But this shouldn\u2019t require being in the same room, whether IRL or chat.\n\nWe should be able to suggest edits to each other\u2019s posts, as easily as we can reply and add a comment.\n\n13 years ago I wrote\u00b2:\n\n\u00a0\u201cThe Read Write Web is no longer sufficient. I want the Read Fork Write Merge Web.\u201d\n\nNow I want the Read Write Suggest-Edit Accept-Edit Update Web.\n\nThe \u21aa Reply button is fairly ubiquitous in modern post user interfaces (UIs).\n\nWhy not also a \u270f\ufe0f Suggest Edit button, to craft a fix for a typo, grammar, or other minor error, and send the author for their review, and acceptance or rejection? Perhaps viewable only by the suggester and the author, to avoid \"performative\" suggested edits.\n\nIf the author\u2019s posts provide revision histories, when a suggested edit is accepted, a post\u2019s history could show the contributor of the edit.\n\nInstead of asking Kevin in-person, what if I could have posted special \"Suggested Edit\" responses in reply to his toots, for which he would receive special notifications, and could choose to one-click accept and update (or further edit) his toots?\n\nTo enable such UIs and interactions across servers and implementations, we may need a new type of response\u00b3, perhaps with a special property (or more) to convey the edits being suggested.\n\nThere is documentation of this and similar use-cases, prior art / UIs, as well as some brainstorming on the #IndieWeb wiki:\n* https://indieweb.org/edit\n\nOur interaction after IndieWebCamp has inspired me to take another look at how can we design and prototype solutions to this problem.\n\nFor now, if you host your blog and posts as static files on GitHub (or equivalent), you could add a button like this to your posts alongside Like, Reply, Repost buttons:\n\n\u270f\ufe0f Suggest Edit\n\nand link it to an edit URL for the static file for the post.\n\nI don\u2019t use GitHub static files myself for posts, but here\u2019s an example of such an edit link for one of my projects:\n\nhttps://tantek.com/github/cassis/edit/main/README.md\n\nThis will start the process of creating a \u201cpull request\u201d, GitHub\u2019s jargon\u2074 for a \u201csuggested edit\u201d.\n\nAfter completing GitHub\u2019s ceremony of entering multiple text fields (summary & description), and multiple clicks to create said \u201cpull request\u201d, it\u2019ll be sent to the author to review. Presuming the author likes the suggested edit, they can perform the other half of GitHub\u2019s jargon-filled ceremonies to \u201cMerge\u201d or \u201cSquash & Merge\u201d, \u201cDelete fork\u201d, etc. to accept the edit.\n\nIt\u2019s an awkward interaction\u2075, however useful for at least prototyping a \u270f\ufe0f Suggest Edit button on sites that store their posts as files in GitHub. Certainly worthy of experimenting with and gathering experience to design and build even better interactions.\n\nWe can start with the shortest path to getting something working, then learn, iterate, improve, repeat.\n\n#readWriteWeb #editableWeb #suggestEdit #acceptEdit\n\nReferences:\n\n\u00b9 https://indieweb.social/@kevinmarks/113025295600067213\n\u00b2 https://tantek.com/2011/174/t1/read-fork-write-merge-web-osb11\n\u00b3 https://indieweb.org/responses\n\u2074 The phrase \u201cpull request\u201d was derived from the git command: \u201cgit request-pull\u201d according to https://www.reddit.com/r/git/comments/nvahcp/comment/h12hzj7/\n\u2075 \u201cedits\u201d in GitHub require taking far more steps, and navigating far more jargon, then say, Wikipedia pages, which come down to \u201cEdit\u201d and \u201cSave\u201d.

But this shouldn\u2019t require being in the same room, whether IRL or chat.<br /><br />We should be able to suggest edits to each other\u2019s posts, as easily as we can reply and add a comment.<br /><br />13 years ago I wrote<a href=\"https://tantek.com/2024/245/t1/read-write-suggest-edit-update-web#t5Yn1_note-2\">\u00b2</a>:<br /><br />\u00a0\u201cThe Read Write Web is no longer sufficient. I want the Read Fork Write Merge Web.\u201d<br /><br />Now I want the Read Write Suggest-Edit Accept-Edit Update Web.<br /><br />The \u21aa Reply button is fairly ubiquitous in modern post user interfaces (UIs).<br /><br />Why not also a \u270f\ufe0f Suggest Edit button, to craft a fix for a typo, grammar, or other minor error, and send the author for their review, and acceptance or rejection?

        "text": "\u270f\ufe0f I want the Read Write Suggest-Edit Accept-Edit Update Web.\n\nThe consumer Infinite Scroll Web leaves us feeling empty.\n\nToo few of us participate in the Read Write Web, whether with personal sites or Wikipedia.\n\nA week ago when we wrapped up #IndieWebCamp Portland and I was reading Kevin Marks (@kevinmarks@indieweb.social) live-tooting of the demos\u00b9, I noticed a few errors, typos or miscaptures, and pointed them out in-person.\n\nKevin was able to quickly edit his toots and update them for anyone reading, thanks to #Mastodon\u2019s post editing feature and its support of #ActivityPub Updates. But this shouldn\u2019t require being in the same room, whether IRL or chat.\n\nWe should be able to suggest edits to each other\u2019s posts, as easily as we can reply and add a comment.\n\n13 years ago I wrote\u00b2:\n\n\u00a0\u201cThe Read Write Web is no longer sufficient. I want the Read Fork Write Merge Web.\u201d\n\nNow I want the Read Write Suggest-Edit Accept-Edit Update Web.\n\nThe \u21aa Reply button is fairly ubiquitous in modern post user interfaces (UIs).\n\nWhy not also a \u270f\ufe0f Suggest Edit button, to craft a fix for a typo, grammar, or other minor error, and send the author for their review, and acceptance or rejection? Perhaps viewable only by the suggester and the author, to avoid \"performative\" suggested edits.\n\nIf the author\u2019s posts provide revision histories, when a suggested edit is accepted, a post\u2019s history could show the contributor of the edit.\n\nInstead of asking Kevin in-person, what if I could have posted special \"Suggested Edit\" responses in reply to his toots, for which he would receive special notifications, and could choose to one-click accept and update (or further edit) his toots?\n\nTo enable such UIs and interactions across servers and implementations, we may need a new type of response\u00b3, perhaps with a special property (or more) to convey the edits being suggested.\n\nThere is documentation of this and similar use-cases, prior art / UIs, as well as some brainstorming on the #IndieWeb wiki:\n* https://indieweb.org/edit\n\nOur interaction after IndieWebCamp has inspired me to take another look at how can we design and prototype solutions to this problem.\n\nFor now, if you host your blog and posts as static files on GitHub (or equivalent), you could add a button like this to your posts alongside Like, Reply, Repost buttons:\n\n\u270f\ufe0f Suggest Edit\n\nand link it to an edit URL for the static file for the post.\n\nI don\u2019t use GitHub static files myself for posts, but here\u2019s an example of such an edit link for one of my projects:\n\nhttps://tantek.com/github/cassis/edit/main/README.md\n\nThis will start the process of creating a \u201cpull request\u201d, GitHub\u2019s jargon\u2074 for a \u201csuggested edit\u201d.\n\nAfter completing GitHub\u2019s ceremony of entering multiple text fields (summary & description), and multiple clicks to create said \u201cpull request\u201d, it\u2019ll be sent to the author to review.

So here we are, a little over a year after my Google Pixel went into a reboot loop just after charging it and promptly went into a drawer. Out came the iPhone SE I had got when I exchanged an Apple TV I\u2019d won at OSCON. I used that for several months before dropping it one too many times on the cold night of celebrating the 21st anniversary of the NeXT/Apple merger. Oops. I blame the Dr. Gil Amelio impressions.\n\n\n\nBriefly I used an iPhone 6 Plus before being given a new iPhone 8 as part of my job. Courageously I struggle every day with its proprietary headphone jack (I carry two sets of earbuds everywhere \u2014 one for my laptop and one for my phone \u2014 and as much as I begrudge the proprietary connector they are very nice and comfortable when you\u2019re on a lot of meeting calls) and long for the day where I can consider retrofitting one. But yes, even dyed in the wool free software folk use smartphones and I\u2019m not patient enough to do the Replicant route these days after many an attempt over the years from both versions of the OpenMoko, to various HTC Dream phones in various states of liberation. Heck, I even bought an iPad recently when I found out the occasional travel tablet I had from Google wasn\u2019t supported anymore but I will admit it doesn\u2019t get used very much at all but it is quite nice to use on a train. I am still very much committed to using free software on my actual laptop as the pile of assorted machines on the floor of my messy apartment will confirm with my day to day machine remaining the Dell XPS I spoke about last year.\n\n\n\nBack to the iPhone. When I first switched I figured I\u2019d hate it and so I didn\u2019t make much effort to integrate things. Instead I just downloaded the various Google apps to the iPhone and carried on my the same account I\u2019d used on my Pixel phone and the half dozen or so Android phones I\u2019d used prior to that. But recently I was at XOXOFEST in Portland and hanging out with various IndieWeb people including Tantek (who has an interesting no-phone setup that involves a Me-Fi device and a couple of iPod Touch devices, with Firefox as their browser) \u2014 it got me thinking about using Firefox as my main browser for the phone.\n\n\n\nState of the Union\n\n\n\nApple still doesn\u2019t let alternate browser engines to run on iOS for some reason, and as a result Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Firefox Focus and even Microsoft\u2019s Edge browser all use WebKit and all use the same version of WebKit as each other. If only we could have had Microsoft adopt WebKit for Edge for Windows, there would be one less engine to worry about although I\u2019ve never encountered Edge in the wild actually being used by anyone as I suspect everyone on Windows gets pushed to install Chrome pretty quickly these days but I\u2019m happy to be wrong on this point. Hopefully everyone installs Firefox instead after reading this.\n\n\n\n(To me, the whole iOS browser saga is a bit like making your own \u201cbrowser\u201d on Windows in Visual Basic by adding the Browser object to a form and slapping a couple of buttons on it, but I suspect Apple wouldn\u2019t approve such an app which dashes my hopes of becoming an instant browser vendor I suppose.)\n\n\n\nDespite the one and only engine rule, all of these browsers do things a little differently:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafari who likes to take over occasionally and frustrate me no end.\nFirefox Focus which is a great browser (often coupled with a VPN) for looking at sites with tons of ads and pop ups and other nasties. Clears itself on exit. Handy for looking up flight prices and searching things outside of your browsers fingerprint of your habits too.\nChrome on iOS neatly integrates with Google\u2019s various sites and offers its own take on private browsing via incognito mode but does not seem to offer anything by way of blocking ads, which is a little frustrating.\nAnd then there\u2019s Firefox, which seems to do a great job of blocking things even if the user interface is a little cluttered in places I am enjoying using it a lot more than I thought. In particular, it has a dedicated reading mode feature (Safari has this too and it was one of the few things I\u2019d occasionally use it for) and seems to have an actual proper download feature. It also lets me copy virtually any image to the clipboard which Chrome does not.\nSo for now I\u2019m going to keep using my iPhone. I have my eye on Purism and their phone project but I suspect it\u2019ll be a while before it\u2019ll be usable to the level where I don\u2019t feel like I have to sysadmin my phone. Until then I\u2019m probably going to keep using the iPhone.\n\n\n\nGil Amelio joke by Stevie DuBois",
