Participants

Kevin Marks

Kevin Marks is going to demo first!

1. Noter Live Masto edition. demo folks, shout out your fediverse handles, if you've got 'em, and he'll note live!

Enter a hashtag, @-@- handle of the person you're quoting, and enter the text.

Toots it from `@kevinmarks@indieweb.social`

For subsequent entries, automatically tags the same person, so you can quickly continue a thread while the same person is speaking

2. made a bookmarklet for Ben Werdmüller’s Share Openly.

pops a window. enters xoxo.zone, shares to site. edits down the text for the target, etc. demos for http://bsky.app as well!

3. added a Share Openly button to posts on his own site, too!

encourages folks to look into Share Openly to makes POSSE a lot easier.

we'll try to have the sharer work

See the thread at https://indieweb.social/@kevinmarks/113025214809641781 for Kevin Marks using what he built to live post about his and everybody else’s demos!

David Millar

Dave (https://davegoesthedistance.com / @dave@puz.fun) next.

Did some maintenance on personal site. updated IndieWeb Webring links to the new format. updated some projects. switched all book links to go to book pages on his own site. added folks to his homes/fam list. will continue polishing!

Ryan Barrett

Ryan Barrett (https://snarfed.org / `@snarfed.org/@snarfed.org`) wanted easy interactions with posts that he reads. jealous of how good silo users have it for this.

Tried to get IndiePass working, but had issues.

For comparison, look at Threads. One tap on a heart icon to like it.

1. Opens his NewsBlur, picks a post. Uses Android share feature. Taps his "Like" share target. Finds the like on his site - it's there!

His site also pings Bridgy Fed in the background, discovers that the target of the like is a Mastodon post, and queues that up to notify their mastodon server.

Shows how it works using "HTTP Shortcuts" app. Lets you configure HTTP requests and expose that as a share target. Templates bits let you pull details out of the shared post/page.

2. Shows similar flow for a reply. A separate shortcut, shows a reply text popup that is also part of HTTP Shortcuts. not one-tap but pretty close!

Doug Beal

dougbeal (https://dougbeal.com / `@dougbeal@xoxo.zone`) sharing from mobile.

1. Removed Twitter from his website!

2. RSVP'd to the upcoming HWC Pacific (this Wednesday!). had to send Webmention manually. his RSVP shows up on the http://events.indieweb.org event page. did it all from his phone!

Tantek

Tantek Çelik (https://tantek.com / `@tantek.com@tantek.com`) between IndieWebCamps has been working on larger auto-linking changes.

Worked with Kevin Marks on it some today. has been coding on it, looking now to turn that into more of a specification.

functionality clusters like:

`@-name`, `@-domain`, `@-@-s`, etc.
hashtags, and
footnotes, too.

hopes that an auto-link specification may help someone else make an interoperable implementation.

Captured the discussion on his site, including links to previous posts where he discussed implementations of various pieces. Encourages discussion about all this work so far!

Marty McGuire

Marty McGuire added back in the ability to use rel-me auth for the IndieWeb Webring, by using https://indielogin.com/ to support rel=me auth for people who link to GitHub or email etc.

I was able to like a post on Tantek's website without having to manually edit the date format because Hugo crashes on dates it doesn't like.

I also have a quick response app called Banter to send likes that will syndicate to Bridgy.

Amy Hurst

Amy (https://amyhurst.com / no fediverse handle).

Removed Twitter from her site!

Joe Crawford

Joe Crawford (https://artlung.com) spent time blogging!

Themes of XOXO. Erin Kissane classified XOXO talks into "I did this awesome thing on the web" vs "This awful thing happened to me because of the web". Wrote about some themes related to this.

We have all the pieces we need to have great personal websites and interactivity.

We don't know what is next but have real hope, reflected in quotes from speakers at XOXO. Hopeful for what is coming down the line. Also syndicated to http://indienews.org/

Aaron Parecki

Aaron Parecki (https://aaronparecki.com / @aaronpk@aaronparecki.com ) arrived late and squashed bugs on some IndieWeb infrastructure.

1. Slack users mentioning Slack channels in Slack were not translated correctly in IRC. Slack had changed something and broke things. aaronpk fixed that up! but also discovered new problems.

2. Also noticed some emoji weren't translating correctly. The Slack bridge has its own emoji database which needed updated, so he updated it!

3. Worked to get trips working on his site. Has automated features for this for years, but recently went on a trip with a huge number of data points spanning 1000 miles and 36 hours, and it was breaking his automation. with a couple of hacks, it was working again!

Avi Bagla

Avi (https://www.avibagla.com/ / `avibagla@xoxo.zone`)

1. updated his portfolio site, including some new projects.

2. signed up for mastodon at `xoxo.zone` and added that to his site, too!
