    #19 Non https content

    Aaron Parecki
    As of a few days ago, Aperture now downloads any media resources it encounters and rewrites the URLs in the post to its own copy it is hosting. You shouldn't need to do anything differently in the client, and all the URLs will be https now.

    I'm not sure this needs to be something in the spec, since the Microsub server can just rewrite the URLs transparently if it wants.

    #4 Tracking read state or position

    Aaron Parecki
    This has been implemented in Aperture, Monocle, Together, and Indigenous, and documented at https://indieweb.org/Microsub-spec#Mark_Entries_Read so I'm going to close this issue. Let's open new issues for any future discussion about the specific behaviors within read-state tracking.

    #3 Indicating whether posts have already been responded to

    Aaron Parecki

    I'm thinking about using a new Microsub property in the entry to indicate the response URLs that may exist for this post.

    {
      "type": "entry",
      ...
      "_like": "https://aaronparecki.com/xxxxxxx",
      "_repost": "https://aaronparecki.com/yyyyyyyy"
    }
    

    alternately:

    {
      "type": "entry",
      ...
      "_actions": {
        "like": "https://aaronparecki.com/xxxxxxx",
        "repost": "https://aaronparecki.com/yyyyyyyy"
      }
    }
    

    For likes and reposts, from a UI perspective, we want to know whether the user has already liked or reposted a post (a boolean yes/no), in order to style the like/repost button differently, so in that case it makes sense to have those be a single string. (The client could send a Micropub delete request with the URL if the user taps the button again, to delete the like/repost.)

    For replies, I'm not sure what we actually want the client to indicate. Long-term it would be great if the client had the ability to show the full conversation thread, so in that sense it makes sense to handle replies differently from likes and reposts. Maybe we can handle this question separately for replies.

    In the case of likes and reposts, we only care about the URLs of the user's own like/repost posts. Showing other people who have liked or reposted a post is a different problem, since that does not affect the state of the action buttons.

    In thinking through this, I'm leaning towards the second JSON option above, nesting the data under _actions, since this data is limited in scope to help indicate the state of the action buttons. It is not meant to cover displaying all responses to a post.

    @aaronpk Mind helping me diagnose something? I think this like is marked up correctly as a u-like-of, but it appears on your site as an "other mention." Do you notice anything funny in my markup?

    Aaron Parecki
    You've got an h-entry in your h-entry! Check out the extra nested in the parsed result: https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprettygoodhat.com%2Flike%2F1520909433%2F

    #33 Support access_token for micropub endpoint

    Aaron Parecki
    Good call, I'll add this. I wish IFTTT would support custom headers or at least the Authorization header tho! This has been a problem for me in the past as well. Maybe if a bunch of us keep requesting it they'll eventually add it.

    Not exactly an issue but why should the server have the option to only return true / false for the unread count on a channel? Could it not be selected on the client and just use if > 0 logic?

    I suppose maybe some servers will only be able to return true / false which makes it easier to build a server...

    Aaron Parecki
    In Aperture, I wanted the option to choose whether to return boolean or counts (or disable it completely) per channel. This way the client can just react to the data it has.

    #83 Send webmention to user's profile url when mentioned

    Aaron Parecki
    I was just thinking about this the other day! I wasn't sure whether you'd want to hyperlink the @-mention to the user's canonical domain or keep it as the micro.blog profile link, but eddie's idea of adding an invisible link inside the h-entry would work too!

    #25 Different map baselayer than ESRI

    Aaron Parecki
    Is this something you'd want to change per database? Or would it be something on the whole installation? An easier version of this could be to use the .env file to hold the settings, that way you could avoid needing to make a UI to manage it.

    Ah, yes, using the .env file makes sense. I've got only one database and so it doesn't matter. But I could see someone using different databases for different purposes (one for day trips, another for hiking?) and so need different maps.

    But as I said, while writing it, I decided to move permanently to the mapbox tiles and have made the change on my install.

    Say, what and how do you use different databases? Is your installation used by different people?

    Aaron Parecki
    I have a primary database for my GPS logs, and I have another big one for all my weather data. Every 5 minutes a script checks my current location, looks up the weather at that location, and writes it to that database. That’s how the little weather info appears on my posts. I’ve also used other databases for testing the app so I can write to a test DB, or storing other home automation data.
