Notes from tonight's Homebrew Website Club SF : http://www.kevinmarks.com/hwc2016-05-04.html … #indieweb

#indieweb @t: we also have a $1000 fund from an anonymous donor to fund underrepresented groups to come

#indieweb @t: the 6th annual indieweb summit in portland is at http://2016.indieweb.org  - buy a ticket for $5 or send an indie RSVP for free

#indieweb @t: Also, this weekend is the second Indiewebcamp Dusseldorf, which has about 60 people coming

#indieweb @t: if you want to implement a deleted post

#indieweb @t: so the slug should not be part of the unique identifier

#indieweb @t: if you delete a post you shouls probably delete a slug - the part of the url that has words from the post

#indieweb @t: I have a small demo that is only working on my laptop - this is a deleted post on my site

#indieweb @kevinmarks: a previous thought along these lines: http://epeus.blogspot.com/2002/08/blogthevote2002usa.html …

#indieweb @brittb: we could aggregate this for the constituents as well as the politicians - so they are tracking numbers too

#indieweb @ZoeSchiffer: do constituents get to see this feedback?

#indieweb @brittb: instead of the politicians being the owner of the district, theya re the agent of the voter

#indieweb @brittb: every local secretary of state maintains the voter file of addresses of registered voters and party affiliation

#indieweb @brittb: so far it's been impossible to be effective politically without exposing your address

#indieweb @benwerd: you could also make this use indieauth to connect your website with your location zone

#indieweb @brittb: if we have your address, we can get the latlong, and then resolve to a constituency powerzone string

#indieweb @brittb: politicians love twitter because it lets them be broadcasters, we could give a backchannel that points to constituencies

#indieweb @brittb: if you go to http://newgov.net/demomap/index.html … you can find the powerzone for your address

#indieweb @brittb: I had to draw a boxes an arrows diagram to understand this - I want to see if people want this represented

#indieweb @brittb: so we create a set of map polygons that are the intersections of the constituency boundaries

#indieweb @brittb: because congressional committees specialise, if you can connect with constituents of the members you can connect

#indieweb @brittb: if a politician discovers a constituent cares about the issue, they care instantly

#indieweb @brittb: so you can make a post that refers to your political constituencies without identifying you

#indieweb @brittb: politicians are very sensitive to constitutents, so we have a mapping from jurisdictions to a string

#indieweb @brittb: I'm building a tool to help you manage politicians

#indieweb @kylewmahan: and it mutes him for an hour

#indieweb @kylewmahan: so I made http://quiettime.xyz  and I put in @kevinmarks because he is tweeting too much right now

#indieweb @kylewmahan: I really like the mute function on twitter but I forget to unmute people whoa re bing noisy for an hour

#indieweb @kevinmarks: webpages have cache expiry timestamps as well

#indieweb @npdoty: email already have expiry headers - not sure anyone uses it

#indieweb @t: if you delete a post and put a tombstone in your feed, how long do you leave it up there? 24 hours? longer

#indieweb @npdoty: is there a way to tell google that it is volatile? There is a change frequency notation

#indieweb @t: for stuff that is short term you block search engines, if it's longterm you may want more

#indieweb @t: should you block search engines from ephemeral posts?

#indieweb @t: you could also use this for a deadman switch style post that appears after a time

#indieweb @kevinmarks: you could also set the published time in the future to create ephemeral posts

#indieweb @dariusdunlap: you might have a need where you want to send it out to certain people but only to you afterwards

#indieweb @t: expiring content is useful - it doesn't look like noise in your stream later - like future bar plans

#indieweb @t: do I want to set the delete time to 0, or do I want to set a deleted date so I can undo it

#indieweb @npdoty: is it a proper delete? if there's ever a timezone bug will it reappear.

#indieweb @t: what I realised was that I can set the deleted date in the future so it would vanish like an indie snapchat

#indieweb @t: I was hacking in a bar with @benwerd to get deleted working - I added a dt-deleted date to hide the post

#indieweb @npdoty: I do a 307 which is supposed to be temporary redirect, not sue how that differs from 302

#indieweb @npdoty: if I give out a capability URL like this, then you still have the abiilty to resolve it

#indieweb @kylewmahan: this is like Flickr guest passes - a short term bypass of a login

#indieweb @dariusdunlap: but if I instapaper it, then it gets sent to @pinboard, so it it archived further

#indieweb @npdoty: yes, so if I trust you but I want it to go away in time form the irc, then I can use this
