@pimoore fall is coming, y’all win at fall there.
@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@mastodon.mit.edu @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!
@Alligator awesome! Ping me if you do more of a write up and also with any cool open source tools you end up using.
@w4rner I rescheduled for next Wed March 3rd. Sign up in the updated blog post to get notified bmannconsulting.com/blog/2021...
@manton the issue I ran into is that you don’t seem to have all the files needed to test locally. Eg what runs the photo page, archive page etc
Having a repo that out of the box runs locally with Hugo would be really helpful. I can help test, but I’m stuck right now.
@w4rner just realized that this is on the picture of the tablet, not the finished blog post. See bmannconsulting.com/blog/2021... for what I’ve written up so far. Feedback welcome!
@w4rner yup! The audio pieces at a basic level are here today. UX and the social graph and moderation are all the hard bits.
@Alligator cool! I just started a page collecting resources. Haven’t experimented with any of the open source pieces yet bmannconsulting.com/remarkabl...
Please share your experiences when you get it!
@mariovillalobos great! It’s definitely well done as digital paper in my brief experience so far.
@paulrobertlloyd which is why I’d love to promote a pattern of people looking at data licensing from day 1 AND to show how Micropub checkin could enable a world of clients interoperating.
We need to talk about these issues and showcase alternatives.
@w4rner exactly! I think we can do a lot more on patterns and semantics. We’re a little stuck in the early enthusiasts tech stack discussion.
