I'm collecting requests from IRC here when they're something I can't handle quickly and immediately. Roughly FIFO, feel free to re-arrange if you have reasons to suggest a specific prioritization

  • document existing Webmention sender/receiver interop beyond Webmention specification as minimal W3C Notes in (new if needed) https://tantek.com/github repos. Minimal preamble/intro/abstract, conformance classes (publishers, receivers), what publishers should do (list 3 impls that do, link to more), what receivers should do (list 3 impls that do, link to more). minimize overlap between Notes.
    • WebStream β€” h-feed, h-entry as currently interoperably supported
      • h-feed
      • h-entry
      • all interoperably supported additional properties for various responses
      • superset (another way of documenting all) of the below Web* specs
    • WebComment - document how implementations that receive and detect a webmention reply:
      • use which properties for what (e.g. author name & photo, post name/contents).
      • commonalities in displaying comments
      • AKA WebComments or "Web Comments".

      • use which properties for what (e.g. author name & photo, post name/contents)
      • commonalities in displaying likes
      • AKA WebLikes or "Web Likes".
    • WebRepost - document how implementations that receive and detect a webmention repost:
      • use which properties for what (e.g. author name & photo, post name/contents)
      • commonalities in displaying reposts
      • AKA WebReposts or "Web Reposts".
    • WebRSVP - document how implementations that receive and detect a webmention RSVP:
      • use which properties for what (e.g. author name & photo, post name/contents)
      • commonalities in displaying RSVPs
      • AKA WebRSVPs or "Web RSVPs".
    • post-type-discovery
      • document how existing consuming implementations parse for mf2
      • document and cite existing consuming implementations, link to more on indieweb wiki.
      • cite list of IndieWeb Examples of each post type in the spec
      • update to reference the above Web* specs
      • links from Response Type Discovery algorithm to WebComment, WebLike, WebRepost, WebRSVP accordingly
      • once a reply/like/repost/RSVP is detected, what to do
  • blog about, describe, how to do notification first design and text only design
  • cognitive reload 2014/reposts#Repost_presentation, brainstorm markup expected to achieve that presentation, add said markup explicitly to repost#Brainstorming, link to that from 2014/reposts#Repost_presentation as a For Follow-up See Repost Brainstorming
  • brain dump two #indieweb ideas (location at vs about, checkin how to markup) to the wiki from https://chat.indieweb.org/2016-10-24#t1477349895913000 and https://chat.indieweb.org/2016-10-25#t1477425283318000 then blog about both!
  • Document the corollary for http://microformats.org/wiki/h-feed Parser Compat with additional class names per https://github.com/kevinmarks/mf2py/commit/9c7ba2c051292b5dbce2a6e9378fcec46e20a94d Blogger and WordPress defaults inside hfeed
  • https://indieweb.org/authorship#Questions
  • consider updating various projects indieweb support/compat sections to IndieWeb Friendly section with subsections similar to Falcon#IndieWeb_Friendly, e.g. GNU_social#IndieWeb_Compatibility (how should we archive past services Spreadly and App.net's former support?)
  • write-up and expand note#How_to
  • reflect on what it means to "standardize federation"
  • reflect on what building blocks could use improved tutorials for implementing, e.g. like this tutorial

  • keep processing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufBLI6bB9sg for adding to: Loqi#IndieWeb_x_Loqi_Dominate_the_Day
  • write an mf2 to indieweb version of this article, showing which minimal, typical, maximal properties to use for which effects in indieweb posts and interactions: https://moz.com/blog/meta-data-templates-123
  • figure out how to implement delegation on his site so he can have others post for / as him, things like the indie event for HWC SF.
  • move https://github.com/tantek/post-type-discovery into the indieweb organization, especially to enable moving ptd.spec.indieweb.org onto a new server with auto-deploy stuff set up and aaronpk needs admin access to the repo to do that
  • Broken: try https://indieweb.org/Instagram#Single_Photo_Bookmarklet and either deprecate & document errors, or attempt to quickly fix it
  • Atom feed: drop likes, because even fallback content apparently causes poor UX in feed consumers like some micro.blog clients. Write up how this is a good example of Atom / AS1 failure to be extensible, and this unsuitable for evolving social web interactions
  • document how lightning talks work at IndieWebCamps, both intros at start, and demos session at the end
  • ^^^ maybe not use the label "lightning" - might be more confusing than useful? -- sknebel
  • consider helping out with maintenance of mf2 plugin, look at https://github.com/pubsubhubbub/wordpress-pubsubhubbub/blob/c17cf4269ab738ac3ca33fad76a587e425caba56/pubsubhubbub.php#L80 as an example of how mf2 plugin could filter out / rewrite the errant presence of "hfeed" in post permalink markup
  • Write-up a microformats#FAQ for IndieWeb specific questions about microformats that were asked on a recent day in chat starting here https://chat.indieweb.org/2019-06-08#t1560029007948800
    • "Hi all, is there a page I can point to that represents a reference of all IndieWeb markup?" [ @rubenverborgh] June 8, 2019
  • watch 2019/building-blocks video and type up q&a
  • simplify Twitter#POSSE_Notes_to_Twitter by:
    1. removing use of permashortcitation (and only using permashortlinks) and
    2. extract inline use of CASSIS functions in POSSE explanations, and instead provide them as specific techniques after the full prose explanations.
  • re-evaluate permashortcitation examples and update that page accordingly to reflect actual practices as of today
  • update CASSIS auto_link function YT embedding to use privacy enhanced mode YouTube#How_to_embed_with_privacy-enhanced_mode
  • Write an update to On Silos vs an Open Social Web [#indieweb]
  • incorporate into webmention/reply-context storage brainstorming, and on Falcon#Working_On: https://indieweb.org/Webmention-brainstorming#storage - IWC 2016
  • simplify (restructure if necessary) wikify to be more approachable and usable (at a minimum not stress out aaronpk)
  • Create a UnitConverter single page site as an expansion of the ASIN.cc site, with a service worker for offline support, and expanded to handle common temperature, distance, weight/mass, cooking units (perhaps using code from the UnitConverter HyperCard stack)
  • file an issue on Bridgy Fed requesting @-@ recognition in the plain text of the content of posts and inclusion of explicit @-mention entities, specifically the "to" key in an AS2 activity as documented here: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#microsyntaxes (presuming that Mastodon recognizes that key), and delivery to the inboxes of @-mentioned individuals in addition to any reply-to or follower inboxes
  • Add details of my experience migrating from xoxo.zone/@t to Bridgy Fed, which parts looked like they work (all?) and which parts appear to not be working now (still have followings/followers at the old account, old profile doesn't redirect to new profile - my personal site, etc.) #330 Add account migration (Move) support
  • blog about the "house party protocol" and how it helped inspire Vouch
  • Working On: recognize and cluster multiple reactions that are in-reply-to the same post! e.g. https://tantek.com/2023/279/
  • consider documenting at-mention (aliases @ mention, @-mention, at mention) as its own page separate from person mention and leaving a sub-section summary behind there.
  • consider documenting @-@ as its own page as well, a particular form of at-mention, with aliases at at, at-at
  • Falcon: code up a UI to switch off display of syndication links by silo, perhaps start with a static array of "dead-to-me-silos" domains in falcon.php
  • ^ perhaps a tri-state per syndication destination: on, use Internet Archive copy, off
  • implement syndicating original content to IndieNews, perhaps by detecting hashtag # IndieNews in a post and then autogenerating an embedded syndication link to IndieNews accordingly
  • ^ https://news.indieweb.org/how-to-submit-a-post
  • Respond to https://subconscious.substack.com/p/credible-exit pointing out that "credible exit" is meaningless jargon use of "credible", that GitHub is a bad example because you can't export all the stuff *about* a repo (issues etc.), and similarly Mastodon is not because no post portability, but the general methodology of a solution is good
  • add sparkline SVG generation support to CASSIS so it can be run on the server and return an SVG to the browser instead of the clientside JS that folks are sending to their site viewers in embed tags
  • design a scrolling reader UI & backend that inserts the urgent things you need to do (from your to-do list) at the top of the list of scrolling items, and has a done βœ… button next to them which logs that item as a private task completion post.
  • ^ Related: generate timely items at the top of your reader feed just below urgent to-do items, according to user settings, items like "update & make my recently synced exercise post(s) including on Strava" or "check-in to your current location because you've been here a few min and it's away from your prev venue"
  • ^ More generated items: per user settings, suggest continuing streaks of desired habits like "you're at 2500 steps for today, go for a walk to achieve your goal of 10k daily steps and extend your 3 day streak!" which could go auto-hide if/when you go walk 1k+ steps and then upon achieving your daily goal turns into a congrats item. Similar encouragements for writing, posting, and other 100Days#Brainstorming items
  • post about implications of https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/08/ai-tools-chatgpt-copyrighted-material-openai in particular, don't even think about using ChatGPT to contribute material to the IndieWeb wiki, Wikipedia, W3C or other standards specifications, because you don't have the ability to know you can contribute it to the public domain / CC0 / other CLAs.
  • post about naming user features vs plumbing support, some notes in naming, and example of: re: IndieAuth being jargony and not a good name for a user-facing service, this is literally one of the reasons why in UX/UI discussions I still use "Web sign-in" for the name of the user feature, not IndieAuth. https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2024-01-22#t1705884673885800
    • "btw, aaronpk, re: IndieAuth being jargony and not a good name for a user-facing service, this is literally one of the reasons why in UX/UI discussions I still use "Web sign-in" for the name of the user feature, not IndieAuth." @[tantek] January 22, 2024
  • figure out how to check http://micro.blog @t mentions and make sure I can do so on mobile browsers, then start going through them and replying if necessary
  • LCC version of Dewmoji. Consider using Dewey to LCC conversion https://library.kilgore.edu/lc_dewey.htm or Dewey Decimal Classification to Library of Congress Classification and existing Dewmoji as a starting point.
  • side project idea: go through "popular" "simple" npm packages and write-up one-file code solution alternatives that work by copypasta instead without all the ceremony/overhead/vulns of yet-another-npm dependency
  • do an analysis of the home pages that Longnow has linked to from their Session/Episode posts over the years to see how many such home pages are dead (e.g. Clay's home page link on https://longnow.org/seminars/02005/nov/14/making-digital-durable-what-time-does-to-categories/)
  • once again double-check code in Falcon that generates the HTML for note posts to make sure it is setting an empty p-name property rather than duplicating the content as plain text. per report from aaronpk that homepage first note post still has non-empty p-name, and bug report unfortunately blaming Bridgy Fed: #1068 indieweb? to activitypub, content duplicated in 'name' element
  • re-evaluate how much of the plain text content of a note for Falcon to provide in the title element on note permalinks, perhaps limited to 500 chars or whatever is the default Mastodon note post character limit, continuing to drop leading photo (and other) URLs at the start of the content, perhaps even eliding URLs in the middle of the content to just the domain no scheme and … for the path & fragment.
  • implement /embed versions of posts as same as h-entry markup except with blockquote h-cite instead and rel=canonical to u-url and minimal inline styling to match post permalink styling, add link rel=embed for discovery.
  • On my replies, maybe allowlist reply-context embed iframe generation with existing algorithmic reply-context in its title attr.
  • Maybe manually add curated comments to my posts as iframes in a comments list, with reply threads (including my own replies to replies) nested one-deep in a nested list. Need automark syntax for iframe this url with title (similar to img with alt maybe?)
