Day 97: Updated Known's Micropub Support #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I think this is the first time in the 100days project that I've worked on a project that is not my own! Today I added support for JSON requests to Known's Micropub endpoint. I also added support for JSON checkins that OwnYourSwarm sends.continue reading... -
Day 96: Documentation for OwnYourSwarm #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I wrote up documentation on OwnYourSwarm. It actually took quite a bit longer than I expected to write everything up. The documentation walks through each component:continue reading... -
Day 93: Polling for Photos in OwnYourSwarm #100DaysOfIndieWeb
An interesting feature of the Swarm app is how it handles photos uploaded to checkins. If you check in and attach a photo, the checkin is actually created before the photo is uploaded. If you're on a spotty Internet connection, you'll see this because your checkin will exist and you'll get points for it, but there won't be a photo yet. The app will then continue to upload the photo separately, retrying if it fails. This is actually a really great app design on the part of Foursquare, but does lead to some tricks with the API.continue reading... -
Hi all,
As discussed on the last call, we've been chipping away at getting more of the Micropub implementation reports to be confirmed with the test suite now that it's complete.
I've made some updates to the implementation report summary to better reflect the current status of the submitted reports. https://micropub.net/implementation-reports/clients/ The main addition is a row at the top noting whether a report was self-reported or confirmed via micropub.rocks. There is also a new column showing the total numbers of *confirmed* implementations of each feature in addition to the existing column showing the total implementations of each feature.
We now have three implementations other than my own that have confirmed their reports with the test suite. Two of them are relatively full-featured clients, the other creates posts so doesn't need to pass any of the update/delete tests. There are at least two implementations (other than my own) of each feature, and all but two features have 2+ implementations confirmed with the test suite.
The current gap in the results is with form-encoded delete requests, since I have not been able to track down one of the implementors to get him to re-submit an updated report. However, I did test his client with the test suite myself and confirmed that it passes those tests.
At this point, I feel comfortable making the transition request, since each feature has been tested against the test suite and has two or more implementations other than my own.
I've created a wiki page with the transition request details here: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Micropub_PR -
Day 86: Updating IndieAuth Docs #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Beginning a slow project of updating the docs about the IndieAuth spec, today I started by updating a few pages on the wiki. Right now, most of the docs about IndieAuth (the spec), and how to use it, live across a variety of pages on the wiki, grouped together at https://indieweb.org/Category:IndieAuth.continue reading... -
Day 84: Sending h-card Locations in OwnYourGram #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I added an option to OwnYourGram to opt in to receiving an h-card as the location property instead of a geo:// URI. On the dashboard, there is a setting to toggle between receiving a geo:// URI with file uploads, and an h-card location with a reference to the Instagram photo URL.continue reading... -
Day 76: Client Tests for Micropub.rocks! #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I finished all the client tests for creating posts, and launched them on micropub.rocks today!continue reading... -
Day 72: Preparing Micropub for PR Publication #100DaysOfIndieWeb
On the last telcon of the W3C Social Web Working Group, we voted to request that Micropub move to PR, the next stage of publication within the W3C! This is the second to last step before Micropub becomes a W3C Recommendation!continue reading... -
Day 70: Editing Reposts in Quill
Now that I have a basic pattern for supporting edits in Quill, I was able to quickly add support for editing reposts today. It works the same as yesterday's project of supporting edits of "likes", where the main "edit" page detects the "repost-of" property in the post and redirects to the repost interface. Not much else to say about today's project other than that!continue reading... -
Day 69: Initial Editing Support for Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today in Things I Should Have Done Ages Ago... I finally started adding support to Quill for editing posts. I'm going to have to build this out one by one for each post interface Quill supports, so I started with the easiest one, favorites.continue reading... -
Day 67: Adding Image Alt Text in Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb
With Quill's new image uploading UI, I was able to easily add a form field for specifying image alt text. This is a relatively new feature of Micropub, added thanks to a review by the W3C accessibility group.continue reading... -
Day 65: Implementation Report Template for Micropub Clients #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I've been making progress on the Micropub.rocks test suite, but I am concerned about being able to finish it in time to get implementation reports through it. So instead, I published the implementation report template for clients as a text file, similar to how the Webmention reports are submitted.continue reading... -
Day 56: Added a Reset Login Button to Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb
This morning, Marty mentioned that he was having trouble with Quill because of my previous change where I updated the default scope to "create" instead of "post". (I documented this change as part of Day 51, but I suppose it could have been its own 100days project itself!)continue reading... -
Day 55: Showing the Raw Request in Micropub.rocks #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I added a section to Micropub.rocks that shows the raw request that was received from the client. This way it is very obvious what your client sends, which should help while developing your client.continue reading... -
Day 50: OAuth for Micropub.rocks #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Continuing the work on the micropub.rocks client tests, today I worked on the OAuth server so that you can sign in to Micropub clients to post to the test account. Aside from providing the actual sign-in functionality, I also want this to provide helpful error messages and walk you through setting the parameters to build the authorization request.continue reading... -
Day 49: Beginning the Micropub.rocks Client Tests #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Micropub.rocks is the test suite and debugging tool for the Micropub spec. Currently it only has tools for testing your Micropub servers. Today I began the process of adding tools for testing your Micropub clients.continue reading...
