Homebrew Website Club

Tantek Çelik:

welcome to Homebrew Website Club and Mozilla

on tantek.com I got one thing done - when I post an RSVP to an event, I now use bridgy publish to POSSE that to FB

I write in either cassis or PHP - cassis is the intersection of javascript and PHP, I made code that runs in both

Ben Werdmüller:

search on my site has been a pain because I was using MySQL full text indexes, which prevents stopwords like 'known'

I was trying to link to a hashtag with 2 characters, and soeon else was searching for god on their site

so now you can use known to find God

I've also been extracting bootstrap 2 from the site so we can replace it with bootstrap 3 or foundation or polymer

Tantek Çelik:

search has been a pain point for me - google search has been less specific over time

Benjamin Goering:

I am a fan of elasticsearch (in reference to ranking.ninja)

Kyle Mahan:

I had a service running on heroku that posts to tumblr, wordpress and blogger which now runs on silo.pub

as I did this while Kevin was going on the TWiG show, @leolaporte was the first person to sign into silo.pub

Josh Juran:

http://www.vcode.org/ is the new site that I just launched for my new programming language V

freemount is a remote file access protocol that runs over ssh, which works well with virtual file systems

Benjamin Goering:

I got some microprocessors recently, so am experimenting with webservers running on small CPUs in your house

Ryan Barrett:

there is a similar project called unhosted that stores users data in their dropbox accounts

Benjamin Goering:

Google announced the physical web repo so that small devices that could broadcast their URL to nearby devices

Tantek Çelik:

Scott Jensen is behind the physical web ideas at Google

Benjamin Goering:

you could make a raspberry pi attached to a tv that hears the devices URL and greets you by name by parsing hcard

I ran into Dan Gillmor at the annotation workshop in NYC recently, but there is a tension between company and journalist

Ryan Barrett:

there is a big graveyard of web annotation projects

Faruk Ateş:

Hi I'm Faruk designer/developer made modernizr - has anyone written here an html5 app for windows 8?

Tantek Çelik:

all of our websites are html5 apps, so why not have them on the windows store?

Faruk Ateş:

the goal it to make it possible to sell web apps to Windows Store users, but have not seen much uptake

Tantek Çelik:

this sounds a lot like the firefox micromarketplace (as well as the chrome store)

everyone has their own manifest format - chrome, firefox and windows store because the w3c standard isn't final yet

Ryan Barrett:

I work on brid.gy with @kylewmahan

one thing that resonated with me was that using the indieweb from your phone does not work well now- no great setup
