JonathanNeal
what's the t.co redirect problem?
#
tantek
posted above
#
tantek
and how have I not known about viewsource.in?!?
#
tantek
that's awesome JonathanNeal - thanks for the heads up!
#
JonathanNeal
Yea, I would love to improve the design, but yea, it's cool.
#
tantek
and you just found a bug in a cassis function
#
tantek
web_address_to_uri in particular
#
tantek
aside: whoa - new in-stream reply-contexts on Twitter home page!
#
tantek
you guys seeing this?
#
JonathanNeal
screenshot?

uploaded /File:twitter-home-in-stream-reply-context.png "screenshot of Twitter home page stream fragment showing two retweets sandwiching an @-reply tweet that by default shows a reply-context of the person being replied to with smaller icon, and original text being replied to, same font."

aaronpk, barnabywalters - check this out! http://indiewebcamp.com/reply-context#Twitter_home_page
#
tantek
thanks for catching that

tantek: that looks really good
#
JonathanNeal
both the inline comments and the code
#
JonathanNeal
It got pushed in so seamlessly, that I didn't notice.
#
tantek
which?
#
tantek
the reply-context on Twitter.com?
#
@cassisjs
[cassis] https://t.co/j3cPC3cTTR Tantek Çelik - Twitter profile URLs are canonically https. ht: @jon_neal
#
tantek
(just curious if that actually works - I put your Twitter handle in the commit comments and it got automatically tweeted)
#
tantek
that'll fix that bug for everyone who's using the cassis.js auto_link function
#
JonathanNeal
That's awesome.
#
tantek
thanks again for the find
#
JonathanNeal
Advice question, should view-source.in and viewsource.in both work on their respective domains, or should one redirect to the other?
#
JonathanNeal
Well then.

Wow the logs' font size is now way too big on iOS safari :(
#
tantek
Suggestion: make the logs mobile font size the same as iOS Colloquy
#
tantek
cc: aaronpk
#
tantek
It's particularly a pain because of having to scroll more to get to the bottom :/

an anchor called #bottom might help

#
bret
i like the big irc chat font
#
bret
a bottom anchor in the titlebar would be usefull though
#
bret
although tbh, iOS safari should have scaled scrolling when browsing long pages, like it does for the address book or music list
#
pdurbin
the big font looks great on android
#
bret
I think it looks pretty good on iOS too!
#
pdurbin
oh. :)
#
bret
going horizontal screws up, but verticle looks good too!
#
bret
errr verticle looks good, horizontal bad
#
bret
thats the good picture

JonathanNeal: awesome that https://github.com/jonathantneal/viewsource is open source :)
#
JonathanNeal
thanks, how did you find the repo, btw?
#
pdurbin
with my brain
#
bret
that view source thing great!
#
JonathanNeal
thanks, pdurbin, i was wondering if you found it by view sourcing view source.
#
JonathanNeal
I just upgraded it so that you can use view-source too, that way turning Chrome view source URLs into web urls is easy.
#
JonathanNeal
And if you press r twice, it will render the source code http://viewsource.in/indiewebcamp.com

#
bret
does anyone know of a good resource introducing dom manipulation using javascript?
#
cweiske
with pure js as the browers offer it, or with help?
#
bret
pure js
#
michielbdejong
bret: mdn is a good starting point, always (mozilla developer network)
#
cweiske
most people use the jQuery library today, because it's so much easier than pure js
#
michielbdejong
oh right, yeah, that's probably a better suggestion :)
#
bret
i didnt see that page, I was jumping between things that sounded like they might be useful
#
cweiske
I also prefer MDN for js docs
#
bret
in the wiki, but when I do that it seems like i might overlooking some of my tools
#
michielbdejong
bret: jQuery is probably easier
#
bret
i wanted to avoid jquery, seems kind of overkill for the things I am doing
#
bret
i have it on my site already, but long term I wanted to get it out of there
#
bret
so much I could do, so little time
#
michielbdejong
if you have a specific question about how to do something, i could also try to help, just ask me :)
#
bret
ok, ill keep that in mind
#
bret
so far I'm not totally stuck, but if you are interested in giving feedback once I get something going that would be awsome
#
bret
the wiki is a good reference, but this video so far has been decent
#
cweiske
i can't understand why people prefer videos for documentation
#
bret
its for an introduction
#
bret
watching someone do something else the first time is helpfull for me

erikmaarten
good evening/morning!
#
erikmaarten
question about IndieAuth -- do I have to use an http GET request to verify the token?
#
erikmaarten
and second, for how long is each token valid?
#
tommorris
not sure about the first question. but on the second one, quite a while
#
tommorris
isn't an indieauth expert, that's aaronpk's domain. ;)
#
erikmaarten
just thinking, doesn't that make it rather easy for an Eve to eavesdrop on the plaintext token that is sent?
#
erikmaarten
especially if I were to use an open wifi network
#
erikmaarten
s/use/use it/
#
Loqi
erikmaarten meant to say: especially if I were to use it an open wifi network
#
erikmaarten
(failure again, haha)
#
Loqi
nice
#
erikmaarten
no Loqi, that's the opposite to nice
#
Loqi
woot!
#
erikmaarten
about the token, I guess it doesn't matter much if anyone else gets hold of it, since my site only verifies logins through the IndieAuth server...

!tell sandeepshetty whoa thanks for the crazy bug report! looks like some file permission error on my site. I don't think anybody has sent a webmention to an article yet. Try sending to one of my notes or replies and it should pull in your comment on the note's page

#
tommorris
sandeepshetty, aaronpk: a few years ago, "privacy" was that. basically every discussion around OpenID and microformats, FOAF, DiSo eventually ended up with someone saying "yeah, but privacy is REALLY REALLY REALLY hard"
#
sandeepshetty
and should be implementing receiving webmentions when I'm back...
#
tommorris
as if people weren't aware of that.

JonathanNeal: viewsouce.in is awesome!
#
JonathanNeal
thanks, aaronpk. I am always looking to improve it. The home page could use a huge scoop of design / skeuminimalism.
#
JonathanNeal
As it stands, it is bare, and yet messy.
#
JonathanNeal
So, if you're a designer, and you like the project, please contribute :)

#

hi tantek
#
tantek
and all caught up. hey JonathanNeal
#
JonathanNeal
i'll be in and out for a little bit while i review our new house with the landlord.
#
JonathanNeal
they are pull up the carpet right now because the last tenants got pee all over it.
#
tantek
oh dear - good luck!
#
tantek
I just popped in to see if any of you folks implementing reply contexts saw this what you thought: http://indiewebcamp.com/reply-context#Twitter_home_page (cc: aaronpk, barnabywalters)
#
tantek
e.g. does that make you consider putting your replies in your stream of notes?
#
tantek
bbiab
#
aaronpk
I like it
#
aaronpk
i was actually considering doing that
#
tantek
the little vertical gray line is a bit curious
#
tantek
I think I prefer the "indent/blockquote the original" approach
#
aaronpk
yea, the gray line feels like it's adding some meaning that isn't there
#
aaronpk
the other one I want to add is showing my own reply on the notes in my tag list: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8543/8950161156_5bfc0b8e9f_o.png
#
tantek
I kinda feel like, if you have to add grey lines, maybe your layout isn't quite right
#
tantek
so, anyone have any issues they'd like to bring up with the W3C Advisory Board, because, http://www.w3.org/News/2013.html#entry-9856 :)

I understand.
#
JonathanNeal
So maybe including the modified date of the document in the url could help.
#
JonathanNeal
Optionally.
#
JonathanNeal
That way, if it matters when the document has changed, it can alert you.
jfranusi_ joined the channel

yep, but I don't understand how that could be *optional*?

sandeepshetty: many "indie" sites that are dynamically generated forget to include modified headers.

In that event, the site would always appear to be out of sync.
