    While I’m still working out some details about the format, audio, etc, the first episode of my microcast — Shortbox — will be available Friday, August 3rd. If you have any comic related comments or questions, let me know and I’ll discuss them on the show.

    @aaronpk Yeah, I was hoping I could debug stuff locally and not have to deploy for testing. But it's not exactly "live" code on my site that I'm using yet so it's low impact. Thanks!

    Aaron Parecki
    ah yeah, well if you want, you can install Micropub.rocks locally, it isn't too difficult to set up. Might be a better long term plan to set up a tunnel so you can give your laptop a public web address tho. There are a few tools for that.

    @aaronpk Cool. With my Swift type I had to declare it as a type at the outset, so I just wrote up a custom decoder to check for a string, then an Int, and otherwise it will be nil. The Int gets coerced to a String if it’s there. Do you know of any good test suite I could run locally against my server?

    Aaron Parecki
    Nothing comprehensive yet, but I did make one tricky test case so far: https://indieauth.rocks/client/state/ I'd recommend trying to log in to as many apps as you can find as well.

    @aaronpk I'm implementing a Micropub endpoint on a Vapor site (written in Swift). According to the Indieweb.org documentation, the state parameter “can contain anything”. Does this mean a String or Int are perfectly acceptable?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yep, tho technically query string parameters are not typed so it's all a string in the end. For more info you can look up the OAuth 2.0 usage of the state parameter, it's the same thing. The authorization server will return whatever you send as the value.

    @aaronpk for example a jf2 feed as fallback if theme does not support mf2?

    Like: Accept: text/html, application/jf2feed+json

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah exactly, that way the client can tell the server what formats it can handle, so the server can decide to return a jf2feed (or maybe just the microformats json?) instead. This should also work behind caching proxies since they should take the Accept header into account.

    Just to be clear, I'm not sold on this idea to begin with, but I would hate to see a super non-standard way of doing it.

    #28 standardized format for errors

    Aaron Parecki
    Probably best to use the same format as Micropub: https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/#error-response

    hrm, i'm not sure. sounds like this would have most of the problems we've documented in https://indieweb.org/sidefile-antipattern . i imagine you'll end up with different content in this special theme, and that will diverge from the user-visible theme even more over time. not to mention you then have twice the maintenance work since there are two themes instead of one.

    Aaron Parecki
    Sounds kind of like doing content negotiation to return a different document for a specific request. I'm not a huge fan of requiring content negotiation but it seems that would be a better approach than this theme switching, since at least there are existing defined behaviors for it. Theme switching seems like it'd be full of problems like if there is a cache plugin or if it's behind a caching cdn...

    @smokey @aaronpk @eli must be some feed then? I think as long as the timezone is taken care of in the feeds, it should not be an issue for the reader, especially if the responses originated at Micro.blog?

    Aaron Parecki
    My replies are all sent via webmention from my website, not created in micro.blog. I’m guessing that’s where the discrepancy is.

    @aaronpk why should this conversation be all broken? I see Aaron’s replies first and @eli’s questions. 🤔 cc @manton

    Looks like it got confused about the timezone?

    @aaronpk is ther 12" MacBook your everyday driver?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah that’s my main machine. I also have a 13” pro that I use for video editing and audio work. It handles final cut better than the 12” tho I can do video on the 12” in a pinch. It’s also nice to have a computer without all my normal distractions.

    @aaronpk do you need to do anything special to push that many pixels?

    Aaron Parecki
    It’s actually only half the pixels of a 4K display, so my 12” MacBook can drive it fine. It’s 3440x1440.

    Why have two monitors when you could just have one really really wide one instead!

    Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.

    Aaron Parecki
    I think that's a webmention.io bug where it sees the post is an rsvp but doesn't take in to account that its an rsvp to something that isn't on your site
