🦿 Lucian Marin AMP is destroying the fabric of the web, but nobody seems to care. I quit my previous job because of this. They were trying to convert news feeds into AMP articles and feed them with plenty of ads. The solution to AMP madness is to create lightweight sites with minimal amount of HTML, CSS and JS code.
Martijn IndieWeb cares. Tantek is looking into how to advertise AMP performance gains for normal websites, without depending on entire Google libraries. It's a pretty unique problem.

Mark Dain I mean I'll have several good interviews, everyone is happy, then they just stop talking to me. I've never actually be turned down, just silence. Without feedback, it's almost impossible to tell what they aren't happy about or what I can do. Surely they could say something like "sorry we can't provide a visa because you aren't eligible for any". Maybe they just don't like me and can't say "we won't hire you because you're an asshole"?
Martijn I would definitely recommend reaching out for feedback afterwards. You have nothing to lose. I know DreamHost is looking for people, no idea what the job description is, it was mentioned during the IndieWeb Summit. Might be worth a shot

Martijn Rebuilding my website during IndieWeb Summit. Taking this opportunity to refresh my display picture everywhere too. No more grainy webcam shot or passport photo scan.

👽 Paul Webb Has anyone looked at JSON Feed yet? I like it. jsonfeed.org
Martijn Over in the IndieWeb offtopic chat we invented YAML Feed today. And KYLI Feed, EDIFACT Feed, MessagePack Feed. Safe to say there is some scepticism My main issue with it is that it is supposed to be easier and less error prone than RSS. But I have seen multiple implementations that use templating engines to create the feed instead native json serialisation. Totally missing the point.

Martijn This evening (CEST) we are organising a virtual HWC, for people who aren't in a position to organise anything local or travel to one. If anyone would like to join us, you are more than welcome! indieweb.org/event...

Mark Dain Hmm, it works for the text box but not displaying that post I made, even if I apply it on the <p> tag. Maybe this is more hassle than it's worth?
Martijn It probably is. In reality, only the author knows the intended direction. And even if their browser does the right thing in the textarea you still need some way to tell the back-end what the right thing is. Of course you could load up some language recognition library and trust that one to add dir-attributes to your content: indieweb.org/langu...

👽 Paul Webb I love that I can use GitHub as a file upload site, lol cloud.githubuserco... This is what I have sketched so far. Speaking in a Slack group about the influx of new users back lack of engagement, I started thinking of how to solve that. Every social network feels great from the beginning, when there aren't that many people using it. When it grows, existing users don't like it and stop posting as much if at all. The private groups you can easily switch to would solve that, I think.
Martijn Mastodon offers the "private groups" in a way that an instance can have their own rules for who gets to sign-up, and you always have an activity feed local to the specific instance. E.g. Sublevel could have been a Mastodon instance that we all like communicating on, and then we can follow people we know from other instances without having to leave our own. Kevin Marks even published a tool today that helps you find an instance where the local feed interests you: known.kevinmarks.c...

👽 Paul Webb Oh wow, I like this approach! Are you on IndieWeb?
Martijn Probably looks that way because they have spent some good time on implementing post types as first class citizens: indieweb.org/posts...

Martijn You won't find me on Mastodon any time soon, as I have given up my believe in OStatus. I would love to be proven wrong, but until I am I will stick to the ideas of indieweb.org as those are closer to how I think the 'net should interconnect.
John Olinda I'd like to rebuild my blog around IndieWeb when I have some down time. I love being able to post from mobile though, so it'll have to stay compatible with WordPress or something similar. I'm considering changing my VPS host, so if I do that'll be an ideal time to rebuild around IndieWeb.

Mark Dain Is it possible to still use IndieWeb with a subdomain? So you could have kodo.example.com where that's a free resource for doing IndieWeb status and auth?
Kodo I guess that's possible. there are lots of wordpress plugins and stuff. regardless of the path you go it's all very hands-on I'm close personal friends of the indieweb founders, so I'm totally supportive of the movement. it's just not for me heh :P

Kodo indieweb makes you run your own site/domain and I am entirely toooo lazy for that :P
