@Aaronvegh it is not. Jay Graber is the founder, who was recruited after her research into decentralized social networks.
It’s a separate entity, Jack is not in charge, and it’s a public benefit corporation that produces open standards and open source software.
@vanderwal such an indulgence but of course when one thinks about a memory stretching out over 3 decades — worth it!
@manton uploading the tweets.js and images folder rather than the whole zip file would be the way to go.
Ideally, please be compatible with Tweetback Canonical github.com/tweetback...
Over time, self hosted archives can interlink to each other.
@bryanrobb no I heard it years ago, its just triggered fun sense memories. And yes, I bought the album. It's good!
@toddgrotenhuis I do have iA Writer hooked up to Micro.blog.
My main site at bmannconsulting.com is a custom Jekyll install that handles wiki links. And it’s about to be ported to a #LogSeq powered site that lives at logseq.bmannconsulting.com
I use Mb for bloggy photo personal stuff and for cross posting. It’s currently sucking in content from two of my Mastodon accounts via their RSS feeds.
You could write a custom Hugo theme for Mb that supported wiki links, but at that point you should just run your own on GitHub pages.
@brid.gy cool, thanks for the info! I just walked past a Fresh Prep van today, which are apparently “made in BC”.
I’ve been thinking about if this can be made to work “bottoms up” in communities directly.
@vanderwal the interactive interface and graph nature at the block level of LogSeq seems to make it slower. Obsidian is mostly structured as page links and just keeps an index of structure, more like a text editor.
Keeping a search index of my 50K tweet archive (rather than “live” import) might be a solution for me.
In any case - lovely to finally be getting some better intertwingling tools after 2 decades ;)
@jameskoole Vancouver and surroundings are so lucky to have a ton of green / wild spaces so close.
@pimoore yeah I was really feeling a welling up of happiness to be in my neighbourhood and wanted to capture it.
What a difference the sun coming out makes.
@pimoore fall is coming, y’all win at fall there.
@pimoore it’s where I grew up so it’s tinged with extra nostalgia when I get to visit.
Where are you based?
@manton like most of the major AP apps, it uses OAuth. I’m playing a little loose with the Masto/AP distinction — there is enough capability that various front ends and clients interoperate around the basics.
I understand your reluctance, but it makes Mb a bit of a stand-alone. You’re at the “center” of a bunch of IndieWeb stuff … but as it stands, there aren’t viable IW federated servers. AP’s federation is the closest we have.
Anyway, thanks for the discussion!
@manton I find Mb very blog / notification channel focused. So updates get pushed to Masto (which I use, thank you!), but this chat here is not connected.
I am not suggesting that you SHOULD do this, but essentially become a first class member of the Fediverse.
I should be able to use an AP client — like the new Mastodon iOS one — and use my Mb account anywhere. Including posting, which of course would mean supporting AP in addition to Micropub.
@manton my partner is an artist and Glass doesn’t appeal as it over-focuses on photography.
For artists & others who care about indie social, I’m still recommending Mastodon or Pixelfed.
There’s a longer discussion here about how I’d feel more comfortable if Mb 1) open sourced* the server and/or 2) fully participated in the ActivityPub fediverse.
*a non commercial open license like Prosperity or IndieCC might be a fit.
@pimoore I grew up on Bowen Island, which is the chunk of land on the left edge of the photo.
It’s a pretty lovely part of the world.
@hoppysensei I still miss Bestie Wurst but this place is pretty good.
@baldur everything Web2 appeared full grown with the launch of Flickr in 2004, didn’t you know???
@manton Blaine’s atJSON might be useful here github.com/condenast... — designed for roundtripping between multiple formats
His presentation at ToolsForThought Interchange was awesome blog.fission.codes/tools-for...
@jayeless turns out @genmon just phrased things a bit strangely ;) He replied on Twitter
@manton yeah I’m excited by this pattern. It means that Twitter or Mastodon clients can be the source...but the person gets their own customized display / domain and ability to edit ;)
@Eggfreckles @manton I’m about to be responsible for hosting moa.party and we’re looking at different cross posting options.
There’s a potential for a Masto -> Git -> JSON Feed -> Micro.blog path in the short term.
Mid term, I’d like to make it a Micropub gateway.
@dandycat haha! I did think about getting more!
But it’s close by so an excellent lure to go out on a longer walk and find a bench to sit and eat at. With pastry crumb shrapnel going everywhere for the crows and robins to fight over!
@w4rner two other platforms! Probably at least one with Big Blue Button, one with my friends at Soapbox, and maybe Jam or Speakeasy.
@w4rner it will literally be me spamming you! Other than notification emails that Luma auto sends ;)
I’ll probably do 2 more on different tools over the next little while.
@ohBananaJoe yep ;) I’m a bilingual German speaker, had a couple of people point this out!
