@aaronpk I just got OwnYourGram set up — works great, and has a delightful combination of simplicity and just-works-ed-ness. Thanks!

Awesome! That's great to hear!

Your enlightened thought of the morning: if you position yourself as a leader of the #IndieWeb and #MicroBlogging movements, maybe the URL of your #RSS Feed should not contain the words “something-demo.appspot.com” in lieu of your blog’s actual domain? 🤔

You're right. I just switched my Atom feed to be a local URL that redirects to Granary. The reason I don't want to generate my own XML feed is it's too hard to get right, especially with all the nontraditional content on my home page like checkins. #indieweb

@aaronpk Hey! Thanks for your OAuth 2 Simplified article. There's some broken anchor tags btw. The link should go to either "others" or "client-credentials".

oh thanks! Fixed now :-)

What’s awesome? I still don’t get why I should be adding a third party (same dependency pb as Disqus) when my blog handles trackbacks alone.

There's nothing third party about the webmention spec! There are some services that will collect webmentions for you, but you can also receive them directly yourself!

Reading about #webmentions… the 2d “famous” post I stumble across is an ode to spam: https://adactio.com/journal/6469

What's crazier is that escorts site actually set up Webmentions and wrote a real blog post about it! They appear to be using @adactio's post to test it. https://www.midlandsmaidens-escorts.com/post-pinger/

I just feel like all of this stuff is so outdated and needs rethinking.

We've been working on exactly that! https://indieweb.org/Webmention

I did a write-up on setting up Compass (and it's few pitfalls) -> http://www.nitinkhanna.com/running-compass-on-vultr/

wow, that's an amazing writeup, thanks!! I'll answer your questions in a bit, and hopefully can improve the docs from this!

Doesn't Amazon use .mobi?

@nyquildotorg .mobi which is built by converting from the epub file. It's been a long process.

@aaronpk Enjoyed that episode 👍and I like your implementation. I’d be interested to know about the tweaks you mentioned you had to make to display the video.

Thanks! I'm planning on doing a little writeup of the tech behind it soon.

And what is Nav under Desired Activity? (The loss of opening up to users - questions!)

@nitinthewiz Those settings are all described here: https://github.com/aaronpk/Overland-iOS#settings I should probably move that to the app's website now!

The server is an interesting thing. Considering setting it up on a vultr VPS.
This seems to beat Moves by miles btw!

@nitinthewiz aw thanks. Don't give it too much credit tho. It doesn't do automatic mode or place detection like Moves.

So long as it's optional, that's a great addition!

You have to run a server to catch the data rn, so iCloud drive would be easier. Doesn't tick the "data never leaves the device" box though.

@eveforster I've been doing this for years! Just published an app for this, you configure where to send the data https://overland.p3k.io

I'm thinking about making it store data in iCloud Drive as well so it'd be easier to use. Would that be an ok compromise?
