IndieWeb Summit Portland Demos
we're going to demo what we've done this weekend at #indiewebsummit - 5 minutes each
My url is http://veganstraightedge.com - get your stickers of the new logo that I designed based on @crystalbeasley
I published a series of blogposts that I've been writing for a while. I still plan to start a podcast
http://veganstraightedge.com/indieweb is the table of contents for my article series
the 1st 5 are What Where When How and Who of the indieweb
I syndicated them all to tumblr, wordpress and medium too and linked back as canonical
the medjum ones like https://medium.com/@veganstraightedge/regarding-the-indie-web-where-92bfb4ddcd83#.7eaz3e51g get the built-in canonical link back too
I like it that people have been writing longer form pieces again, and keep it up
I'm writing my book https://www.masteringdfsanalytics.com/ on line, so I added webmentions and bridgy
If you link to my book, on that URL https://www.masteringdfsanalytics.com/ I should see it.
My site is http://notenoughneon.com this is thready - a proof co concept of indieweb crawling technology
with indieweb readers you only see a small portion of a thread - I only see 3 posts in this thread
If I paste any of the links from these posts in her it will crawl the whole thread and sort by date
so you can see the entire thread [applause] Code is at github.com/notenoughneon/thready
my website is http://gRegorLove.com and I wanted to add local search my site today
so I can find all my portland posts with http://gregorlove.com/search/?q=portland&after_date=&before_date=&s=1
my url is http://www.anomalily.net - last year I tried to redesign my whole site, this year just the front page
this morning I checked on archive.org and I hadn't changed my front page since 2012
so I updated it so it isn't just 8 year ago pictures, and now it has accurate contact info
my site is https://kylewm.com - my goal was to add a service worker to woodwind.xyz
it loaded the service worker, when I'm offline instead of an error it says "I'm offline and it feels so good"
If I'm on my phone when I open woodwind a couple of times, it prompts me to add to homescreen
then it pops up on the homescreen as an app and loads this sweet app-looking thing
next is adding offline reading and commenting, but that's as far as I got today
My name is Sandro and I have a lot of URL but hawke.org is good enough
I gathered Kyle and Amy and Aaron's likes to look for like-of and rel="prev"
I sorted by liked by all 3, 2 or 1 and this is the top 20 http://hawke.org/indie-liked.html
my url is https://herestomwiththeweather.com and I wanted to auto-deploy when I edit it
I added a post receive hook to add a ruby script that updates the code then sends webmentions
I check if any new posts are in the feed and if so I send webmentions for the post
I'm Cassie and my url https://cassie.wtf but I worked on sensible.mn today
this morning the images didn't look right on sensible.mn, and now it works and shows images
I'm Jesus, my url is http://jfrndz.com
I worked on improving my jekyll workflows. I moved all my images and media assets into git lfs
I now have full timestamps wiht timezones, not just dates
I surveyed attendees to work out #indeweb best practices for urls and hosting
the most common thing was "don't use godaddy" - the next most common was "it depends"
if you have your own domain name you can start with tumblr or something, then switch it later
wordpress was quite a common thing; jekyll and other static sites were considered a bit more advanced
more advanced things like webmention and micropub were next on the list
my notes are at http://etherpad.indiewebcamp.com/onboarding-survey
my site is at https://david.shanske.com and I did something boring today
I updated the webmention endpoint URL so that if you call it without parameters it gives a form instead of an error
I'm Julie of http://julieannenoying.com and I took photos of you all and put them on my flickr
yesterdays photos are at https://www.flickr.com/photos/tollwerk/sets/72157669305156105
I'm at aaronpk.com - my orignal plan was to screenshot my bookmarks
but instead I update teacup to upload photos https://teacup.p3k.io/ because we need more photos of food online
here's a photo of my coffee from this afternoon https://aaronparecki.com/2016/06/05/8/
my bookmarks now look like this https://aaronparecki.com/bookmarks because I grab screenshots
sometimes I get blank images, which I think is javascript problems
it renders webpages to pdf and shows them
I'm tantek http://tantek.com/ and this is William Madison of http://blindinsight.com/
William pointed out that we had very bad alt text on our homepage, so now they read better
none of the content was marked up well, it was all <b> and <br> - so now they are h3's
changing to h3's meant that I get the ability to navigate and know what is to come
my screen reader is Talkback on android
I heard talkback reading back 'column 1 row 1' - it was a table. So we fixed it and it is pure CSS
I know a little bit about CSS so that helped.
then we got to homebrew website club, and we got a picture that didn't tell me anything
we used mediawiki's default way of linking to an image, and it was the name of the image - so the img is now below text
and then we did one more thing
link 1, what did it mean? then link 2 - but why would I want to click on that?
if you put a link in with brackets around it, mediawiki maeks it [1] but it reads out as link 1
read all will read up to a link and then stop. Wikipedia is bad at this as it footnotes all the links
so we cut the redundant links from the homepage - we changed the alt of the photo to not repeat the caption
so we changed alt text to 'photo of past event' and then read the caption.
Then I could click to the event, if i wanted to, but knew it was not the last event
so we should put some guidlines up on how to author the wiki text for accessibility
but these accesibility edits improved the home page for everyone
there is also a plugin for wordpress wp-accesibility that adds accessibility info
the learning I got from this was to edit the alt text to make sense in context fo text before and after it
1 things for apps - If you're on android install 'accessibility screener' by google and it will warn you
I'm at https://scottgruber.me I was working on post types for articles and notes
I was able to sign in to the wiki with my domain, and add microformats on my articles and notes
I added a related articles link to match articles with the same category
I was able to validate my pages with indiewebify.me
Bridgy is a tool for sucking back your responses from social network sites back to your own site
@snarfed posted stats: bridgy has >3k users, ~500k webmentions sent (successfully) to ~1k unique domains,
and @snarfed said >4M responses handled (likes, comments etc), 13k POSSEs, total cost of ~$.01/user/month
here's his link http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-06-05/line/1465168146110
those were some really good demos built in a day - great job everyone
there are some indiewebcamp t-shirts left in medium for $20/each - we will do another run
the next indiewebcamp is on August 27-28 in New York City
nothing is yet planned for July, but if someone wants to organise an indiewebcamp go to indiewebcamp.com
I thought there was one in Edinburgh but I may be making that up
Please come to indiewebcamp New York - @t showed up last time
last time there was a snowstorm
I can almost guarantee there won't be a snowstorm in New York in August
Strangely enough, a lot of airlines fly to New York - you can get there from most places
LA is warm in november when nowhere else is so come to Indiewebcamp there
