In case you're still looking for a Reader replacement and don't want to use tt-rss, GoRead is impressive https://github.com/mjibson/goread
#
barnabywalters
bnvk: RE damage control — *thank you*
#
barnabywalters
I’ve been avoiding that thread like the plague :)
#
barnabywalters
checking indieauth now…
#
bnvk
It's really fascinating how haters come out of the woodwork and start complaining that apples are oranges!
#
cweiske
kind of funny that someone builds a google reader replacement that only works with google sign in and on google app engine
#
neuro`
bnvk: haters and morons are the reason why I don't read comments anymore.
#
neuro`
I think I'll close them as soon as I implement Web mention: if you want to comment, do it from your place.
#
barnabywalters
bnvk: which IA auth providers were you trying? github just worked fine for me
#
barnabywalters
bnvk: yeah, and getting thoroughly confused (“they got $200,000 and they still haven’t built anything”)
#
bnvk
Yah... Web Mentions are the most exciting thing to combat spam & trolls I'm aware of
#
bnvk
barnabywalters: I tried Twitter and Github
#
barnabywalters
bnvk: hm, weird. from the exception it sounds like there’s a https -> http redirect going on somewhere
#
barnabywalters
so maybe check the protocols on your profile links?
#
neuro`
bnvk: unfortunately, I already built a spam machine using Web mention :(
#
barnabywalters
neuro`: wait, you built a spam machine?
#
bnvk
barnabywalters: all my links are HTTPS
#
neuro`
barnabywalters: I wanted to POC a theory I had about Webmention.
#
neuro`
It's only running locally
#
neuro`
And it won't leave my laptop
#
neuro`
running against 127.0.0.1:80 (netcay
#
neuro`
netcat)
#
barnabywalters
neuro`: did you learn anything worth documenting at http://indiewebcamp.com/spam?
#
cweiske
you can't have captchas in webmention
#
neuro`
barnabywalters: checking.
#
cweiske
but you could actually send the author of the mention a mail, asking for verification
#
cweiske
that'd actually be cool
hidgw joined the channel
#

bnvk: not sure what’s up with the redirect thing, I think it’s coming from here: https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/blob/master/lib/relparser.rb#L64
#
bnvk
barnabywalters: it was a different error when I used Twitter

Jihaisse
neuro`: it's seems unatural to me to not be able to comment directly from the website
#
neuro`
Jihaisse: I understand, but to be honnest, I'm more than sick with all the legit looking spam comments I get everyday
#
neuro`
Just because some SEO companies have noticed that I didn't want to break the Web going nofollow.
#
Jihaisse
I got some too
#
barnabywalters
Jihaisse: check out web actions for doing things like commenting on other sites using your own site without any need to authenticate between the two: http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4RRNLz/
#
Jihaisse
but it's a mess for now to write a webmention (with wordpress)
#
Jihaisse
barnabywalters: seems cool
#
Jihaisse
bookmarked it
#
barnabywalters
Jihaisse: cool, let me know if you want to try setting it up. adding action markup to your own site is super-easy, setting up your browser to actually use the markup is slightly more tricky
#
Jihaisse
barnabywalters: ok, I will give it a try later

Jihaisse let me know if you have some ideas to improve the webmention wordpress plugin

I noticed that <link rel="me"/> support is mentioned in a pretty recent commit to IndieAuth. How long until such a thing is likely to be supported on the IWC site?
#
hidgw
Procrastinating on modifying my homepage, I am
#
barnabywalters
hidgw: if it’s in the indieauth repo it should be actively supported on indieauth.com too

good morning indiewebcamp!

morning tantek
#
hidgw
I just realized I might have signed into the IWC site back when it supported OpenID. If I make IndieAuth work, will I get back into my old account after signing in with the same domain?
#
tantek
hidgw - so few people signed in with openid back in the day that aaronpk just does manual merges (I think)
#
tantek
or maybe we just redirected our old user pages to the new ones
#
tantek
the openid login for mediawiki was a very odd flow - didn't make much sense
#
hidgw
tantek: Thanks. I'll see what happens when I get the proper links set up.
#
hidgw
There are a lot of things about mediawiki that don't make much sense, I've found
#
hidgw
The Vector skin appears not to even show MediaWiki:Loginprompt any more

aaronpk, is the <link> patch live?
#
bnvk
but i'll check now just to be sure
#
aaronpk
bnvk: it looks like you logged in successfully a couple hours ago?
#
bnvk
yah, I manually changed the redirect URL in query string and pasted it in the browser :)
#
aaronpk
ah strange...
#
bnvk
yah, that github link is what the error was screenshotted from
#
aaronpk
bnvk: it's complaining that http://brennannovak.com is redirecting to https://brennannovak.com/. are you linking to the http version from your github?
#
bnvk
nope
#
aaronpk
bnvk: wow weird
#
bnvk
yah, I was a bit stumped, glad i'm not the only one :)
#
bnvk
if it's at all helpful- the one odd thing is the step 1 (select provider) shows my Icelandic #
#
bnvk
but my site doesn't have that number listed in the sources
#
aaronpk
that's the caching thing
#
bnvk
hrm, ok
#
aaronpk
if you hit re-scan it will go fetch your home page again
#
barnabywalters
I just tried rescanning brennannovak.com and it seems to have hung
#
aaronpk
give me a sec
#
barnabywalters
with error: Finding rel="me" links on http://brennannovak.com
#
barnabywalters
well, not error
#
aaronpk
oh yea you have to enter explicitly https:// if your site redirects
#
barnabywalters
yep, if I try with https:// it’s looking more promising
#
barnabywalters
apart from github, twitter, app.net not verifyinh
#
aaronpk
weird, it's like it's not finding the links on the remote site

how long should the verification take?

not that long, must be stuck

aaronpk
bnvk: argh how did you get it to work?
#
barnabywalters
bnvk: you are explicitly typing the https:// right?
#
bnvk
yes in the query string then pressing enter
#
aaronpk
bnvk: you have to also enter https in the login box for it to work, did you do that too?
#
bnvk
well, I've tried that
#
bnvk
does the same as when I enter brennannovak.com
#
aaronpk
ok the only thing you should be trying is entering https://brennannovak.com in the login box. can you do that, press re-scan, then try the github link?

#
cweiske
why does indieauth want to read my public repos?
#
cweiske
and my gists?
#
cweiske
my profile should be enough, shouldn't it?
#
aaronpk
because there isn't any smaller scope on github
#
barnabywalters
also, they’re public, so there’s effectively no difference
#
aaronpk
goes and looks
#
aaronpk
apparently there is a smaller scope now, so I will change it
#
aaronpk
but yes what barnabywalters said. it's already public
#
barnabywalters
this is a documented UX problem though
#
barnabywalters
I have spoken to people who are put off by apps listing the permissions they demand
#
barnabywalters
even if they’re all public
#
aaronpk
they'd rather not know? lol
#
aaronpk
http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes (no scope) public read-only access (includes public user profile info, public repo info, and gists)
#
aaronpk
this is why ^
#
aaronpk
because i'm not providing a scope parameter right now
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: it’s more of a “wall of things” problem — twitter’s asking for all this stuff, I can’t be bothered to read through it and decide whether or not I’m actually in danger

#
aaronpk
really want to post my trip itinerary for iwcUK as a private message on my site for people to see
#
aaronpk
rather than restrict access to individual URLs, I want to say "only people listed on http://indiewebcamp.com/2013/UK can see it"
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: ooh great idea
#
aaronpk
right now everyone on that page is listed as an attendee
#
aaronpk
which is great for an event, but I can imagine pretty quickly wanting to use it for access control that is not just event based, primary a "group"
#
barnabywalters
I hate the term “group” when applied to this sort of access control use case
#
aaronpk
e.g. I want to share with people in my office: https://geoloqi.com/about
#
barnabywalters
I love the specific use case you gave
#
aaronpk
i know, terminology is tricky, but this is a good use case
#
aaronpk
i also don't like managing groups in my facebook or g+ account
#
aaronpk
interestingly, in both of these examples, I'm basically delegating the management of the group to a third party
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: I don’t see how letting a URL be used for non-event based auth is a problem
#
barnabywalters
or limits it to only events
#
aaronpk
not a problem, just need a way to list people under something other than "attendees"
#
aaronpk
like "members"
#
barnabywalters
just say “any h-cards with urls and/or urls with XFN” found at this URL are in the group
#
aaronpk
hm, you think the "attendee" semantic is unnecessary?

Sounds potentially super unreliable
#
aaronpk
espn.com linked to this tweet, so the tweet shows the link from espn.com
#
aaronpk
except with their embeds, not just links
#
tantek
so I wonder if this is whitelisted or does everyone who embed a tweet get to show up on the tweet permalink
#
aaronpk
seems like it would be a ton of work to whitelist that
smus joined the channel
#
aaronpk
their examples are sites that also have twitter accounts, maybe it's limited to domains that map to a twitter account
#
tantek
aaronpk - or they just use their existing TwitterCards whitelist :/
#
aaronpk
ah could be the twittercard whitelist
#
aaronpk
which means I can experiment :)
#
tantek
note that they are currently showing "Related headlines" *above* replies: https://twitter.com/jasoncollins34/status/329000293373210625
#
tantek
that seems backwards
#
@jasoncollins34
All the support I have received today is truly inspirational. I knew that I was choosing the road less traveled but I'm not walking it alone
#
aaronpk
tantek: normally i'd agree, but since they have infinite scrolling on the reply list it make ssense to have the headlines above
#
bret
aaronpk: also, you totally link to a silo instead of your primary identity on the web on your business profile :p
#
aaronpk
heh, yea we all have our twitter accounts there
#
tantek
so how is twitter notified of the embedding? does it require someone to view the article that embeds the tweet and thus execute the Twitter embed JS?
#
aaronpk
i would imagine so
#
aaronpk
especially cause the first thing you're going to do when embeddeing a tweet is go look at it yourself
#
tantek
so … what would happen if the IndieWebCamp IRC logs used the Twitter embed JS for blockquoted tweets?
#
aaronpk
the logs would be super ugle
#
tantek
Do the articles themselves have to use TwitterCards?

#
aaronpk
i'm guessing yes. i just made this page and embedded one of your tweets: http://aaronparecki.com/2013-231-test-embedded-tweet
#
aaronpk
no twitter card yet, and it's not showing up
#
aaronpk
also not sure how long it will take before it's picked up. I know the twitter cards themselves have a short delay before the tweet permalink shows the card
#
aaronpk
my guess is twitter card is required which is where it gets the page title from

Hey, Twitter: WTF are you doing, adding "relevant" links to my posts? How about letting me decide what's relevant? https://blog.twitter.com/2013/new-headlines-feature-offers-story-behind-the-tweet
#
aaronpk
interestingly the techcrunch story does not appear on that tweet yet
#

well keep an eye on your tweet, tantek, we'll see if it shows up at some point: https://twitter.com/t/status/367798983131168768

Hi guys. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I dug up an old idea of replacing "traditional" search engines with a distributed query system. If anyone feels like working on it, I've posted some more details here http://blog.vrypan.net/2013/08/19/distributed-query-system/

tantek, unfortunately, zero. I had written some code (WP plugin) that could be a start, but it's been many years since, I don't even know where the code is.
#

Sounds like a neat idea, maybe it could become the basis of some kind of distributed consumption tool

bret - If it was used, I could search indiewebcamp.com for, say, "rss" and get answers from sites that are related to indieweb and have written something about RSS. Much more relevant for me than googling "rss".

vrypan: you’ve come across blekko right?
#

at some point I’m going to make script which creates new blekko slashtags from URLs with XFN or h-cards in

so I can search for topics on the sites of people I trust about that topic
#
barnabywalters
which is one step toward what you’re talking about
#
barnabywalters
otherwise, a combination of opensearch and microformats could be used to search many sites at once and accumulate the results
#
vrypan
barnabywalters: that would be cool. But blekko is sitll centralised. And it has little knowledge of what my site thinks is important.

permashortcitations are a bit cryptic for the uninitiated. Have you tried alternative forms?
#
vrypan
For example it looks like .example.me/123 is not auto linked by twitter (and it's easier for someone to get the hint and copy-paste to the browser)
#
aaronpk
vrypan: look at my tweets, I always include a full URL (aaron.pk/xxxxx)
#
vrypan
aaronpk: yes, but yours are auto-linked by twitter (t.co)
#
aaronpk
yea cause it's a link, is that bad?
#
vrypan
I guess that the spirit of http://indiewebcamp.com/short-domains#permashortcitations is to avoid having someone else control the links.
#
vrypan
Otherwise, why have your own short domain?
#
aaronpk
ah I see what you're getting at
#
aaronpk
but my short URLs are still visible in the tweet text, just not in the href attribute

You have a point.

it's a subtle difference

funny thing about anil's question, despite its negative framing, I think he has no idea that there is a whole legion of indieweb "apps" (as he put it) that are slowing growing stronger, richer, and will inevitably eclipse all of the closed "apps" (silos UIs).
#
shaners
tantek: while i agree with you, there's no proof that we'll eclipse all of those silos yet. ;)
#
tantek
also funny that he got not one by *two* reply tweets saying no idea what he's talking about.
smus joined the channel
#
tantek
shaners - we're going to eclipse them because they're actually quite slow to innovate.
#
tantek
and we can pick and choose the best UI ideas from them, and ignore their mistakes
#
tantek
I have no doubt that at least 2+ indieweb projects will eclipse Twitter UI functionality by IndieWebCamp 2014
#
npdoty
I've been responding to Anil as well, but I think the most interesting thing about the question is the framing of "apps"
#
shaners
i'm not surprised that people don't know what he's talking about. we have yet to do much outreach/marketing/branding
#
npdoty
what's most advantageous about indieweb projects is that they're generally interoperable rather than self-contained, like the Web
#
tantek
npdoty - yeah - did you ask him? what does he mean by "app"?
#
tantek
shaners - it's ok people don't know what he's talking about - his question was poorly worded in the first place.
#
tantek
however, get this
#
npdoty
while I had doubts about the question, I tried to respond positively, by suggesting email, IRC, personal blogs, etc.
#
tantek
he did end up using the term "indieweb", thus exposing more people to it, making them curious about it, and boom: https://www.google.com/search?q=indieweb
#
npdoty
also, in his follow up he specifically asked for non-commercial applications
#
shaners
no doubt. every mention of it helps grow it.
#
tantek
shaners - so as far as outreach/marketing/branding - the greatest hack of all is just getting people like Anil to user our language, to user our brand.
#
npdoty
... and while that's generally an interesting question, I think indieweb doesn't mean non-profit
#
tantek
we don't need him or any other "pundit" to do or say anything else. the indieweb meme takes care of itself.
#
tantek
It's question
#
aaronpk
who said anything about non-profit? http://indiewebcamp.com/business-models :D

It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did. What is the IndieWeb?
