I recently came across IndieWebCamp. Its answers so many questions I've had
#
prtksxna
I am working on making my own website better for now…
#
GWG
What is your site?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "your site" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=your+site
#
prtksxna
Just my personal site - http://prtksxna.com/
Guerillero joined the channel
#
prtksxna
There is a lot of do for now. I don't have microformats set-up correctly
#
GWG
What do you want to do next?
#
prtksxna
I am not sure about RSS spamming. I have some post types that are pretty small and I am not sure if I want someone who is subscribed to my feed to see all of them. I know that kind of beats the purpose but I feel that it might be TMI
#
prtksxna
GWG: Get the basics right first. I know I want it to be on top of Wordpress but I am unsure of my current approach - https://github.com/prtksxna/feedme/issues
#
GWG
Well, welcome aboard.
#
GWG
Always happy to have another WordPress user onboard
#
prtksxna
What do you use to consume RSS feeds?
#
GWG
At the moment, TT-RSS
#
GWG
But there are Indieweb feed readers being worked on
#
prtksxna
I see, do you face the the RSS issue I mentioned?
#
GWG
I run my own installation
#
prtksxna
I am also unsure of how to syndicate certain kinds of content like check-ins…
#
GWG
prtksxna: It is something many people are working on.
#
GWG
I'm not sure who is working on Check-Ins for WordPress. I started a project but didn't take it far.
#
prtksxna
That is good to know, any projects in particular worth following
#
prtksxna
I wrote check-in support for my theme but I am unsure of syndication on RSS
#
GWG
Well, a lot of individual work is documented on the wiki
#
prtksxna
I saw some of it. Will take a deeper look over the weekend.
#
prtksxna

#
bret
ill check it out snarfed!
#
KartikPrabhu
hm more Wordpress people... good!
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: Makes me think I should be advocating more
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: the best way to advocate IMO is to have a great site of your own that does things
#
GWG
I'm working on it. Slowly
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: nice theme on your site. neat and clean
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: Thanks, I finished it recently. Still needs a lot of work :)

ok might have started an argument there ^

#
prtksxna
I could never understand the point of Medium. Its like wordpress.com with content curation, right?
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: to be fair it offers a much better UI for posting as well as "comments"
#
KartikPrabhu
but it is not a choice between Medium and indieweb if you want to own your data
#
prtksxna
Its interesting how things become popular because they get a fresh coat of paint.
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: and it is not like wordpress in that you can't host your own instance of wordpress
#
KartikPrabhu
sorry you can of wordpress but not Medium
#
prtksxna
That is why I said wordpress.com
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: yup I did catch that :)
#
KartikPrabhu
but still Medium has slicker UI and so on...
#
prtksxna
applies paint to #indieweb to make it slicker
#
KartikPrabhu
not needed :P
#
prtksxna
That is what I hoped. But it isn't true if the masses are to adopt.
#
prtksxna
Isn't that what you were saying?
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: in my own cynical view masses seems to adopt whatever is new and shiny
#
KartikPrabhu
to plug my own stuff you can have paragraph level comments on the indieweb see: https://github.com/kartikprabhu/marginalia and an example post is: https://kartikprabhu.com/article/marginalia
#
KartikPrabhu
take that Medium
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: i was looking at this yesterday :)
#
prtksxna
Realized only now that those tiny icons were clickable :|
#
KartikPrabhu
haha! it isn't obvious like most UI elements/icons you make up
#
prtksxna
Too obscure for me. And that's when I was actively trying to look for one.
#
KartikPrabhu
but I tried to make them similar to Medium's icons and also the "accepted" icon for comments
#
prtksxna
Oh, I am not familiar with medium icons either.
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: love to have feedback. if you are not indieweb enough you can always comment using Twitter on: https://twitter.com/kartik_prabhu/status/483362431746322435
#
KartikPrabhu
he! Loqi avoids G+!
#
Loqi
who, me?
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: That was all the feedback I have :) Sorry, not indieweb enough yet and don't want to use Twitter either.
#
KartikPrabhu
fair enough! good feedback nevertheless. I did realise that those icons might not be enough. but not sure how to solve the problem
#
KartikPrabhu
any suggestions are welcome
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: Maybe have them lined up on one side? That way I'll always know where to look to find one, instead of having to jump from one paragraph ending another.
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: you feel that the diff positioning makes them seem irrelevant?
#
prtksxna
Not irrelevant, just hard to find. They are also easier to miss because they are just outlines and not a full solid.
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: good point. I made the outline because it was more colour-blind friendly. I will think about it!
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: Very rare cases of colorblindness cause complete color blindness. If you keep your hues far apart there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: true. but my site is based on a green-red theme and I did have bear complain about it at indiewebcamp NYC :)
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: I usually use http://webaim.org/articles/visual/colorblind to test
#
prtksxna
KartikPrabhu: Ah! I am sure we can find a way around that :)
#
prtksxna
(btw - see how its usually just one channel that is impaired)
#
KartikPrabhu
that would be the best! I am open to suggestion, being not a web-dev
#
prtksxna
So you just want one normal and one active state, is that right?
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: yes. I do understand the mechanics of colour blindness but that does not mean I understand how to get around it :)
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: yup
#
prtksxna
Aha! Just switch it. Keeping it solid will make it noticeable and if its only outline on click people already know where it is.
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: hmm that is very good. the solid state will bring attention to it and people who have cliked are more likely to know that it will be in outline mode

KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: you do indieweb most things. you should get on the microformats+webmention thing
#
KartikPrabhu
what is microformats?
#
Loqi
microformats are extensions to HTML for marking up people, organizations, events, locations, blog posts, products, reviews, resumes, recipes etc https://indiewebcamp.com/microformats
#
KartikPrabhu
what is webmention?
#
Loqi
Webmention is a simple way to notify any URL when you link to it on your site https://indiewebcamp.com/Webmention
#
prtksxna
I've known about these technologies for quite some time now (microformats at least)
#
KartikPrabhu
prtksxna: to be fair microformats has been most used here on the indieweb to actually do something (like comments) rather than pander to search engines and SEO people
#
prtksxna
Works takes up a lot of time. I'll probably get everything done over the holidays.
#
KartikPrabhu
yup. I get that compeltely

does anyone know of any free services for managing email on my own domain? like the old outlook and google apps used to allow
#
KartikPrabhu
what is email?
#
Loqi
Email is a decentralized, non-web messaging transport https://indiewebcamp.com/email
#
petermolnar
julian`` by managing mail you mean sending and receiving with your own domain?
#
julian``
yeah
#
julian``
and setting up new accounts would be cool though im not sure many sites would offer this service for free
#
petermolnar
the cleanest way is to have a 5$/month Virtual Private Server from DigitalOcean with a small linux on it with, for example, Postfix + Dovecot
LauraJ and sanduhrs joined the channel
#
julian``
my site is already hosted at digitalocean so ill look into postfix and dovecot ty
#
petermolnar
I wrote a little semi-tutorial on setting up a mailserver a little while ago: https://petermolnar.eu/linux-tech-coding/debian-lightweight-mailserver-postfix-dovecot-dspam/
#
petermolnar
it might help
#
KartikPrabhu
julian``: fwiw I use my domain providers service to forward everything to my gmail. not the best indieweb solution but still it workd
#
petermolnar
KartikPrabhu you could do that with a postfix + an alias file as well
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: oh did not know that. actually I don't know what hose mean even :P
#
petermolnar
there are several Mail Transfer Agents ( MTA ) for short for linux; they are the "SMTP" servers, communicating ( sending and receiving ) mails from other hosts
#
petermolnar
exim and postfix are the big names, but there are others
#
petermolnar
the IMAP servers are to serve the mails to the clients; the big names here are Cyrus and Docevot
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: of course. but a less technical alternative would be useful (even for what I've done)
#
petermolnar
that has a webGUI for setting these things up
#
petermolnar
but it's a bit heavy
#
petermolnar
and usually not offered by VPS providers
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
petermolnar
and there is also Virtualmin which can manage virtual hosts and mails as well
#
petermolnar
I used to use both a long time ago
#
KartikPrabhu
petermolnar: since you have eperience you should document those on /email
#
petermolnar
experience from ~4 years ago are more or less invalid nowadays :)
#
petermolnar
although I can mention them as possible solutions
#
KartikPrabhu
yes that would be good too. some documentation is better than none

testing known to twitter crossposting, as it was bugging for me recently: https://ampoliros.net/2014/unfortunately-time-has-stopped this one got to twitter, but bridgy is not detecting any responses

actually brid.gy tells me " No post links found "
#
michielbdejong
hugoroyd: there is indeed no link back from https://twitter.com/hugoroyd/status/545163163726270464 to your site

hugoroyd
michielbdejong: yeah but i see on other examples that it shuold work anyway
#
michielbdejong
hm, not sure how bridgy did that. looks like https://indiewebcamp.com/original-post-discovery would require a link to the original
#
hugoroyd

#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: does it work on your Known instance?

maybe benwerd isn't using bridgy?

#
michielbdejong
on https://www.brid.gy/twitter/michielbdejong# it just says 'failed', different from your error
#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: that's because your own original post was a reply to verge
#
hugoroyd
so it's trying to send the mention to the verge
#
michielbdejong
but where did it find the original post URL then?
#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: i also replied from known, but it's not showing either :-/
#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: probably on known, i don't see where else
#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: which makes me wondering why it can't always get twitter feedback
#
michielbdejong
you think it just scrapes my home page in search of a post with a similar text?
#
hugoroyd
no idea
#
michielbdejong
or Known tells brid.gy about it?
#
michielbdejong
it's mysterious :)
#
hugoroyd
yes!
#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: most mysterious is why https://ampoliros.net/2014/testing-known-reply-to-michielbdejongs-known-through-twitter-too-- isn't showing :)
#
hugoroyd
michielbdejong: oh, maybe it's trying to send the reply back to the verge too? That'd be confusing
#
michielbdejong
it says no end-point found there
#
michielbdejong
oh, maybe i know how it works
#
michielbdejong
but this is just guessing
#
michielbdejong
it could tell my server that there is a reply to my tweet, instead of to my post
#
michielbdejong
and Known could then work out which post it was
#
michielbdejong
but i'm not even sure if that's allowed in webmention

I was using your FFPC plugin to get ideas on how to add to something I needed to get running quickly
#
petermolnar
glad it helped :)
#
GWG
petermolnar: I'm not sure I want to do much in the way of caching plugin writing.
#
GWG
If you are interested
#
petermolnar
approaching from nginx is another way, the issue is that many of the WordPress installations out there is still under apache
#
GWG
Well, this is a specific use case. Many people using fastcgi caching under Nginx install the nginx-cache-purge module.
#
GWG
This is based on something someone came up with to avoid it.
#
GWG
You set a header to, when used, invalidate the cache
#
GWG
So, no one had a plugin for that

petermolnar: Hiccup?

petermolnar
neither do I
#
GWG
I wonder why. It works.
#
petermolnar
probably no one thought about it earlier
#
petermolnar
but the idea is nice, although I'd restrict that access somehow
#
GWG
To send the header?
#
petermolnar
if anyone case use a header to invalidate an entry it could be used for ddos
verdi_ joined the channel
#
GWG
Yes. So far, no one has, but if it becomes more popular...
#
petermolnar
my guess would be that no big fish used it yet, so no attack based on this yet
#
GWG
I have to look at it to figure out how to restrict it.
#
GWG
Nginx doesn't support nested ifs. They hate ifs in general

hey adactio, any idea why huffduffer isn't pulling in any of my rel=me links? https://huffduffer.com/benroberts
#
snarfed
so, bridgy finds benwerd's original post on werd.io and sends responses back because it sees http://werd.io/ in his twitter profile, crawls it, and finds rel-syndication links
#
snarfed
hugoroyd: it's not doing that for you in this case because ampoliros.net isn't in your twitter profile
#
hugoroyd
snarfed: ha, that's annoying!

GWG, its picking the others up as just mentions (which is a problem on my side), but if you look at https://brid-gy.appspot.com/like/facebook/14305603/10101270139267664/752481179

view source, has both with and without the slash, so it makes sense to send it twice, but why does it have both?

(in practice they're usually the same page, but technically they are different URLs, so bridgy's conservative)

"DandyID lets you easily collect all of your online profiles in one convenient place and allows people to discover the real verified you across the web." <-- isn't that what your own website is for?
#

also they have three patents? wut?

what is DandyID?

It looks like we don't have a page for "DandyID" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=DandyID

yeah, i saw that, didn't look in to what the patents are on yet
#
aaronpk
https://www.google.com/patents/US20100042680 "Internet identity graph and social graph management system and method"
#
tantek
aaronpk - you should know better than to look into patents
#
ben_thatmustbeme
a more interesting issue though is now i'll need to look in to php-comments, a trailing / vs not trailing slash leads it to misinterpret it as a mention instead of a comment
#
ben_thatmustbeme
though i suppose that would be correct
#
aaronpk
"trailing slash" is misleading. they are completely separate URLs
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i believe i ALWAYS show with a /, but requesting without the / does not do a redirect
#
ben_thatmustbeme
it returns 200
#
aaronpk
the only exception is a raw domain has an implied slash since you can't have a full URL with no path
#
aaronpk
otherwise you can't assume the URLs are the same
#
tantek
aaronpk - and now that you've posted publicly about one in particular that mentions "social" which thus likely overlaps the W3C Social Web WG, you're obligated (per your agreement to the group) to disclose to the WG that you found that.

#

#
tantek
aaronpk - as a CTO, you should know better than that :P
#
tantek
unfortunately no heh about it - it can potentially be quite a painful mistake
#
kylewm
ben_thatmustbeme: it's bridgy's markup that differentiates the slash as a mention, php-comments is doing the right thing
#
aaronpk
it appears to be a patent for their website. the figures document their website signup flow and such
#
kylewm
bridgy considers one the canonical original and the other a u-mention
#
tantek
aaronpk - you're not listening. "you should know better than to look ***into*** patents"
#
aaronpk
well it's too late now that i've opened it
#
tantek
you're not helping by writing about it
#
@t
Absolute comparison arguments are of little utility. E.g. * two sides to … * either … or * fair & balanced #spectrums (ttk.me t4Z_1)
(twitter.com/_/status/542814233919234049)
#
tantek
e.g. in this case being "too late" or implied, not.
#
tantek
such absolute reasoning in real world situations often leads to errors in justification of actions (or lack of action)
#
tantek
aaronpk, at this point I'm pretty sure the only remaining obligation you have is to email the Social Web WG with a heads-up about it, since you publicly admitted to discovering it and that it mentions "social" and "web".
#
tantek
also as an op in this channel and indiewebcamp admin - if anyone else brings up anything about patents or a patent, I expect you to respond similarly as I did above to your statements.
wolftune joined the channel
#
aaronpk
those obligations are specifically because of my W3C involvement though, yes? or do we need to worry about patent disclosures on the research going into the indiewebcamp wiki?

tantek
we should likely make a similar policy about avoiding that on the indiewebcamp wiki as well
#
Loqi
I agree

I believe we have such a policy on microformats.org already

tantek
aaronpk re: trailing slash not existing, the example you gave of http://aaronparecki.com vs. http://aaronparecki.com/ is not the same as ben_thatmustbeme's permalinks

aaronpk
correct
#
aaronpk
I was saying http://aaronparecki.com is an incomplete URL since there is no path component

so it's okay to imply (or add) the slash

I believe that's what the URL standard says to do to "fix" that URL

#
aaronpk
snarfed: here is an example of what I was talking about ^
#
aaronpk
because the URL in parens doesn't have the URL of the person who RT'd
#
snarfed
aaronpk: oh sure. i still agree; for twitter, we should show their handle
#
aaronpk
ok cool
#
snarfed
i think i still vote for name instead of domain in the native (non-bridgy) case, but i could be swayed
#
aaronpk
I think I agree. I want to find more exmaples of what that'd look like though
#
tantek
is this use-case documented somewhere we can understand the context / iterations of design?
#
tantek
since you're arguing "for name instead of domain"
#
tantek
what is webmention.io?
#
Loqi
webmention.io is an open-source project and hosted service for receiving webmentions and pingbacks on behalf of your indieweb site https://indiewebcamp.com/webmention.io
#
aaronpk
did we have a github thread going for this?
#
tantek
thread is no bueno. need documentation of current state.
#
tantek
current state in this case is, current understood/known "best practice"
#
aaronpk
but the current state is in flux!
#
tantek
that's the point of capturing it on the wiki!
#
tantek
so you can cite previous iterations
#
tantek
while you deliberately evolve it
#
tantek
flux is an even stronger reason to capture current state
#
tantek
otherwise all those kinds of discussions/reasonings are lost to minds that came up with them
#
aaronpk
i think it's interesting that we're essentially creating an activity stream in sentences, but without any machine-readable markup or any intent on machines parsing the sentence
#
aaronpk
instead we're deriving a human-readable sentence from the mf2 properties that exist on the object
#
tantek
perhaps implying it may be possible to make that a reversible transform
#
tantek
do you have documentation of that "deriving" somewhere?
#
aaronpk
no, just code
#
tantek
is that a reasonable framing and place to start that documentation ?
#
tantek
of at least what your existing code does?
#
aaronpk
yes i believe so
#
aaronpk
we are taking h-entries and turning them into a human-readable sentence describing the h-entry
#
tantek
(took me that long to even remotely understand the scope of what you were doing - to come up with a suggested page name for it!)

"just notification, it's cleaner"

aaronpk
specifically thinking of this: https://indiewebcamp.com/mention-app
#
tantek
like that list of things that popup on your mobile device in locked mode?
#
tantek
is there a name for those?
#
aaronpk
usually push notifications
#
aaronpk
i just didn't wnat to potentially confuse with "PuSH"
#
tantek
do those show up on people's laptops when theyr'e in screen saver lock mode?
#
aaronpk
but iOS, Android and Windows all call them push notifications
#
aaronpk
I believe OSX has it too, also called push notifications
#
tantek
yes - the "push" borderline plumbing
#
tantek
or rather it's an orthogonal aspect
#
tantek
to the visual presentation
#
aaronpk
in that case the "push" implies realtime
#
aaronpk
not plumbing
#
tantek
might as well just call them "interruptive notifications"
#
tantek
by function rather than aspect
#
bret
aaronpk: yeah safari, chrome and FF support web notifications for open pages, but os x also supports apple push to desktop from web now I think
#
tantek
is growl another example of this?
#
bret
so the website does not need to be open
#
aaronpk
growl notifications are usually not generated remotely, so it's borderline
#
bret
growl was replaced by notification center i think
#
tantek
growl was a 3rd party thing
#
tantek
how was it "replaced by" then?
#
bret
right
#
aaronpk
"made obsolete by"?
#
bret
well, why use growl when your system has that function now?
#
snarfed
s/was/is/. it's a *nix thing, not just mac.
#
bret
oh yeah thats true
#
tantek
what is growl?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "growl" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=growl
#
tantek
snarfed, you seem to know more about growl ;)
#
aaronpk
anyway the thing people usually associate with "push notification" is that an app can send a message to your device without the app being open, and the notifications usually come from a remote service, not generated by the device

so a "remote service" "can send a message to your device without the [remote service's] app being open" then?

what is a notification?

notifications in the context of the IndieWeb refer to all forms and ways that an independent web site can receive a message indicating something of interest (server notifications), and potentially relay that information (preferably in realtime) to one or more devices used by the owner of that site (client notifications) https://indiewebcamp.com/notification

what is a client notification?
#

It looks like we don't have a page for "client notification" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=client+notification

what is a mobile notification?

It looks like we don't have a page for "mobile notification" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=mobile+notification

aaronpk
now i'm leaning towards just keeping it as "push notification"
#
aaronpk
beacause nobody really says mobile notification
#
aaronpk
and we can deal with talking about PuSH the plumbing explicitily
#
aaronpk
yeah i'm reconsidering the usefulness of that edit
