I really have to find a HWC contingent

You guys always sound like you are having a blast
#
aaronpk
last night was fun! still need to write up my notes

I think the closest regular in here is bear
#
KevinMarks_
I think I missed some good stuff
#
GWG
KevinMarks_: Such as?
#

aaronpk: also you make us look green

the kindle notes to pages tool sounds good

#
GWG
snarfed: +1 on the User-Agent idea
#
snarfed
GWG: hmm i'm not sure i am yet. i'd really like to know what part of her config is blocking first, since the vast majority of other WP sites don't have this problem
#
GWG
It might solve the problems with people filtering generic python user agents.
#
GWG
Also, great for log analysis
#
snarfed
not really convinced, but we can see. followups in the issue

GWG
snarfed: How about a Bridgy user agent as an advertisement for Bridgy?
#
GWG
A poor one, but....people will ask..."What's Bridgy?"
#
kylewm
can anybody tell me why my CSS looks like this on desktop https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38780898/woodwind-on-desktop.png but this on mobile https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38780898/woodwind-mobile.png for supposedly the same resolution?

#
KevinMarks_
different assumed dpi?
#
kylewm
ah ok that sounds promising
#
kylewm
well that's strange, i get 221ppi in the default android browser, and 110 in firefox
#
kylewm
firefox for android that is

gRegor`
kylewm: small bug. Got an internal server error when I tried to subscribe to "gregorlove.com/notes" Worked fine when I added the http
#
kylewm
oh thanks, I got bit by that one too
#
gRegor`
Looking at your screenshots, is the difference in the like button styling what you're asking about?
wolftune joined the channel
#
gRegor`
And the avatar outside the content box, I'm guessing?
#
GWG
snarfed: Is it? I haven't looked in ages
#
GWG
will check his logs
#
kylewm
gRegor`: yes, mainly how the buttons and text are overrunning their boxes
#
kylewm
but i also don't understand why my media query isn't kicking in for the avatars
#
gRegor`
Hm. So the first screenshot is how you expect it to look on Firefox mobile, correct?
#
kylewm
exactly
#
kylewm
should be the same resolution, though different dpi
#
kylewm
(my feed is all benwerd all the time)
#
gRegor`
That should be the name of his podcast.
#
GWG
You need more people in your feed then
#
benwerd
kylewm: eek, sorry about that.
#

benwerd
and sorry about *that*.

gRegor`
Hm, odd. in Chrome dev tools the mimic mobile at 720 resolution also shows the avatars outside...
#
kylewm
benwerd: it's not even remotely your fault. keep posting lots, please
#
gRegor`
But in Chrome itself if I resize it down, it works.
#
gRegor`
Something with the viewport scale?
#
GWG
benwerd: You have a podcast?
#
benwerd
GWG: for a while I was trying to post a new audio post every Sunday. I've fallen behind lately but want to pick it up again.
#
kylewm
gRegor`: what means viewport scale?
#
gRegor`
kylewm: Try adding <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
#
gRegor`
Desktop browsers don't take the viewport value into account, but mobile ones do.
#
GWG
benwerd: On life in general?
#
kylewm
magic incantation worked!
#
benwerd
GWG: sort of, but through the lens of the web

gregornobacktick++ thanks!

#
gRegor`
woot!
#
Loqi
giggles
#
gRegor`
I forget the reasoning/history behind it, but mobile browsers default viewport width is usually wrong. I think it's to mimic a desktop or something, or squeeze all the content in.
#
gRegor`
So setting it to width=device-width makes it work, and makes content not so teeny-tiny on non-responsive sites.
#
kylewm
it's funny, I have that meta tag in kylewm.com, along with
#
kylewm
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
#
kylewm
which was supposed to be my bare minimum, from scratch attempt at writing html
#
gRegor`
I have an .htaccess directive if you want to get rid of X-UA-Compatible in the HTML, heh
#
gRegor`
I found it after trying to strictly validate a client site
#
kylewm
gRegor`: you were able to log in to the reader though? did you subscribe to anything?
#
gRegor`
Yep! Myself. I'm so vain . . .
#
kylewm
I realize already that I screwed up and had Users to Feeds one to many, not many to many
#
gRegor`
I thought this reader was about me.
#
kylewm
it would've been awesome if i had done it correctly and you would have subbed to yourself and seen three days of history already!
#
gRegor`
This is the .htaccess method I've used for X-UA-Compat: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/dist/.htaccess#L125
#
gRegor`
Ooh, yeah that'd be cool.
#
kylewm
ah interesting
#
gRegor`
How frequently are you polling?
#
kylewm
1/hour
#
gRegor`
I'm subscribing to tylerfontaine.me and it gives me the option for "/rss (xml)" and "http://tylerfontaine.me (html)"
#
gRegor`
Doesn't have mf2 though. What's the latter option?
#
kylewm
boo...
#
kylewm
it all needs some work still
#
gRegor`
internal server error when I selected RSS
#
kylewm
yeah it should have been tylerfontaine.me/rss
#
gRegor`
Sorry to kick the tires when it's so early :)
#
kylewm
I was asking for it!
#
kylewm
you also cannot enter an XML feed directly yet :(
#
kylewm
is filing issues
#
gRegor`
So are you planning to keep this open for others?

are you h-feed primarily?

My subscription vanished. I'm outraged by this silo! I'm gonna host my own reader.
#
kylewm
oh no!
#
kylewm
I thought you would not notice
#
kylewm
I tried to move you to my feed
#
gRegor`
I figured
#
gRegor`
Ohh
#
kylewm
KevinMarks_: I should use unmung! right now I am calling feedparser directly, but tha towuld be nicer
#
KevinMarks_
feedparser is pretty good at normalizing feeds
#
KevinMarks_
also html sanitizing
#
KevinMarks_
If you're going to poll it i'll add 304 handling and caching (yay state)
#
KevinMarks_
which feedparser does, you just need to give it the info
#
kylewm
yah, that is a big TODO
#
kylewm
oh sorry, i read that as "you'll need to add"
#
kylewm
(which I still do)
#
KevinMarks_
you should use input type=url on your feed url
#
KevinMarks_
yes, you'll need to add it too, eventually
#
kylewm
whoa, I did not know about type=url
#
kylewm
I'm pleasantly surprised you two were able to log in without micropub support, it just worked?
#
KevinMarks_
it gave an error, but was logged in when I reloaded
#
kylewm
ha ok that is more what i would expect...
#
KevinMarks_
it doesn't liek the dates on kevinmarks.com
#
KevinMarks_
'cos I don't post times maybe?
#
kylewm
didn't find your author u-photo either...
#
KevinMarks_
my embedded svg worked
#
kylewm
KevinMarks_: it only didn't find dates on ~7 of your posts.. apparently doesn't handle year-month or just year
#
KevinMarks_
is the edge case
#
kylewm
KevinMarks_: I don't think your hcard can be found via /authorship
#
kylewm
it's looking for p-author h-card
#
kylewm
it is genuinely really fun having you guys alpha test this, even though I didn't expect it :P

Nice
#
KevinMarks_
looks like you're stripping my u-audio
#
KevinMarks_
ah, and i'm making crappy datetimes
#
kylewm
should I add <audio> and <video> to the bleach whitelist?
#
KevinMarks_
I think so
#
kylewm
I thinK I need to give up on parsing datetimes and just using python-dateuitl
#
kylewm
it parses your date times just fine
#
KevinMarks_
yes python date-util is ratehr excessive
#
KevinMarks_
'any kind of date at all? sure'
#
kylewm
that is a project scope i would not wish on my worst enemy

has anyone ever (wanted to) post(ed) a series of links as the way they got to something that they bookmarked?
#
aaronpk
like a breadcrumb trail?
caseorganic joined the channel
#
tantek
yeah, breadcrumb(s) is exactly the word I was thinking of
#
aaronpk
that's a better use of breadcrumb than in-site navigation!
#
tantek
indeed!
#
aaronpk
cool idea. i haven't don that, but the closest thing is when I tag a bookmark with the name of ther person who sent it to me
#
aaronpk
which is something I picked up from http://dreev.es
#
tantek
that's more attribution
#
tantek
Twitter has had "via" for that for a while
#
aaronpk
hm maybe. although my intent is not attribution, it's more for my own knowledge of where it came from
#
Pierre-O
KevinMarks: ok, I'll work on a translation and let you know :)
#
Loqi
Pierre-O: kylewm left you a message 3 weeks, 1 day ago: it looks like your indieauth is working now?

still very different than "I clicked this to get to that"

Pierre-O
Loqi message to kylewm yes, somehow it started to work, I think the issue was the https
#
Loqi
yeah!
#
aaronpk
yes. that's why i said i haven't posted a breadcrumb, but this was the only thing that was similar

they are merely simpler than what previously existed

not as simple as possible

#
reidab
aaronpk: it might be nice to include a bit in the intro of the post about what you're specifying instead of JSON, so that people don't have to go read the specs to find out that it's form-encoding
#
aaronpk
that isn't really the point of the article
#
tantek
reidab - most of the time we're using HTML+microformats instead of JSON
#
reidab
that's true
#
aaronpk
i don't want the article to be "form-encoding is awesome"
#
reidab
no, that's definitely not the point
#
tantek
it's more a debunking of JSON-zealotry
#
emmak
aaronpk: have a lot of people asked you to include JSON in the indieauth and micropub specs? i was a bit surprised when i read your article
#
aaronpk
mostly in micropub
#
reidab
I was thinking from the POV of a user trying to figure out where to draw the line between stable and unstable web technologies. Some things, like HTML attributes and the HTTP spec have a much different kind of staying power than XML or JSON.
#
reidab
but I see the argument for keeping it focused on puncturing the "JSON will solve everything" bubble
#
emmak
were there technical arguments in favor, or was it more along the lines of "JSON is a standard, we should use it"?
#
aaronpk
some of both
#
tantek
emmak more like cargo cult. everybody is using JSON, why aren't you?
#
aaronpk
there was some talk of how form-encoding is less efficient than JSON for nested data structures since you have to repeat key names all the time
#
tantek
lol said by someone who's actually profiled their entire user-flow. not.
#
tantek
same people that say "but that's so hard to parse. waaaaaaah"
#
tantek
who typically handwave UI/UX
#
tantek
which is the actual hard problem
#
aaronpk
i should be like "get rid of your google analytics tracking cookies and then we can talk"
#
tantek
oh I do that for them. NoScript FTW.
#
Loqi
it is probable
#
aaronpk
if you're tlaking about the difference of 100-200 bytes per request, you're adding a lot more than that with all the tracking cookies

WordPress page search is annoying. This template turns off the wp admin bar so I don't have a shortcut to the 'edit' link and can't easily find it via the search.
