@aaronpk we should probably do our once-every-two-years thing where we actually meet up and talk about this stuff since we live in the same city huh

😂 has it been that long! Yes we definitely should! I'm around this week!

@aaronpk Oh cool! Yeah, tbh my main issue with most events solutions out there is that their federation models seem really weird to me. It was important for me to make an event (lower case) into an Actor that people can follow, and then it can send out Events. Other implementations take the AS2 vocab spec too literally and make human users their Actors, and you follow a human and they emit Events that they "own" over time

I agree with you on that! I think this is also a similar issue I've seen on how we've been doing "indie events", where an individual person posts an event on their own website. (We have at least 6 years of examples of this at this point.) But I've always thought of events as being their own thing even if they're hosted by a specific person. So this is my attempt at flipping that around and making events a first-class entity.

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io
The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

This is very cool! Nice overloading of polls for RSVP buttons!

I've been working on events too, and just launched https://events.indieweb.org last week! It federates via Webmention, including adding photos, comments and blog posts via Webmention replies. I've been thinking about whether and how to add ActivityPub to it and this is giving me some ideas now!

A solid 4 of the 30 various tech boxes I've kept for 20 years were useful in our move. Hoarder, my ass!

How many of those boxes were full of IDE/SATA cables? I finally got rid of mine last year.

Not my first webmention, but trying them out to make sure they work!

Cool! You can also test with https://webmention.rocks

With a use of cross-platform authenticators this should not be much of a problem. You use a YubiKey to log into your site and in the admin panel there would be a button that enrolls your platform authenticator too. I think I saw something like this in the spec’s GitHub issues, can’t remember where exactly.

I guess I haven't thought through how to handle the case if you have *only* a yubikey as the only authentication first and then you want to log in on a device that doesn't support a yubikey. You'd need to somehow use the first device to allow the second device to log in, and then you can enroll the second device's authenticator after.

I didn't know you made YouTube videos.

I've been slowly trickling them out over the last year or two, but really started making a concerted effort this month, and it really made a difference!

Congratulations and happy birthday!
P.S.: you won’t see this until I make the Webmentions work correctly!

Thanks! And it looks like it worked!

#1 Feed of future events for tags

Ok this is done! Tag pages now show only upcoming events. At the bottom is a link to a page that shows all upcoming and past events with that tag.

I think this is the right decision because most of the time people will be looking for upcoming events.

#1 Feed of future events for tags

I was thinking about this while building it, and opted for the default "blog-style" tag page first. But now I'm thinking that actually the default tag page should show just upcoming events with that tag, and you have to navigate elsewhere to see the full archive of events with that tag.

#Peertube? *makes puppy dog eyes*

I think I would rather self-host the videos on my own website. I'm playing the YouTube game just for fun anyway.

Great news - my frontend can do the onboarding procedure! It successfully uploads my h-card and posts a “first post” to the blog, so it won’t be empty.

For now I didn’t do authentication yet. I’m still thinking if I should do password+TOTP auth, just a password or a WebAuthn. Or maybe I could just use indieauth.com directly, but that needs at least one social profile in the h-card, which is not guaranteed right now.

My vote is for WebAuthn! With the built-in OS support it's definitely the easiest to use. The only trick will be enrolling multiple devices with it.
