Tantek Çelik:

I finally got automatic sending of webmentions in my replay posts working instead of using curl

the same one click that says "publish this, call pubsubhubbub, send to twitter" now sends webmentions

in the preview UI that I have, it also now shows who will get webmentions when I post

My CMS is called Falcon, and the open source part is Cassis

a later iteration would be to do these asynchronously and update the UI as they happen.

Kevin Marks:

you can curl http://web.archive.org/save/[url] to archive a post

medium is being indieweb friendly by creating 'originally on' links per http://tantek.com/2015/168/t2/five-words-permalink-that-make-silo-post

Tantek Çelik:

there's 2 forces working against feeds —laziness in that we already have html pages that everyone can see; a feed is more work

from the large company perspective they don't see the RoI on feeds - why are we making these?

Justin Kruger:

doesn't the code for a feed come for free with a CMS?

Tantek Çelik:

No code is free - if you add a feature to your CMS the feed now needs changing too

Ben Werdmüller:

Apple just announced a news app, but the publishers can't do the bizdev deals with feeds

Justin Kruger:

How do we provide economic incentive to keep the web open?

I'm going to lose Yahoo pipes soon, and I use it

Yahoo pipes can take a while to render the pipe

Kevin Marks:

could you use Pubsubhubbub to provide a Pipes equivalent without the lag?

Tantek Çelik:

barnaby built a pipes competitor a while ago at https://waterpigs.co.uk/intertubes/

Ben Werdmüller:

google has a thing that bids against google ads for you to pay the site directly

Kevin Marks:

I saw @ftrain's wonderful article on code this week and I'd love to send him $5 for it

Tantek Çelik:

I've suggested a "pay me" page that links to various payment services that you accept so you can use it to send money

the idea is to do it like this: https://indiewebcamp.com/payment

Justin Kruger:

one of the things that facebook does that twitter dowsn't is personalising the news feed

Ben Werdmüller:

micropub and indieauth are now on by default in withknown.com so ti is much easier

also @erinjo has built a new theme for Known that has a rich preview of photos and maps

the other thing has been to publish out from Known with micropub to other sites, including othwr Known

Kevin Marks:

will this also work with silo.pub ?

Ben Werdmüller:

yes we will make this work too
