File Storage is the idea of storing the main site content in flat, readble files instead of a database

Contents

IndieWeb Examples

IndieWeb members that use File Storage on their personal site.

Tantek

Tantek Çelik on tantek.com uses flat files for primary storage of content:

Bear

at https://bear.im uses flat files for storage of all content:

  • posts - since 2003-12-18 stored as text with some textual/markdown/whatever markup
  • webmentions - stored as html in the same directory as the post
  • comments - stored as html in the same directory as the post
  • feeds and related

Bret C.

Bret Comnes: I use the following on bret.io

  • Stores site content in git
  • Renders to html using jekyll/gh-pages

Rascul

rascul stores content for https://rascul.io in a git repository.

Barnaby Walters

Stores all canonical copies of waterpigs.co.uk site data in the filesystem

  • notes and articles as YAML files with HTML in (wants to change these to HTML+mf2 for browsability, standards support)
  • timestamped HTML archives (along with HTTP headers in *-headers.txt) in URL-mimicking folder structures
  • Sheet music in ABC files

Mark87

Testing at Editor and Viewer

  • Simple, working Editor saves simple articles as html files to the filesystem.
  • Viewer system loads the html files and can output them with different markup, css, adding h-data, etc.
  • Wants to save html files with microdata schema for super cool idea that I have

... add yourself ...

Want to use file storage

IndieWeb members that *want* to use File Storage on their personal site:

  • Kartik using Bundle wants to move away from MySQL to a HTML+mf2 based file storage for main content. Has played with YAML-based storage but does not like it. Article content is authored and stored in Django-style HTML templates anyway.
  • add yourself.

Flat file "CMS" systems in the wild

  • Grav is a PHP, YAML, Twig and Markdown Extra based storage project which looks promising.

adoption-blockers

Created by Tommorris.org on September 25

This page lists adoption blockers, things currently getting in the way of more non-technical people being involved in the indieweb. Please expand this based on real life efforts at advocacy, preferably with specific citations, rather than just a wishlist of features.

Import From Silos

A lot of people have content in services like Tumblr and WordPress and are blocked on moving to the indieweb due to wanting/needing to import from them (citation needed). We need to work on making it easier to import that content into indie tools.

Diversity

Despite being founded by two women (Amber Case, Crystal Beasley) and two men (Aaron Parecki Tantek Çelik), the IndieWeb community is not very diverse: the majority of participants (as determined even just by IndieWebCamp and Homebrew Website Club photos) currently are people who are white, male, Western and English-speaking (per IRC logs).

While we actively try to be a positive and welcoming community for people of all races, genders, sexualities, religions and backgrounds, the community itself needs to become more diverse in order to prevent against groupthink, the psychological equivalent of monoculture.

form-encoded

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWebCamp wiki by expanding it.



Form-encoded (shorthand for the content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded ) is used with webmention and Micropub for receiving text fields in HTTP POST requests.

Issues

Issues with Arrays

There appears to be some inconsistencies with how different parsers interpret arrays in form-encoded requests. Lets document those here.

PHP's parse_str parses properties ending in [] into an array. Otherwise, properties are single-valued (i.e. only the last value of a multi-valued property is retained). 

php > parse_str("property=abc&property=def", &$result);
php > var_dump($result);
array(1) {
  ["property"]=>
  string(3) "def"
}
php > parse_str("property[]=abc&property[]=def", &$result);
php > var_dump($result);
array(1) {
  ["property"]=>
  array(2) {
    [0]=>
    string(3) "abc"
    [1]=>
    string(3) "def"
  }
}

Python's parse_qs method treats all properties as possibly multi-valued. It treats [] just like any other character 

>>> parse_qs("property=abc&property=def")
{'property': ['abc', 'def']}

diversity

  • Thu, September 25 jenmontes.com Wrote this to counter-balance the energy that has been spent differentiating "indie web" and "ind.ie"
  • Thu, September 25 jenmontes.com /* Within Indie Web Camp */ Fixing internal links
  • Thu, September 25 tommorris.org orientation is the preferred terminology

Diversity is the extent to which a group's participants are representative of a wide range of human attributes including, but not limited to, race, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, able-bodiedness, education, socioeconomic status, political leaning, national origin, etc.

A group's diversity can be measured by its ability to sustain participation among members who fall on very different points on the spectrum within a single attribute, and also by sustaining variations among many different attributes at once.

Contents

Tech sector shortcomings

"Improving diversity" has become a major topic among technology companies as a response to numerous studies linking high-diversity groups to being more willing to express unique opinions, broadening the pool of knowledge, and positive business outcomes. Unfortunately, Google's diversity report, along with data from other Silicon Valley companies, shows that the tech industry still has a long way to go.

Within Indie Web Camp

The lack of diversity among tech companies reflects a larger systemic pattern of ignorance, inattentiveness, and/or exclusion with regard to minority groups in STEM fields, and Indie Web Camp isn't immune to those forces:

So, who else is coming to @indiewebcamp Brighton? There’s currently an embarrassing all-white-male list of “creators” http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List#Creators … [1]

Besides societal forces, there may be other factors that hinder the adoption of Indie Web Camp principles among marginalized groups:

  • "Owning your data", or at the very least owning a domain name, involve a monetary cost that is a very real barrier to entry. In addition, domain name registrants are required to provide their name and contact information on publicly-available WHOIS requests. Groups who require careful privacy measures because of their marginalized status are hit especially hard by this.
  • "Build tools for yourself" presupposes a programming and development education that most minority populations have never been exposed to. In essence, they are being asked to contribute their diverse life experience and also be able to build the medium on which to express themselves. Pre-built solutions like WordPress and Known will be much more attractive.
  • "Plurality of projects" may be attractive to developer-centric groups that understand the differences in implementations, but the number of choices will be overwhelming for the uninitiated. Rather than simply listing the available projects, a table listing supported features and gotchas for each project would allow people to choose a solution based on their skill-level and needs.

Improving diversity

  • Encourage existing minorities within the group to take more active / visible roles. Visible minority members are a strong indicator that the group is "safe".
So I looked for something which looked like “me”, or described “me”, but I just found it to be about a diff community. [2]
i would NEVER even consider going to a conference like that TBH b/c when i look at that photo i'm like, ahhh, a place where i'm not safe. [3]
  • Expand options for virtual participation at conferences. There are enough barriers without adding geography into the mix.
  • Go to the groups you're seeking and ask for help. Programs like the Focus Conference and 300 Seconds will point you in the right direction, or even contacting women's colleges and historically black universities.
  • Identify IndieWebCamp features that are useful to marginalized communities and are being undermined or ignored on silos. Embrace your off-beat culture, find groups that would benefit from it, and invite them to try it.
  • Get advice from people that run successful inclusive unconferences and BarCamps. Vanessa Gennarelli wrote an excellent primer on the subject.

advocacy

Created by Tommorris.org on September 25

Advocacy are efforts to help and empower others by sharing knowledge, ideas and solutions with them.

Good and bad practices

  • Do enable and empower; don't dictate and domineer.
  • Don't downplay people's concerns or ignore legitimate criticisms, Do listen and ask questions, help find ways to recognize and address criticisms.
  • Don't become a raving fundamentalist. The IndieWeb community is based on practicality and positive change, not becoming a weird cultish religion. Using a silo service does not make someone bad, stupid or irrational.

Criticism

Requires login to view public run info

If someone shares info on a particular run, in order to view the details, e.g. splits per mile, RunKeeper requires that you login.

http only

RunKeeper appears to only support http, even for logins.

Using an https URL just redirects to the http version without an error.

This implies that they have enough https support (e.g. a valid certificate) but are choosing not to use it to actually server web pages.

metadata

Created by Kylewm.com on September 25

  • Thu, September 25 kylewm.com Capture helpful comparison from tommorris, with note that this should be moved somewhere less confusing

Metadata, specifically "descriptive metadata", is an umbrella term for all the different ways data (content) can be marked up or organized to facilitate machine-readability. In the context of the IndieWeb, personal sites use metadata to locate interesting information in each other's HTML markup (e.g., author name, post title, etc.).

Issues

  • This page/content should be moved somewhere with less confusing framing
tantek: danlyke, kylewm I think the framing of "metadata" leads people down a confusing and unhelpful path.

http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-09-25#t1411664218431

Discussion

kylewm: is there any sort of comparison that explains the relationship between mf, microdata, schema.org, AS1/2, JSON-LD, RDFa, turtle, n3, etc.? I have a lot of trouble understanding e.g., which things are syntax and which are vocabularies and which are the same or successors to each other [09:36]

tommorris: kylewm: schema.org is a vocabulary. microformats used to be syntax+vocab, now those have been separated in mf2. JSON-LD is a layer of RDFing translation on top of JSON (think of it like an 'RDF stylesheet'!)

tommorris: kylewm: Notation3 is an RDF syntax that's human readable. RDFa is RDF in HTML.

tommorris: kylewm: microdata is Hixie's reimplementation of RDFa's use cases but without RDFa's RDFisms.

tommorris: kylewm: turtle and N3 are so similar you can just treat them as one. there are a few minor differences but just treat N3 as a superset of Turtle

tommorris: kylewm: ActivityStreams 1 is based on Atom. AS2 is based on JSON (and/or JSON-LD and/or a few other things to be determined)

A draft in the context of the indieweb refers to a draft post, a post that an author has partially written, or otherwise does not consider finished.

Contents

Why

Drafts are useful for private or semi-public sharing with others for review and feedback before official publication and POSSEing.

IndieWeb Examples

Some IndieWeb community members are using scheduling to publish drafts at otherwise public URLs, but not have them show up on their homepage (e.g. in their composite stream) or legacy feed file.

WordPress has a draft feature that allows you to save a draft and share a URL to a draft post which does not show up on your home page or any feeds.

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWebCamp wiki by expanding it.



JSON form encoded is shorthand for offhand references to "just post JSON to the server" type expressions that appear to be used by cargo cult users of JSON and variants thereof, and has non-trivial implementation issues compared to the well-understood and well-supported plain form-encoded approach.

Lack of support

JSON does not have as wide support for POST requests compared to form-encoded requests.

In most web frameworks you have to jump through hoops to read the raw POST data if it's JSON format.

A Google search can confirm that lots of people are confused about how to handle JSON POST requests: how to receive JSON post in php, ruby, python, node

Imprecise - what MIME type

"JSON form encoded" is imprecise.

What MIME type are you supposed to use to upload? I.e. stack overflow confusion

  • application/json
  • multipart/form-data
  • or application/ld+json

  • IndieWeb sites with permalinks with slugs of search terms
  • Silos with permalinks with slugs of search terms
  • IndieWeb sites with permalinks without slugs
  • Other silo results

E.g. searching for "emailefail"

fever is a propriety, single user, self-hosted, traditional Google reader style feed reader that costs a one time fee of $30 and only works on a single domain due to built in DRM and is written in php. It has some interesting "sparks and trends" features which de-dupe articles in order to create a "fever" view of links that many articles link to.



People who use fever

  • Bret Comnes - I used to run fever until malformed feeds hosed the backend DB. It has a single developer, has a non-open source license, contains many bugs and never gets updated. Do not recommend especially with all the other options these days.
