hmm - I'm liking the parenthetical permashortlink presentation - does help to communicate that you're not just mentioning a link: https://twitter.com/cjk101010/status/639960527402176512

whats the easiest api to interact with twitter?
#
kylewm
wagle: what language?
#
wagle
agnostic.. first guess was python, but others are fine
#
kylewm
someone brought up https://github.com/sferik/t in #knownchat the other day, that looked interesting
#
GWG
I need a swiss army knife of APIs
#
kylewm
tweepy and bear's twitter library are both good for python
#
kylewm
though, tbh i just use requests and request-oauthlib

good morning!
#

KevinMarks: example is my own site! which already has "other profiles" marked up as additional u-url values of the top level / representative h-card :) http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=http://tantek.com/
#
tantek
now I suppose I should mock up a visual design for what "shows icons for "other" (silo) profile URLs" should/could look like inside hovercard ...

had an experiment where I listed everyone's social graph profile on their Twitter cards – some Microformats enthusiasts posed a UI-challenge :)

voxpelli: that timpritlove example is quite different than what I intended, so I should call out the differences
#
voxpelli
tantek: you would get them all for the h-card of that page if I still had access to the Flattr page so I could mark up the rel-me:s as u-url

a fallback to rel-me for representative h-cards would be nice as well btw

aaronpk: as someone who person-tags their photos, I'm curious what you think of this: https://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag#With_other_profiles
#
aaronpk
oh interesting
#
tantek
note that I included reasons why
#
aaronpk
the micropub version of that would require posting an h-card, not just a URL
#
tantek
not necessarily - your site could lookup the URL in your nicknames cache
#
aaronpk
yeah i'm thinking if I don't have it in the cache tho
#
tantek
or go do rel=me discovery itself
#
aaronpk
it could I suppose. certainly easier first step
#
tantek
and use that discovery to populate an entry in your nicknames cache for the future
#
aaronpk
hm I'd have to think about how that would look with my current person-tag display
#
tantek
right, hence the note about (t, f) and using social media icons
#
tantek
(equivalent problem)

Or hovercard could do it later. The hovercard challenge is deciding how to winnow more detailed profiles - doing something like Facebook's "here are 2 things that you'll find interesting"

I need to fix the multiple org better too
#

ohh, interesting. i was able to person-tag someone via the facebook api without specifying a place/location

tantek: re https://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag#With_other_profiles wouldn't use only icons for person-tags
#
tantek
is realizing every /response is a potential /webaction
#
KartikPrabhu
icons are fragile on loading and support etc... having text fallback is always better
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: I think you misread. the icons are only for the social media other profile links
#
tantek
which, in that context are so secondary that it's ok that they're only minimal icons
#
KartikPrabhu
true. but if the icons don't load those links are unaccessible
#
tantek
nah - they can still have alt="Twitter profile" etc.
#
KartikPrabhu
the links themselves will be invisible to the reader tough so alt does not help
#
tantek
I think you're confused about how images display if the src doesn't load
#
tantek
"will be invisible" is false

very nice

it's been an unspoken debate for far too long - now it's got a start of documentation

#
myfreeweb
why is commenting on indienews even considered syndication? it's just a webmention comment
#
aaronpk
oh hey the URL is still up
#
aaronpk
myfreeweb: the idea is that you syndicate your comment from your own site to indienews
#
aaronpk
the in-reply-to URL would be the original story, not the indienews URL
#
aaronpk
I may just drop that whole thing tho since it's kind of a leap of the imagination and I'd rather get the simple flow of just submitting things there working well
#
snarfed
probably the right call
#
aaronpk
also there are only 2 comments ever and both are from me
#
snarfed
wow, kylewm did you make a new synd icon just for indienews?

#
KevinMarks
so who has webactions working?
#
KevinMarks
do you get a webaction at the bottom of http://svgur.com/s/1d ?
#
myfreeweb
nope
#
myfreeweb
I guess it would work if I had the browser extension thing
#
myfreeweb
but the cool thing now is indie-config: your website loads my config using an iframe and replaces the twitter link with my link
#
myfreeweb
I have a Web Components implementation: https://github.com/myfreeweb/indieweb-components
#
snarfed
what's the inverse of u-syndication?
#
snarfed
ie how would an indieweb friendly silo mark up a POSSE post backlink
#
snarfed
u-syndication-of?
#
aaronpk
i thought it was just u-url?
#
aaronpk
that's what I did on indienews anyway
#
snarfed
ah yeah. i checked indienews but thought u-url meant it hadn't tried to handle it
#
snarfed
good point
#
snarfed
u-url it is
#
aaronpk
it means if you subscribe to the indienews home page in a reader, the reader will show the original link which is what you want
#
KevinMarks
there was an atom thing for that iirc
#
myfreeweb
wow, indie-config's web+action://load iframe causes Chrome to display a mixed content warning (but not Firefox)
#
KevinMarks
though i don't think we h-feed ified that
#
KevinMarks
hah, I thought I had founda tree in the twitter logo, but that was because inkscape imported it over an open document, not in a new one

kylewm: how would you feel about doing syndication this way: http://indiewebcamp.com/syndication-brainstorming#Syndicate_by_Reference
#
aaronpk
basically you first create a u-syndication link to http://news.indiewebcamp.com/ and send the webmention as normal, and the response will include the final URL and then you can update the syndication link on your site
#
aaronpk
basically the same way bridgy publish works i think
#
kylewm
yeah that's totally how bridgy publish works, i like that consistency
