There was already RDFa and microformats, but that wasn't enough, so Google put out microdata to go with http://schema.org... I fear open data and the web in general seems to be going downhill, these days. Just corporate silos, some of which have their proprietary APIs.

Get yourself a Mac... they just work. I think it has something to do with magic. :)

I actually run Windows in a VM just so that I can use Quickbooks Desktop. That is literally the only reason I use Windows.

In other news, I'm going to the Apple Store on Tuesday to get both of my Mac's keyboards replaced cause they're doubling up a bunch of keypresses.

Your Endpoint Did Not Return a Location Header

Thanks for writing this up! I've made some minor changes to how Quill displays error messages now, as well as tweaked some copy to make it address users rather than developers.

Quill started out as a tool to help debug Micropub implementations, so all the copy was phrased to address the developer of a Micropub endpoint. That was before https://micropub.rocks existed. Quill later evolved to be a much more robust client that can create a bunch of kinds of content, and I hadn't yet gone back through and updated the text.

It's clear this has become necessary, so hopefully these changes make a difference now!

Ensure URLs returned are properly encoded

The change in https://github.com/indieweb/php-mf2/pull/170 means it's possible to return URLs like http://example.com/foo bar with a space instead of the URL-encoded %20.

#170 Move resolve step last in u-* parsing

I think I'm in favor of merging this as is, even if it still returns invalid URLs, because it won't return anything more broken than the current version. I do think it should properly escape URLs in the parsed result though, since that's what would happen if you included a link in an <a> tag in a browser that included spaces. (The browser converts those to %20.

I should probably support micropub in kroeg's frontend somewhen when that's working better... Also this is giving me some cool concepts now

that'd be awesome. I just wrote an ActivityStreams-to-Microformats JSON converter which wasn't that hard. It shouldn't be that hard to go the other way around.

One fun thing I just learned is that ActivityPub has almost no implementations, certainly no barebones modules I can tell except maybe https://github.com/Arkanosis/microstatus ? except I can't even tell if that is a module or a full-fledged server or both or what
I am a professional software developer and this shit is so byzantine, no wonder the indie web is having such a rough time

Don't forget that ActivityPub isn't even all of indieweb! It gets even more confusing once you throw the other half of the specs into the mix (webmention, micropub, indieauth, etc).

But that's what happens when this stuff is all built up by a bunch of unrelated people on their own time, rather than being a well-crafted developer experience made by a single company with a bunch of VC funding.

It will get better, it just takes a lot of work to make this stuff work, much less make good docs for it on top!

Encouraging mf2json in an alternate? woah, what happened to the anti-sidefile fight, the html-as-one-true-source idea?

Let's call it an experiment

I'll check it out! I agree it didn't *need* to be open source, but Free (libre) reference implementations of open protocols speed up adoption. Also if you have a good open protocol and there aren't open source projects around it, it might not be working yet. ;)

oh yeah for sure. To be clear, my only involvement in micro.blog is having written several of the protocols that they are built on. e.g. https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/

I'm a big fan of getting many implementations early.

A new form of social media: open protocol, decentralized nodes with the ability to mod, central services to do identity and enable content aggregation and discovery. Like online gaming, where people can run their own servers if they want.

Found the top of this thread. This is pretty much 100% the goal of what we're doing. https://micro.blog is one of the first commercial services that works as both providing hosting as well as content aggregation and discovery. Doesn't need to be open source, just open protocols.

That's interesting, but it looks mostly like "the web" - which is totally cool, but I think too hard for most normal people to use on their own. Also doesn't have social interactions.

The IndieWeb is entirely about bringing social interactions to the web in a way that doesn't rely on single companies like Twitter or Facebook. This might explain a bit better: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

#310 Standardize discovery using link rel on user-visible URLs
Just wanted to chime in here again to say that my implementation now also includes a rel=alternate link to the ActivityStreams JSON representation of the page.

e.g.

https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" href="https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth.as2" />

That brings this up to at least 3 implementations that support it, making it a good candidate to incorporate into the spec.

Awesome! I'd love to know what kinds of questions you get after the talk!
