Kyle Mahan:

I've been working on flickr integration with brid.gy - bridgy pulls content from socal sites and feeds it back to you

Ryan Barrett:

commonly you will post an article then send a link to facebook or twitter, but people comment there - bridgy helps

Laurel Schwulst:

I've been using Kirby and the author was interested in webmentions

Kyle Mahan:

I'm adding twitter support to silo.pub now - that's working now

normally you add links to your blog to say how to do it, but I had to set up a proxy for twitter to get the endpoint

I want to do the same things for the other blogs so there is a url for them under silo.pub too

micropub is the other direction from webmention - it's an api for posting to a blogging site

silo.pub bridges from the micropub api to wordpress, tumblr, blogger and now twitter

Laurel Schwulst:

I want to use my site as a tool for myself and to publish for other people

I use a tool called arena - it's like a research based pinterest and I have a collection of animals

I would like one of the things I post on my site is these kinds of collections - I'd like to dogfood it that way

Ryan Barrett:

dogfooding is when you build somthing you should use it for a real task yourself to make sure it is useful

Laurel Schwulst:

I'm not sure how to build it - I am using the arena site to post ti to as well

Ryan Barrett:

that's what we call POSSE- you post on your own site but bring back the community stuff to your own site

Kyle Mahan:

you need to decide whether you want to post your site first and then send it versus bring it back the other way

Kevin Marks:

I'm thinking about slack integrations and what aaronpk was saying about replacing irc with webmentions

Ryan Barrett:

other than constantly fixing facebook bugs in bridgy, I've been trying to rad more things in af eed reader

facebook is now making it so that you can't read your news feed through the api any more, so I had to workaround

Kevin Marks:

I also updated pestagram.com to have full size images and videos in as well, so you can subscribe to them

Ryan Barrett:

I want to encourage people to author more raw html rather than waiting to tool up to make an indie event etc

Kevin Marks:

I manually posse'd a post to buzzfeed and their editor is interesting as it has a series of blocks

Ryan Barrett:

we kind of went astray with explicit post types - to decide what you are making

Kevin Marks:

we could separate the authoring of special types from the posting using micropub

Laurel Schwulst:

I found a repost of this event before I found the original one, but it worked

designers don't always post their past work, or have it viewable - I want things to be viewable

Kevin Marks:

aaron has a tool spiderpig for archiving sites so they can be statically served to preserve design choices too

Laurel Schwulst:

I have a project called living aggregator that uses kimono to redisplay he content in a way the original design
