yes aaronpk , it is just Twitter, the old Twitter
#

"two people texting with each other where the conversation is public" is how Twitter got started
#

Tantek: I haven't seen anything new but I thought there had been a proposal on the wiki for quite some time

yes - I mean in terms of incorporating into Webmention the spec so it would be in a WD that implementers could look at

Somewhat obsessed with notifications at the moment :-) wondering if there any indieweb interactions that don't involve notifications somewhere along the way.
#
snarfed
kbs: of course there are! notifications are entirely optional, right?
#
kylewm
hehe, kbs I lost notifications when I switched back to redwind last week. only see replies by checking kylewm.com/mentions
#
kbs
snarfed: true; though it strikes me it has the flavor of "if a tree falls in the forest and noone hears it..." :)
#
snarfed
kbs: hence manual checking
#
kbs
makes sense
benborges and kbs joined the channel
#
kbs
maybe notifications are also more of a side-effect - the thing I'm obsessing over is more around things that are most interesting as an update to something. e.g. a comment, blog post [anti-example: opening a calculator]

maybe indieauth; unless the auth mechanism comes out-of-band I guess

i'm trying to log in to woodwind, and its calling my auth endpoint with no scope set. is that a valid type of request?
#
[emmak]
how do indieauth and other services handle this?
j12t and friedcell joined the channel
#
aaronpk
[emmak]: yeah that's valid, it is just an "id" request then
#
aaronpk
not requesting authorization to post to your site, just authenticating you
#
[emmak]
interesting
#
[emmak]
do some sites specifically request "id"?
friedcell joined the channel
#
aaronpk
the client can set response_type=id but if response_type is not set then the default is id anyway
#
aaronpk
if the client is requesting authorization, then response_type=code
#
[emmak]
"id" is a response type then, not a scope?
#
tantek
what is a response type?

j12t joined the channel
#
aaronpk
correct
#
aaronpk
response type is a parameter used in an IndieAuth (and OAuth) request to indicate whether the website is trying to simply sign you in or whether it is requesting permission to post to your site

[kevinmarks]: maybe just indie reply then

Indie reply with automatic POSSE threading is pretty effective IMO
#
tantek
ownyourcomments and make sure the person tweeting (or whatever) sees your reply
#
tantek
best of both worlds
#
tantek
and a stark demonstration of the silo vs indieweb false dichotomy
#
[kevinmarks]
doing it via woodwind is also good, but maybe a bit more obscure
#
[kevinmarks]
eg I reply to kyle in woodwind, and then show that it is on my site, on twitter and on his
#
tantek
doing it via Woodwind is *better* because it demonstrates 1. how a modern "reader" SHOULD work, with inline buttons to reply, like etc. (Google Reader never had that)
#
tantek
and 2. the one-click reply inline UI is much more akin to the silo-UX convenience people are used to today
#
tantek
you won't otherwise get that on indieweb sites directly unless they support /webactions + /indie-config, AND you have YOUR personal site setup with indie-config as well

[kevinmarks]: interesting. looking at http://atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/ ...there's actually no image field for authors (or entries), only for the feed
#

granary can do twitter lists. may just not be exposed in the UI
#

ah, right. so It's an Atom spec bug

does webmention discovery require doing a HEAD request first? and if so, it should require that if an endpoint is found, that it MUST NOT retrieve the document itself
#

tantek: I think it is recommended.

Loqi
[Aaron Parecki] Webmention
#
gRegorLove
That second part "MUST NOT" in the question doesn't seem to be specified.
#
gRegorLove
It's how the ProcessWire Webmention plugin works, though
#
GWG
The rewrites I'm doing on the webmention plugin have it retrieve the document only if it doesn't find the header links, to see if the endpoint is in the HTML itself, which is permitted
#
gRegorLove
"Senders may initially make an HTTP HEAD request [RFC2616] to check for the Link header before making a GET request."

I think that should be a SHOULD

to get that magic-update feel other folks have

Markdown is a an abstracted language by HTML isn't?
#
KevinMarks
s/by/but/
#
Loqi
KevinMarks meant to say: Markdown is a an abstracted language but HTML isn't?
#
tantek
reasoning with some decent principles: longevity, author-friendliness, separation of styling
#
KevinMarks
marking up with mf2 so you can extract clean HTML is another answer
#
tantek
KevinMarks: I think his point one hints at the key difference, less "cruft" in the content
#
tantek
where cruft is anything besides the actual content
#
tantek
including markup
#
KevinMarks
he likes their link format though, so we're not likely to agree
#
tantek
oh? I thought I was the only one that dislikes the Markdown link and image formats
#
KevinMarks
I find them very crufty
#
aaronpk
I prefer the media wiki link syntax
#
tantek
what is link syntax?
#
aaronpk
I can barely ever remember the order of the markdown [] vs ()
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "link syntax" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10Jy
#
gRegorLove
I can never remember the right way to do links on github (whatever flavor of MD that is)
#
gRegorLove
+1 aaronpk. That.
#
tantek
link syntax is a way of expressing a hyperlink, with a URL and link text, in plain text, such as Markdown, MediaWiki syntax, etc.

#
KevinMarks
angle brackets are too hard, so lets use round and square ones instead
#
aaronpk
url first? text first? url goes in the round ones or the square ones?
#
KevinMarks
at IIW 2 people volunteered to make diagrams of the plumbing for the indieweb comments demo
marcthiele joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
so I'll see if they look similar
#
bear
to be honest I have the same complaint about mediawiki link - is it [] or () or {} and is the text first or last
#
aaronpk
the rules for mediawiki link syntax are very simple though
#
gRegorLove
URL-first makes sense to me.
#
aaronpk
URL first makes sense cause it's the closest to the HTML I would write instead
#
bear
url first to me is wrong because i'm writing text and *then* want to have that text get a link
#
gRegorLove
Link text is optional, so makes sense to come after the link.
#
gRegorLove
MW doesn't use () for anything special, afaik
#
bear
the link only then becomes the text if it's standalone
#
snarfed
gRegorLove: sure it does, for links
#
KevinMarks
url[space]link text is easy to remember
#
snarfed
tries to sidestep the bikeshedding
#
gRegorLove
snarfed: No? External links in MW are [ ], internal are [[ ]]
#
tantek
snarfed lol
#
bear
i'm just pushing back because of the variations on "easy to remember" i'm seeing
#
snarfed
MD has multiple link formats. that's one. [text](http://link) is another
#
snarfed
(i always use the latter)
#
aaronpk
it does?!
#
snarfed
easy to remember varies widely from person to person. not a very objective argument.
#
snarfed
aaronpk: yup
#
gRegorLove
I'm referring to MediaWiki, which isn't Markdown
#
gRegorLove
Sorry for MW/MD confusion
#
snarfed
oh sorry gRegorLove, i misread MW as MD
#
aaronpk
yeah not so much
Lancey joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
fair point; I suppose it's me knowing URLs can't have spaces in
#
aaronpk
and markdown doesn't support mediawiki link syntax
#
aaronpk
not sure there is any overlap there
#
gRegorLove
Anyway, let's go shopping
#
tantek
documents the bikeshedding
#
tantek
Hmm I still need a name for my fixed version of Markdown / alternative
#
aaronpk
Marktek
#
bear
textfirst
#
tantek
interesting, I chose linktext before URL in my syntax, because the linktext is what a user is reading first and foremost more than the URL it links to
#
KevinMarks
Poshmark (as opposed to Commonmark)
#
tantek
Posh has too many negative (elitist?) connotations
#
KevinMarks
that was the joke
#
KevinMarks
Raremark
#
bear
writable - because that is just what it is
#
tantek
textfirst is catchy
#
KevinMarks
plaintek
#
tantek
if we really want to pick unspellable by hearing, plaintekst
#
tantek
hah textfirst already is a hashtag that means text before calling etc.

tantek: text first makes sense the way you describe it. My perspective is mostly from writing HTML links and MediaWiki syntax for so long.
#
KevinMarks
the dynamic UI is write the text then select it to add a link in almost all authoring tools
#
gRegorLove
How many signature template files do I need?? Haha
miklb joined the channel
#
bear
that also fits my mental model of what a footnote is (which is what I view a link as for a very old reason)
marcthiele joined the channel
#
KevinMarks
isn't markdown link syntax based on footnotes? [1] etc
#
gRegorLove
tantek: Why transclusion not redirect for signatures?
#
tantek
just a pattern I picked up from wikipedia. transclusion for templates
#
gRegorLove
wonders how long until someone makes Template:gRegorLove now
#

re: naming of my fixed markdown. I'm trying to determine either syntax mnemonics of common principles that a name could be used to infer and thus rederive any/all of the syntax.

I was trying out variations of words that mean the act of creating a composition or body of text - so that the name says exactly what it is doing, getting out of the way so you can compose your thoughts

KevinMarks: Didn't get many responses to testing out cross-site replies, or just needed that one comment?
#
KevinMarks
I ended up responding to random tweets and things too
#
tantek
bear interesting that I came to the same conclusion you did re: text before link
#
gRegorLove
Speaking of fixed Markdown, I wonder what the status is of the one-true-Markdown they were working on a year or so ago.
#
KevinMarks
also to my own site as webmention.herokuapp.com is instant (that needs a better name)
#
bear
for me its because I was writing text long before html was a thing
#
tantek
for me it's because the text is the *primary* content, and the link is a "see also"
#
bear
(yep and that)
#
tantek
all my changes are about putting the primary content first, then secondary, tertiary etc.
#
KevinMarks
"we plan to announce a finalized 1.0 spec and test suite in early 2016." is it still early?
#
bear
right, add only that special marker that enhances the text
#
aaronpk
maybe we can call webmention.herokuapp.com "TWEPTNABN" the webmention endpoint that needs a better name
#
KevinMarks
is it called 'a webmention endpoint'
