[bridgy] Kevin Marks replied '@jeffubois for Nelson style partial linking, there are fragmentions too indiewebcamp.com/fragmentions' to a tweet that linked to http://indiewebcamp.com/webmention (https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/667853709225959424)
#
kylewm
that feels like giving up an awful lot of ground to twitter
#
kylewm
to say they own @-names in general
#
kylewm
I mean I guess if you see an @-name on a billboard, it's safe to assume it's twitter
#
kylewm
but in more limited contexts, there are lots of different platforms that use them
#
kylewm
(and will continue to use them when twitter's gone)
#
tantek
like IG sure
#
tantek
I'm surprised that singpolyma didn't even note the problems of @charset @import @media ;)
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
Ig remap them when they syndicate to twitter
#
tantek
if they have first-hand knowledge (auth'd) of the mapping
#
tantek
heh - the logs auto-linked @charset @import @media
#
tantek
notes that @cassisjs auto_link specifically does not auto-link those
#
tantek
kylewm: the general feedback is to pushback that 1) evidence is needed, and 2) better to develop such algorithms on your own site first (and try them out as such) before generalizing to Bridgy
#
tantek
e.g. auto_link is the result of LOTS of first-hand publishing and POSSEing experience'
#
tantek
speaking of evidence, off to document more person-tagging presentation behaviors
#
GWG
!tell acegiak Working on a Javascript populate button. If only I knew Javascript
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
acegiak
GWG: I'm happy to help. I've done plenty of javascript stuff with whisperfollow
#
kylewm
I'm certainly on board with 'experiment on your own site (or manually), and document first before trying to generalize to bridgy"
#
tantek
OTOH, documenting a brainstorm on the wiki is fine, especially if it's described as such!
#
GWG
acegiak: Have you ever used the ajax handler in WordPress?
#
acegiak
GWG: I'm not sure if I've used wordpress'es one
#
tantek
e.g. kylewm right now I'm trying to figure out how *I* want to POSSE person-tags to Twitter especially when there are "a lot" of them, like more than will fit in a tweet.
#
GWG
acegiak: What I'm doing, for some reason, is sending a request to it, but not triggering the handler I thought I registered properly.
#
acegiak
I've used the jquery one cause jquery is there in qordpress
#
acegiak
GWG: If you've taken the existing autopopulate out I can take a look at what you've got
#
GWG
I haven't yet. I created a separate meta box so I could easily disable, reenable the work. I'm planning to spend the evening(here) on it.
#
GWG
I suppose I could disable it on the dev version.
#
acegiak
maybe do that and I'll have a look? I've got a spare hour
#
GWG
acegiak: Committed to the repository.
#
GWG
If you want to look at the latest.
#
acegiak
yeah looking now
#
GWG
The new metabox isn't hooked up to anything yet. It's just a mockup

#
tantek
kylewm: just to show I am also susceptible to "overthinking" - tweet text for person-tags design (pretty sure it's ready to implement, so that's going to be more code for me next) https://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag#tweet_text
#
tantek
review / feedback welcome!
#
tantek
when I get it working - I have an idea how to "hack" send it "only" to Twitter
#
GWG
acegiak: I haven't gotten to filling the fields with the response because I haven't gotten the response working yet.
#
acegiak
GWG: so your ajax query grabs the url that is being responded to, yeah?
#
acegiak
or does it pass hte url to a php handler?
#
GWG
acegiak: It is supposed to pass it to a php handler.
#
GWG
And get back the data to fill into the fields.
#
acegiak
and its the handler you're having trouble with?
#
GWG
Well, I tried putting a n error_log indicator. It doesn't seem to be tripping at all.
#
acegiak
for whisperfollow I use WP REST API
#
acegiak
which doesn't really apply as well here
#
GWG
acegiak: Exactly. I've been reading the literature and I can't figure out what i'm missing.
#
tantek
oh no not a gear icon
#
kylewm
oh haha yeah? is that like the Papyrus of icons?
#
acegiak
kylewm: that icon is infuriating
#
tantek
lolol! (wasn't going to say it but have to agree a bit with acegiak)
#
kylewm
wait, enlighten me!
#
acegiak
for me it's the fact that the gears so clearly don't key
#
tantek
acegiak: to be fair, neither do silos ;)
#
acegiak
but gears icons are so generically used for everything that they're pretty much meaningless
#
tantek
yes that was my initial response
#
acegiak
but I think that's increasingly an issue with a lot of IT sybolism
#
kylewm
I honestly don't really want to emphasize the silo part
#
tantek
well you silo in the name
#
kylewm
I kind of wish I hadn't?
#
kylewm
it's sort of denigrating for people that use tumblr, blogger, etc.
#
tantek
that's good empathetic intuition
#
kylewm
where silo.pub was supposed to help bring them in :)
#
kylewm
I'm guessing wrench icons are equally generic and overused?
#
kylewm
acegiak: good point about the cogs not lining up, can't unsee
#
tantek
the point is to be able to use micropub clients with your silo hosting platform right?
#
acegiak
kylewm: the things you're suggesting are all "settings" iconography if anything?
#
kylewm
i want "connecting one pipe to a differently sized pipe" iconography
#
tantek
shudders
#
acegiak
the first icon on the silo page of nounproject is actually pretty good for that?
#
tantek
why make it about the pipes? ;)
#
kylewm
tantek: yes originally, although I'm more and more moving toward using it to posse too
#
kylewm
because it's 100% plumbing!
#
tantek
but that's not what the user sees! they see it more like a plugin for micropub clients that lets them talk to their server
#
kylewm
pretty close to just using a picture of my cat
#
tantek
you could put a quill on top of a silo
#
tantek
like this one but make it more square
#
tantek
and then put one of the simpler ones of these on top https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=quill
#
kylewm
lol at the one little porcupine in there
#
kylewm
heh, and Peter Quill at the bottom
#
tantek
now dealing with manual cross-silo @-name translation
#
tantek
(deservedly)

[kevinmarks]
the problem is all the silo iconography is implicit dick pics
#
[kevinmarks]
start with publish or share
#
[kevinmarks]
and put the supported silo logos in the RH circles
#
[kevinmarks]
that could work
#
GWG
acegiak: Tell me when you have a moment.
#
kylewm
lol kevin, you pinpointed my issue with all those icons

Okay, accomplished something today for my site, tomorrow I test and push live. Or rather today, considering the time.

I couldn't decide on which method of entering person-tags that I would personally prefer in my own authoring/posting UI, so I wrote up brainstorms for both: https://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag#in_content_vs_separate_UI

Ok, I think I have finally implemented a basic version of salmentions, it still doesn't show comments of comments but at least it sends a webmention to its reply_to and person mentions without creating a recursive loop
