I was reading #edtechafterdark stream, but I get impression that it was a veiled excuse for a Monday night .gif-off competition. #whowon?

Want to know what I've been reading lately? I post a steam of it on my own site here:

Reading through the schedule for WordCamp Orange County on 6/10-11 @ocwordcamp #WCOC
https://2017.oc.wordcamp.org/schedule/

I've now added my listen, jam, and bookmark feeds from my main site into http://micro.blog/c. They're prepended with descriptive emoji to give people reading the feeds some additional idea about what those status updates are about and what they might find by clicking through.

UX/UI Suggestion: Meta box in the admin UI with PressForward metadata and comments · Issue #902 · PressForward/pressforward https://github.com/PressForward/pressforward/issues/902

I'd suggest that it would be worthwhile and convenient to have a meta box in the admin UI for editing the final draft that contained all of the pre-existing PressForward metadata.

Bits and pieces of it appear in other portions of the PressForward UI throughout the vetting (reading, nominating) process (typically hidden under the "info" button which pops up the details), but having portions of it while actually editing the draft of the post would be very handy/useful. In particular, it would be nice to have access to the comments which are added to the particular piece in the earlier parts of the process.


Comments in particular, would presumably have ideas, thoughts, and editorial leanings that could help the writer/editors shape the final piece or notes on/around it, but as it stands, one needs to dig back into the PressForward interface, typically with search, to re-uncover the particular data and notes relevant to the original piece.

Ideally making it relatively small so that it could fit into the sidebar may be the most beneficial. If you want to go all-in on such a feature, I've seen a fantastic meta box in the [Academic Blogger's Toolkit plugin](https://github.com/dsifford/academic-bloggers-toolkit) labeled "Reference List" which is pinnable and maintains its position at the top of the UI while the rest of the page scrolls.

UI: Duration doesn't make sense in Read post kind · Issue #65 · dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/65

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.

Example: http://boffosocko.com/2016/11/14/chris-aldrich-is-reading-facebook-restores-iconic-vietnam-war-photo-it-censored-for-nudity/

For a small portion of IndieWeb sites, the scraper is returning data in these fields that are identical for both the published and updated fields which returns an odd duration result as well. (See: http://boffosocko.com/2016/11/11/chris-aldrich-is-reading-fragmentions-for-poets/) Perhaps if the date/time in both fields are identical, there could be some error checking to prevent a spurious output since published shouldn't equal updated.

Yesterday my reading sense presciently picked up on the impending sale of #Instapaper to #Pinterest: http://boffosocko.com/2016/08/22/a-new-reading-post-type-for-bookmarking-and-reading-workflow
