@chenoehart @m1k3y I would not say exclusive to. Check out http://indiewebcamp.com for some principles I think are worth thinking with

GWG
Okay, my 2016 goal has a Help section. Will have to wait for feedback on that.

gRegorLove
GWG: Feedback on what?
#
Loqi
gRegorLove: tantek left you a message 6 hours, 5 minutes ago: I'm now leaning towards the default of continuing with the every two weeks of HWC, since we haven't seen strong opinions one way or another. With 2016-01-13 being the first HWC of 2016. http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-12-23/line/1450911290577
#
gRegorLove
tantek: Sounds good.
#
GWG
From someone who needs help
#
gRegorLove
I don't follow
#
GWG
If I write a help section, and someone needs help, and it helps...

KevinMarks_: you're going to be excited about https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/pull/582
#
snarfed
kylewm++ for doing it

Petermolnar, read your post
#
petermolnar
the log one?
#
petermolnar
turned out I'm not done due to the handle changes between the various networks, but that's just playing around with the data while in the db
#
GWG
What are you planning on doing with it?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "you planning on doing with it" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10AL
#
petermolnar
`update chatlogs set buddy = newname where buddy = oldname` :)
#
petermolnar
I just need to decode who is who
#
petermolnar
apparently msn handles are not trivial after a few years
#
GWG
I also fixed the issue you filed
#
petermolnar
seen it, thank you

Slow day
#
aaronpk
the day is still young
#
GWG
aaronpk, younger for you. I still have work.
#
GWG
But I am starting to feel like some version of my end of year goal might be ready.
#
GWG
I fixed three more problems last night.
#
GWG
Including wondering why PHP Datetime seems to ignore timezone if sent in by Iso8601
#
GWG
Did you set a goal?
#
tantek
perhaps we need subheads
#
tantek
what is 2016-01-01?
#
Loqi
2016-01-01-commitments are implementation and launch commitments publicly made by the IndieWeb community to ship on their personal sites by 2016-01-01 00:00 local time https://indiewebcamp.com/2016-01-01

I think that I missed that someo

somehow

I did, but I am worried I am not going to be able to hit it!

#
GWG
aaronpk, we're all pulling for you
#
aaronpk
I'm definitely doing this the hard way
mattronix joined the channel
#
GWG
How so?
#
aaronpk
putting things in libraries with proper tests, using those libraries to build services, then using the services from my site. rather than just cobbling stuff together into a monolithic code base like before
#
GWG
Isn't that the sustainable way?
#
aaronpk
yes, it just takes a lot longer
#
GWG
I'm still a cobbler myself
#
GWG
Probably why I've rewritten the same code many times
#
tantek
it takes longer to get "first run", however it is less likely to break, and should require less maintenance
#
GWG
tantek I am not at that level of professionalism yet
#
tantek
GWG, it is approachable incrementally, and then you can decided on a case by case basis how formal/thorough you want to be with any particular piece of code
#
GWG
My idea seemed good until it didn't
#
tantek
it's good to experiment along that "formalness" spectrum continuously, lest you fool yourself into thinking the ceremony of formality makes the quality (which it doesn't, it's just one possible tool for doing so).
#
GWG
I just keep trying to break out reusable pieces of code into functions
#
GWG
Then I realize that I didn't make it as easy as I could.
#
tantek
I prefer the other approach, copy and paste to get stuff working as quickly as possible until it feels awkward/embarrasing to do so, then break out common functions and feel a huge sense of relieve when you've deleted duplicate code.

definitely still some todos in it, but it should be good enough for now

Tantek: what did you mean by "perhaps we need subheads"? Just taking about subheads on the commitments page?
#
tantek
just another level of headings
#
[shaners]
:+1::skin-tone-2:
#
tantek
though the term subheads may have been imprecise
#
[shaners]
Aaronpk: could someone, in theory, run an instance of telegraph for just themselves? So they get the benefit of a miscroservice without giving up ownership of servers that one depends on?
#
aaronpk
of course
sivoais joined the channel
#
aaronpk
as long as you don't mind running a PHP app ;)
j12t, sivoais and elf-pavlik joined the channel
#
aaronpk
tantek: you may be interested in trying out Telegraph since you currently send webmentions manually anyway
#
tantek
my responses send automatic webmentions!
#
tantek
using the PHP library code I wrote to do the discovery etc.
#
aaronpk
oh! great! I didn't realize that
#
tantek
yes! been doing that for a while. I think since I implemented favorites/likes!
#
aaronpk
well nevermind then :)
ben_thatmustbeme, sivoais and KevinMarks_ joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk - however because of how my webmention sending support is written, I'm only explicitly sending them for response URLs / favorites. not to every single link.

#
aaronpk
once more, this time with the URL
#
aaronpk
wonder how bridgy is gonna handel that
#
tantek
nice!
#
tantek
what is Telegraph?
#
Loqi
Telegraph is an open source API and service for sending webmentions, part of the p3k suite https://indiewebcamp.com/Telegraph
#
tantek
"Please enter a URL" - heh I really need to extract and open source my JS for URL inputs without protocol.
#
aaronpk
oh yeah. i keep doing input type="url" but then browsers get super picky
#
tantek
I use input type="url" on that page!
#
tantek
I just have a JS "shim" to "fix" it to allow protocol-less URLs to be entered :)
#
aaronpk
oh does the JS fill in http if none is entered?
#
aaronpk
good idea
#
tantek
just in time
#
tantek
to prevent any warnings
#
tantek
it uses CASSIS webaddresstouri function
