oh yeah, what’s up with wired republishing the principles wiki page in plaintext? seems a bit weird

a little messy at the end with the "Discussion" between sandeep and me but maybe that just gives it that "indie" edginess ;)
#
barnabywalters
indeed — the discussion at the bottom is a bit out of place but otherwise it holds up well
#
tantek
also shows that the principles aren't static and have been evolving

has anyone messed with ssl/tls certs on their own servers? i ran into some unfortunate hmac issues with aaronpk's geologger and wound up generating certs and setting up nginx to serve https, turned out to be not that difficult.

rknLA
(it was eerily easy, actually, so i'm hoping i didn't screw it up...)
#
bret
tantek: isnt falcon processing the different bim files based on the url? is there a way to peek at just the raw bim storage file?
#
tantek
yes - the URL format to find the raw bim storage files is described exactly at that link ^^^
#
bret
ah i see
melvster joined the channel
#
tantek
bret, so if you peek in my current storage file, you'll see an unpublished event post that I'm working on
#
tantek
my code / storage format affords the flexibility of experimenting with future posts and not have anything present effected.

I will do exactly that.

cool. we can talk location map stuff later.

(It's because Leaflet handles multiple layers and a number of other features that I thought might be fun to play with later.)

webmention question: if a post is edited to remove a link to another, should a webmention be sent to the link to inform them of the removal of the mention?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu - hey that makes sense
#
tantek
seems like the polite thing to do
#
KartikPrabhu
yes. I already have that in my code for receiving mentions. I was wondering how to do it for sending
#
tantek
It's an interesting edge case for sure

andreypopp and tpinto joined the channel
#
tantek
interesting, looks like Tumblr "does the right thing" for shortcut icons
#
KartikPrabhu
example url?
#
tantek
so if you have a Tumblr (e.g. with domain mapping) and set your avatar to be your face on Tumblr, then it works to add that as an icon to iOS homescreen
#
tantek
bear - could you check to see if you're able to easily add a shortcut icon from hannahdonovan.com to your Android home screen?
#
tantek
It doesn't seem to have the meta web-app thingie - so I'm curious if it still works
#
tantek
(or not)
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: works on adroid
#
tantek
really
#
tantek
fascinating
#
tantek
so it doesn't just add it as a bookmark?
#
tantek
it adds it to the homescreen?
#
KartikPrabhu
wait! maybe i have this wrong... the only way i could do it was as a bookmark in chrome and add the bookmark to homescreen
#
tantek
ah - that's the difference then
#
KartikPrabhu
don't tell me all my testing was wrong! oh no!!
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu - if you try it with my site, tantek.com, it should be added directly to the homescreen, being able to bypass the "bookmark" step.
#
KartikPrabhu
so I should try to bookmark ('star') it in Chrome and it will go straight to homescreen?
cweiske joined the channel
#
tantek
I think? I don't know the exact steps that bear took to make it work: http://indiewebcamp.com/icon#Android_home_screen
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah. i can't figure out a way on my android phone, wothout bookmarking it in Chrome first. Would be good to have steps to check on more devices (?)

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
KartikPrabhu
has anyone checked other browsers for 'add to homescreen' support?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu - do you have Firefox for Android?
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm not really. maybe i should use it for testing
#
tantek
at least!

come on you are just pushing Mozilla stuff now ;)

#
tantek
bear - maybe it's only in the Chrome 31 beta?
#
bear
yes it is
#
tantek
do you have it?
#
bear
it did not work with FF
#
tantek
is that what you tested with?
#
bear
yes, chrome beta for android on my nexus 7
#
KartikPrabhu
I tried FF and it did not show icon either only a generic icon with star
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu - what did you try doing? bookmarking? or saving to homescreen? what steps did you take in FF/Android?
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: attempt to bookmark on FF // FF gives an option to add usual bookmark or add to homescreen // then choose add to homescreen
#
bear
on my nexus 7 with firefox, bookmark + options + add to home screen shows my icon
#
tantek
bear - FF/Android release? or beta?
#
bear
FF 25.0.1
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu which Android device / OS v are you using
#
tantek
25 is release. huh
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: worked the second time. magic (?)
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu with which site?
#
KartikPrabhu
Android 4.3 //HTC ONE
#
bear
ah, that may have been a cache issue
#
KartikPrabhu
new FF install, cache would be empty. unless it pulls icon only if it exists in cache
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu - if you had gone to my site before yesterday on my device you have have had a cached non-custom-icon
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: I just installed FF and added to homescreen twice in a span of 10 min
#
tantek
that is odd then
#
bear
just did the same with FF 26 on my HTC One with 4.3
#
bear
it shows a better icon with FF26 than with 25

rknLA: +1 to server certs not being too hard, especially if you have your own full server/VM
#
snarfed
i did the same thing for my personal site and a handful of other sites just this weekend
#

worked fine for everything on app engine. my personal site is harder since it's apache on shared host, and they don't allow mod_ssl directives in .htaccess

#
tantek
KartikPrabhu - why the extra space inside the quote here: rel=" shortcut icon"
#
KartikPrabhu
interesting, somthing in my template system is doing that. Will it cause trouble?
#
tantek
good question - not if their parsers parse rel properly
#
KartikPrabhu
that's what i thought. but yes maybe it is better to err on the side of parsers being not proper.
#
rknLA
snarfed: yep, i've got a vm on digital ocean. tbh, the hardest part was navigating the interaction between nginx and node, since ssl termination happens at the nginx layer.
#
bear
rknLA - are you terminating ssl at nginx and just using http for your node proxy?
#
snarfed
huh. odd that that matters. i don't know much about node though, so i believe you
#
rknLA
bear: yeah,
#
bear
let me know if you have any questions, that config is what I do at my day job
#
rknLA
well, so, if i proxy_pass to http://, then it terminates at node, but if i proxy_pass https://, it works fine, but seems like overkill,
#
bear
what framework are you using?
#
rknLA
i guess it'd make sense if nginx proxied to other physical boxes, but for what i'm doing now, it doesn't seem worth it
#
rknLA
bear: hapi
#
rknLA
the exciting thing is, now that i've got self-signed certs and ssl pinning working with this geo logger, i feel way more comfortable hosting my own server for my personal transaction logger :)
#
rknLA
(and moving it off dropbox :\ )
#
bear
hmm, hapi should be ok if you set the server info.protocol to http
#
rknLA
bear: yeah, it was. it was just a matter of making things consistent. my first attempt was entirely in hapi, and then i realized that nginx is only listening on port 80,
#
rknLA
then when i went to configure nginx (and also learn how to configure nginx), i set it up to do ssl termination there.
#
bear
the fun comes when some of the frameworks assume https because of their own middleware
#
bear
but I think hapi avoids that
#
rknLA
ahhh yeah, that sounds annoying. hapi seems to handle that pretty well so far.
#
bear
nods
#
rknLA
my main issue now is skepticism. i kinda wanna try mitm-ing myself to make sure it's actually secure.
#
rknLA
it "just worked" so easily that i have a hard time believing that it's really there.
#
bear
if you do try that, head over to #nodesecurity where our SecTeam can help on either side
#
rknLA
bear: where do you work?
#
bear
&yet
#
bear
I'm the Ops person for &yet and ^Lift Security
#
rknLA
oh cool. what exactly does &yet do? i only know about it from the realtimeconf videos i saw earlier on eran hammer's blog
#

#
bear

#
rknLA

#
bear
yea, i'm very happy to be working with them - it's a very open source place

once again, we can use one size of icon and let the client resize it (if you're using a JPG, which you should be if you're using a face photo, which an indieweb site should be)

I'm gonna switch to the JPG method too since it's a photo and not line art

ooh darn. well we could use esripdx if it's around 14 people or so
#
aaronpk
we'd all fit in the conference room up front which is nice for that sort of thing
#
aaronpk
also there was talk of a syncronous SF<->PDX meetup, tantek do you think it'd be worth linking the two sites with talky.io and having a joint meetup?

bear: if I remove sslv3 from my apache config do you think that will stop the vhost cert error tantek saw?
npdoty joined the channel
#

probably not
#
bear
most likely that is from the secondary certs that you may have or have not included in your ssl cert file
#
aaronpk
secondary certs?
#
bear
a cert is signed by the certs of the CA that issued it
#
bear
so you need to include in some software that does https all of them as well as your domain's cert
#
aaronpk
oh but you were here for that discussion right?

but i'm also answering without knowing the details of the error :/

for whatever reason, the browser wasn't able to negotiate the SSL connection that allows SNI

oh right

what version of nginx were you using?

tantek, aaronpk: HWC might be a good inspiration for us all to figure out recurring events (and recurring rsvps?) in mf2
#
aaronpk
I think recurring events are only marginally useful
tilgovi joined the channel
#
aaronpk
a great example is how calagator handles it
#
aaronpk
by explicitly not supporting recurring events :)
#
aaronpk
because it's too easy for recurring events to stop happening and people forget to mark them as ended on various sites
#
aaronpk
so instead, calagator allows you to "clone" an event to a different date
#
aaronpk
that way there's less stale data
#
snarfed
i can understand that perspective
#
snarfed
i definitely appreciate true recurring events and rsvps personally, but i get that it's not an unqualified win

#
tantek
aaronpk - nailed it. (re: why no recurring events)
#
tantek
"too easy for recurring events to stop happening and people forget to mark them as ended on various sites" - perhaps a case of the future being less visible the further away it is
#
tantek
thus repeating events are a case of unintentional inclusion of invisible (or certainly less visible) data
#
etymancer
also of things being less visible the more you see them (as it were)

I like the idea of this, just wondering how to use the full screen real estate and not get the black bars at the top/bottom on my iPodtouch 5.
#
aaronpk
I rememeber that happening on one of my sites...
#
tantek
Maybe a meta viewport problem (or lack thereof?)
#
tantek
aaronpk: User-scale no is evil
#
aaronpk
can probably remove that with the same effect
#
aaronpk
user-scale=no is fine for things that are actually mobile apps
#
tantek
Consider if you post photos, you should be able to zoom.
#
tantek
It's bad for anything with images
#
tantek
Even "actual" mobile apps
#
tantek
Really annoying
#
tantek
Eg even the MFW guy removed (see comment thread on follow up)
#
aaronpk
user-scale is a separate issue from the black bar thing which is what i was trying to point out
#
benwerd
aaronpk, tantek: thanks for that - have implemented, but I also don't like the user-scale stuff, so I removed it
#
benwerd
shouldn't letterbox on your 5 now though

benwerd
hopefully
#

Ahem: "$image_copy = imagerotate($image_copy, 90, 0);"

er, your PHP is showing

btw which <meta name="viewport"> does what ?
#
benwerd
this is generic, sets up device-width etc: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
#
benwerd
this one overrides for the iPhone 5 specifically (with the screen resolution): <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0" media="(device-height: 568px)" />
#
tantek_
so I'm now convinced it's unnecessary
#
tantek_
all I need to do was add *one* meta tag to get the "launch as separate full screen app" effect: <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
#
tantek_
look ma, no meta viewport: tantek.com
#
aaronpk
that said, do you really want to be launching your site as a full-screen app? cause it means I can't copy-paste URLs from the browser
#
tantek_
and no <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"> either
#
bret
reading about dom templating in node http://blog.nodejitsu.com/micro-templates-are-dead
#
tantek
aaronpk - iOS Safari URL copy-paste is such an awkward UI
#
tantek
it's a good reason to include nicer URL copy-paste UI in your permalinks!
#
tantek
I like the idea of a personal site having a self-contained UI that doesn't depend on browser chrome (but is perhaps progressively enhanced by it)
#
aaronpk
except I always know where to find the address bar in my mobile browser, but everyone's permalink will be in a different spot on their site
#
tantek
benwerd - I can't see any effect from <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"> on your site compared to mine now on my iPodtouch 5

also I don't see any benefit of including the meta viewport tag

prefers minimal markup. If a tag doesn't have a noticeable effect, leave it out.
#
benwerd
it's possible that black is already the default bar color on your device - not sure it is in iOS 7

aside: Dalton shared this post with me - re: distinguishing "broadcast" as a different kind of post type: http://blog.app.net/2013/11/21/announcing-app-net-broadcast/
#
tantek
bret - do you have any citations re: "slow them down?" or is it hearsay/rumors?
#
tantek
so … rough guess - local links should stay in the "app" but links to external sites should open up in the browser?
#
aaronpk
this sounds like the <a target="_new"> debates from 10 years ago
#
aaronpk
personally if I'm on a site, I want to be able to choose which links open in a new tab and which stay in the same window, regardless of the domain
#
aaronpk
I may want to queue up a few blog posts in other tabs for example
#
tantek
aaronpk - even on mobile?
#
tantek
(I mean I agree on desktop/laptop)
#
tantek
(I totally get annoyed when sites stop me from command-clicking a link to open it in a new tab)
#
tantek
and I have to ctrl-click to context-menu choose "Open link in new tab"
#
aaronpk
especially because the cost of going back and forth in mobile browsers is often greater (longer page load times, or not possible if you lose network connectivity)
#
tantek
interesting, on mobile I'm usually single-threading any particular site viewing / reading experience
#
tantek
though maybe that's an adaptation to iOS Safari's horrible web caching? (or nearly complete lack thereof)?

aaronpk - what if you could touch-hold and get the pop-up buttons that gave you options like "Open in Safari" … "Copy" etc.?
#
tantek
I agree with adhering to user preferences BTW
#
tantek
which is why I'm treading lightly here
#
aaronpk
if touch-hold opened up the same context menu as normal that'd be fine
#
aaronpk
the options I have are "Open, Open in New Page, Add to Reading List, Copy"
#
aaronpk
and while I don't use reading list, I imagine some people do. and I do use "copy" frequently

it looks like Apple's perception of what's a "web app" assume lots of JS heavy lifting

that seems like an accurate description
#
bret
tantek: i remember reading about it. let me look into it quickly
#
tantek
aaronpk - based on that I don't think it's good advice to ask people to walk that path. too much complexity involved.

tantek
(the path of making your website a standalone web app on iOS)
#
bret
tantek: here is the issue: http://daringfireball.net/2011/03/nitro_ios_43 But I think maybe they fixed it by now
#
aaronpk
tantek: yeah I agree. I think home screen bookmark is probably good enough
#
tantek
ok I'm going to move " iOS site as app " to "advanced" or something to give fair warning
#
aaronpk
I think the "site as app" thing is probably not a good idea, since apps are usually not very webby by definition
#
bnvk
Do any of the "Tent" people hangout here?

iOS site as app moved to a new "Advanced" section in case anyone is interested or curious: http://indiewebcamp.com/icon#Advanced along with the problems found and URLs for further reading.

aaronpk - re: maps in events, that URL I saved in my Falcon "working on" section is my current thinking (as a piece of the event post)
#
aaronpk
ah cool
#
tantek
obviously I still need to build the other building blocks into a complete event post, make sure it "looks good" (is quickly understandable) on mobile
#
tantek
and then figure out how to present it when it's in a composite stream with other post types
#
aaronpk
what are you thinking wrt a mobile view?
#
tantek
improving upon mobile FB event permalink view
#
tantek
as I think they've got the best (mobile event presentation) of anyone right now (G+, Plancast, ??)
#
aaronpk
ah cool, I haven't seen much of FB events on mobile
#
tantek
I got the idea for the wide but short event map from FB
#
tantek
though I've tweaked it to be more usable / useful than FB event's map embeds

that static map is way slick!
#
tantek
thanks bret! and thank aaronpk (I only tweaked the parameters until I got what looked good)
#
tantek
we'll see how it looks & feels when embedded in the middle of a bunch of other event information
#
bret
you could enhance it with JS too, conceivably, turning it into a live map upon interaction
#
aaronpk
bret: source code is here if you want to run it on your own site :) https://github.com/esripdx/Static-Maps-API-PHP
#
bret
i need to learn php :(
#
tantek
bret - you could, but easier to simply link to an external gmap to do that
#
tantek
especially for mobile
#
tantek
which I think may launch the gmaps app
#
tantek
on some platforms
#
tantek
(insert lots of hand waving)
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
tantek
I really don't want to maintain a bunch of JS on my site
#
tantek
that always seems like signing up for more maintenance headaches
#

aaronpk: does indieauth follow redirects and support https?
#
aaronpk
sort of yes
#
aaronpk
I believe right now it rejects links that go from https->http
#
dietrich
i set it up using your example code, but none of my services are verifying
#
aaronpk
i can look real quick, what'syour site?
#
aaronpk
well your github profile doesn't link to http://metafluff.com/
#
dietrich
ah, i have to have the link back
#
dietrich
the error said there was no rel=me, so i stopped there :)
#
aaronpk
"supported" is the key operator there :)
#
aaronpk
the twitter one looks right...
#
dietrich
ah and twitter was a www which i don't have set up

#
aaronpk
oh funny... i'm getting an SSL error on twitter.com now
#
dietrich
yeah that's the only one i don't have working now
#
aaronpk
ok cool
#
aaronpk
yeah that's a weird one... I might have to update the server certs or something again
#
aaronpk
SSL is kind of a pain sometimes
#
dietrich
understatement

edited /icon (+238) "/* iOS site as app */ link to apple dev docs"
(view diff)
#
dietrich
so, logging into indiewebcamp.com via indieauth created a user account with a name of "Metafluff.com"
#
aaronpk
correct
#
dietrich
how can i make it so it uses a proper name?
#
aaronpk
you can't
#
tantek
dietrich - it uses the (domain) name you already chose
#
aaronpk
it's a little bit different way of thinking about accounts. rather than making an account on the wiki, think of it as identifying to the wiki as your domain
#
tantek
You're welcome to create a user page for the account and add an h-card with given-name family-name etc. ;)
#
dietrich
sure, i understand how the system works, but that's different than user experience
#
tantek
exactly. no need to create yet another name.
#
tantek
dietrich - yes, we've removed a step.
#
tantek
making progress bit by bit

dietrich
heh, funny guy
#
dietrich
turns out i *do* have a name though, and it's not my domain name
#
dietrich
i was already confused, trying to find my user page on indiewebcamp.com
#
dietrich
and then found a link to my domain name on the bottom
#
aaronpk
dietrich: my intent was actually to point out the user experience, not the system architecture
#
aaronpk
the fact that there is a mediawiki user account behind the scenes is irrelevant to you being able to identify as your domain and make wiki edits
#
tantek
dietrich - yes, there's some improvements that can be made with auto-detecting someone's "human" name from their h-card at their domain
#
dietrich
yeah i got that
#
tantek
and then using that to address them in the UI
#
bret
I belive it was to help demonstrate and promote domain as a primary identity http://indiewebcamp.com/Why_web_sign-in
#
dietrich
tantek: righty, that's exactly i was talking about
#
tantek
bret we could do both e.g.: given-name family-name (domain-name)
snarfed1 joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk - what do you think of reading someone's h-card from their domain upon first login and creating their user page with that h-card?
#
dietrich
that would reduce confusion in my case :)
KevinMarks joined the channel
#
tantek
that could be a start towards greeting people by their human name
#
tantek
just thinking out loud here
#
aaronpk
tantek: you mean like auto-populating their user page with some content?
#
tantek
yes - auto-*creating* their user page
#
aaronpk
(user page still being their domain name)
#
bret
the found h-card? way cool
#
tantek
right
#
tantek
all identity is still done by their domain name
#
aaronpk
yeah that would be awesome
#
tantek
however we can put some presentational sugar on top
#
tantek
to humanize it
#
tantek
and frankly, show how using web identity can be superior to email identity

tantek
in UX
