by JamesI've got bookmarks working - it's been mostly a copy/paste of the reply templates and generalizing the views to share as much as possible.
One thing I noticed was that while my extract method works with sites with proper microformat or schema data - it doesn't work for sites without either. So tomorrow I'll modify it to default to the page title and then update that value based on parsed meta-data.Adding a bookmark in Tanzawa -
by JamesAdded support for replies to my micropub endpoint today. Super simple. Adding support for bookmarks shouldn't take but a day or two as it's mostly the same as replies. Switching to Tanzawa is getting closer and closer.

Counting Down the Tasks
by JamesI got a good question from Adam (@TalAdam) about why I have Tanzawa on a subdomain, rather than my main domain. While the answer is simple it's a good opportunity to discuss my plans for Tanzawa in the mid-term future.
To answer Adam's question:- 1. When I started Tanzawa I didn't have a domain (or even a name), so I started with a domain I owned.
- 2. I need to build up my minimal feature parity of my current blog before I can switch my main domain from Wordpress to Tanzawa.
What's remaining for my minimal feature parity? Only three parts: bookmarks/likes, checkins (w/ maps), and photo posts. Technically four - but photo posts are lower on the list. Once that's done I'll need to figure out how to migrate my data and create a huge redirect map for nginx. Perhaps by the end of the month?
Once I migrate my main site to Tanzawa what's left for this blog? I plan to redirect it somewhere on the tanzawa.blog domain. From there, I'll continuing using this blog as a development blog as I polish Tanzawa for a proper release that other people can use. -
Response to
by JamesI started working on replies in Tanzawa. Introducing Turbo to add some dynamism to admin interface. It’s turned into a bigger rabbit hole than expected. I imagine most rails devs are familiar with the basics of Turbo (Links) but as a Django dev, things like Turbo aren’t included, so there’s a bit of a learning curve for me to implement it properly. That said – it’s coming along.
Although I said it's coming along earlier today, I got it all working and I decided to ship despite replies not being implemented in my micropub endpoint yet.
One thing I'd like is to make responding to a tweet via Tanzawa as smooth as butter, so it's quick to tweet and reply from your own site. I imagine I can do that if I integrate with Bridgy. -
The Week #34
by James- I forget what I was searching for but I found this fantastic blog (in English) about trains in Japan called Tokyo Railway Labrinth. It has history of different trains and so much more. I love when I find a site where someone is just geeking out about their passion online.
- During the week some co-workers and I were discussing burgers. This gave me a craving for an avocado cheese burger from Kua`Aina. I recounted the story of how, even though in Japan you're supposed to have a nice light Japanese meal the day before the birth of your child, my wife was craving a burger and calories, so we went to the Enoshima Kuga`Aina before Leo was born. It was delicious as always. And since we got there right after they opened, not busy.
- I also visited the Fujiko Museum in Kawasaki over the weekend a.k.a. the Doraemon museum. I've never read the manga, but I have watched a couple of the movies (Leo's going through a mini-boom at the moment). It was pretty great, though I spent most of the time holding Leo watching this giant Rube Goldberg machine move a bunch of different balls across the room.
