@nevesytrof
I get why an Edit function is bad, but how about something that automatically delays my tweets 15 seconds or so, so I can realize my mistake
(twitter.com/_/status/700468857329229824)
#
snarfed
like gmail's undo send
#
cleverdevil
could even be a "delayed syndication" feature in Known.
#
cleverdevil
now that Known supports post-publish syndication, I always use it.
#
cleverdevil
so, I basically get this already :P
#
cleverdevil
post to my site first, after some thought, I can syndicate to Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/whatever.
#
KevinMarks
hm, how does that show up? not seen that in my hosted known
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
cleverdevil
so, basically, you just post something
#
cleverdevil
and then click on "edit"
#
cleverdevil
and you can toggle on the syndications from there

[indieweb] "@nevesytrof that's an interesting idea that would work with an #indieweb site - deferred POSSE" by Kevin Marks http://known.kevinmarks.com/2016/nevesytrof-thats-an-interesting-idea-that-would-work-with-an
#
KevinMarks
cleverdevil: I don't get the syndication chiclets when editing
#
cleverdevil
let me double check what it looks like for me...
#
cleverdevil
maybe hosted Known hasn't been updated yet?
#
cleverdevil
I am self-hosted, and it works.
#
aaronpk
so I have decided to do a slow complete blood transfusion of webmention.io
#
aaronpk
it is currently my fastest growing database on that server, and I don't want that because it is only ever going to get larger
#
aaronpk
I think Amazon's NoSQL database is going to be the thing I use instead, since it's a totally abstracted data store, there's no concept of a server behind it
#
tantek
interesting
#
aaronpk
their relational DB service still essentially runs on a server, you just don't manage that server. however it's still subject to getting rebooted with downtime for maintenance.
#
cleverdevil
one of these days, I am going to have to start a #IndieInfra movement ;)
#
cleverdevil
AWS is a silo of silos
#
cleverdevil
(a pretty damn amazing one, though)
#
aaronpk
AWS is an interesting one
#
cleverdevil
I admit, I have a significant bias here ;)
#
aaronpk
reviews dreamhost's "cloud" offerings
#
cleverdevil
but, man, I've been really careful lately due to things like Parse getting snapped up and then shut down
#
aaronpk
what's really interesting is that Amazon S3 is so popular that other companies have created services that use the same API so you can swap out for them
#
aaronpk
that's one way to make a standard
#
cleverdevil
basically, a defacto standard.
#
cleverdevil
very imperfect, but very widespread.
#
aaronpk
dreamhost doesn't have anything equivalent to DynamoDB apparently
#
cleverdevil
no, not at the moment.
elima_ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
DynamoDB is actually a pretty good candidate for this, since it means I am not concerned with physical servers, but I can also query on a few different attributes
#
cleverdevil
absolutely.
#
tantek
what is DynamoDB?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "DynamoDB" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10EP
#
cleverdevil
hoping for some open source, self-hosted things to fill the gap.
#
cleverdevil
Redis is a pretty good candidate.
#
aaronpk
DynamoDB is a key/value database service provided by Amazon Web Services. https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/
#
loqi.me
created /DynamoDB (+133) "prompted by tantek https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-02-18/line/1455843044626 and dfn added by aaronpk"
(view diff)
#
snarfed
and many others!
#
cleverdevil
huh... there are a few open source implementations of dynamo.
#
snarfed
but dynamo is great, no qualms
#
aaronpk
I don't trust Redis to persist data for extended periods of time though
#
aaronpk
also Amazon's Redis server is also just a wrapper around running an EC2 instance with Redis on it
#
cleverdevil
Voldemort, Dynomite, and KAI.
#
snarfed
agreed, redis is great for many things, but not durability
#
aaronpk
wow I think I would not fall under the free tier of google's
#
aaronpk
50,000 read and write operations per day is only about 1 every 2 seconds
#
snarfed
but then just $.06/100k
#
snarfed
price can be sensitive, sure, but for many of us, if the difference is something like e.g. $2/mo vs $4/mo, other factors should probably override :P
#
cleverdevil
this is for webmention.io?
#
tantek
ok I think there's been enough criticism of "reading time" to document it
#
aaronpk
there are a lot of things about the current implementation of webmention.io that I don't like, and I want to fix them
#
tantek
!tell benwerd what drove the design of indicating "reading time" on Known articles?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
webmention.io is mostly write append, right? you don't go back and update things much?
#
aaronpk
it does handle updating the comment later if a webmention is re-sent
#
aaronpk
but the vast majority is write-only, so definitely can optimize for writes
#
cleverdevil
gotta be a minimal portion of the traffic, though, I am guessing.
#
cleverdevil
makes sense.
#
aaronpk
just can't ignore updates
#
tantek
what is reading time?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "reading time" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10EQ
#
KevinMarks
wondering a bigtable/hbase model might fit?
#
tantek
reading time is a feature of posts (usually articles) that indicates the expected amount of time (typically in minutes) that it would take to read the post.
#
loqi.me

#
aaronpk
anybody familiar with Amazon DynamoDB and Lambda who wants to help me refactor webmention.io?
#
snarfed
that sounds like a fun project!
#
snarfed
...with a big messy less fun migration
#
aaronpk
I hope it is a series of fun small projects, with many small migrations
#
snarfed
i was thinking the data migration
#
aaronpk
yeah, i'm wondering if I can do some sort of hybrid approach
#

#
tantek
does anyone else indicate /reading_time on their articles or other posts?
#
KevinMarks
medium des if you want a silo example
#
KevinMarks
what would be good if Kindle gave you actual data on your reading speed
#
aaronpk
the first time I saw a "reading time" on an article, I assumed the site was doing something clever like logging how long people interact with the page and showing the average of that

#
mathpunk
my idea for my landing page is to make an image map out of this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7v334qQv-cnY0ktS0JURDFVQ1U/view?usp=sharing
#
mathpunk
But it's probably too large an image, right? What should I scale it down to? Is jpg the right format?
#
snarfed
KevinMarks: kindle does do that (now)
#
aaronpk
mathpunk: that'll be tiny as a gif or png. you can do it as three separate images too.
#
KevinMarks
how do I get the data?
#
KevinMarks
mathpunk: you could recreate it as an svg
#
mathpunk
ah, I'm guessing those compress, and since it's mostly white, it'll be ok
#
snarfed
KevinMarks: all i know is, mine (oldish e-ink) says "X min left in chapter" at the bottom, and it's based on my personal reading
#
mathpunk
KevinMarks: I know not the way of SVG. I drew that on a Bamboo Spark, which is my new favorite thing
#
aaronpk
ooh i have one of those too, it's great
#
aaronpk
i *think* there's a way to export as SVG, since it does actually store the stroke data
#
mathpunk
am I going to have to annotate the html so that it knows that it's supposed to fit to height? I went as far as to make a wide version for desktop but, that sounds like I have to somehow ask what rectangle it's being viewed on
#
tantek
KevinMarks: yes I added Medium as a silo example but no screenshots or URLs
#
tantek
could use some of that
#
tantek
especially if you know *when* they started to show estimated reading time
#
tantek
or have any other indieweb or silo examples to add
#
KevinMarks
you can turn pdf into svg
#
KevinMarks
inkscape does it
#
aaronpk
depends on what's in the pdf
#
aaronpk
tho svg can contain bitmap just as well as pdf can so sure :)
#
KevinMarks
well, I'm assuming the bamboo ones will have the strokes in
#
KartikPrabhu
why image map?
#
aaronpk
let's find out
#
gRegorLove
What is image map?
#
KevinMarks
if it's SVG you can make it natively clickable
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "image map" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10ER
#
aaronpk
nice, it's totally a vector pdf
#
mathpunk
maybe I don't mean image map? i just mean, the point of this site is to display my drawings and then talk about them
#
mathpunk
so it makes sense to me to have the landing be a drawing
#
mathpunk
and i kinda like my lettering
#
KartikPrabhu
mathpunk: no I think you mean image map
#
aaronpk
mathpunk: do you have illustrator?
#
mathpunk
i have gimp!
#
KartikPrabhu
inkscape should also work
#
mathpunk
I... know how to open it! **peers at tutorials**
#
mathpunk
ah that too, I can get that
#
KevinMarks
inkscape will open pdf and save as svg
#
aaronpk
you should be able to load the PDF from the Bamboo and then save as SVG
#
KevinMarks
do you have that as a pdf?
#
mathpunk
ok, cool
#
KartikPrabhu
beware inkscape might not optimise the svg
#
mathpunk
whoooah that means that I could animate it when I get l33t, huh?
#
mathpunk
KevinMarks: One of the sharing options is pdf
#
KartikPrabhu
also older browsers might not display SVgs
#
KevinMarks
terribly old browsers
#
KartikPrabhu
also having your navigation be images means it doesn't work unless images load
#
KevinMarks
not if the images are SVG
#
KevinMarks
'cos you can inline them
#
KartikPrabhu
oh inline-SVG seems to be well supported too
#
mathpunk
ok, I've pdf'd the image and I've installed inkscape
#
mathpunk
I'll look around for tutorials 'less anyone has a suggestion
#
aaronpk
should just be a matter of open, then save as svg
#
mathpunk
aaronpk: then edit the svg file in a text editor to add some kind of clicky-regions?
#
KevinMarks
you may want to do the 'resize docuement' thing to crop ti too
#
aaronpk
you can still image map an SVG if you want
#
aaronpk
but i would probably export it as three different images
#
KartikPrabhu
mathpunk: I would suggest saving each nav item as a separate SVG then link each using HTML <a> tags
#
mathpunk
oh, ok -- segment the image at approximately the arrows
#
KartikPrabhu
that way if you ever want to add a fourth one you don't need to draw all of them again ;)
#
mathpunk
in my mind there'd be a non-zero border and it would split up the image, but there's no reason for that to be the case
#
KartikPrabhu
borders can be adjusted in CSS

Naw,just a static site with comments
#
miklb
that seems to be how he's adding comments. I know a lot of Jekyll users just use Disqus, but I'd like to avoid that. I've seen a solution that uses Firebase, which is better because you can pull the comments back down as JSON for archiving, or possibly caching them.
#

miklb: voxpelli uses js to pull in comments
#
miklb
so in indieweb circles, webmentions == comments?
#
mblaney
not really
#
mblaney
miklb what are you trying to do?
#
miklb
I'm already accepting webmentions, but was curious if there were any ways from someone to leave a comment directly on the site. I recently switched to Jekyll from a db/php driven site.
#
miklb
Without using Disqus.
#
sknebel
there are some selfhosted comment-things you could put on e.g. a free openshift instance
#
miklb
sknebel: yes, one I'm looking at is using Firebase to store the data.
#
sknebel
basically tries to be disqus, but self-hosted
#
sknebel
also an idea if you are fine with JS
#
sknebel
One also could make a simple comment-post thingy and then have it send yourself webmentions
#
miklb
thanks all. Not a huge part of my redesign, just looking at options. Might just look at option of including the tweet reply/webmention form like voxpelli is using.
#
miklb
mblaney: yes, I've looked at that. I'm using webmention.io and something similar already for displaying webmentions (as well as sending them when I build the site and deploy)

I'm starting to scope out this service I need, would appreciate any feedback: https://github.com/aaronpk/Percolator
#
tantek
what is Percolator?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Percolator" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10ET
#
aaronpk
this should let me start posting the full contents of reposts, and is also the beginning of gutting webmention.io
#
tantek
is it returning jf2?
#
aaronpk
more or less
#

hoping to use this to help drive jf2 definition as well
#
tantek
is x-ray too modern?
#
aaronpk
ooh that's good too

I mean, return structured data, you're essentially highlighting the skeleton of the page ;)
#
tantek
the machine has a name, one sec

aaronpk
"German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen is usually credited as the discoverer of X-rays in 1895" ...
#
aaronpk
pretty close
#
tantek
radiograph
#
tantek
that sounds "in period"
#
aaronpk
i kinda like just "x-ray"
#
aaronpk
a little worried about the potential overlap of audio things with the term "radio"
#
aaronpk
also x-ray works as a verb, and is pretty obvious what it's going to do
#
tantek
so does tomograph (as a verb), just as "photograph" is a verb
#
kylewm
aaronpk: will it shim Instagram, Twitter, etc?
#
aaronpk
kylewm: yeah that too
#
aaronpk
i'm debating whether i should scrape the HTML from instagram/twitter or use their APIs, which might mean i'd need to do user auth to avoid rate limits
#
tantek
especially if you're shimming, that relates to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomograph#Types_of_tomography
#
kylewm
How about OGP if none of the above?
#
tantek
How about semantic HTML fallbacks that FB uses *instead of* OGP if none of the above?
#
aaronpk
fallbacks will be OEmbed and OGP
#
kylewm
API with credentials would give you access to private posts
#
aaronpk
interesting point, i wonder if that's good
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
You can use the mf markup twitter has
#
tantek
a lot of OGP *on other silos* is polluted with ads for those silos
#
aaronpk
oh that's hilarious. there are facebook OGP tags on twitter permalinks
#
[kevinmarks]
Yes, the ogp data is often crap
#
tantek
right, twitter itself does not use their own twitter card markup
#
aaronpk
wow and twitter supports oembed too
#
aaronpk
the content of their oembed response isn't very useful tho
#
[kevinmarks]
The embedded tweets have mf markup, but you can't get at it easily
#
tantek
KevinMarks: I thought there was an endpoint that Twitter's JS uses to get the embedded tweet content - to display on other sites that add Twitter's embed markup
#
[kevinmarks]
Ah, maybe. Not sure it's documented
#
aaronpk
jeez the embed dialog pops up over the new twitter modals and it looks horrible
#
gRegorLove
Modals on top of modals, all the way down
#
[kevinmarks]
Also they use the u- utility convention so you get spurious properties
#
tantek
who uses u utility?
#
tantek
you only get those IF they're inside an h-* root class
#
tantek
KevinMarks: there's no examples of actual pages returning spurious u utility properties - if you think there are, please share a parsed result URL

#
gRegorLove
Cool, thanks! Was looking for an example of the optional-slug design. I might be using that with a client blog.
#
tantek
gRegorLove: can you change their u-* classes to util-* and submit a pull request to see what happens?
#
gRegorLove
tantek: I *might* feel comfortable posting a github issue requesting if such an update is cool. I'd be surprised if they said yes, though, since it would break backwards compatibility.
#
gRegorLove
More likely, I'll just update my usage locally. It's small and there's only a couple utility classes
#
tantek
it's good either way. if they say no (reject the issue) then it's justification to fork it
#
tantek
and the publish the util-* alternative with reasoning why it is better than u-* for utility class names, and encourage people to switch to it
#

True, though I won't be maintaining such a fork :)

so that's an opportunity for you gRegorLove ! you can take it over and fix the problem !
#
gRegorLove
I guess I don't understand your use of the word "forking" here.
#
gRegorLove
It's been on my site since July. I have my own custom CSS additions. Since it's easy for me to update my copy of it, I will probably change u-* to util-*, but I'm not releasing it publicly.
#
tantek
forking is when you deliberately choose to take an open source project a different direction than the current "maintainers/deciders" of the project want
#
gRegorLove
There's already two forks
#
gRegorLove
As mentioned already, I have no desire to maintain this project publicly.
#
tantek
at least file the u- vs util- issue, with a recommended work around for anyone who happens to find the open source project
#
tantek
maybe someone else will come along and fix it later
#
KevinMarks
so who wants to fork suitcss?
#
tantek
KevinMarks is that what you're using?
#
[shaners]
in git land, forking is no longer such a definitive split in a project like it used to be. forking is part of the workflow.
#
KevinMarks
no, it's the most egregious example of u- spuriosity
funwhilelost joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, I generally understand "forking". Just didn't necessarily consider me putting a CSS boilerplate on my own site and then adding my custom CSS to it "forking"
#
gRegorLove
I always though there was some public/distribution part to "forking"
#
tantek
yes, there's a public aspect to forking, which reflects why the cultural change that shaners mentioned has happened
#
tantek
you publicly "fork" a repo in order to suggest changes to it, thus publicly forking is no longer considered always a negative

I almost used it for a project, glad I didn't

really wondering what the appeal of these frameworks are
#
tantek
like what itch are they scratching? what use-case(s)?
#
miklb
tantek: that's an interesting perspective. I alyways thought ”clone“ and issue pull request for making suggestions, fork for taking project in different direction.
#
gRegorLove
I've used it a few times and generally like it. It doesn't do nested rows great, but for simple grid-based sites it's been fine.
#
aaronpk
i'm using http://semantic-ui.com on aaronparecki.com now

KevinMarks
the 'I can't be arsed to write css by hand' itch
#
aaronpk
I mostly like all the little components and things that these come with, saves me from making buttons look like buttons every damn time

I used skeleton on an earlier iteration of my site's theme. thought it was quite nice. small enough to all fit in my head

gRegorLove
Can definitely be helpful for people who don't know how to design well
#
aaronpk
or don't want to
#
gRegorLove
/ don't want to worry about typography, responsive, etc.
#
tantek
aaronpk: you mean <a href> buttons? or <button> buttons?
#
aaronpk
all of the above
#
aaronpk
most of the time, i'm making things where the goal is not to have the best design or even a unique design, but I want it to look reasonably good
#
aaronpk
so these things let me forget about css and spend time on the problem i'm actually solving
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, makes a nice base design.
#
tantek
interesting, so you don't care if the design looks "generic"?
#
aaronpk
most of the time no
#
tantek
I mean like now the problem where so many sites look "bootstrappy" ?
#
tantek
so they all kinda awkwardly look the same?
#
aaronpk
now if i were a web design firm selling my design services, that's a different story
#
KevinMarks
in effect, they are an implict condemnation of browser default stylesheets
#
aaronpk
looking "bootstrappy" is better than looking like default browser styles so i dont really mind
#
tantek
got it
#
KevinMarks
if you don't use one of these, and let the html defaults operate, you look non-standard
#

What is Bootstrap?

#
gRegorLove
Tufte CSS looks nice. I'll have to check it out.
#
tantek
ok KevinMarks, gRegorLove, aaronpk - captured your use-cases for better default styling CSS (not really a "framework" per se, since you're not writing "stylesheets" in it *instead of* CSS)
#
tantek
most of what you said as itches I was already doing for my foundational stylesheet "elementica.css" but your specific requests will help guide future iterations
#
tantek
KevinMarks: the Tufte stylesheet is a bit more stylistically opinionated - so unless you can show me someone using it in the wild on their own personal site, I'll take it as a datapoint, but not foundational
#
gRegorLove
tantek: Oh, don't think I mentioned. My primary reason for using Skeleton on my own site was to add a responsive grid without all the bloat of using Bootstrap. All the typography and other design I had pretty much to my liking.
#
KevinMarks
I may adopt it as it is close to the style I already have, but typographically clearer

cjk101010: the "is" definition trick only works once per term - then you have to edit the page normally to update it :)

KevinMarks meant to say: hm, randall monroe on silo throttling rather than quitting? http://xkcd.com/862/
#
tantek
more than silos though - that's more like distraction throttling
#

including news sites

aaronpk: hmm - in https://indiewebcamp.com/this-week/2016-02-19.html - ids for headings? e.g. "Posts from IndieNews"
#
tantek
also why is the heading for my post "tantek.com" did I do something wrong?
#
aaronpk
checking
#
aaronpk
ah it's a bug with my long-name detection
#
tantek
hmm http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=http://tantek.com/2016/048/b1/going-silo-private-prefer-indieweb has the p-name correct for the h-entry, and it's not in my "content" as a string so ... ?

fixed Kindle but too late
#
aaronpk
it's almost like it should generate a draft and post a link here ahead of time
#
tantek
aaronpk: would it be useful to have some way to see which new pages had empty dfns

crontab doesn't work well with timezones
#
tantek
what is crontab?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "crontab" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10Eg
#
aaronpk
i can't make a cron job that runs at 1:50pm pacific time
#
aaronpk
i can make a job that runs at 1:50 pacific *daylight* time and pacific *standard* time, but it will move around depending on DST
#
aaronpk
mailchimp is set to send at 2pm pacific time, so I'm assuming it will change that to -0700 a couple weeks from now
#
tantek
timezones--
#
Loqi
timezones has -8 karma
#
tantek
aaronpk: ^^^ you can change that to -7 in a couple of weeks too
#
aaronpk
i have to pre-generate the RSS feed that mailchimp pulls from, so i have to have the cron job make it twice
#
aaronpk
in standard time, it generates it once 1.5 hrs before and again .5 hrs before, and in DST it generates it .5 hr before and .5 after

Most timezone libraries support locales with daylight savings automatically (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles" goes back and forth between PDT and PST when appropriate).
#
aaronpk
yeah cron doesn't do that :P
#
aaronpk
ok new plan, i'm just going to have to remember to change the cron schedule on March 14
#
funwhilelost
cron on what OS?
#
aaronpk
ubuntu
#
funwhilelost
CRON_TZ=America/New_York
#
funwhilelost
Or similar should work
#
KevinMarks
set another cron to changw the first cron
#
aaronpk
can I do that for only one cron job?
#
funwhilelost
You could set it up under another user.
#
aaronpk
too complicated

Just generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out. http://indiewebcamp.com/this-week/2016-02-19.html

neat!
#
tantek
for new pages, would a featured photo make sense? or icon?
#
aaronpk
pretty sure most of the new pages don't have a photo, but i could add it if it's there
#
tantek
none of them do, just checked :/

@aaronpk I have a cronjob to email me a week before DST change to prepare for the time change mess it always causes
#

anyone here use /Timehop and/or Facebook's "On This Day" feature?
#
KevinMarks
I used to use timehop

google photos on this day is better than fb's for me

huh, I wonder if my day permalinks should show the posts in chronological order instead of reverse chronological
#
KevinMarks
you could make an onthisday h-feed to subscribe to
#
tantek
hmm not a very eventful day for me today apparently
#
tantek
50th day of the year
#
tantek
aaronpk: I'm thinking of "on this day" as just another archive navigation axis
#
tantek
both past and *future* (e.g. when viewing past posts)
#
tantek
would also work to show future planned/RSVPd events that haven't happened yet

Got my first twii email. Looks good!
#
kylewm
writing html email is a fun exercise in 1990s era html
#
kylewm
(so i'm impressed it looks so good)
#
aaronpk
i let mailchimp do most of the work
#
aaronpk
they pull the really basic HTML from the RSS feed
