    #90 Allow a channel to be filtered

    Aaron Parecki
    There's a Microsub issue about this: https://github.com/indieweb/microsub/issues/6

    I think this would best be done on the server, so that it's consistent across all clients. It's also something that a particular Microsub server could implement on its own, just that clients would not have a way to configure the filters.

    There's a brainstorming issue for Micropub to have a way to query a site's nicknames cache https://indieweb.org/Micropub-brainstorming#Query_for_contacts

    #83 Add follow action in Share Sheet

    Aaron Parecki
    This begs the question of whether Microsub should provide a feed discovery feature like XRay has implemented. Monocle also uses XRay for this so you can subscribe from its UI.

    Priority follows

    This might not end up being a feature of the Microsub spec, since any individual Microsub server could implement this, but let's document it here to see how widely this concept gets implemented.

    #81 Think through if there is a way to create priority follows?

    Aaron Parecki
    I do like that feature of Overcast. Castro does it too. I'm not quite sure how to translate this into Microsub yet, but it'd be worth thinking about.

    Yeah, exactly. On timeline can you provide both a before AND after token? You definitely would want to be able to specify both in the "timelineCounts" method.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah right now it will actually work with both before and after tokens. I guess that isn't made explicit in the spec, but it was just as easy to have the code work that way.

    Excellent. I think the "unread counts" property is useful based on common reader approaches. So I think that is definitely valuable, I can see a lot of people wanting to use that. For my use-case, my unread status will likely be based on if the updated property has been "updated".

    I'm gonna have to think about this further because there are three options I could do. Regardless of the option I use, Indigenous' default will always be based on if new posts have come in. However, there are some additional features I might implement:

    • I could provide an account-wide setting that changes all Channel Unread indicators to be based on if there are any unread posts in the channel. This would be helpful for people that are completionists.
    • One potentially interesting idea is instead of the above option, I could provide a per-channel setting of the "Unread Status" of the channel. This would be helpful because some channels I might want to read completely (more article based channels), whereas other channels I might want to be able to just scroll to the top and only have it be marked as unread when a new post comes in.

    I think I'm leaning towards that last approach:

    • All channels default to showing as read when the user has scrolled to the top and showing as unread when the channel has been updated with at least one new post.
    • Each channel can be edited to have it's read/unread indicator be based on if there are any unread posts in the channel.
    Aaron Parecki
    I like it. I'm definitely planning on having a few channels that I want to read 100% of the posts, and some where I want to skim them really quick, so I would definitely use that setting.

    @aaronparecki.com I like the idea of a motion detector. Amazon AWS released these inexpensive cameras with onboard ML/AI a few months ago. Maybe Iโ€™ll give that a spin.

    I have the same layout in my living/dining/kitchen, so Iโ€™d have to get creative.
    Aaron Parecki
    well that's an idea... train it to recognize whether there is a person in the kitchen. That seems doable actually!

    @aaronparecki.com Haha, same issue here. Itโ€™s a bit too aggressive on transitions at the moment, too. Iโ€™m thinking of adding a delay or some additional smarts. Fun stuff. Are you using homebridge?
    Aaron Parecki
    Nah, I have Hue lights which have a nice (local) hub with an HTTP API, so I made a little PHP script that Plex hits as a web hook and it talks to the Hue bridge directly.

    I'm not sure what other information I could use to avoid blacking out the room at inopportune times. Maybe a motion sensor in the kitchen? Tho my kitchen and living room are basically the same room. Maybe a motion sensor aimed just at the kitchen counter?

    Outfitted the remaining shared spaces in my house with Lutron Caseta dimmers and switches today. Oh, and for good measure, I set up an automation to dim my lights when I start watching something on @Plex in my living room. ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽ‰
    Aaron Parecki
    Yes! I have my lights set to turn to a certain scene when Plex starts, pauses, and stops! It's the best. Only trick is when I watch something while chopping food and then I can't see!

    Great job! There's some info in the readme but it's kind of buried: https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io#find-links-of-a-specific-type-to-a-specific-page

    @aaronpk WebSub stoked my curiousity, so I tried both Wordpress plugins for it but neither seem to support discovery per the websub.rocks publisher test. Wondering if that's typical (i.e. we have to manually edit templates to include discovery links) or it's just my set-up?

    Aaron Parecki
    @solari hmm, I'm not actually sure about the Wordpress plugins. I would have assumed the plugins add the tags automatically. Might need to ask someone more familiar with the two plugins. You're welcome to ask in the indieweb chat! https://indieweb.org/discuss
