@evertp @markusstaab I built some Twitter buttons into my site, but haven't iterated on them as I'd like to:
https://boffosocko.com/2017/12/24/adding-simple-twitter-response-buttons-to-wordpress-posts/

 

@matpacker There's some documentation at https://indieweb.org/Workflow.
I also suspect that some of the WordPress/iOS crowd hanging out in micro.blog may have some experience with this.Searching in chat may reveal more: https://chat.indieweb.org/indieweb/

 

@cogdog No, I meant the main body text on that (and other pages). Compare the text "It’s useful to have an entrance gate..." with the cartoon background to "Example for "Building a Front Entrance..." which has a solid background.

 

@matpacker Fingers crossed.

 

@cogdog I have a lot of email spammers talking about my site who can't spell CONVERSATIONS either. What's worse is that when I contact them, none have ever even heard of simple standards like Webmention.
;)

 

@cogdog While I like the text on busy background is difficult to read/process. Example: https://extend-bank.ecampusontario.ca/assignments/site-publisher/
Perhaps a solid background under the text would be nicer?

 

Replied to a post on kfitz.info :

Here's an example of a reply from an entirely different website that isn't affiliated with micro.blog or WordPress--It's running the WithKnown CMS.

Congrats on getting two-way conversations going on your website.

 
 

My birthday is today, the 8th. Your wife's birthday as well? Send her my best.

 

@davewiner I've had some reasonable experience with using https://www.subtome.com/ to create a better modern interface for users as a gateway into RSS. We need to make it easier for people to want to consume things outside of Facebook and Twitter.

 

@jameshull We should be getting back to a more regular schedule for the LA area Homebrew Website Club soon if you're interested in some of this stuff: https://indieweb.org/next-hwc

 

@wiobyrne If you don't like the date/time stamp, perhaps something inconspicuous like a fleuron or a # with the link wrapped? It's smaller and out of the way visually, but still usable. You could grayscale it to help it bleed into the background like scripting.com?

 

@wiobyrne If you change the date/time linked URLs from
https://hypothes.is/a/Y03z2H4QEeiWPlcSnuxgKA to
https://hyp.is/Y03z2H4QEeiWPlcSnuxgKA
They'll link, instead of to the standalone versions which might be more appropriate for syndication link usage, to the original document on the web and auto-scroll to the location of the annotation. This might give you a tiny bit more of the UI functionality you're looking for.

 

@wjmaggos @aral Depends on how distributed you're looking for. https://news.indieweb.org/ is set up to aggregate content which is first posted on other's sites & syndicated (currently w/o voting).

https://indieweb.xyz/en launched today which includes categories and voting.

 

@aral Making RSS easier to subscribe to is often a UI hurdle, particularly when browsers don't discover it. Perhaps borrowing the pattern of the ubiquitous "follow me" button is more worthwhile for the next generation? SubToMe has a solid open solution: https://www.subtome.com/
