• Shipped my new webmentions dashboard in Tanzawa. You can see a preview of them on this post on the Tanzawa development blog.

    And we're live on prod!

  • Refactored the design of the webmentions this morning. I added the number of un-reviewed webmentions at the top and put them in a details/summary tag. The author name links to their homepage. Below that is a link to the webmention source displaying only the domain.

    Reviews are handled via a big thumbs up or thumbs down on the far right. This bit isn't hooked up yet, but it will be soon enough. I also added a button to quickly take you to the new status page.

    Webmentions refactored


    Next I need to add an api / view to handling the approval / disapproval click. And a menu item on the left to view all webmentions would be handy as well.
  • With /r/wallstreetbets going private because the people are taking a bail out from the hedge funds, I can't help but think that we're on the first steps of a swing away from a centralized web. Finally. βœŠπŸš€

  • I started working on webmention displays for the dashboard in Tanzawa. Preview πŸ‘‡:

    The base webmention layout


    Content is plain text and limited to 140 characters (after which it will truncate nicely). There's a link to review it on the left and the source of the webmention is also linked. The webmention kind is displayed on the bottom right if it can be determined.

    Using the html5 <object> tag I can handle broken images or no author photo quite easily.Β 

    A broken author photo example


    Come to think of it...these could be used as the base for displaying the interactions in a post as well...
  • Thank you to Colin for replying and sending Tanzawa its first non-test webmention.Β 

    Today I fixed some layout bugs and started working on a home / dashboard screen for the publishing side of Tanzawa. For starters it's going to display just the last 5 posts / webmentions and a button to write a new status.

    Currently each wbmention shows it's review status (πŸ‘ or πŸ‘‰), source url, and a link to the django admin to review (or delete) it.Β  Instead of the source url (as that's not super helpful) I plan to show who it's from, the kind of webmention, and a link to view it. Eventually I'd like to normalize this data into the database, so I don't need to parse html on each page load, but I'm still working on the table schema in my head.

    Once I get the dashboard "working", I think it's time to expand to other post types. Articles would be easiest - as it's just a status with a title. It will also force me to normalize sidemenus and post listing logic. After that I'd like to support checkins via a micropub endpoint so I can get my swarm checkins from OwnYourSwarm.
