@github any chance you could add #microformats2 h-entry and #indieweb comment markup to issue pages?

Want to easily send webmentions from the command line, or from bash/python scripts? @vrypan made a neat little package to do just that: github.com/vrypan/webmention-tools
pip install webmentiontools
webmention-tools urlinfo http://waterpigs.co.uk/1000
webmention-tools send source target
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 :)
Watch out for #python dict-based string interpolation examples which look like this:
'Hello, %(name)s' % {'name': 'Otter'}
That s
after the brackets isn’t pluralising one adorable aquatic mammal into a whole bunch of them, it’s actually part of the interpolation placeholder — the equivalent of
'Hello, %s' % 'Otter'
Note also that for some reason, python lets you put spaces between the closing bracket and the type signifying character. This can cause extremely weird bugs when the string being interpolated is also being translated. For example:
_('%(customer) shared a thing') % {'customer': 'Mr. Bean'}
If not translated, this will produce this confusing but fairly easy to debug output
'Mr. Beanhared a thing'
But if 'shared' is translated into a word beginning with, for example, d
, you’ll just get an exception like TypeError: A float is required
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.
“…disruptive technologies don’t start out better than established technologies, as would seem intuitive, they start out worse. But for all their faults in comparison with entrenched, established competitors, there’s something radically different that opens whole new opportunities, and makes them disruptive.”
— para-meta-quoted from Not Real Programming
I’m aware the d-word is taboo, but I can’t help but think this perfectly describes #indieweb and #indieauth, as well as the reactions many people have to them.
@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!

Tonight’s #baking: Mochi v4, this time with peanuts, cinnamon and black sesame seed paste. So far it’s Mochi 2, Barnaby 1. Hopefully this round will even things up.
@roopagulati mmmm… my favourite is rice cakes + peanut butter with dark chocolate on the top

I think I just tried to make @nerdhaus quiche. Whether or not I accept that interpretation of the past as canon depends mainly on the degree of misshapenness of whatever it is coming out of the oven in a few minutes.
Sad that Horse_ is gone? Pining for some hilarious nonsense? Come spamwatching on the microformats.org wiki for a bit.
Corn starch is the paradoxical inb4/f1r5t p0st of the kitchen — it stops things from sticking by sticking to things before they have the chance to stick. #baking
