Back in Portland! It's quite warm here!
#
tantek
when did FB add color / gradient / pattern backgrounds to posts?!?!
#
tantek
I'm wondering if people are seeing this
#
tantek
and if so, is it in the API for POSSEIng somehow
#
aaronpk
A few weeks ago?
#
tantek
seriously!?!
#
aaronpk
Maybe longer
#
tantek
ok so they are turning into MySpace
#
aaronpk
what is background color?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "background color" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
aaronpk
I think that's what they call it

What is an apprentice?
#
Loqi
An apprentice, in the context of the indieweb, is an IndieWebCamp participant who has not yet setup a personal domain with IndieAuth, but is passionate about owning their identity & data on the web and dedicated to doing so, with the help of a creator https://indieweb.org/apprentice
#
GWG
Is there a term for someone who is interested but not passionate?
#
tantek
GWG, curious?
#
tantek
wait what brought up apprentice?
#
GWG
tantek, I have a friend who moved to Washington State, he decided to stop by to see me and RSVPed for Sunday
#
GWG
I am not sure what he will do
#
tantek
GWG, perhaps help him setup his own domain name
#
tantek
and website
#
tantek
like we did with Emma in NYC
#
tantek
in re-reading https://kraft.blog/2017/06/the-open-web/ and the response handling - it looks even more cleaned up / neat than before!

#

I was actually starting to dig in to see about support reacji/likons/reaction emoji via the WP webmention and semantic linkback plugin alongside the emoji reactions feature plugin for WP ( https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/07/reactions/ )
#
kraftbj
it adds a comment type of `reactions` to WP and if the webmentions, et al plugins could all play nicely together, that'd be cool
#
kraftbj
plus have a cleaner display (or option of) IMO than listing an emoji reaction with the same weight of a reply.
#
kraftbj
the feature plugin is a bit quiet, but I chatted with Gary tonight and it's still in the mind to move forward on... just backburnered for now. along with webmentions, both are solid use cases for pushing WP further along on custom comment types, which all thrown together I think part of moving the whole ship forward
#
GWG
kraftbj: So, you think Semantic Linkbacks should switch from using meta for the types to the comment type field?
#
GWG
We've discussed it at times.
#
kraftbj
GWG: It might be too early for it, but i think custom comment types, once fully baked, will have more staying power
#
GWG
kraftbj: But might be better to do it now to avoid conversion later. Already we'd have to convert old mentions.
#
kraftbj
comment type is part of the wp_comments table which is probably more performant at scale if we want to sort by it vs commentmeta, but i haven't ran any baselines for that thought
#
kraftbj
I would lean toward custom types, but I just don't want to suggest it today and have something wrt custom comment types change that would negatively impact it
#
GWG
kraftbj: Should be interesting to see what happens over time.
#
kraftbj
once we get that conversation restarted and a bit further down, I would feel more comfortable suggesting it.
#
GWG
kraftbj: How do you feel about post's supporting location?
wolftune joined the channel
#
kraftbj
the conversion would need to be done either way so i don't immediately see a need to rush the decision on your end re types
#
kraftbj
hmm
#
kraftbj
I generally like the thought. I haven't dove into implementation (WP.com vs anything else out there right now)
#
kraftbj
it would be really interesting for lifestreams, photoblogs, travel blogs, etc and if there is some type of standard data storage for it, that would be great
#
kraftbj
though, tbh, post location has been broken on WordPress.com for a bit of time now and there's been little outcry. Comes back to display -- it's not displayed so often that I don't know if people realize it isn't working.
#
GWG
kraftbj: That's another one of my projects I'm going to be putting some love toward next. I rotate around.
#
kraftbj
GWG: Where's the repo? Would like to keep pulse of that one too.

I'm heading to bed. I was hoping to get PuSHPress up into git tonight, but the git svn from the plugins repo is dreadfully slow checking through all of the revisions.
#
kraftbj
thanks for the link and all of your work on this stuff already. You're in virtually every repo or trac instance :)
#
GWG
kraftbj: The benefit of a narrow focus.
#
kraftbj
Oh -- with the syndicated links -- one thing slowing me down on that from the WP.com side is we're about to release a feature to re-Publicize and scheduled re-Publicize, which makes the existing data storage method for Publicize links to not scale
fzylogic_ joined the channel
#
kraftbj
so what I thought would be a really easy push through is slightly more complicated. Not a ton, but enough to caution me on moving too fast with it with the change being new and unreleased.
#
GWG
kraftbj: I'm following the issue to see what ends up happening.
#
kraftbj
the concern on our end with the old storage system is if someone, say, re-publishes to twitter 100 times on a post. That's going to really build up the size of the post meta and with serialziing that.. bleh
#
kraftbj
when we get to it, we can hash it out in GH, but wonder if there's an upper-limit to enforce (say only 25, 50, etc URLs per post or something like that)
#
GWG
That seems like a lot of reposting.
#
kraftbj
oh yeah, it is and total edge case, but we get folks like that
#
kraftbj
"If I don't post my blog URL every 10 minutes, someone might miss it!"

#
petermolnar
so, a few days ago the topic of blogrolls emerged in the chat channel which got me thinking (catching up with the past week): we do miss this from our sites. Nearly all silos do 'following' or something similar where you can access people you follow. And indeed, I could easily get the list of people I follow per silo, add the people I 'indie' follow and display it on, for example, /following
#
petermolnar
which is exactly what I'm going to do
#
petermolnar
it makes sense to see that list merged
#
petermolnar
what is following?
#
Loqi
follow is a common button in silo UIs (like Twitter) that adds updates from that profile (typically a person) to the stream shown in an integrated reader, and sometimes creates a follow post either in the follower's stream ("… followed …" or "… is following …") thus visible to their followers, and/or in the notifications of the user being followed ("… followed you") https://indieweb.org/following
friedcell joined the channel
#
sknebel
I was reminded by the discussion of pre-blogroll "recommended links" sections on homepages, which might become part of bookmark handling. not quite the same as follow, but similar
nitot joined the channel
#
petermolnar
similar, yes, but following a feed/website is definitely different from bookmarking a certain article
nitot joined the channel
#
sknebel
yes, I specifically meant recommending an entire site
#
sknebel
(It really depends on presentation if something is recommended or not. I wouldn't "recommend" everything and everyone I follow, just as bookmarks can be recommendations or just personal logs)
#
petermolnar
I think about bookmarks as 'useful stuff'
#
petermolnar
things I like are favs (or likes, depending on silo)
#
petermolnar
and there people/sites I follow to get those useful and interesting things out of
#
petermolnar
but I do miss 'blogrolls' links
#
petermolnar
so to me, it would make sense to resurrect it and rename it to 'following'
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
Zegnat
I'm not even sure it needs to be renamed to be resurrected. But when you have something on your site please put it on the wiki as example!
#
Zegnat
I am super in favour of reworking the blogroll wiki page btw
#
sknebel
yeah, that's kind of my question. I always took blogroll as a kind of recommendation, a list of everyone I follow (esp if stuff like twitter is in there) is not as strong
#
Zegnat
Hopefully ricmac will call in during IWS. Would love to hear why he thought IndieWeb was somehow against blogroll.
#
Zegnat
Interesting thought, sknebel. You don't think you reading someone's content means you would necessarily recommend that content to others?
#
sebsel
well there is the social obligation to follow some people who you don't like to follow
#
sebsel
friends vs following
#
sebsel
Ello had a nice UI for that
#
sebsel
what is ello?
#
Loqi
Ello is microblogging silo similar to Twitter or Tumblr for posting short status update notes and pictures https://indieweb.org/Ello
#
sknebel
even less negative, the friends that I like to follow, but know that my website visitors wouldn't care about what they do
#
sknebel
because they only are interesting to me because I have a personal connection to what they do
#
sebsel
hm, I don't see it on there, but they had/have two feeds: following and noise. and other people could not see who was on which list.
#
petermolnar
sknebel recommend and follow are two very different things in my read
#
sknebel
exactly
#
sknebel
I took a blogroll more as "recommend", so a "following" list would be something different?
#
sknebel
but I don't have a very strong idea of what a blogroll is
#
petermolnar
I've always considered blogroll the same as following but now that you're questioning it, it indeed needs clarification
#
petermolnar
anyone knows the origin of blogroll?
#
sebsel
hm, seems like Ello changed a lot since I last logged in, I can't find the 'follow vs noise' distinction anymore. no time to document now
#
sknebel
what is blogroll?
#
Loqi
A blogroll is a list of other sites that you read, are a follower of, or recommend https://indieweb.org/blogroll
#
sknebel
the history section there links a "first use", but that's not clearer
calumryan joined the channel
#
petermolnar
wow, that's a live link from 2000!
#
petermolnar
"Unlike other areas of blogging, where today we see great new services (such as in the commenting space) nothing has seemingly popped up to replace blogrolls." - this is from 2008 (http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/blogrolls_rip/); well, here we are, in 2017, and we have 'follow'. There, the internet fixed it.
#
calumryan
I think Google+ Circles orginally provided features for sharing group feeds as well as the current/existing features for following people/organisations

Feels like a SEO piece, and that’s only the “what is” section of the article

Most SEO has no backup for claims, because they keep guesstimating at search engine algorithms.

nitot, loicm, j12t and tantek joined the channel
#
Zegnat
sebsel: “friends vs following” is an interesting distinction. On Facebook, following something is a bigger recommendation than “friending”.
#
tantek
is it?
#
Zegnat
From my perspective, definitely. Following has no social pressure, friending has.
#
Zegnat
E.g. I am friends with several relatives, but I have specifically unfollowed them because I am not interested in the content they produce.
#
tantek
That sounds more like /mute
#
tantek
I think "unfollow" has additional implications, like you don't want them to message you
#
Zegnat
You stay friends with an aunt so she can message you and invite you to events et.al. And because your mom would get angry when you unfriend her sister, or other such talk could happen within the family.
#
Zegnat
No. On Facebook, following is the act of subscribing to a page or person's content.
#
Zegnat
When you friend someone on Facebook you automatically also follow them. You can then unfollow them if you do not want to subscribe to their content.
#
tantek
sounds like details we should write up on /friend#Silo_Examples
#
Zegnat
So in Facebook terms: being friends allows for communications and establishes a social link (possibly marked up with relational data), following says you are interested in their content
#
tantek
what is friend
#
Loqi
friending (AKA add friend or the verb to friend) is a general term applied to the various silo user interactions with sites regarding reciprocal friendship https://indieweb.org/friend
#
sknebel
re (sry petermolnar, went to lunch, but Zegnat basically covered it, I found it primarily interesting because it was really recent and had a poll)
#
sknebel
what is follow?
#
Loqi
follow is a common button in silo UIs (like Twitter) that adds updates from that profile (typically a person) to the stream shown in an integrated reader, and sometimes creates a follow post either in the follower's stream ("… followed …" or "… is following …") thus visible to their followers, and/or in the notifications of the user being followed ("… followed you") https://indieweb.org/follow
#
tantek
Zegnat - your explanation of Facebook's friend vs follow is one of the clearest and shortest I have seen. Definitely add something like it to /friend#Facebook and maybe a bit to /follow#Facebook too!
#

The whole thing with blogrolls and discoverability is why I did my webmention directory. It's almost a blogroll in reverse - not people I necessarily follow but people who have interacted with me.
#
sknebel
hm, I should have my webmention sender export some kind of list (with frequency) as well
#
Zegnat
sknebel: frequency mentions per what? Mentions per domain?
#
sknebel
Zegnat: heh, good point
#
sknebel
per author of post referenced?
#
sknebel
ideally?

sknebel
(which will often fall back or be equivalent to per domain)
#
petermolnar
you got me thinking on trying to find my 'followers' by feed pulls from ips and ptr lookups :)

Zegnat
Author URL would be interesting, agreed!
#
Zegnat
Interestingly, that would mean a mention from you to http://microformats.org/2017/06/20/evolving-for-12-years will bump my personal page on vanderven.se/martijn on the list and not register microformats.org at all :/

Kongaloosh - reading that it sounded like you felt that you had been gamified and doing things for list completion (extrinsic) rather than personal need (intrinsic) which is a potential problem with https://indieweb.org/indiemark and maybe even with indiewebify.me

I still wonder if that is another overall wiki presentation issue, [kevinmarks]. We are very good at listing technologies, but also very good at forgetting /principles

Hi everyone, I've been reading about IndieWeb for the past year or so, and I'm coming to the summit this weekend. But I've never posted here, so I thought I'd say hi.
#
sknebel
welcome!
#
Zegnat
Hi jackjamieson!
#
Zegnat
wonders how much overlap there is between IWS and this channel

What's IWS?
#
Zegnat
IndieWeb Summit
#
jackjamieson
Ah, right
#
Zegnat
What is IWS?
#
Zegnat
Hmm, Loqi doesn’t know?
#
Zegnat
What is IndieWeb Summit?
#
@WorkingWriter
Going to be in Portland OR this weekend? Still time to go to the #IndieWeb Summit. Wish I could be there... https://indieweb.org/2017

#
jackjamieson
I guess Loqi doesn't pick up "What's" instead of "What is"
#
Zegnat
Anyone know why the summary there doesn’t get picked up by Loqi? sknebel?
#
Zegnat
true, jackjamieson. But I expected Loqi to tell me what IWS is.
#
Zegnat
Like so:
#
Zegnat
What is HTML?
#
Loqi
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to create web pages, thus one of the building blocks of the IndieWeb https://indieweb.org/HTML
#
sknebel
What is next-hwc?
#
sknebel
When is IWS?
#
sknebel
no idea, doesn't like events?
#
tantek
When is next-hwc?
#
Zegnat
when is next-hwc?
#
Loqi
Homebrew Website Club Meetup is on 2017-06-28 at Starbucks Sony-Center https://indieweb.org/next-hwc
#
Zegnat
You have to do lowercase, tantek
#
Zegnat
when/When is broken (known bug)
#
sknebel
what is IWC Berlin?
#
[colinwalker]
Thanks @sknebel
#
[colinwalker]
@zegnat I agree, it's definitely more about the ownership but that quote is useful to illustrate that not ALL technologies are required, not everything HAS to be implemented.

petermolnar
I hereby start an indieweb-poll: is 'following' the same as 'blogroll' used to be or they should not be compared? If the latter, how would you describe the difference?
#
petermolnar
(I should post this and allow webmentions on it, shouldn't I?)
#
aaronpk
i always thought a blogroll was a more carefully curated list of blogs i am reading
#
petermolnar
I always treated my blogroll as my list of followed blogs
#
Kongaloosh
sknebel: I would reccomend trying to avoid it! That being said, it didn't really dissuade me. I think part of what made it challenging for me to start was understthanding what I personally wanted and needed when there's so much out there for you to implement.
eli_oat joined the channel
#
sknebel
Kongaloosh: yes, your post has been a good reminder to spend time on figuring that out instead of trying to follow all the paths at the same time
#
@martijnvdven
@fletcher0xFF As part of the #indieweb IRC fleet I thank you for making sure we don’t forget the power of the blogrolls! ?
(twitter.com/_/status/877905692597788672)
#
Kongaloosh
it's challenging sometimes, because you need to do things and use your stuff to figure that out
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think there is a difference in perception of the two petermolnar, subscribing to a blog has a curated list of longer reads, while 'following' someone is usually getting info on what they are doing, liking, sharing. more like the firehose. they may end up the same in the way they are implmented, but i feel they are different
#
Kongaloosh
[kevinmarks]: yeah, I hadn't thought about it that way, but that was kind-of how it felt.
#
sknebel
regarding blogroll: I also see it more as a selection, both for size and quality reasons. My blogroll might include individual twitter accounts, but it never would have everyone I follow on twitter
#
Kongaloosh
I started with indiemark and indiewebify me
j12t joined the channel
#
Kongaloosh
and used those to startup my site
#
Kongaloosh
but I rarely use webmentions, or even linked-data notifications
#
Kongaloosh
I think implementing them taught me a lot
#
Zegnat
petermolnar: I think I have to go with aaronpk on curation. While I would be happy to recommend other people to follow what I follow, there are several reasons for not publishing an entire list of things I follow. I would expect a blogroll to be a subset of things I follow. (If I don’t follow it, I should not have it on my blogroll.)

Facebook: resistance is futile
#

#

only real compromise there has been the switch to use FB venue db instead of 4sq
#
eli_oat
and stories everywhere

petermolnar, where that falls apart is that Zuck is obsessed with consolidating power, the borg distribute it :P

#
petermolnar
stories in the middle of a feed? Yo, dawg, I've heard you like stories, so I put stories in your stories.
#
eli_oat
stories all the way down
#
petermolnar
well, the Borg had their Queen
#
Zegnat
BTW, tantek, I saw you noticed background colours on FB posts? But did you know there are two *exclusive* backgrounds for Pride Month? ;)
#
Zegnat
Exclusive in the same way as the rainbow reacji, I believe.
#
Zegnat
thanks sebsel for getting him in on the sweet, sweet Facebook rainbows
#
Zegnat
Do people have an opinion on silos making things like this exclusive to a subset of their users?
#
tantek
zegnat, we should document that
#
tantek
I've been documenting seasonal or event based features on various silos like that
#
tantek
let me see if I can find them
mlncn joined the channel
#
Zegnat
I think seasonal can make sense. I am conflicted on the way they did this for pride by limiting who could use it.
#
Zegnat
Temporary Features sounds like a good heading.
#
Zegnat
Otherwise, just refer to the bridgy commit log for when new reacji were introduced ;)
#
tantek
Zegnat, note the specific subheads below for particular "events" as it were
#
Zegnat
This is the funniest thing I have seen today! https://twitter.com/fletcher0xFF/status/877914348449972224 - thank you Facebook for using *my face* as the representative image for the chatlog
#
dougbeal|iOS
Instagram inflicted a horror movie ad in the middle of stories.
#
aaronpk
do i need to make some featured image for the chat logs so fb doesn't do that?
#
Zegnat
aaronpk: maybe? Put the IndieWeb logo as featured image in some way? For the few times people link to us on Facebook and Facebook decides to fetch a random display picture I am not sure it is even worth the time to fix
nitot joined the channel
#
Zegnat
Don’t go fix it for my sake though.
#
Zegnat
This reminds me of when the logs were projected during IWC Düsseldorf 2016 and I was transcribing to chat so my face was all over it
#
aaronpk
works on sending an IWS update
#
Kongaloosh
Zegnat: I get the feeling that a lot of these "exclusive seasonal things" are for labelling purposes
#
Kongaloosh
making large datasets is hard if you want to do supervised learning
#
eli_oat
I bet they also help with demographics segmentation, by tracking who is using what
#
Kongaloosh
if you have your users, say, tagging posts which are "pridefull" you can start modelling queer-topics
#
Kongaloosh
just like if you have users putting bounding boxes around faces to tag photos, you could use that to train facial recognition
#
Zegnat
Sure. But the way to get access to these reacji and backgrounds is by specifically liking a Facebook-run LGBTQ page.
#
Zegnat
So tracking of the reacji and background after that is a bit superfluous
#
Kongaloosh
I'm not so sure
#
Kongaloosh
what if I want to know "how queer this post is"
#
Kongaloosh
something similar
#
eli_oat
but they were used in protest, too
#
eli_oat
yeah, like folks flooding anti PP posts
#
Kongaloosh
anti as in "we don't like pride things" or "we reject facebook co-opting pride"
#
Zegnat
I haven’t seen anyone angry at Facebook for introducing these. Only over the exclusivity. But people are mostly OK to like a page to get access.
#
Kongaloosh
i've seen some people get grumpy about facebook for doing this
#
Kongaloosh
mostly from the machine learning side
#
Kongaloosh
but some were also pointint out that they couldn't access it because of the country they were in
#
Zegnat
Is there any proof of that? I know a lot of people didn’t realise the requirements at first (including me).
#
[kevinmarks]
if you don't give them an og-image, facebook will pick the first one on the page that meets their size criteria
#
Zegnat
sebsel joked (or maybe he did it?!) about travelling to Amsterdam to see if location was limiting him from using the rainbow reacji
j12t and loicm joined the channel
#
Kongaloosh
Zegnat: Nooo clue. I don't really write a whole-lot of FB anymore. I just saw people whinging in passing.
#
Zegnat
I am not deep enough into the online LGBTQ+ community to know what is happening there either.
#
Zegnat
Part of the community by orientation only, not by participation ;)
#
Zegnat
I will add these Pride backgrounds and the Reacji to the wiki though
#
[kevinmarks]
Kongaloosh I think when indiemark was put together we hadn't been through enough of the gamification negatives as conveyed by Kathy Sierra and Kevin Werbach
#
Kongaloosh
tbf, indiemark was a guiding star that helped me find a path forwards
#
Kongaloosh
like, it was the one page I referenced a lot when I started a lot
#
Kongaloosh
because it helped me come up with requirements
#
Kongaloosh
and it extensively links to the other parts of the site
#
[kevinmarks]
right, that was the goal, but the points system is a bit awkward.
#
Kongaloosh
I guess that's the case
#
[kevinmarks]
indiewebify.me is a clearer path, but a lot simpler.
#
Kongaloosh
I think it's because if you're new, maybe you should focus on functionality and personalization before you add a system to post, say, audio
#
Kongaloosh
unless that's your jam
#
Kongaloosh
but I had an early video and audio system, before even making a simple all-platfor posting system
#
[kevinmarks]
but both are normative in the way that Zegnat was worrying about
Pierre-O joined the channel
#
Zegnat
remind me of my specific worry, [kevinmarks], my mind seems to lapse
#
Kongaloosh
like, I feel that having a page like indiewebify me which has a curated list of "common features" and links to their descriptions would be helpful
#
Kongaloosh
and it kind of already exists in a bunch of places
#

Kongaloosh

Kongaloosh, I am probably not the best to elaborate on the matter. But where the wiki is doing a great job for documenting thought process, development, and technologies, it seems like people want to read more blog-like articles that introduce them to things. Nobody is actively producing that content though.
#
Zegnat
Mucht like how people installing WordPress often look at blog posts of people who have gone before them, rather than the heavy WordPress documentation.
#
Kongaloosh
I found the wiki a bit of a labyrinth at the time
#
Kongaloosh
like, it's hard to discern without any grounding what on the wiki is what a few people doing, and what's common practice

Hi everyone, re "# 02:45 Zegnat Hopefully ricmac will call in during IWS. Would love to hear why he thought IndieWeb was somehow against blogroll." Just to be clear, I don't think IW is against blogroll. I was simply observing that nobody seems to have one these days, which I think is a shame. fwiw I view it more as a curated list, rather than the follow model.

hi Zegnat. Well one ides is to add 1-2 examples of people who use blogrolls, or a new version of it?

it has Atom, not RSS, but I suspect you don't care about that distinction

one thing about blogrolls I love though, is that it's a good way for newbies to get to know which other bloggers inspire/influence the one blogger they have discovered. So it's a gateway into a community of people.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Thanks guys! I knew there was one, but just couldn't remember where. Yes, Atom will be just as good I suspect.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I've noticed a handful of readers in the last couple of days that allow one to subscribe to an .opml file, so if one publishes it and updates it later, the reader will just add the additional feeds in stride.
#
tantek
ricmac agreed. lots of good things about blogrolls. I too was disappointed they fell out of favor. But had to admit to it happening as a phenomenon.

Note that this is different to importing an .opml file and subscribing to feeds within it.

[chrisaldrich]: that's definitely a better way to do it!

Inoreader was one of them as I recall. I think the PressForward WP plugin does it as well.

GWG
Afternoon
#
[miklb]
I looked into doing it locally, but discovered opml is pretty loose (as is most XML I suspect) so couldn’t really just keep in a git repo.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I'm considering how to possibly create a bookmarklet to add to my WP "blogroll" (Lists) regularly and then simply have it sync with a reader.
#
[chrisaldrich]
The nice part is that I can have some of these subscriptions marked as "private" from an external facing perspective, but still have them show up internally.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Still lots of playing around to do to make it work the way I think it should.
#

[chrisaldrich]: Well, it may be a good place to hold bookmarks. Owning mine has always been on my list

[chrisaldrich]
It could be good for all kinds of things, though for bookmark use, I would probably fork it and rename to keep the data storage in a different spot perhaps.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: I haven't looked at the functions for it.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: Why different spot?
#
[chrisaldrich]
Mostly to keep the concept of blogroll separate from bookmarks and the intentions of what those do. Though perhaps using categories on them would be a reasonable separator
#
Zegnat
sknebel did you log your idea for generating blogroll based on interaction frequency? Should probably add to brainstorm?
#
[chrisaldrich]
gRegorLove, I'm noticing that attempting to subscribe to you via Feedly seems to fail.... and surely they support Atom.
#
gRegorLove
Hmm, tried with https?
#
gRegorLove
Oh, I misspoke earlier. It's my notes Atom feed that is via Granary. Articles is one I coded in ProcessWire.
#
gRegorLove
Still, it has rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" on the homepage so should be found.

gRegorLove I suspect that Feedly doesn't have very good discovery based on prior tests, but from your home page and using your Subtome button and choosing Feedly as the preference, it's not finding anything.

I remember reading about that custom bookmark custom post type. I think I even played around with a version of it a year or two ago.

gRegorLove, I just tried it and it was fine there too... not sure why it wouldn't work from subtome.

hey everyone (I'm still new to IndieWeb and hope to learn during weekend in Portland). I have a question: I usually use schema.org for my personal site. But it seems that indieweb prefers microformats. Why is that and and what is the difference between two? I saw this page: https://indieweb.org/metadata. But still can't figure it out
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG: I'm already swimming with too much today... don't kill me. ?
#
gRegorLove
Huffduffer could be a good way to recommend episodes, then commentary on the episodes could be posted on our sites and webmention the huffduffer post

#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: What I dream of and what I will do are different things
#
GWG
M-podviaznikov: Speaking personally, microformats are simpler for one.
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG: I'm exactly the same way... but even the dreams are difficult to wrangle this past month, much less the action.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: Tell me about it tomorrow. I will express sympathy in person
#
GWG
You are coming this weekend, right?
#
[chrisaldrich]
M-podviaznikov the nice part is that you can do both without any penalties.
#
[markmhendrickso
are folks in here in agreement w colinwalker that it's a "crisis"? i haven't hung around here enough to know if the internal feeling is that dire
#

#
aaronpk
[markmhendrickson] I wouldn't call it a crisis, but I do feel like we're reaching a point of breaking through to the next generation now more than a year ago
#
gRegorLove
Hi M-podviaznikov. I think schema is mostly (only?) consumed by some search engines. Over the years the indieweb community has generally found microformats easier to author, maintain, and consume, letting us federate comments across our sites.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
M-podviaznikov: I find them much simlper and clearer. parsing of them is different as well
#
M-podviaznikov
[chrisaldrich] yeah, I understand that I can use both. I wonder if you know of any advantages of one vs another
#
ben_thatmustbeme
its not Only consumed by, there are definitely others that use it
#
ben_thatmustbeme
also its in all of the independent social media now with only a few missing microformats markup
#
[colinwalker]
I think there is definitely an issue with developer mentality vs user mentality. All developers are uses but not all users are developers. The confusion illustrates the discussions here about language etc.
#
[markmhendrickso
aaronpk interesting, hadn't seen that before. interesting that bloggers and journalists are seen as forming a key stepping stone?
#
M-podviaznikov
gRegorLove: yeah, I think I mostly use schema.org for search engines. I don't really care about comments. I wonder what you mean by easier to consume microformats? Are there tools that use microformats except search engines?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
Micro.blog, Known, Mastodon, GNU Social, Pump.io, Friendica, Hubzilla, all publish microformats
#
ben_thatmustbeme
not all consumer them yet though
#
aaronpk
M-podviaznikov: here's some of my thoughts on it. https://aaronparecki.com/2016/12/17/8/owning-my-reviews tl;dr Schema.org is being pushed by google and likely they will recommend something else in a couple years

Going to read it, thanks for the link. Agree about comment that Schema.org is pushed by google and it might be a concern
#
[markmhendrickso
i'm a bit torn personally. i'd love to see more products here developed for non-technical users and am trying to do my part, but i respect the hard work being done to empower developer users too
#
tantek
[markmhendrickso: no crisis no. the understanding of the spectrum of users is fairly well documented, see /Generations
#
M-podviaznikov
thanks tantek, going to read your link too
#
tantek
and it is evolving over time
#
tantek
M-podviaznikov: I think you'll find that folks here support you using whatever you want on your own site, not to the exclusion of anything else
#
tantek
turns out microformats, mf2 in particular, combined with /Webmention has become the simplest way to interact cross-site on the indieweb
#
tantek
if that user-feature is important to you on your own site, then you can consider *adding* that support
#
tantek
none of this requires you to "remove" anything
#
tantek
that's part of the point of indieweb, you deploy what you want on your site
#
[markmhendrickso
tantek would you say the community has a general sense of timeline for the 4 stages? i.e. does it take years or decades to pass through each, or simply hard to say?
#
tantek
[markmhendrickso: "timeline" sounds project-managery, AFAIK, that's not how most people think about their own websites
#
tantek
what is a roadmap?
#
Loqi
Typical use of the term roadmap does not refer to actual roads, maps, or maps of roads - instead, keep a personal priority ordered list of what you're specifically Working On, and for unsorted or vague desires, add them to an unordered Itches list, on your User page or your project's page https://indieweb.org/roadmap

markmhendrickson It's incredibly tough to say if or when those four stages will come.

I suspect that with consumer-facing things like micro.blog lately that we're already starting into Gen2 and I see bits of Gen3 already looking at the bleeding edges.

In just the past few weeks seeing people like @ricmac dipping their toes into the water have been very positive looking.
#
tantek
indeed, and different efforts (e.g. Known vs WordPress + plugins vs micro.blog) are at different levels in terms of accessibility to generations
#
[markmhendrickso
chrisaldrich i'd say i'm (partially) working on gen 3 personally, but maybe i'm skipping steps! eeeek ?
#
M-podviaznikov
thank you tantek, that makes sense to me. That is good that any standard is supported. I didn't have personal preferences. Don't even remember why I started using schema.org. So it's good to revisit that decision for me
#
[chrisaldrich]
Or even core committers from WordPress thinking about adding pieces into core are positive signs.
#
tantek
M-podviaznikov it's not that "any standard is supported" per se, but rather *your ability to choose for your own site* is supported
#
sketchess
good morning / evening
#
tantek
and it's one of the ways we expand our growing knowledge and experience of a diverse set of technologies for consideration
#
[chrisaldrich]
markmhendrickson I view myself on the border of Gen1/Gen2 and know several who would self-identify as Gen2, but I'm curious who else would self-identify as Gen3.
#
tantek
e.g. I support ActivitiyStreams1.0/Atom on my site which I chose to support at some point in time, but as far as I know no other indieweb site (people here) supports or supports consuming or does anything with. It's my choice to support AS1/Atom on my site, and I don't have to get any agreement to do it
#
sketchess
I hope today I am also lucky and somebody answers my questions. :)
#
[chrisaldrich]
markmhendrickson It's possible that you're the first Gen3 person here, and if so, that in and of itself is very positive!
#
[markmhendrickso
chrisaldrich huzzah! i feel special then
#
[markmhendrickso
i wonder how many designers we have here as well?

sketchess
Is it correct that the syllable 'indie' is derived from 'independent'?
#
tantek
he's humoring you with the "Gen 3" label. Mark is gen 1 :)

directly

sketchess, yes, generally indie is a synonym for independent (mostly rising out of the music scene), but there are subtleties.

It feels somehow weird. I connect with 'independece' something else than the indieweb guide lines do.
#
[colinwalker]
tantek that last paragraph is definitely the point. The generations may be defined but the page says "create language to encourage growth" and that is a major sticking point as I see it right now.
#
[colinwalker]
There are some gen 2's but I think they're technically borderline gen 1s as there is still so much manual work needed which requires knowledge.
#
[colinwalker]
The rumblings about including indieweb tech in WP core or jetpack are great so I could imagine things skipping gen 2 and going straight to gen 3 but, as I've said all along, at that point it won't be referred to as indieweb - it'll just be new functionality in WP and responsibility for the language could get passed over or maybe even usurped??
#
aaronpk
sketchess: perhaps write a blog post about what "independence" means to you
#
sketchess
smiles
#
[colinwalker]
Perhaps one thing about independence in this context is that it is preached to do what you want but the guides say you need x,y & z.
#
sketchess
I think there would be no point in that @aaronpk.

[chrisaldrich]
colinwalker That's a possibility, but I suspect that given both the developer base of WP and their history that it wouldn't be usurped.

More likely I hope that it would create a huge swath of competition both in the social silo space as well as for other CMSes.

I know someone implemented an anonymous webmention set up before, why not a similar anonymous authentication solution?
#
Zegnat
index.php is the thing you link to on your website, and you put your information in config.php, then you should be able to login with your domain
#
Zegnat
[chrisaldrich], that is basically what this is. You use your domain to login with indie web-login, and the authentication is provided by that PHP file hosted by you on your domain.

that was a good flow. it was a simple form, then provided code to copy and paste into the config file.

if the file had checked whether the web server has write permissions, it could have written the config file itself.

#
GWG
Chrisaldrich, we'll entertain her.
#
schmarty

#
aaronpk

#
aaronpk
oh good idea schmarty!
#
GWG
Ooh.. that would be interesting
#
[chrisaldrich]
Thanks GWG! She's doing some cool stuff at signl.fm as a part of matter.vc
#
GWG
Park it outside
#
aaronpk
hah there's no way to park that downtown
#
[chrisaldrich]
I was kind of hoping to record some short 5-10 minute podcast-able interviews with people over the duration of the weekend.

schmarty: we don't have concrete plans saturday night but the studio is open until 8pm so we might be able to make a field trip after the sessions!
#
[chrisaldrich]
jeremycherfas and I had discussed doing something longer form, and I wanted to get some quick-hit content of people discussing why/how they got into the community.
#
[chrisaldrich]
something to add some human interest and warmth as well as voices to the larger conversation

aaronpk: that sounds like fun! i am super interested in learning about podcast communities.
#
[chrisaldrich]
thx schmarty; the good news are the short escrow periods, the bad news is the short escrow periods.
#
GWG
Maybe the transportini podcast will finally get a second episode
#
schmarty
[chrisaldrich]: it sounds like between GWG and me we have plenty of recording hardware. feel free to send questions - i think short interviews sounds like a fantastic hackday project.
#
schmarty
we can put 'em up somewhere. maybe Kim can help us out
#
GWG
I forgot my battery recharger though. Oh well, I have usb power
#
[chrisaldrich]
schmarty, even short one minute answers to the question "Why did you get involved in indieweb?" could make great bumpers on "This week in Indieweb."
#
[miklb]
or audiograms
#
GWG
I got involved to meet giants
#
[chrisaldrich]
...and then you became one!
#
GWG
Chrisaldrich, so you said

#
GWG
I don't think of myself as one

#
aaronpk

[chrisaldrich]

GWG

GWG

GWG

It's a relatively popular WP-centric video podcast/interview show...
#
snarfed
[chrisaldrich]: um, sure! honestly i'm probably not that great a guest, i mostly avoid wordpress stuff (and CMSes in general)
#
snarfed
only wrote the micropub plugin once it got badly embarrassing that wp still didn't have one
#
GWG
I didn't bring mine either
#
GWG
snarfed, if I used it more, I'd get back to contributing. Still not there
#
GWG
And I still stink at unit tests
#
[chrisaldrich]
snarfed: while the show is WP-specific I'm trying to get them to do a series of indieweb-centric episodes, so you could easily focus more on that and the broader pieces rather than the CMS portion.
#
snarfed
sure, happy to
#
[chrisaldrich]
for me, Indieweb is the topic, and WP is just the means...
#
GWG
Amen
#
[chrisaldrich]
(Though I might not say that outloud on the show...) ?
#
GWG
I wouldn't
#
GWG
But any CMS is a means to an end
