Statue when I was in SF? ;)

and the post that your post replies to, http://www.bradryanbice.com/2013/03/i-launched-a-new-look-and-feel-today-and-im-tweeting-from-wordpress/ itself doesn't link to its POSSE'd copy on Twitter either

aaronpk - do you only POSSE your replies to Twitter that are actually in-reply-to directly to a tweet, and not your replies to indieweb posts?
#
aaronpk
tantek: looks like that was an error, I think I had changed some code on my site that day, was supposed to have been tweeted out as well
scor joined the channel
#
tantek
how did you detect what tweet id to link your POSSE'd copy to Twitter to?
#
tantek
there's no obvious link from the bradryanbice.com to its POSSE'd copy
#
aaronpk
I found his post through this channel because he used the #ownyourdata hashtag
#
aaronpk
so I had the twitter version first
#
tantek
but http://aaronparecki.com/replies/2013/03/19/1/indiewebcamp has in-reply-to (and links to) the bradryanbice.com post
#
tantek
so did you enter the twitter version manually into your posting UI?
#
aaronpk
oh! that's what happened...
#
aaronpk
in my posting UI i have only one field for "in-reply-to" URL
#
tantek
as in, when POSSEing to Twitter, be sure the POSSE copy sets its in-reply-to to this other tweet iID?
#
aaronpk
so I entered his actual URL, not the twitter version
#
tantek
a-ha!
#
aaronpk
which is why I didn't end up posting it to twitter
#
aaronpk
because my posting UI only auto-checks the "syndicate to twtiter" option if the in-reply-to is on twitter.com
#
tantek
did you see my proposal for how to auto-detect when an in-reply-to has a POSSE'd copy on Twitter?
#
aaronpk
yes! I like it!
#
aaronpk
I need to step through it again because I was only glancing at the channel when you wrote it, but it seemed reasonable at first!
#
tantek
at the end of that section, starting with: "If you get to the point of asking this question: "
#
tantek
now it wouldn't have helped in this case, because the bradryanbice.com version doesn't link to its Twitter copy
#
tantek
so I suppose you could have fallback UI in your posting interface that lets you manually enter a Twitter URL for the @-reply to set its in-reply-to-status-id
#
aaronpk
yes, I supposed I should have a field for each service I POSSE to
#
aaronpk
and my UI should automatically fill it in if it finds the rel="syndication" URL in the primary URL I enter

RE comment display: if I send a webmention, I (theoretical me) might just want to let the page know I’ve linked to them, and might not want to license my content to be displayed by the recipient
#
barnabywalters
if the reply is an article, then using just the p-summary is probably acceptable whatever the license
#
barnabywalters
perhaps not so if the content is a note
#
barnabywalters
but either way, without a solid definition of in-reply-to, it’s hard to know whether or not to treat incoming mentions as “comment” style replies, or as “retweet/quote” style replies

on the distinction between comment/reply: WP says reply is a “statement or acknowledgment made in response to an interrogative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question”
#
barnabywalters
comment = “verbal or written remark often related to an added piece of information”
#
barnabywalters
in this context the distinction is probably more confusing than useful
#
barnabywalters
especially when also dealing with linking posts which *aren’t* comments/replies
#
barnabywalters
so, when I implement this, more than likely I will initially have just a list of people who have linked to the post, in the network section of my note UI (the bit listing POSSEd copies)
#
barnabywalters
and ignore any distinctions based on the worlds of silos and blog commenting
#
tommorris
barnabywalters: Tumblr's 'notes' semantics is quite reasonable on that front

tommorris
covers 'likes'/'hearts' and reposts and reposts with comments

finally catches up with activity above
#
tantek
ah, too bad barnaby left, I wanted to ask him more about "might not want to license my content to be displayed by the recipient"
#
tantek
the flipside is, by propagating indieweb comments across sites, we increase the chances of them staying around
#
tantek
a lot of the comments I linked to just using the person's name have long since disappeared from their own sites (if their sites are even still up or still theirs)
#
tantek
wish I'd somehow copied their comments

!tell barnabywalters re: "without a solid definition of in-reply-to" - could you rephrase that as set of questions/issues? I'm writing up a specification for in-reply-to here: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-in-reply-to
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next

barnabywalters: tantek left you a message 30 minutes ago: re: "without a solid definition of in-reply-to" - could you rephrase that as set of questions/issues? I'm writing up a specification for in-reply-to here: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-in-reply-to
#
barnabywalters
tantek: fab, I’ll add them to the page
#
barnabywalters
tantek: I dumped some unpolished thoughts in http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-in-reply-to#Issues
#
tantek
thanks that helps!
#
barnabywalters
tantek: you have a Firefox OS phone right?
#
tantek
barnabywalters I think from the perspective of handling different replies - we should just try stuff and see what happens
#
barnabywalters
tantek: sure, probably a theoretical problem anyway
#
tantek
I mean, a few of us are manually adding comment links to a few posts at this point and nothing more.
#
tantek
so we should try to do *something* better
#
tantek
because frankly, Pingback display SUCKS, e.g. see the bottom of : https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/04/10/gearing-up-for-the-next-chapter/
#
tantek
those summaries are worthless
#
tantek
and "Pingback" is jargon - it doesn't belong in UI / display

tantek
yes I have a FFOS test device
#
barnabywalters
yeah, also they are typically set apart from comments — usually below, reducing their perceived worth
#
barnabywalters
cool, I’m trying to get hold of a nexus S so I can try it out on an actual device
#
tantek
it's pretty cool
#
tantek
all web apps and stuff
#
tantek
ideally I want to post/read from my indiewebsite on my FFOS device :)
#
tantek
(I don't say phone because I prefer to do everything over wifi)
#
tommorris
http://tommorris.org/posts/8197 - now has links to the app.net syndicated version
#
barnabywalters
yeah, I built the emulator a few months ago, and then downloaded the new simulator yesterday — nice to see lots of progress!
#
tommorris
will add rel link when I get home
#
barnabywalters
tantek: I can do that already in the simulator :)
#
tantek
nice!
#
tommorris
oh, bugger, needs /status in the tweet one
#
tantek
I want the whole of experience of being out and and about and actually mobile posting from my FFOS mobile device (with geolocation and everything)
#
barnabywalters
need to add an app manifest for shiny icons, but otherwise it was an effortless (i.e. write the URL in a box) “conversion” process
#
Loqi
gives tantek the whole of experience of being out and and about and actually mobile posting from my FFOS mobile device
#
tantek
WOOT!
#
Loqi
yay!
#
barnabywalters
tantek: yeah, that’s why I want to get it installed on a real world device
#
barnabywalters
I don’t suppose mozilla makes them available to any non-mozillians? ;)
#
tantek
barnabywalters - they are available for developer pre-order or something
#
barnabywalters
from geeksphone? “or something” is about right
#
tantek
also - as you noted, you can install FFOX on several android devices
#
tommorris
I want Tom Daley naked and covered in chocolate.
#
tommorris
(go on Loqi)
#
Loqi
who, me?
#
tantek
tommorris - lol
#
tommorris
Loqi gives tantek all the things. no fair
#
Loqi
TANTEK ALL THE THINGS http://loqi.me/6xa
#
tantek
now you've done it
#
barnabywalters
apparently Loqi thinks your name is a verb
#
tantek
barnabywalters I don't think it checks for verbness
#
barnabywalters
really? perhaps not, but sometimes he seems to miss X all the Y
#
tantek
before it verb all the nouns
#
barnabywalters
perhaps there’s some other condidion
#
tantek
probably some resting state
#
tantek
tommorris, are your "This post is syndicated to:" sections automatic or manual?
#
tantek
(looks automatic)
#
tantek
(and yes you're missing a /status ;) )
#
tantek
and hey - how about some rel=syndication on those links?

my favorite thing about loqi is how he avoids being perceived as a bot by cleverly ignoring certain comments designed to provoke him :)
