    I just launched the ability to create "review" posts in Quill, and added support for displaying them in p3k. p3k adds the additional mf1 classes required for the review to show up in Google results as a "rich snippet", although the Google crawlers haven't made it over to my site yet since launching the change.

    In the process of adding both mf2 (h-review) and mf1 (hReview) markup to my review posts, it demonstrated that there are some serious issues with the mf2 parsers and how they handle backcompat mf1 markup. Here's an example of my post being parsed by the PHP, Python, and Node parsers:

    • PHP
    • Node
    • Python

    The Python parser is the only one even close to correct, although it has added a child h-card based on an mf1 object.

    I've opened issues on the corresponding repos to try to get these fixed.

    • Python parser
    • Node parser
    • PHP parser

    In the mean time, my apologies if these review posts appear super broken in whatever reader you're using!

    A hairy problem. One solution: one-click unsub, with a huge “user@example.com has been unsubscribed. Didn’t mean to? Subscribe”

    @akalsey Even better!

    One reason to do that: you forward a message to me, I click unsubscribe and unsub you.
    Aaron Parecki
    @akalsey I guess that's fair. Then it should pre-fill my email address. Otherwise I may not even know which of my addresses is subscribed!

    Bluetooth works great, sound leaves something to be desired
    Bose Solo 15 Sound System Aaron Parecki 2016-12-15T15:25:15-08:00 permalink

    I was optimistic about this item at first given my experience with the BOSE SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker which has excellent audio quality and bass for its size. However, I was disappointed by this device. The bass wasn't as rich as I had hoped, and it didn't fill the room like I had hoped. It sounds very mono-directional compared to other sound bars which have speakers on the ends to simulate surround sound better.

    Pros:

    • Like the SoundLink mini, the Bluetooth feature on the Solo works very well. It quickly reconnects to previous devices, which is great.
    • If you're going to use it with a TV, it's great that you can set the TV on top of it.

    Cons:

    • Sound quality is not as good as I was expecting
    • No HDMI input, so can't be used with an Apple TV without extra converters

    Other than not using XMLRPC to send and receive them, what makes Webmentions better than Ping/Trackbacks? https://indieweb.org/Webmention
    Aaron Parecki
    @jeffr0 Frankly not using XMLRPC is enough, but Webmention also supports updates and deletes, as well as extensions https://indieweb.org/Webmention-faq#Why_webmention_instead_of_pingback

    a long time ago, we hung paper snowflakes in the window...above our menorahs. After a few minutes, the candles caught the paper on fire, and my dad pulled the burning snowflakes down and stomped them out, but they left some scorch marks on the carpet for years after.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
