I am a member of the W3C Social Web Working Group (https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg), and have been organizing IndieWebCamp (https://indieweb.org/) conferences in this space for the last 7 years. We've been making a lot of progress:

* https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ - cross-site commenting

* https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ - API for apps to create posts on various servers

* https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/ - realtime subscriptions to feeds

* More: https://indieweb.org/specs

We focus on making sure there are a plurality of implementations and approaches rather than trying to build a single software solution to solve everything.

Try commenting on my copy of this post on my website by sending me a webmention! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/06/08/9/indieweb

Same! I was hoping to buy the new update to it next month! The 9.7" iPad feels too big for most of what I want to do with it.

From the Privacy Policy in the app:

Their terms of service also prohibit apps from using "gram" in the name.

At the end, the author mentions that this type of software is available for iOS as well. My understanding of iOS is that this kind of thing is virtually impossible, because 1) apps must be distributed through the app store, and will be removed if found to be spyware, and 2) app developers have much less ability to do things in the background, especially using the microphone and camera. Is there anything written about actual examples of this kind of spyware on iOS yet?

The only clients I've had trouble with SNI is Amazon and Apple's Java clients, as well as python2. It's unfortunately still not possible to host a podcast feed with an SNI HTTPS URL in iTunes, nor can you use SNI for Alexa skills. Otherwise, I've been happily using SNI for years now.

Is there an API? Can I export my data?

I'd be interested in using this if I can get the data out. I've been posting everything I eat and drink to my own website for the past few years, sometimes with photos sometimes just text. I'd love to have a better workflow for doing that!

This sounds like responsible handling, disclosure, and remedying of the problem.

If you want to grant it read-only to public repos, try this link:

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a .zip file with the site after I made it to the bottom, rather than a call-to-action pushing me to sign up for some hosting plan! Well done.

Did not see that coming.

Sadly it is now invisible to the web archive http://web.archive.org/web/20161024110012/http://wiki.c2.com...

They did launch! I've had the card for a month or so. Tho I haven't found as many opportunities to use it as I had hoped

Great line: "The only thing that matters in software is the experience of the user."

I agree it's a personal preference thing for sure. I just really am not compelled by the threaded view of mailing lists. I prefer being able to quickly scan text to "catch up" on things, and I have filters to catch any of the important things I don't want to miss.

That's awesome, I'll take a look at that. Do you know if it logs to disk the same way weechat logs IRC channels? Right now I'm a little annoyed that I don't have local logs of the Slack channels I'm in.

Glowing Bear is great! I've been using it since a few months after writing this.

Thanks! A few months after writing this article I actually discovered glowing-bear and have been using that now too! It's now the primary way I access weechat, both on my laptop and on my phone.

This looks nice. Would you consider adding Micropub support (https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/) so that someone could use this editor with their own blog backend?

For example, I have my own software that runs my website, and I've spent a lot of time making it work exactly how I want. But, I'm not the best at building editing interfaces, so I have avoided building an inline posting interface. I would much rather use a tool that someone has spent a lot of time making work well, if it can save articles to my own website.

Don't worry, it will come back soon

It seems they're pushing one of the differences which is that this doesn't sync to a folder on your computer. The files only live in the cloud.

Why this is better than a syncing approach is not clear to me.

I was hoping the "new spin" would be something a little more radical.

It looks like it's sending them alphabetically. I wonder at what point in the alphabet someone hit the kill switch.

The first speaker at Beyond Tellerrand said this in his talk about 15 minutes ago. Coincidence? Or was this submitted by someone at the conference?

Looks like it's meant to be held with your right hand. I wonder if you can make it flip the screen so left handed people can use it too.

I wrote about how and why I switched to Gogs from GitLab and Bitbucket here: https://aaronparecki.com/2016/02/13/18/

I just made an issue to capture that request, that could definitely be interesting. https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues/62

The main reason Webmention is less susceptible to spam than Trackback is, is because with Trackback, there is no requirement that the comment text have its own URL. At least with Webmention, a spammer has to create a URL for the spam comment.

The webmention.io service sends a secret token in the payload so you can verify the request came from there.

Hi there, I made webmention.io. I haven't updated the readme or home page yet, but I recently added a "web hook" feature which is similar to what you're talking about with Trackbacks. The service will receive and verify the webmention, parse the page, and then send a post request with the contents of the comment. The format it sends looks like this http://indiewebcamp.com/jf2#Example

So, it's not quite trackback, but hopefully it's more useful!
