i don't see that page either. does IndieWebCamp just show the main page?
#
cuibonobo
what is IndieWebCamp?
#
Loqi
IndieWebCamps are brainstorming and building events where IndieWeb creators gather semi-regularly to meet in person, share ideas, and collaborate on IndieWeb design, UX, & code for their own sites http://indiewebcamp.com/indiewebcamp
#
tantek
ah. #redirect:[[indiewebcamp]] then
#
cuibonobo
so strange that it didn't show up in the search!

evan: vektra sounds rad!
#
evan
bret: thanks!
#
bret
I'll check it out when I get home
#
bret
I run on heroku because correctly setting up a bps was too much work at the time
#
evan
yeah
#
evan
so probably in the next month or so
#
evan
we'll have `vektra outpost:apply`
#
evan
which, give some ssh creds, will go into an ubuntu 14.04 instance and install the vektra software on it
#
evan
so you could easily spin up your own VPS and tell vektra to turn it into a vektra instance

Has anyone ever done a multi-author Indieweb site?
#
GWG
I know I've asked before...
paulfitz joined the channel
#
GWG
But if I own my domain, but want to share it...
lukebrooker joined the channel
#
GWG
Maybe I should just syndicate
#
KevinMarks
Known does that
#
KartikPrabhu
syndication and multi-author do not sound similar
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I have a second site where I talk tech sometimes
#
GWG
It isn't a site with my personal thoughts, like my own site
#
GWG
But I like writing technical discussions sometimes.
#
KartikPrabhu
that sounds like single author multiple sites
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I always wanted to have other people write there
#
GWG
I just never found the other people
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: maybe ask these others to write on their own site and post copies to your tech site
#
KartikPrabhu
that would be good syndication
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I haven't gotten automatic reposting set. I should.
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: Will think about that. But I was thinking multi-author h-card issues
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: i don't think there is any issue with multi-author h-cards
#
KartikPrabhu
rel-me is different

#
KevinMarks
You could do subdomains for each author
#
KevinMarks
Known does profile pages
lukebrooker, shaners and j12t joined the channel
#
GWG
KevinMarks: I think that confuses the issue if the readers don't care about the authors
#
GWG
You probably read a fair amount of news, do you always remember the byline?
#
GWG
Or do you say...I read it in the Guardian? The Times? The Chronicle? Etc?
#
GWG
Admittedly, that is a silo of sorts as well
#
GWG
Is the ideal multi-author content site an Indiereader?
#
GWG
I may be overthinking again
#
@kevinmarks
@xxcoeur66xx us though it's very quiet in there. More chatter in #indiewebcamp

My plans for multi-user in Homesteading land is for me to have my own site and you to have your own site, then to have a subscriber app that slurps both of them and zips them together to create a composite feed.

Trying to work out how to make a community forum #indieweb compatible. is the answer just accepting webmentions as - http://acegiak.net/2014/10/03/5637/

#
KevinMarks
Look at http://launch.orbit.do for multi author in known
#
KevinMarks
Each post has an author, that are clickable to show all their posts
#
GWG
KevinMarks: Design is hard
#
shaners
aaronpk Has there been any thoughts around site to site micropub in the place of webmention then go back and crawl?
#
shaners
I haven't thought thru that at all. It just popped into my brain now.
#
KartikPrabhu
seems like the "trust" thing sort of is an issue here

TysonBrooks
Hey all... I'm looking for a social network search engine. Wanting to search all social networks for a keyword or keywords. I'd use Google but I don't want to see miscellaneous websites.
#
TysonBrooks
Does it exist?
KevinMarks and snarfed joined the channel
#
GWG
TysonBrooks: Custom Google Search possibly, but Google doesn't index all of them
aaronpk_ joined the channel
#
TysonBrooks
I never thought of that. Wonder if it'd turn up anything like "#linux" being the search and show me everything.

Course the other thing I'd like to do is see it in real time.

#
Loqi
xxcoeurxx: barnabywalters left you a message 1 week, 3 days ago: cyborgcamp.com is looking great, I’d love to see some microformats support e.g. h-entry and h-event! http://shrewdness.waterpigs.co.uk/test/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcyborgcamp.com%2F

xxcoeurxx: snarfed left you a message 1 day, 10 hours ago: btw, on the topic of bridgy facebook access expiring, looks like amber's expired too. amber, you can click on the yellow pause icon to reconnect it! https://www.brid.gy/facebook/31600719
#
xxcoeurxx
hmmm is loqi serving messages to all who newly join?
#
GWG
acegiak: I've been thinking again, dangerous as that is.
#
ben_thatmust
xxcoeurxx, he stores any messages you leave for people.. like so
#
ben_thatmust
!tell bobthesquid hey there
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

bobthesquid
hey
#
acegiak
GWG: lol, and?

bobthesquid
Loqi?
#
Loqi
bobthesquid: ben_thatmust left you a message 17 seconds ago: hey there
#
xxcoeurxx

acegiak: I'm thinking of reprioritizing trying out a shortcode added front-end note poster.
#
acegiak
as in increasing it's priority?
#
acegiak
I think a frontend poster plugin would be cool!
#
acegiak
does it not already exist? (probable not with support for taxonomies etc?)
#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: are those messages for you though? tantek has been known to leave preemptive messages :P
#
xxcoeurxx
well i have no idea tbh KartikPrabhu but from tanteks brief stint in #joiito it wouldnt suprise me haha :D

acegiak: I want it with the Reply Context and setting up all the things for a note.
#
acegiak
GWG yeah, fair enough
#
acegiak
new plugin with dependency on taxonomy
#
GWG
acegiak: This is what someone was working on at IWC NYC, but I haven't heard from him of late
#
GWG
acegiak: Exactly
#
GWG
acegiak: I want something that works for the quick note/reply
#
GWG
Like something this simple...
shaners and parzzix joined the channel

anyway, I've got to go post a package

Good evening folks
#
xxcoeurxx
well i asked KevinMarks if #joiito was still populated since i had taken a timeout from all webby things for the past three years, so he suggested i come in here :)
tantek joined the channel
#
GWG
xxcoeurxx: What are you looking to do?
#
GWG
We're a...scratch your itch kind of place
#
GWG
So I'm told.
#
GWG
But I'm the pondering type. Sometimes the action type
#
xxcoeurxx
GWG: well i'm a scratch itches kind of guy so we'll see what i can provide or do :)
#
xxcoeurxx
i'm more the action type ;)
#
xxcoeurxx
just dont make me do gifs. after last weeks deadline, im not sure i wasnt traumatized.
herbsmn joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
Mostly this is about setting up your own website and connecting it to others
#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: is levenom.com your site? it gives a 403 right now
#
xxcoeurxx
KartikPrabhu: yep, and i know, trying to figure out why nginx is misbehaving on openshift >_>
#
GWG
xxcoeurxx: We all have different ones
#
xxcoeurxx
KevinMarks: neat :D
#
GWG
Some overlap
#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: there you go your first indieweb itch ;)
#
xxcoeurxx
KartikPrabhu: hahaha ;)
#
xxcoeurxx
the funny thing is that its up and performing nominally for me, but is a hit or miss for everyone else.
#
xxcoeurxx
which is interesting, since the other site i maintain in openshift, is not misbehaving at all.
#
KevinMarks
Have you got some origin IP rules?
#
shaners
What is nginx?
#
Loqi
Nginx is one of the two commonly used HTTPd server projects (Apache being the other) http://indiewebcamp.com/Nginx
#
KartikPrabhu
ha! shaners you can tantek eveything :P
#
shaners
all of the things
#
xxcoeurxx
KevinMarks none that applies to this usecase.
#
GWG
For example, acegiak and I both run WordPress, so we often overlap on WordPress needs
#
GWG
What is WordPress?
#
Loqi
WordPress is an open source blog software as well as a blog hosting service http://indiewebcamp.com/WordPress
#
KartikPrabhu
it seems to have a checklist
#
xxcoeurxx
KartikPrabhu: considering its apache throwing an error..
#
KartikPrabhu
hmm yeah maybe not then
#
xxcoeurxx
i know what it is.
#
xxcoeurxx
and now that i think i know what it is. i feel like a quagmire.
dietrich joined the channel
#
xxcoeurxx
this is why you dont have a wildcard in the dns rules.
#
xxcoeurxx
hmm that wasnt it.
#
bret
Gwg known has a stream site
#
xxcoeurxx
aand there's no apache installed in the cartridge.
#

#
tantek
xxcoeurxx: looks like all those messages Loqi relayed to you were meant for caseorganic
#
tantek
not sure what happened there
#
tantek
!tell aaronpk it looks like Loqi got nicknames crossed and gave messages to xxcoeurxx that were intended for caseorganic. See http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-10-02#t1412300329621 and on.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
xxcoeurxx
tantek: i'm sorry?
#
KartikPrabhu
thanks indie-visitor for tha
#
tantek
xxcoeurxx: you didn't do anything wrong - but this is Loqi messing up: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-10-02#t1412300329621

no idea why - Loqi's never done that before in here

they both also resolve to the same ips.

#
xxcoeurxx
hmmm the exit notes from aral balkan about ello is tainted btw
#
shaners
xxcoeurxx how do you mean "tainted"?
#
xxcoeurxx
apparently he's building a competing social network based on the same founding principle.
scor joined the channel
#
shaners
xxcoeurxx which social network is that?
#
xxcoeurxx
shaners: heartbeat or somesuch, you can read about it on http://ind.ie
#
kylewm
xxcoeurxx: are you the person he blocked for pointing that out?
scor joined the channel
#
xxcoeurxx
but to be fair, i probably came off as antagonistic since i've been asking uncomfy questions of him for a week :)
#
kylewm
ahh, context!
#
xxcoeurxx
haha yes :)
#
xxcoeurxx
it boils down to this, you can't have freedom[0-4] if you're already walled in.
#
xxcoeurxx
and well, both myself and ioerror have been asking them questions offline as well
#
xxcoeurxx
and when jake met up with him he was very nose to nose with him.
#
xxcoeurxx
omg yes microformats!
#
tantek
what is freedom?

oh, fsf :)

#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: maybe aral sees Ello not doing a good enough thing for "freedom" but since there are no details about how HeartBeat works it is definitely pre-mature
#
xxcoeurxx
KartikPrabhu: aiming for osx only for alpha release is kinda icky for a open source, web only project.
#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: is HeartBeat supposed to be web-only... ? not sure how that works with the p2p stuff it talks about
#
xxcoeurxx
KartikPrabhu: yep

#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: hmm i did raise this question before: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-10-01#t1412199537860 and seems like no one knows but aral, and I don't want to publically question him...

re: «not doing a good enough thing for "freedom" » there's a canonical answer for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE

what is Heartbeat?

It looks like we don't have a page for "Heartbeat" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=Heartbeat

there's one developer and three designers doing heartbeat

KartikPrabhu: feel free to start that stub with your question(s) about it
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: you are going to put me in the internet cross-hairs aren't you?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: your questions are perfectly reasonable, might as well capture them. others can add to the page as needed.
#
tantek
and "internet cross-hairs"? please. announcement-ware can fire silo tweets at best.

sooo how much $BEVERAGE are you looking for? ;)
#
xxcoeurxx
hmm i'm getting an error at github..
#
@aral
In case the initial announcement doesn’t make it clear, Heartbeat & all our platform code will be released under GNU GPL. #freeasinfreedom
(twitter.com/_/status/517369474564239360)
#
cuibonobo
i take issue with the idea that GPL == free as in freedom. copyleft licenses actually depend on the power of copyright to be successful and large corporations are always looking to make copyright even more powerful.
#
cuibonobo
seems contrary to what ind.ie says to espouse
#
xxcoeurxx
why doesnt the mail verification thingie support +@ ?
#
KartikPrabhu
xxcoeurxx: what error did you get with github for indieauth?
#
xxcoeurxx
KartikPrabhu: i solved it, it had old info in it
#
KartikPrabhu
aah ok cool :)
#
xxcoeurxx
but i like to prefix my stuff when it comes to mail.
#
xxcoeurxx
so robert.renling+h@gmail.com didnt work.
#
xxcoeurxx
which seems odd, it's been rfc'd for decades.

Yeah, I get annoyed when overzealous email "verification" says my + is invalid

aaronpk_
is what I'm confused about

aaronpk_
I don't understand how that is possible
#
aaronpk_
obviously it is possible, so actually I don't understand why it has never happened before
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk_ first user with 2 double x's in nick ?
#
aaronpk_
xxcoeurxx: your username is "case"
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk_ hmm it matches the Freenode user name?

yeah. that's leftover from when this was originally on a private IRC server where everyone had consistent usernames but different nicks

i think it has to do with what "public" means. if a conversation of yours in a public park is then published somewhere, it would create icky feelings

even though "legally" you would have no standing

because you made the statements in a "public" place

in fact nothing stops people from backfeeding your comment to the "wrong" post

yes. which is why i struggle with displaying backfeeds at all. in my current setup i'm capturing backfeeds, but not displaying them. because i'm still not sure.

cuibonobo: is this only an issue with silos or would you be hesitant to display a comment I made to your post but on my site?

cuibonobo
KartikPrabhu: my issue is with silos specifically. the comments are made in walled gardens and i don't think it matters that a public URL exists or not. 'comment on Facebook' and 'comment on my blog' are different contexts
#
KartikPrabhu
this is big grey area. Tumblr is a silo-ed blog service
#
KartikPrabhu
so is Wordpress.com. But in any case, you can make up your own mind about this, I just don't see the diff.

It's actually a great way to start it off. rather than loading up on a domain and assuming no one knows to visit the uri until after you have set it up. it just edits the page and puts that one link. enough to start use that first indie auth only

actually scratch that. it would take them two seconds to just set up a Twitter account

its all opensource
#
davidmead
ben_thatmust: a lot of features there. I created a test post and sent it to Known http://davidmead.withknown.com/2014/test. Used that URL in the edit screen and it created a new post http://davidmead.withknown.com/2014/this-is-me-editing-it without toughing the original
#
ben_thatmust
yeah, without edit support, thats what will happen
#
davidmead
I guess I expected your page to pull in the content from the entry when I entered the permalink
#
davidmead
that obviously didn’t happen :-)
#
ben_thatmust
problem with that is that it would have to use JS, which won't work across domains unless your site specifically allows it
#
aaronpk_
it does pull in the content
#
ben_thatmust
JS has a Same Origin Policy
#
aaronpk_
I see "test" in the body
#
ben_thatmust
aaronpk_ he's saying if you don't use the GET val
#
ben_thatmust
just enter it manually on the page, and it can't do JS to pull the content
#
aaronpk_
you can just make a server-side thing on your end that fetches the content
#
ben_thatmust
actually, i guess i could do a call back on my own page, and just curl via php
#
ben_thatmust
i had hoped to use JS, offload the data pull
#
davidmead
aaronpk because i’d expect to see the content of the permalink I enter on Ben’s page, so I can edit it, rather than just replace it wholesale.
#
aaronpk_
davidmead: if you click that link I pasted a few lines ago you see your content that's at your URL like you'd expect

chrome shows a blank grey page on 400 for example

the fact that there's a difference between usernames and nicknames in IRC is - I just don't even know where to start

i was under the impression that it was designed so that you could be authed as username and then choose different nicks per channel

but uh, it hasn't been like that for over a decade

gRegor`
You can have multiple nicks associated with your nickserv username, though

Hehe. I wouldn't call it whining. :) But you're right, his post did come after you'd raised the DDoS concerns.

aaronpk_
I still maintain that separation of spam prevention and the actual webmention protocol is what has led to us making this much progress so far

aaronpk, agreed, and hence why vouch is an extension

#
dlyke
Yeah, for all my reticence on this, I like the "build something broken so we have something to fix" approach.

I'm just concerned that, like the previous attempts, we'll abandon it rather than fix it.
#
tantek
!tell KartikPrabhu re: "looks like microformats are moving towards qualifiers for properties" - nope, no such general rule or pattern AFAIK. All one-by-one based on documented use-cases.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
aaronpk_
dlyke: I think we've demonstrated enough value that the chance of abandoning it is small
#
tantek
dlyke - "we'll abandon it rather than fix it." - I think that's not a reasonable comparison, because I've already proposed (brainstormed) "vouch" whereas no such effort occured in previous attempts (Pingback etc.)
#
aaronpk_
as opposed to the relative value of displaying pingbacks, which was low because there was very little innovation or even attempt at such
#
tantek
Pingback was never evolved
#
tantek
Pingback display value was *negative* it added *noise* to a page.
#
aaronpk_
good point, it actually detracted from the page
#
dlyke
I think the value in RSVPs is what could give it enough legs to succeed... Speaking of which, I both need to expose it in more than metadata on Flutterby.com, and implement the outbound version on Flutterby.net

A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another post. The act of reposting is an umbrella term that covers the general practice of republishing another post typically on the same service or silo, but more and more across sites http://indiewebcamp.com/reblog

as long as there is a single writer queue, and I use git as a transaction mechanism, risk of losing data is low right?
#

quick, anyone know if any of the responses to https://twitter.com/inessential/status/517871223007870977 were actually posted by people on their own sites using the tool they recommend? or are all they tweeting but not doing?

tantek
seriously - ALL of the replies are people suggesting tools that they themselves did not use to post those replies.
#
aaronpk_
not to mention most of the replies don't actually take into consideration the requirements he lays out
#
aaronpk_
most people just replied with their favorite new tool they heard about
#
tantek
rather, all the replies with specific tool suggestion(s) - were not made with those specific tool(s). selfdogfoodfail
#
tantek
is that worth pointing out? I'm leaning no.
#
aaronpk_
this is an example of when it would be useful to have permashortlinks on tweets
#
tantek
aaronpk, most people just replied *talking about* their favorite new tool they heard about, not "with" as in "using" ;)
#
aaronpk_
er right, I meant "with" as in "talking"
#
tantek
hence why I disambiguated :)
#
tantek
even KevinMarks's reply (where he didn't recommend a specific tool at least) is a sharecropped tweet, instead of being sent from known.kevinmarks.com (yes I checked) https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/517873716894904320
#
dlyke
tantek, I never bothered to put reply into my Facebook/Twitter interface because it's more crap to do for something that has relatively low value. If I write something large enough to warrant saving, copy and paste to put it into Facebook is totally reasonable.
#
dlyke
Similarly, if I get a good reply, I'll copy it out, but I really don't need every bit of attaboys archived for eternity.
#
dlyke
All of which is a "I don't find it surprising that nobody's doing that, because social media management (vs one way posting) seems like a different problem"
#
dlyke
Maybe that's where I'm seeing it wrong, but I got sick of "whoops, we're gonna deprecate RSS now" and figured that keeping up with the changing APIs there is a no-win game.
#
tantek
dlyke I'm split between Twitter and FB. On Twitter, all my replies originate at tantek.com and have permalinks I own. Just that restructuring of user flow has made me much more thoughtful (and picky) about my replies.
#
dlyke
(And also noticing: Not only did I not "/nick danlyke" on my work machine, none of my replies here are coming from a tool I own...)
#
tantek
whereas on FB, nearly all my replies are made on non-public posts, which a) I haven't figure out how to do that from my own site (Falcon doesn't do any non-public posts), and b) I don't think Bridgy Publish supports POSSEing replies to non-public FB posts.
#
aaronpk_
just realized now that this channel has a web interface for chatting, it's not out of the realm of possibility of POSSEing IRC messages from my site to here
#
gRegor`
Hah
#
tantek
aaronpk yes! now if only one of our posting UIs was as seamless, quick, and responsive as *any* IRC client.
#
aaronpk_
the #indiewebcamp web interface is close!
#
tantek
why is the irc/today?beta#bottom web interface better than the posting UI of any of our own sites? how do you explain that? ;)
j12t joined the channel
#
aaronpk_
the requirements are lower? (plain text only?)
#
tantek
in fact, more than that!
#
danlyke
Yeah, when I first set up Flutterby.net, I used Emacs and files stored in a git repo, because Emacs has wiki mode... Eventually I cobbled together web UI, which is awful and kludgey. Now I primarily use the web UI. ugh.
#
tantek
irc/today?beta#bottom is an *integrated* reading/publishing UI!
#
tantek
and NONE of us do that at all!
#
tantek
so that's a reasonable challenge - who will be the first to have an integrated reading/publishing UI - at least for notes/replies - *as good as* and *as simple as* /irc/today?beta#bottom ?
#
aaronpk_
I bet it's not going to be me
#
tantek
particularly ironic for you aaronpk since you built it!
#
cuibonobo
but i don't think there are many indieweb readers at the moment
#
tantek
cuibonobo: why phrase it as a negative?
#
tantek
how many indieweb readers are there?
#
tantek
running on how many indieweb sites?

Huh. "indieweb readers" as a software tool. Is there a tool for that yet that'll replace my What does that mean aside from RSS aggregator?
#
cuibonobo
ok. my point was, an integrated reply UI makes the most sense on a reader
#
danlyke
s/What does that mean side from//
#
aaronpk_
do you think of twitter.com or facebook.com as a reader?
#
emmak
i've been using an integrated reader on my site
#

what is a reader?
#
Loqi
A reader (or indie reader) in the context of the indieweb is the portion/feature integrated into an indieweb site that provides a way to read content from other indieweb sites, possibly including posts from the current site as well http://indiewebcamp.com/reader
#
cuibonobo
in the context of facebook and twitter, your 'site' is your profile page, while the feed is your reader
#
emmak
no screenshots but you can see the actual feed
#
danlyke
Well, the big challenge with Facebook and Twitter is blocking people for particular subject matter. Not so much of a problem on blogs, not so many sports fans there, but why doesn't the reader tool put together the participants in the conversation?
#
danlyke
Kind of the way Twitter does for @replies.
#
emmak
when logged in, it shows reply/like/repost buttons under the posts
#
tantek
danlyke - plenty of indieweb sites with their own readers: http://indiewebcamp.com/reader#IndieWeb_examples
#
tantek
cuibonobo - I didn't say integrated *reply* UI - that's far too limiting
#
tantek
I said integrated reading/publishing UI - quite deliberately.

Huh. Have to see if any of those'll lure me away from RSSyl.
#
tantek
danlyke - the other one to check out in particular is shrewdness
#
tantek
it's kind of amazing
#
tantek
what is shrewdness?
#
Loqi
Shrewdness is a micropub-enabled reader web app, currently being developed by Barnaby Walters http://indiewebcamp.com/Shrewdness
#
danlyke
tantek huh, that looks interesting enough to git clone and try to install... I've been looking for an RSS reader to hack on...
#
bret
you can use barnaby's install to test it out
#
tantek
danlyke - every time he's demo'd it it has been mind blowing. and he just keeps cranking out amazing features.
#
tantek
it's basically a kickbutt indieweb tweet-deck like reading UI. pretty much blows away all the old crappy email-program-UI like feed readers out there.
#
tantek
*plus* has the ability to inline reply if your site supports micropub

aaronpk_
ha there's a little "MP" badge next to my URL in the top right, presumably because my site supports micropub!

danlyke: be warned that Shrewdness doesn’t do RSS/Atom (without http://feed.unmung.com/ at least)
#
tantek
who is around SF next week? kylewm? danlyke? iboxifoo? looking for a host for HWC 2014-10-08!
#
tantek
kylewm - I'm expecting that barnabywalters will make that seamless pretty soon - that is, if you enter a site without any h-feed / h-entry markup, it can try doing feed file discovery and then sending that through unmung
#
tantek
but I believe you are correct - currently, subscribing to legacy RSS/Atom requires an extra step of going to feed.unmung.com
#
danlyke
tantek, I'm out on the 8th (going to an event at Chimera in Sebastopol)
#
kylewm
tantek: I will be in town but I don’t really have any way to host people
#
tantek
kylewm - can always do it Chicago style - pick a coffee shop / cafe where you think you can grab a table for a few folks.
#
tantek
but wow on everyone being out of town from SF or otherwise busy/pre-occupied!
#
ben_thatmust
there we go, swapped it around
#
tantek
might be the first time we've had no-one to host HWC SF since the start!
#
ben_thatmust
but i realized its not possible to know article or note based on the markup is it?
#
tantek
it's possible in some instances
#
tantek
in typical instances even
#
tantek
has title/heading? -> article
#
kylewm
could definitely do Chicago style, deepdish HWC
#
tantek
that's a good 99% use-cases trick

ello umnunger now supports image posts too - is the markup right? http://feed.unmung.com/ello?ello=rstevens

heck, if unmung didn't exist, we could have feature-requested "Bridgy Feed" as a counterpart to "Bridgy Publish"

clearly from the implications in that comic, we should consider the use-cases of a) explicitly notifying someone that you're following them (their site), and thus b) figuring out how to send a webmention to a homepage of someone you're following, with the source being some sort of "hey I'm following you" type post.
#
tantek
gRegor`: yes, document == Downtime == - with screenshots
#
tantek
and perhaps even == Plumbing == with apparently Heroku
#
tantek
people presumably like being notified that their profile/site/posts are being followed / read?
#
KevinMarks__
Scoble said they were running on a single postgres instance and maxed it out
#
KevinMarks__
up to a point, tantek
#
tantek
and people presumably are ok with a silo sending such notifications on their behalf when they do follow someone
#
tantek
where to document this - perhaps /follow ?
#
tantek
KevinMarks - could you expand upon "up to a point"? details? citation? or is it a celebrity scaling problem kind of thing?
#
gRegor`
screencaps and wikis
#
@freebsdgirl
Once again, not checking notifications. Using web, not client. Too many notifications. Will check later.

#

KevinMarks - you're talking about being over-notified *in general* - which I agree is a problem.
#

I gave a very specific use-case
#

which I worded somewhat ambiguously I now see

good tweet cite of too many notifications though
