    I can't get over how much fun Monocle and Indigenous are. What an improvement to the feed reading experience.

    @aaronpk Hey, sorry to reply to a random post, but I don't think your site accepts bare mentions from Mastodon.

    I think there's something funky with your AP implementation and Pleroma. I've been following you for a few days from my pleroma acct, but haven't received any posts from you.

    Aaron Parecki
    hmm.. well my implementation is very likely Mastodon-specific since it's been hard to find any information about what subset of ActivityPub is actually important to implement, so I've been doing it lazily getting just enough working at a time.

    I forgot about handling bare mentions completely, I'll have to figure out a solution for that.

    What is your Pleroma account? I can check my following logs.

    @aaronpk Cool! Thanks for checking.

    I think this might be a silly bug on my end. It looks like the follow request was never completed. I just reset that, can you send me a follow again?

    @aaronpk ok done

    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks... found one issue and uncovered another. My site was failing to fetch your public key because Mastodon and Pleroma support slightly different content negotiation headers. Now it's failing because Pleroma public keys are PKCS#1 RSA, and Mastodon are X.509. Yay standards.

    Quill's event creation UI now has venue autocomplete and a map preview, and sends the full venue information to your Micropub endpoint as an h-card! Selecting a location also sets the timezone offset of the event start/end date properly too!

    This just made it so much easier to post events to my site, so I expect to be posting a lot more now!

    @aaronpk @cleverdevil I'm not sure that adding native support in Indigenous for IndiePaper is the right step now. With https://github.com/cleverdevil/Indiepaper-macOS/pull/3 and the fact that every url in Indigenous allows you to open a ShareSheet, it doesn't make as much sense to me to bundle IndiePaper when IndiePaper (and other future services) can just have their own app in the Share Sheet.

    Any thoughts for or against that train of thinking?

    I think the only real outcome of this item would be being able to select a channel to have offline caching of posts.

    Aaron Parecki
    I like the idea of just relying on the share sheet. Less hardcoding of apps!

    For future reference, here’s the SVG used to plot the IWC Baltimore 2018 poster!

    I also made a smaller version intended to go on the back of the IWC Baltimore session facilitator cards that I described in my session-planning wrap-up.

    #310 Standardize discovery using link rel on user-visible URLs

    Aaron Parecki
    This would allow a static site to serve ActivityPub objects as well as human-readable HTML. Currently it's not possible to do this, since static sites can't do content negotiation of course.

    Specify public key format

    Currently, Mastodon and Pleroma are publishing public keys on profiles in different formats. I discovered this when I tried to load a Pleroma public key using PHP's built-in openssl, and it failed.

    It probably wouldn't be super hard to write a nginx module to enable content negotiation, if there was an interest in it

    People who want to host static sites typically are not the same people who are going to custom-compile their nginx in order to install a content negotiation module.

    The two very popular use cases that don't work when content negotiation is required are:

    1) hosting a site on GitHub Pages, Netlify, Amazon S3, etc

    2) using a caching CDN like CloudFlare

    It would be really sad to completely exclude these very popular services from participating in the ActivityPub network.

    Even Mastodon supports alternate URLs for their ActivityPub representations of pages, e.g. https://mastodon.social/@Gargron vs https://mastodon.social/@Gargron.json so it seems like it wouldn't be a huge stretch to have it advertise those URLs on the HTML pages.
