Aaron Parecki woah, brilliant! Love the fact you're self hosting video too — what’s your workflow for that? I was thinking of building a mandrill-backed email inbox for photo and video upload so I can post from iOS really easily

Hopefully h-card entities should get expanded in the reply context for this note (crosses fingers)

Laurent Eschenauer any chance you could add class=h-card to your great #indieweb at-name autolinking so microformat entity expansion works?

Turns out the #microformats 2 JSON structures enable safe entity expansion just like twitter entities.

In my reply contexts I am not wanting to embed 3rd party HTML in my site, so I take the p-summary and strip tags. But, I want embedded h-cards to be expanded just like at-mentions on twitter. Pseudocode:

let h-card = canonical JSON structure for a note, with .summary as a plaintext representation of the content;

for item in h-card.children:
 if not in_array('h-card', item.type) continue;
 let html = HTML representation of the child from properties.url, name, etc;
 replace item.value in h-card.summary with html

Example here.

Historically, I consider this thread to be the #indieweb equivalent of this tweet.

Laurent Eschenauer great work getting #indieweb comments working :)

Just hooked up my #indieweb notes to Brennan Novak’s rather awesome @emoome sentiment analysis API! So all my notes will have automated emotion/language analysis applied now, which I can query through machine tags.

At the moment I’m not publicly showing this data, but if you can read HTML it’s in the source (machine tags not shown by default) and if you can read JSON, add .json onto the end of the URL.

Yet another reason why HTML+microformats2 is the way forward for feeds on the web:

“Most people don’t know what HTML is and yet are able to consume pages without caring much.”

This evening’s project: catching up on a bit of #taproot dev. #todo:

• remove lines — whitespace FTW
• get rid of crappy AJAX+backbone for calling new note UI into notes page, replace it with iframe+postMessage

I hadn’t checked my mentions for a few days, then I get this from Laurent Eschenauer and find that I’ve had pingbacks from some other people too! All of whom have chosen to mention me on their own domain. I am honoured. This stuff works :) #indieweb

Doing another demo of my #indieweb posting UI, this time for an animated #gif!

Update: here's the gif:

And the compliment of that #universallaw: the simpler the text-publishing service, the more interesting uses it’s users will put it to, provided it paves their cow paths (e.g. Twitter with RTs, #hashtags and @-replies).

Give users constraints and simplicity, see what they do, then solidify that functionality — or, from an #indieweb point of view, give yourself constraints, then pave your solitary cowpaths.

Cool to see Steven Downes has picked up on some #indieweb writings and has been POSSEing for ages. And I now have my own author URL on his site! That is a fascinating approach.

Anil Dash talks about browsers removing the ability to run arbitrary extensions — personally I am more bothered about websites banning their users for creating those extensions #indieweb #ownyourcontent

Booked ticket for digpensw — so if anyone wants to talk #microformats, #indieweb or #webactions on the day, come and say hello!
