UI: Duration doesn't make sense in Read post kind · Issue #65 · dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds https:/
When making a "Read" post in which data exists in the "time" tab for published dt and updated dt, the output displays more like one would anticipate with a music post type (or jam, listen, play, watch, travel) using start/end vocabulary instead and outputting a "Duration".
Duration may make sense if one were doing a start/end time for their reading, but then the scraper shouldn't be automatically pulling in the publish/update dates/times. Personally I'd prefer to let the publication time of my post indicate when the thing was read and have Post Kinds indicate the publication of the original piece I was reading.
Possibly better would be an if/then statement to differentiate types and for Read types outputting a date/time for the original publication and/or potentially an updated date/time if it exists.
At present, the issue is most common on New York Times posts for which the scraper pulls in the correct metadata.
