Is there a service that supports indieauth as well as other social media auths?

more references for the single page app/site anti-pattern: "The One Pager 1.0.12"
#
tantek
maybe "WooFramework 5.5.5"
#
tantek
found on dandelionchocolate.com - which shows no text when scripts disabld
#
tantek
so instead of using their site, I use Google Image search for "dandelion chocolate menu" - much more usable than a bunch of junk one-off single-page-app JS
#
tantek
essentially, use of single-page-app/site coding techniques are marking sites less useful / usable than just googling their contents, and using google image search as a proxy for their site.
#
tantek
of course, not sure how google is indexing the images.
#
tantek
ah - from other sites.
#
tantek
so the lesson is, either make your site content easily curlable/indexable, or other sites will determine what shows up in your search results.
#
tantek
that is a concrete reason why SPA approaches are an anti-pattern, you relinquish search results to the rest of the web.
#
tantek
(in practice that is, I don't care how many blog posts people cite about supposed search engine support for parsing JS etc. - in practice that approach is too crap to depend on)
#
tantek
(e.g. Brett Slatkin's recent post about client vs. serverside "rendering" where he offhandedly mentions/links to a post about search spiders crawling JS)
#
tantek
on another subject
#
tantek
I just discovered that FB allows you to "location tag" *others'* photos!
#
tantek
like person-tagging but with (linked)names of venues instead of people!
#
tantek
ah - *only* if you're tagged in the photo (are you prompted with the optoin to location-tag it)
#
tantek
and the text description syntax is something like
#
tantek
"With " (list of profile-linked person-tags) " at " (linked location tag)
#
tantek
and if you did the location tagging on someone else's photo, after the linked location tag it says in gray text: "(requested tag)" to indicate to you the (moderation) status
#
tantek
what is moderation status?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "moderation status" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=moderation+status
#
tantek
GWG, I believe that (moderation status) is the problem we're running into with WordPress comments not giving any feedback about whether your comment made it to the server etc.
#
tantek
what is moderation?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "moderation" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?action=edit&title=moderation
#
tantek
GWG, want to take a crack at that ^^^ since WordPress probably has the most deliberately designed and well understood moderation system?
#
tantek
documenting these basics will help us better understand some of the broader interaction problems and develop solutions

they all just had different key=XXXXX, no names

are you sending video as well as audio?

KevinMarks
back with jean and i cna curl --head www.jeanmrussell.com/testing-brid-gy/ OK
#
KevinMarks
so why would brid.gy be blocked?
#
KevinMarks
robots.txt?
#
tantek
GWG? ^^^
#
GWG
Yes?
#
KevinMarks
any ideas on why bridgy might get a 403 when my curl gets a 200
#
KevinMarks
from curl --head www.jeanmrussell.com/testing-brid-gy/
#
GWG
Sounds like it might be a host issue, not a WordPress issue, unless there is a plugin filtering hosts
#
GWG
Early on, my settings were restricting some curls.
#
KevinMarks
bridgy is appengine right? so presumably using google fetch
#
tantek
aaronpk - we can see and hear you
#
tantek
can you see or hear us?
#
aaronpk
tantek: great we can't hear you but can see you
#
tantek
yes we can hear and see you
#
GWG
The user agent is python-requests
#

Some servers do block that
#
KevinMarks
the robots.txt seems ok
#
tantek
we are talking
#
tantek
are you sure you don't have your volume turned down on us or something?
#
GWG
Who is the hosting provider?
#
aaronpk
we got it now
#
aaronpk
it was complicated
#
KevinMarks
is the host
#
KevinMarks
if I do curl -A "python-requests" --head www.jeanmrussell.com/testing-brid-gy/
#
KevinMarks
i still get a 200
#
KevinMarks
yet bridgy gets a 403

then perhaps file a Twitter support request to get the account, and let them know the "current" account you have that you'd like renamed to @indieauth, is @indie_auth

GWG
Friday is normally my day off
#
tantek
you should apply as a Social Web WG invited expert regardless!
#
GWG
Then hotels and such
#
GWG
tantek: When is Social Web?
#
GWG
Just before?
#
GWG
Did someone answer the Social Web thing and I missed it in the scroll?
#
GWG
tantek: What makes me qualified to be an expert?
#
GWG
In your opinion as I don't know what the qualifications are?
#
tantek
GWG: here is both my opinion of the qualifications, and the other chairs also: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#Invited_Expert_Approval

#
GWG
tantek: So, your qualifications are you have to be active on publishing social content on your site. But you seem to be outvoted
#
GWG
I think maybe I'll just come for Thursday
#
tantek
GWG, there is no outvoted - each chair has their own opinion, and any chair can potentially veto an invited expert (there has to be consensus to accept them)
#
tantek
just apply
#
tantek
you're obviously an implementer, you've got shipping WP plugins
#
GWG
I'll see how my work feels about time off. They owe me some
#
GWG
tantek: I'm a neophyte implementer. I'd like to think I'm getting better

#
tantek
GWG, you're a *shipping* implementer who's actively *selfdogfooding* on their own site
#
tantek
that puts you way above 90% of implementers
#
GWG
I need to dogfood more though.
#
GWG
But most of what I'm working on is trying to get to making it easier.
#
GWG
Sometimes, I think about posting, and remember all the steps
#
tantek
there's always room for improvement, that's not a negative
#
GWG
Then some guy comments he has to wait for me to moderate a favorite, so I stop for a bit and write a whitelist for Semantic Linkbacks.
#
GWG
I do so at 2AM, and don't know what I was thinking, because after I woke up, I wondered why I thought it would work the way I did it
#
GWG
So I rewrote it, and while I was in the code, wrote a bulk old pingback script to run on activation and sent some more pull requests.
#
GWG
And fortunately, Pfefferle is very good at keeping my sleep deprived enthusiasm under control, so I need to do another rewrite.
#
GWG
I'm mentioning this, because I'm building the tools I want to use.
#
GWG
I just feel I need to use them more
#
tantek
don't we all :)

KevinMarks_
yes indeed
#
KevinMarks_
wonders if noterlive could become a tweetstorm tool
#
aaronpk
isn't it already?
#
KevinMarks_
not quite - it is for reported speech
#
aaronpk
ah. seems like not a far stretch!
#
KevinMarks_
it'd need to number the tweets and make them reply to each other
#
tantek
maybe just a mode switch for that? those are often quite annoying
#
aaronpk
that sounds like a description of how to POSSE a blog post to Twitter!
#
tantek
that too!
#
tantek
(or at least a short blog post)
#
aaronpk
preferably a post with tweet-length sentences ;)
#
KevinMarks_
right, the art is actually making the tweets break into standlone points
#
KevinMarks_
ones that ellipsis over multiple tweets aren't quite right
#
@tomcoates
In my head are some ideas about selecting text and easily quoting them as a new tweet, making twitter bizarrely rich annotated doc store

#
tantek
KevinMarks_: why not reply to @tomcoates pointing out we already do that, but using our own sites: http://indiewebcamp.com/quotation
#
tantek
(which can then *optionally* POSSE to Twitter, thus supersetting his idea)
#
tantek
without giving up data ownership/control
#
aaronpk
i believe i may even have a video of me doing that

#
KevinMarks_
workflow: highlight text; click bookmarklet - it creates a quotation post that you can comment on (with fragmention) then POSSEs it to twitter with an image of the quoted text
#
tantek
aaronpk - even better - reply with, "already thought of it, and implemented: (video) "
#
tantek
and then encourage him if he's interested in these topics to join the rest of us on the cutting of edge at indiewebcamp
#
@kevinmarks
@tomcoates @aaronpk has got this working on his site: http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2014/09/07/1/indieweb-bookmarks - would love to get you to an #indiewebcamp some time

Re: invited experts, I applied and added myself to the wiki page, but was later removed. https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?title=Socialwg&diff=77734&oldid=77730 I don't particularly mind since I probably would not have had time to participate anyway.
#
GWG
So I've written a domain whitelist for moderation on my site...not yet live. What other moderation tools can I build?
#
GWG
gRegor`: You were going to come to Boston?
#
tantek
gRegor - that likely means you were accepted
#
tantek
did you not get email about it and automatically get signed up for the mailing list?
#
gRegor`
The whole process has confused me honestly.
#
tantek
gRegor`: it is confusing. feel free to email harry as instructed here: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#How_to_participate
#
KevinMarks_
wow styling a file input button is pretty nasty
#
tantek
yeah - don't bother :(
#
aaronpk
isn't there a trick of making some other button and triggering it via JS?
#
aaronpk
should probably add that css via JS so it falls back to a regular button with noscript

exactly

KevinMarks_
there is a huge tension between designers wanting consistent buttons and browsers implementing native ones
