@snarfed.org Yeah, I do an extra lookup to get full profile info as well as the lat/lng of venues. This is basically the same code that's in OwnYourGram. Comments and likes? mayyyyyybe.

@joelpurra @oplife indieauth.com should still be running an OpenID provider. I just used it to sign in to StackOverflow yesterday!

Happy birthday Barnaby! 🎉 🎂

@ttepasse I don't generate an XML feed (too much extra code) but you can paste any of my feeds into https://granary-demo.appspot.com/?x=94&y=43&input=html to convert them!

That's not a terrible idea! If I didn't already have a good setup with Weechat and Glowing-Bear I might do the same! Tho I could benefit from a slightly better client on mobile. Glowing-Bear doesn't stay connected because it's a web interface, and it would be nice to be able to switch iOS app focus and not have to reload the interface.

@karabaic of course there's always the domain name too! https://w7apk.com

@karabaic hah awesome! Here's where I got mine from! http://www.ebay.com/itm/162062260994 Don't forget to get your Twitter account too: @W7APK

@tomas_quinones It's great, but fair warning, it's nothing like playing a real piano. I treat it more as a quick way to key in chords.

@snarfed.org Well you managed to provide an interesting example in this reply! Your post has e-content so it's parsed as HTML, but then the links in the post aren't hyperlinks! I was worried my autolinker was broken but it's not running because it thinks the post is HTML.

I run the heuristics at https://indieweb.org/comments-presentation#How_to_display to determine whether the "name" of the post is distinct from the "content", so that's how I tell whether something is an article vs a note. If your mf2 has the same values for name and content, it drops the name and shows just the content.

@tomas_quinones I also have a 25-key XKey https://amazon.com/dp/B00DU2VKV8/?tag=apkdotcom-20 which is very portable but feels like a laptop keyboard

@tomas_quinones I haven't tried that one. I have a full-size keyboard at home with hammer keys so it feels very realistic.

@dominik I thought I wanted great circle lines, but it turns out they don't actually look very good in the webmercator projection

@dleonhardt Nice post! I quit cold-turkey in 2008 and have never looked back!

@shurcool Often finishing one project leads to two more! Also just working through my list of open GitHub issues will take a while!

I decided to make that my project for today! You're not crazy :-)

@indiescripter Thanks for the explanation! It's great to hear this feedback from people new to #indieweb.

Your point about your expectation of being able to like or comment on the post directly on my website is interesting. I took the comment box off of my website a long time ago, with no regrets. I like that it encourages people to write replies in a space of their own. (Ideally on their own website, but at the very least from their own Twitter account).

However, it would be interesting to see what would happen if I let people "like" posts directly on my website, even if they don't have their own website yet. Maybe I'll do that for one of the 100 days!

This is such a great writeup! Thanks for chiming in!

@indiescripter hm, what do you mean "silo-centric"? We often replicate silo UX on our own sites, and we syndicate to silos to reach audiences that are there, but ultimately it's about owning your identity and data. If you want to see a variety of things I'm working on, check out my "100 days" project where I work on something IndieWeb for 100 days: https://aaronparecki.com/tag/100daysofindieweb You'll find plenty of non-silo things there!

@zackfern ah it's technically an Atom feed! You can actually put any URL at the end of this to subscribe to them eg https://granary-demo.appspot.com/url?input=html&output=atom&url=https://aaronparecki.com/articles

@zackfern I don't want to maintain a separate code path for rending RSS. This way I just make sure my HTML looks right and it's automatic.
