Dear @withknown
I am my system administrator.
Any clue as to how much you did manage to import? That would be nice.
If I do try again, what are the chances of duplicates being created?
Thanks
Jeremy
Flippin' useless, @withknown import.
I winnowed the stopping place down by searching for things, using that splitting by halves technique, and discovered that the Import had choked after 318 lines -- of 12058.
In reality, I ought to just give this up, but I'll have a quick look at the database and see if I can't screw that up.
For the sake of completeness, and as a necessary stage in my web plans, I am now going to attempt to extract my files from vaviblog.com and import them here.
We're both on the same version of #withknown, so it Should Just Work, right?
Why the indieweb
1 min read
Richard MacManus is indiewebifying his site, and [had this to say](https://richardmacmanus.com/2017/06/22/openness-rivers-indieweb/):
> I’ve found the IndieWeb tools to be tremendously helpful, and the community to be open and friendly. But I think my own goals are a little different. I’m less interested in the technologies themselves (like microformats and webmention) and more interested in how they’re being used in the wider Web community. Not dissimilar to my interests when I started ReadWriteWeb. But of course to do this, I need to stand on the shoulders of the developers who build the tools.
All of which sums up my own position exactly. I'd go slightly further. I'm not as interested in how the technologies are being used in the wider Web community as I am in putting them to use myself.
*p.s. A major drawback of Withknown's excellent engine is that it doesn't allow New Posts to be replies, and that means I can't use the MarkDown formatting.*
Can @withknown do threaded replies? Seems silly to have to reply to my own post too to keep context
Hey @withknown: can't seem to find RSVPs in 0.9.9. Can you give me a clue?
Another update, another "Micropub error" from micro.blog and the latest @WithKnown.
Off to upgrade to the new @WithKnown release. I may be some time, although I expect not. Hoping for improved import/export to amalgamate my two sites.
Working my way through Chris Aldrich's guide to bringing Twitter @mentions home, and while the WP site is not responding, this #WithKnown site is. But, in the absence of a /mentions page, where on Earth are those backlinks going? And can I display them?
@kevinmarks Interesting piece, although @Withknown didn't like @velartrill's URL
Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I've kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don't want to shut it down until #WithKnown makes it possible to export data from that version and import it to the master. Not that there's anything all that valuable there, but still ...
The future of WithKnown
1 min read
The question "does @WithKnown have a future?" is cropping up increasingly frequently of late. And the "official" answer is that it most definitely does, look at all the activity on github, nothing has changed. And it's true, there has been a lot of activity and things are moving, if you go and look. But for someone just looking in and trying to decide whether to use the software, the lack of outward facing activity must be a bit off-putting.
Or maybe it isn't.
I have no idea.
All this was [kicked back and forth on the WithKnown IRC channel yesterday](https://github.com/mapkyca/KnownchatLogs/blob/master/2017-03-23.md), with -- alas -- no input (yet?) from the developers.
I'm going to continue trying to understand Known because right now it seems to me the best place to continue pursuing #indieweb ideals.
Pure voodoo. What did not work a couple of days ago works today. Exactly the same! So, Kudos to @dg01d and his plugin to syndicate from @withknown to pnut.
I wonder whether Brid.gy can talk to pnut.
Do you know anything as #indieweb capable as @withknown out of the box @raretrack ?
Mysterious typography
Cannot for the life of me work out why @WithKnown styles these two reply type posts differently -- but it does.
I wonder whether I can use the Recipe plugin for @withknown to markup a recipe for #indieweb and then copy the HTML to my own site?
Quick question for Chris Aldrich, which I may be able to answer myself by judicious experimentation: how do you reply to two URLs at once?
Later: well, it isn't by including two URLs in the reply to a site field!

Another test of Quill editor

Writing something nice again, but I have enabled the Markdown plugin on Known.
And maybe a headline too
Like this
Utterly bizarre; when I went to write a new post, the above was already there. In other words, the content of the post from Quill, without the block quote.
>This should be a markdown block quote.
I'm knackered. Will try some more tomorrow.
Completely mystified by editing a bookmark in @withknown

I cannot get my head around how @withknown is handling posts.
I bookmark a page, with a quote from the page:
I don't like the yellow behind the text. So I click on edit, expecting to be able to at least look around.
Where is the quote?
Beats me.
Plugging away

Bummed out by the fact that Quill wasn't enabling me to syndicate directly to Twitter, I followed up on some good advice from Daniel Gold: Back to basics, uninstall and reinstall plugins one by one. Shades of WordPress. So I did that, and here's what I found:
With IndieSyndicate configured (*via* silo.pub) I can posts to Twitter just fine, but Quill still does not see that as a Syndication target and Quill cannot post to my site.
In retrospect, that's obvious, because there is no endpoint at my site.
So I enabled IndiePub and now Quill posts fine, but it still does not see any Syndication target.
I probably just have to live with that. At least for now.
Finally, re-enabled Brid.gy and everything looks good once again.
Just for the record, here, I've decided that for now I do not need these plugins: Static pages, Firefox, Events, Custom JS, Custom CSS, Comics, Audio, API tester. That may change in time.
Having switched Quill's endpoint to my new instance of WithKnown, I thought it only right and proper that my first post there be my first post from Quill.<p> #indieweb</p>
A giant leap ... My own installation of #withknown in a sub-domain on my main site. Getting more serious about the #indieweb, but lots more still to do.
