Aaron Parecki looks like it was a success :) Feedback after using the map creation UI: the path tool is amazing for quickly filling up maps, it would be great if it had the option to automatically insert staggered higher-point points, maybe a 20 every 5 and a 30 every 15 or 20. 50s are most fun to place by hand.
Congratulations Aaron Parecki on implementing real-time #indieweb comments in #p3k using #webmention, websockets, redis, node.js and PHP. Very impressive indeed :)
@benwerd I’d go for a ruler
.@john_nye all the stores I’ve submitted extensions to do manual reviews. Mozilla:
Safari and Opera have fairly basic, boring forms for uploading stuff, and are extremely picky and unclear about exact image sizes for screenshots and icons. There’s also no “review in progress” page, but otherwise acceptable.
Obviously I’ve not been able to actually submit an extension to the Chrome store, but I’d hope that it’s a damned good experience for $5. If they are doing automatic reviews, then the price becomes even more counter-intuitve. If they’ve automated it, surely it’s cheaper and quicker for them?
.Jack Way no other extension store (mozilla, apple, opera) demands payment, or requires it for verification. Also, Mozilla offers a far superior extension upload experience. Google has no excuse :)
@cstanhope Twitter do indeed shorten all links, they’re just a little bit more honest about it. But I’m certainly going to make the extension unshorten them all too (there’s enough info in the HTML do to that without extra HTTP requests).
@benwerd I refer to it as the “A4 shop window QR code” problem
@anna_debenham I publish microformats2 with classic mf fallback. Also consume lots of microformats data and built some tools to help others do the same:
@w03_ what’s this one about?
@julien51 WATCH OUT! They’re trying to trick you by putting the comma in the wrong place — it’s actually only $93,000,000 :)
Testing POSSE of issue comments to Github
Brennan Novak I generally don’t like paying anything for APIs or apps :) I make exceptions for things like @pagekite which are both extremely useful and also thoroughly good.
@sandeepshetty @pfefferle cweiske Something new to consider: Jeremy Keith added a webmention sending form to his journal entries to help people who’s websites don’t support webmention already. Being able to test and use webmention through a human visible, interactable form is a huge benefit of using HTTP form encoded data.
We can make this an even stronger case by encouraging success and error responses to be full HTML documents with helpful copy.

cweiske @pfefferle demanding strictly ordered + laid out HTML makes things easier for consumers at the expense of publishers, which is a known anti-pattern. We should optimise for ease of publishing.
Also, many implementations are already parsing the target HTML for reply-contexts (e.g. Aaron Parecki (example), @jschweinsberg (example) and myself (example)), demonstrating that parsing HTML is not a significant barrier.
@benhowdle @trailedapp congrats on the launch! Great that you’re encouraging people to own their comments. Have you come across indiewebcamp.com at all, especially the work we’re doing on cross-site replying, webmentions and reply-contexts? E.G. this post is a reply on my own site to one of your tweets :)
This post by @Johannes_ernst sums up #selfdogfood — loving the BMW story too, we should document that on the wiki!
All I have to add is something I learnt at #indiewebcampUK this year: when people advocate a technology, don’t be afraid to ask the selfdogfooding questions
And if they answer no, don’t be afraid to call them out on it. It’s your time they’re wasting.
@mapkyca nice brainstorming, loving the idea of #microformats2 key discovery for private content! (I publish a link to my PGP key on my homepage, if you want to test it out :)
Have you had a look at PuSH v0.4? It’s way simpler than old PuSH and is no longer strongly tied to RSS/ATOM content.
Note also that the “argh my little site got popular and is dying” thing can be solved even with your simpler system, by making the endpoint an external service. Woo hypermedia discovery over well-known URLs!
@roopagulati mmmm… my favourite is rice cakes + peanut butter with dark chocolate on the top
