cophee, sorry to hear that

cophee
[tantek]: I think the worst part of it was losing the drawings I did when I was a teen – the account was 6 years old and really showed my growth as an artist

what was the mind mapping software?

It looks like we don't have a page for "mind mapping software" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "mind mapping software is ____", a sentence describing the term)

#
cophee
When I think of a feed that aggregates website content + allows interactivity, the first thing that comes to mind is Tumblr
#
cophee
that is true
#
cophee
i feel the same way about blogging vs social media
#
cophee
tumblr had a bit of both i think before it fell off
#
cophee
also what about private vs public posts (e.g. separation between professional or private feeds)
#
GWG
cophee: We always have issues with private
#
cophee
i see
#
pcarrier
private as in pseudonymous identity disconnected from your work identity but public content, or content that only (authenticated) viewers should see, or both?
#
pcarrier
[edit] private as in pseudonymous identity disconnected from your work identity, or content that only (authenticated) viewers should see, or both?
#
pcarrier
[edit] private as in pseudonymous identity disconnected from your work identity, or content that only (authenticated) viewers should see, or both? for the former, seems you'd "automatically" want a separate website

#
cophee
@pcarrier for example people making private instagram accounts where only authenticated viewers can see
#
cophee
I think a lot of people are more content consumers than producers on Instagram
#
cophee
A website my partner + I are working on has a shortened version of our content in the home page
#
cophee
but i think i agree with the short posts belonging to the home page
#
cophee
or on our own page
#
cophee
it's similar to how people post images without captions on Instagram
#
cophee
but like to use it just to keep a log of their daily lives
#
capjamesg
Interesting Wing[d] !
#
capjamesg
I think a lot of people use Stories on Instagram as a life log.
#
capjamesg
I used to use it for making collections of photos from travels.
#
capjamesg
Then I found out Instagram use images to train ML models, so I deleted everythign.
#
cophee
capjamesg[d]: yes! I think a lot of people I know use it for the temporal aspect
#
capjamesg
*everything
#
cophee
as well
#
cophee
HAHAHA
#
capjamesg
Yeah 😂

everybody has Meta accounts though. I don't want to sign up / confirm-email-or-the-like on every website I'd consume protected content from. I also don't want to deal with SAML/OIDC/…, neither as a visitor nor as a publisher

pcarrier[d]: would indieauth help with this?
#
pcarrier
indielogin is cute, but what do you expect my sister to enter? 😄
#
pcarrier
[edit] indielogin is cute and serves the needs of our community, but what do you expect my sister to enter? 😄
#
cophee
that is so true
#
cophee
pcarrier[d]: i was discussing this with my partner and he said that it would be hard to get normal people on board
#
cophee
+ results from my survey from friends also show that the complicated part of setting up a website might be a bar of entry from them
#
cophee
is it possible to simplify the process of creating/hosting a website with everything in one package?
#
pcarrier
oh yeah
#
pcarrier
add a <Start a free profile> button that goes to, IDK, https://new.ident.me, where you can register wing.ident.me with an E-mail address in 1 minute
#
pcarrier
[edit] add a <Start a free profile> button that goes to, IDK, https://new.ident.me, where you can register wing.ident.me with an pseudonym + E-mail address in 1 minute

#
pcarrier

#
cophee
my partner's in tech as well and he said that if making a pseudonym/website is as easy as making an email address, it would work a lot better for the normal folks
#
pcarrier
there is linktr.ee
#
cophee
yes!
#
cophee
a lot of people love it since it's so easy
#
pcarrier
well, couldn't you use linktr.ee with indieauth?
#
cophee
i have no idea hahaha
#
cophee
but then that also poses the threat of if the service shuts down
#
pcarrier
that's always going to be true, unless you pay for your own domain name every year and manage where it points to…
#
pcarrier
[edit] that's always going to be true, unless you pay for your own domain name every year / few years and manage where it points to…
#
cophee
yeah...
#
pcarrier
ah, linktr.ee doesn't `rel="me"`, otherwise I think it'd work
#
cophee
what if there's an indieweb ver of it?
#
pcarrier
what would make it more "indieweb"? bring your own domain?
#
pcarrier
[edit] what would make it more "indieweb"? bring your own domain? open source so it can be self-hosted?
#
cophee
pcarrier[d]: I guess so!
#
pcarrier
[edit] what would make it more "indieweb"? bring your own domain? open source so it can be self-hosted? microformats like `rel="me"`?
#
Loqi
hey pcarrier: can you move the tech talk (open source, Microformats) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
capjamesg
Wing[d] How did you make your hello animation?
#
cophee
capjamesg[d] I wrote the characters/letters on my iPad on Vectornator and then exported it as an SVG to my computer
#
cophee
And then used CSS stroke path animations!
#
cophee
Only the fading in/out for different languages was done using some JQuery
#
[tantek]
indeed, if people can make a linktree, they can make a personal site
#
cophee
I like this one: https://mylinks.ai/cafeclub as an alternative to linktree
#
cophee
I used it for my old uni soc and it shows a preview of our Instagram posts
#
cophee
[edit] I like this one: https://mylinks.ai/cafeclub as an alternative to linktree
#
cophee
if it has microformats that would be awesome 😆
#
cophee
having the ability to aggregate all your feeds on a home page + maybe even publish to it
#
cophee
[edit] if it has microformats that would be awesome 😆
#
[tantek]
cophee why not have yourdomain/links instead?
#
cophee
having the ability to aggregate all your feeds on a home page + even publish to it
#
cophee
[tantek]: 100%, I just use that for my university society since we didn't have a website

jeeesus, https://linktr.ee/pcarrier is 3.5MB resources / 1MB transferred

what about anonymous comment boxes for people without webmentions + let them add an email address or name if they want to
#

might be harder to moderate but can potentially ban from IP

Readwise is great - I’m a paid user of their Reader app, which is separate from just the focused annotation tool.
#
[Al_Abut]
It’s so powerful with tags and summarization that it’s basically become my bookmarking datastore.
#
[Al_Abut]
Question for [capjamesg] - could you send a book page a webmention? In a sort of “I’m also reading this book” kind of way.
