DEMOS
#
tantek
Ben Roberts demo'd his contact collapser
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: Working on new site, not ready to demo but will anyway
#
rhiaro
... Goal to launch without losing too many features of current site, and not add too much to it until after it's launched
#
rhiaro
... But has cover photos!
#
rhiaro
... Events and people
#
rhiaro
*discussion about use of random photos for people*
#
rhiaro
... New site, everything is rendered more similarly
#
rhiaro
... Same HTML with things added, but no types
#
rhiaro
... Also instant loading (not scrolling)
#
rhiaro
... URL changes so you keep your spot
#
rhiaro
... Also started working on documentation
#
rhiaro
... docs.p3k.io

#
rhiaro
... Also don't have a web interface for posting, will always use external micropub clients
#
rhiaro
... Changed how I'm handling and storing webmentions
#
rhiaro
... Don't have a webmention endpoint on this site, use webmention.io
#
rhiaro
... Added to webmention.io a webhook so that you can tell webmention.io to ping your site when a verified webmention is recieved
#
rhiaro
... DOes all the parsing and ensmallens it to send to your site
#
rhiaro
... Realised I should make that payload be the jf2 payload
#
rhiaro
wants this NOW ^
#
rhiaro
... Store the content in a mysql database
#
rhiaro
... Also webmention.io got a new feature
#
rhiaro
... Whenever it finds an author profile image it downloads the image and stashes it in s3 and rewrites the url in the payload it sends to you
#
rhiaro
... everything is https and if you have old webmentions you're not going to end up with broken images
#
ben_thatmustbeme

ben_thatmustbeme
rhiaro: I changed my page to there are sections now with icons for each
#
ben_thatmustbeme
checkins geneate a color stream on the side, 1 pixel = 1 minute

ben_thatmustbeme
tantek: my site is tantek.com and in the past year i got basic photo posts working
#
ben_thatmustbeme
... min viable photo posts
#
ben_thatmustbeme
... last week i started using brid.gy publish to publish them to twitter
#
ben_thatmustbeme
shows a photo post from his site and shows "view on twitter" link from the post
#
ben_thatmustbeme
twitter copy includes the original link from silo so its a larger view then twitter
#
ben_thatmustbeme
also has copy on facebook, from bridgy publish
#
ben_thatmustbeme
most recently got some design tweeking on like, repost, and reply icons
#
ben_thatmustbeme
syndication links align and look good now as well
#
ben_thatmustbeme
would like to get the mobile presentation better as well
#
ben_thatmustbeme
tantek: this is where the indieweb is nice, it lets us pick the best design and use it for ourselves
#
ben_thatmustbeme

#
ben_thatmustbeme

ben_thatmustbeme

hey kongaloosh come back and demo your site
#
GWG
aaronpk approaches the board
#
GWG
He leans in for the pitch
#
GWG
aaronpk is contemplating an h-trip
#
GWG
aaronpk is proposing new top level objects
#
GWG
He asks Why?
#
Kongaloosh
rhiaro: I am sitting in the background
#
Kongaloosh
but cannot hear v. much
#
GWG
Is this a post type thing which he is trying to avoid?
#
rhiaro
Kongaloosh: I think the youtube stream will be better
#
rhiaro
you could open both?
#
Kongaloosh
super duper background noise
#
Kongaloosh
I can vaguely hear a rhiaro
#
GWG
Kongaloosh: There is more than one rhiaro?
#
Kongaloosh
GWG: well, given how much she gets done, I presume so.
#
rhiaro
Kongaloosh: shh you
#
GWG
Kongaloosh: I'm equally impressed. I need her to come down to NYC and help me recruit HWC candidates
#
aaronpk
background noise from which one?

GWG
Home Run?

we can put your talky up on the big screen here
#
Kongaloosh
okay, talky is working
#
Kongaloosh
I'm sitting in the background

Kongaloosh
I should check to make sure my site is kind of working

it's not the 11th yet, is it?

What is relmeauth?
#
Loqi
relmeauth is an open source PHP library implementation of the RelMeAuth protocol https://indiewebcamp.com/relmeauth
#
rhiaro
what is indieauth?
#
neanias
Yuck, PHP
#
Loqi
IndieAuth is a way to use your own domain name to sign in to websites — it's like OpenID, but works with services you likely already use, and is much easier to setup https://indiewebcamp.com/IndieAuth
#
rhiaro
neanias: you don't need to write any php
#
neanias
Oh, thank God
#
rhiaro
just html

can into MVC
#
neanias
Well, the M and C bits anyway
#
Kongaloosh
neanias: bootstrap it
#
neanias
Should probably do that
#
neanias
First I need to think of something to put on my site

aaronpk: Lowest common denominator for mentions is text
#
rhiaro
s/mentions/notifications
#
Loqi
rhiaro meant to say: aaronpk: Lowest common denominator for notifications is text
#
rhiaro
... webmention.io clusters because of flooding
#
GWG
aaronpk is discussion clustering
#
rhiaro
... in irc
#
rhiaro
... when a notification is received it starts a timer, notifications coming in are added to timer and timer is extended for x amount of time
#
Kongaloosh
it's interesting, most people check their notifications within a few minutes of waking up
#
rhiaro
... if no new webmentions are recieved by the time the timer goes off, it's a cluster, text is created and whole cluster is sent
#
[snarfed]
yeah this was subtle and nontrivial to design
#
rhiaro
... only similarly typed notifications are clustered
#
rhiaro
... that can be combined into a single sentance
#
Kongaloosh
and the number of times people check their phones during the day is astronomically high
#
neanias
Kongaloosh: one of the first things I do, to be honest
#
Kongaloosh
partially by design
#
rhiaro
... you want to cluster when one post links to multiple things
#
GWG
Notifications are by author or by type, but not both.
#
rhiaro
... eg. one post links to many wiki pages
#
tantek
aaronpk: you do want to cluster by: source (permalink) of notification (e.g. one post links to many posts)
#
rhiaro
... also multiple people respond to one post, like rsvps to an event
#
tantek
aaronpk: or multiple sources link to one of your posts
#
Kongaloosh
that's a good idea
#
rhiaro
GWG: how to decide who list first?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: silos do it based on distance in social graph and amount of interactions. Obviously harder.

#
aaronpk
oops sorry [snarfed] I wasn't seeing those cause i was standing up by the whiteboard
#
rhiaro
tantek: if you think about notifications for every type of post you have, it forces you to think about text-first design
#
rhiaro
... push notifications are just one type, you might also have a page of them
#
rhiaro
sandro: any need for standardisation / interop?

TOPIC: how to store different post types
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: My problem is I have posts on my site in little rectangles, some are text, some are events, some are bike rides
#
rhiaro
... some are people
#
rhiaro
... right now I have h-entry, h-event and h-card as top level posts
#
rhiaro
... *lists properties for each*
#
rhiaro
... With my new site, storing things as microformats objects internally
#
rhiaro
... for things like bike rides, want to collapse properties into a trip object
#
rhiaro
... is that part of the h-entry or a top level trip object
#
rhiaro
... do I store it this way? Do I present it this way? How to fall back if you don't know the vocabulary?
#
rhiaro
... Can see arguements for both sides.
#
rhiaro
sandro: a trip is kind of an event
#
rhiaro
... book? purchase? item to sell?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: decision so far was that h-entries can have complex objects as properties
#
rhiaro
... Difference between trip and route.. a trip is like an event, happened once. A route is just the path and maybe mode of transport
#
rhiaro
... That route may happen more than once
#
rhiaro
GWG: equivalent of a venue?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: yes
#
rhiaro
... If a route is its own object it can have its own url
#
rhiaro
... trip then references that
#
rhiaro
... Is also how I'll do checkins
#
rhiaro
... That's why I started thinking about this

*more discussion*
#
rhiaro
*something about summary being usefl for fallback text for consumers who don't understand specific properties*
#
rhiaro
tantek: does it make sense for what you think as an entry to contain more than one of the new thing
#
rhiaro
... then you may want that thing to be an array of objects inside an entry
#
rhiaro
... and therefore start out as a property with a nested object
#
rhiaro
... If in practice you're almost always just publishing one, you can do both
#
kevinmarks
likes the name/summary/content tricotomy
#
rhiaro
... h-card used to always have address as a substructure
#
rhiaro
... we found people almost always published one address
#
rhiaro
... so asking people do this extra heirarchy makes no sense fro usability
#
rhiaro
... so we up-levelled all those properties
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: so you let h-card contain a street address property rather than requiring it to be inside h-adr
#
rhiaro
tantek: yes
#
rhiaro
... derived from vcard
#
rhiaro
... but left in hierarchical object
#
rhiaro
... option
#
rhiaro
... hierarchy is a way to cluster a set of properties
#
rhiaro
... but flatter is more useable
#
rhiaro
Does the thing need its own URL or have its own name?
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: If I look at the trip example, I could give a name to my commute to work
#
rhiaro
... I would say I biked from home to work this morning
#
rhiaro
... If I'm designing notfication text and want a summary, it is convenient for the route to have its name be home to work
#
rhiaro
... So I can generate text
#
rhiaro
... Summary, not a name
#
rhiaro
... The summary of the trip includes the name of the route in it
#
rhiaro
... Which is why the route has its own name
#
rhiaro
tantek: what you're publishing right now are instances
#
rhiaro
... Confront that problem when you have a route object, not just instances
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: I can ignore that problem for now, but it still indicates that the trip should be the top level thing
#
rhiaro
tantek: could be..
#
rhiaro
aaronpk: I should do it right now as its own top level thing, if I later want to give these routes names the structure is in place for that
