Haha, yeah you’re right. Source and Target aren’t much of a spec. I think some of the stuff that makes it cross over the line as a spec is “how do you discover someone’s webmention endpoint?”, “how do you verify a webmention’s authenticity?”, etc.

Thanks! Yeah, the inspiration was for it to be a mix between Micro Monday and a HWC between two people 🙂 I’ve enjoyed the Micro Monday’s that are around 15 minutes, so that’s what caused me to aim for the 15-30 minute range. Enough time to discuss a variety of things without going too long.

Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing this. So cool!

Yeah, that’s a very good point. If you follow someone, they should probably be added to your nicknames cache.

The other side is interesting to consider as well. What is a smooth workflow for “subscriptions”. I have some thoughts that I’m going to form into a blog post, but don’t have time to type it up at the moment. Look for it later today 🙂

I don’t know that you would want to use an external contact database, but two thoughts:

First, I’m hoping to add support for Micropub endpoints that support it so that Indigenous for iOS has the ability to “save an h-card” from a website you are on into your own nicknames cache.

Second, once you can easily save people’s h-cards into your nicknames cache, you can do like Aaron does and convert mentions to silo-specific mentions!

Well the good news is because Webmention is data agnostic, while I agree microformats can be tricky, if a better solution pops up in the real world, we can easily shift to adopt it. As you said, we shouldnt go out and “try to invent a new spec” but if something makes sense and people try it out and it works, then webmention can always adjust. The webmention spec would never need to change, websites would just have to replace mf2 parsers with whatever the new parsing strategy is.

That sounds great, I appreciate your podcast and especially your episode with Martijn! I’d love to chat with you on the My Url Is podcast 🙂 It’s amazing how quickly my schedule filled up. I’ve already got interviews scheduled until January 1, 2019, but I’ll put your name at the top of the list and when I’m ready to start scheduling interviews for January, I’ll send you the scheduling form!

Very cool! I’d like to do a Dark Mode as well! Looks good.

Well said! I wouldn’t really consider myself a “blogger”, although I do occasionally write a blog post or two. I think the confusion around that can be difficult but I like how you explained it here!

Oh wow interesting. I might have to look into the first two movies in that trilogy. They did a good job marketing them as thrillers. I sometimes shy away from thrillers when they get too close to “horror” so I avoided those movies not knowing much about them until now.

Yeah, that’s one thing I like about the recent MCU movies. Example: The spider-man and black panther movies weren’t origin stories. Instead it’s just the first story we see, we pick up in the middle of their story rather than the beginning.

Excellent! I love the new look! I was able to read the article very comfortably from my iPhone (a rare thing to be sure). Looking forward to watching how the design continues to evolve.

Nice! I bought a portable battery that can charge my iPhone OR my MacBook Pro. Haven’t gotten a chance to test it yet but hopefully it works right when I need it!

Yeah, I’ve really enjoyed it as well!! Hopefully watchOS 5 will give some movement there! 🤞

cleverdevil, have you ended up setting up a drafts Micropub workflow? I have been wanting to use drafts but I don’t want to lose control of the Micropub settings I’ve got in Indigenous so I think I’m gonna add callback and x-url-callback support to Indigenous, which should then allow for easy Micropub support across the Drafts and Shortcuts apps. I even have an idea about merging Siri Intent Shortcuts (the ones that run in the background) with x-callback-url to add support for essentially background x-url-callback support.

Do you do 2 ultra widescreen monitors or is a single ultra wide enough?

Yes!!! I so want this!

It’s pretty variable. Could take anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes.

Yeah, the bed heater is part of the Eight Smart Sleep Cover. You put it on your bed underneath your fitted sheet and it can heat the sides of the bed separately as well as tracking your sleep.

😆 Have fun!!

If it’s in an x-callback, try # ? That’s the url encoded version of a hashtag.

Wow, that’s awesome!!

Ohhhh…. gotcha! 😁 Good to know!

Will do! 🙂

Wow! That’s amazing!

Without an OS? 🤨 I plugged it into power and hdmi and I didn’t see anything appear on the screen 😕

I know! I held it up to show my wife and said “this was $10” and she said “I would have thought it was $200!”

Awesome! Great idea!

Haha not talking… at least not yet. It’s called a magic mirror but it’s more a smart mirror: pictures from the original guy who did it here: http://michaelteeuw.nl/post/84026273526/and-there-it-is-the-end-result-of-the-magic

A couple of things I want to play with and any that work really well will cause me to buy more, because I’d have 3 specific use cases.

1) A Home Bridge server that can supplement Apple HomeKit by connecting to non-compatible smart home devices.

2) Building a “Magic Mirror” and using this as the computer behind it.

3) Use it as a portable Linux server to supplement programming on my iPad.

Yep! 😁😁😁

Awesome job!

That is the worst 😞

Also, here’s the standard interview questions we talk over:

General Section

• Introduce yourself
• How did you discover the IndieWeb?
• What does being part of the IndieWeb mean to you?
• What (if any?) IndieWebCamp events have you attended, and were there any that stuck out to you in a special way?
• Is there anything new or any changes you hope to see in the IndieWeb community over the next year?

Tech Section

• What service or software powers your website?
• What is something you’ve added or built on your website recently that you are particularly happy with?
• Have you run into any challenges or problems recently that you’d like help with from the IndieWeb community?
• What is the next thing you’d like to do with your website?

Yep, it’s all set! 👍 A few tech details. Do you have Skype? I’ve been using that to interview everyone. If you have an external mic, even if if’s just EarPods, that’s best for the recording.

Thanks! It’s funny that as a programmer I’ve been unable to figure out uses for Workflow and Shortcuts. It’s something about the simplified nature of the app that throws me off and I have to figure out the “language” of it. But this worked great! Looking forward to setting up more!

I’m really excited because when it’s grocery time my wife sends me a long list of grocery items via text message so I’ve tried different ways of getting that into my task manager but they all involved a lot of manual effort, until now. 😁 now it’s just copy-run-paste

Ohhhh! Interested to hear more! 😁

Awesome, happy to help! Vancouver isn’t super high the list (as I have to go west AND north) but if I ever come out there, I look forward to visiting! 😁

Very cool! Congrats 👏

For example, Boston is possibly starting an IndieWeb Meetup (https://twitter.com/Dries/status/1049071136791826437) and some virtual IndieWeb meetups (https://twitter.com/jgmac1106/status/1049785385482641409)

Currently, existing meetups will continue to be called HWC as to not confuse previous attendees. New meetups have the option to call themselves IndieWeb meetup or HWC. Either way it gets included in the events calendar (https://indieweb.org/events/2018-10-10-homebrew-website-club#Vancouver) Notice the only reason Vancouver is linked to another page here is because it’s meeting on a Tuesday rather than Wednesday which is the usual. Both IndieWeb meetups and HWC will be included in the weekly newsletter, and the routine podcasts (This Week in the IndieWeb Audio Edition and My Url Is). I don’t foresee any visitors being confused by it being called an IndieWeb meetup, in fact, I think you might have more visitors because people who are familiar with IndieWeb but NOT the HWC name will still be interested in attending.

I love having On This Day built into my website with historical posts. I just re-read a post from 10 years ago about my trip to Europe

Sounds like a great time! Glad you all had fun! Also, don’t feel pressure to rename it to Homebrew Website Club. At the last Organizers Meetup, IndieWeb Meetup was actually discussed as a likely possible rebranding of HWC, so you all might just be ahead of the curve! When I relaunch my local meetup, I’ll be calling it IndieWeb Meetup as well!

Excellent! It’s the best!

Watching Luke’s first episode of The Flash together. 🤗

Yeah, that’s essentially what we’ve been doing but it feels like there’s been more friction the more my wife wants to use the photos for things. But like you said, it works. Just a bit wonky.

Yay!!! ❤️ cleopatra

I don’t think it technically follows Salmention but it achieves similar results. Salmention requires each post to send it’s children posts up the chain. Since Micro.blog owns the whole thing it simplifies things. But the key is that if I’m not the originator of the conversation and someone replies to me, I’ll still be the replies to my post.

Attempting to figure out a new photo management solution for my family. Going from separate iCloud Photo Libraries to some shared method. First experiment is going to be exported folders in Dropbox. Anyone else have any suggestions about what they do?

💯 so awesome! Thanks!

It did! Yay! 👏🙌

Thanks, Target’s lack of support for Apple Pay has always bothered me, so I appreciated this insightful analysis.

🖖 when I’m up at odd hours with my son, I’m binging Star Trek Enterprise since it’s the first series in the Star Trek timeline. Working on wrapping it up so I can binge Star Trek Discovery season 1 before season 2 gets going too far through. cc/ @macgenie

Aww sad!! Sorry he had to get stitches but great to hear how well he handled it!

Just bought that the other day! Haven’t watched it yet, but going to soon! 😁 did you enjoy it?

That’s what I did as well

Enjoyed listening to this episode. Really good analysis 🙂

Completely agree!

Thanks!! 😁😁

Especially multiple timers while cooking! Oh my gosh, Shortcuts needs to be able to add timers to HomePod! For common dinners then you could just say what you were cooking and voila! 🎉

Glad to hear! I thought it was a podcast I would like to listen to, so I decided to make it! Glad it seems like others like the idea as well!

😆 excellent. It’s also useful to increase the brightness of the living room when you are carrying a baby with need of a diaper change and you just yell out for the HomePod to brighten the room.

I totally agree! I’ve been loving it! First thing I do in a long Tech podcast is open up the chapters to figure out what sections I might want to skip.

Super excited!! 🎉🎉 This is something I’ve actually been thinking about since July and it just took some time to plan, get the equipment and the tech workflows and decide to actually do it! And this first episode with @aaronpk was actually recorded almost two months ago as a test episode. It’s just been sitting around waiting to be released once I had a great list of guests to go after him

Thanks! I’m pretty excited about it. Huge props to @macgenie and [@manton](undefined) for Micro Monday which is the inspiration for this podcast. My hope and goal is to be able to provide another perspective on the IndieWeb people you’ve heard of and be able to highlight those you haven’t 🙂

Thanks! I definitely am excited about having more IndieWeb podcasts. The component that I thought was important was to make sure we had a variety of “types” of IndieWeb podcasts. There’s already a microcast @aaronpk, newscast @schmarty, long tech podcast @dshanske and @c so hopefully a guest podcast will help add to the variety and help create more opportunity for new voices in the IndieWeb community 🙂

🤯 New idea: every iOS app that has a “dark mode” should offer a Siri Shortcut for Light mode and Dark mode. Then you can create a multi-step Shortcut that transitions all your apps between modes! Let’s make this happen, people!

Launched a new podcast this week! You can find the first episode on the site or by following @MyURLIs. Each episode is <30 minutes and features a different person on the IndieWeb. This week was @aaronpk and I’ve got more really interesting guests on the way!

But is it devolved or evolved? 🤨

I know!! I’m so excited!! I’ve been waiting for them to finish producing them forEVER!! (Aka 3 months)

‪Proud to be the 1,004th 😎 on BackerKit for Mark One: A Minimal, Durable, Retractable Pen.. https://markone.backerkit.com/community_shares/883384‬

Awesome! Checking it out now! 🙂

Awesome! I’ve been wanting to look into that stuff! You should write a blog post about your setup 🙂

Looking forward to launching this podcast tomorrow! 🎉

Definitely! It’s a great idea. In fact, a couple of us in the IndieWeb chat have actually done some brainstorming and two people have worked on some code for that stuff.

Yay!!! 👏👏 Thanks!

Awesome job!! 👏👏 I’m sure that’s a relief!

Definitely. I think over time there will be more support and always great to reach out to the developers. I think the biggest issue is going to come from companies that are big enough to have other priorities and not in an industry where the shortcuts will actually bring in dollars.

One downfall of Siri Shortcuts is you quickly feel the pain of all of the apps that should have Shortcut support but don’t. 🤦‍♂️ and it’s not that hard to add support!! 😩

Oh wow! Those are really interesting!

Wow, those are some amazing photos! Thanks for linking to them!

I won’t be able to do NaNoWriMo this year (infants can do that to you. Haha!) but I’ve done it in years past and I think that’s a great idea. In a future year when I’m able to participate I think a discovery section and a pin would be awesome!

Wow!! Where’d you get those??

Wow, very cool!!

Wow, 10GB of historical podcasts. That’s just incredible!

Oh. My. Gosh! That is amazing and brilliant!

Hope you all had a great time celebrating his birthday!

Thankfully Apple auto-approved the new version of Indigenous on TestFlight so there was no waiting time! How rare!

That. It. Awesome.

Have a safe flight! 🛫

It is early! I was thinking about Instagram stories so I went to your website to look at your version, and saw it said you were in a Taxi and I thought “no way. It’s crazy early.” Haha!

Yeah that’s a new feature in the new version. It has different levels based on the historical consistency of the podcast. It can do everything from “Monthly” to “Monday Afternoons”

I was actually working on that this morning. There is one issue with the current build on my phone (after you open the channel settings you have to force quit the app to close it lol) Once I get that fixed I’ll push the next beta. Although I’m not sure how quickly it’ll get approved by Apple 🤞

Yeah, that’s pretty bad…. 🤔

I’m confused. What additional devices are you talking about?

I saw that second one pop up in my feed after I listened to the first and thought, “what?!?!?” 😲😲😲 🎉🎉 Double Weekly Review day!!

Thanks! It’s been fun planning and putting together! 😁
