I am learning the Apache Cordova toolset for developing apps using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I’m using the following books to help me get started:
I’ve been playing around, and decided to use the MIT AppInventor tutorials as my first projects. With that, here is my first app (TalkToMe). The user enters a text string, clicks a button and Android’s text-to-speech capabilities to speak the text.
You can download the app from my web site, and the source code is at Github – enjoy!
@mrmzholland I linked to one of your posts, let me know if my webmention works!
@pfefferle, I have installed your webaction WordPress plugin, is it working? What should I see?
I saw Tantek post about Ben Werdmuller’s offer of art to people who reply from their site, so here goes!
My notes from the Portland Homebrew Website meeting #indieweb https://andysylvester.com/?p=195
I made it to the Portland Homebrew Website meeting in Portland yesterday evening. This was my first time to attend, and I enjoyed the discussions. I said that I was approaching things from the user point of view, that I have just started adding IndieWeb features to my WordPress website, and that I felt I could add value by writing up my experiences and creating screencasts. The video link between Portland and San Francisco was nice to have, but the sound part wasn’t too good. Overall, everyone was very welcoming. Thanks to Mozilla for hosting!
One topic I asked about was the POSSE concept, and how that contrasts with people’s use of IRC. My observation was that some people do not post often on their site, but spend a lot of time talking with people on IRC. I thought that Aaron Parecki’s explanation of IRC as “quick communication” was good.
I have only been working on IndieWeb stuff for a few weeks, so some things (like IRC and Twitter) are still a little new to me. I’ll keep working on it, though!
Working with Webmention for WordPress – video #indieweb https://andysylvester.com/?p=182
This is a test of the Webmention plugin for WordPress. Here is a link to another post.
I have created a short screencast below to show how to install and test the Webmention plugin for WordPress, feedback is welcome!
@pfefferle I am testing your Webmention WP plugin, so far so good! https://andysylvester.com/?p=173
I am testing webmentions on my site, I am linking back to another post.
Thanks to Kartik Prahbu on the IndieWebCamp IRC channel for posting a webmention to one of my posts, I was able to see the comment in my moderation panel!
I did have a question about my testing, and I am adding this information to hopefully get some help from others.
Looking at my curl response, I wonder why it would have a 404 Not Found message even though I was able to see the webmention comment. Here is a screenshot:
Any comments?
Matt is working on testing webmentions, let’s see if this makes it back!
