@GlennF Day of the Doctor contains a hidden planet, if that counts ..?
September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month. Boy, am I motivated to make you aware. More soon.
It's common for students to be shut away from class spaces in their learning management systems, too, which is one of our motivations for building Known in education. Everyone should be able to continue to build on their past learning.
While we do offer LMS integrations to institutions, we don't have a Ning integration in Known. That's an interesting idea - and it sounds like it'd be useful for you. Then you could post to your Known site, and then, with one click, also syndicate it to the Ning space of your choice.
Buying size 14 dress shoes is an exercise in existential confusion and recursive paradoxes. Screw it, I'm pitching in my socks.
TIL that there's a shoe style called a "Cambridge Oxford". I object.
Stuff to do, stories to tell, code to push.
So wrapped up in #indiewebcamp UK, preparing @withknown for ..., & @mattervc demo day that I forgot about #DoctorWho! Never happened before.
Animated GIF support just (finally) landed in @withknown.
Enjoying watching #indiewebcamp remotely via WebRTC in my browser. Yo dawg, I heard you like web standards.
Ask not what brewed coffee can do for you; ask what you can do to brew coffee.
@JosephRooks That is a really awesome idea. cc @erinjo @withknown
@josephrooks I'm excited by this - and it reminds me that I need to draw more comics too ..
@timweston Hi Tim! The self-hosted version already does, and we'll definitely be adding that to our hosted service.

@dhh I sincerely believe it needs to be like email or the web. Social needs to be infrastructure.
@KateMfD @dogtrax Sorry for the confusion. I wrote a post about this: http://werd.io/2014/why-cant-you-comment-on-this-post-indieweb
I'm sometimes asked why my posts here on my Known site don't let people comment on them.
The answer is: actually, they do. And I want to read your comments. Feedback is a gift.
Known, like p3k, Taproot and a number of other platforms, uses an open technology called webmention to power its comments. Plugins are also available to help WordPress use webmention.
What webmention gives us is a truly decentralized conversation: you can make a post on your site, mark it as being in reply to this post, and it'll show up as a comment here - but you also get to keep everything you've written on your own site. That way, even if my site goes away, you have a record of every conversation you've had with me. (If you want it.)
You don't need Known to leave a comment: you can use anything that supports webmention.
Through the power of webmention and Bridgy, you can also reply to this post on Twitter and Facebook (see the links at the bottom of the page for this post), and your response will show up here.
This isn't to say that we're not going to add public comments to Known. We are. But we want to make sure we do it right. Sites like Medium have shown interesting new models for user feedback that we're very interested in (and there are decentralized counterparts like marginalia).
We're definitely inviting feedback on this, and would love to read your thoughts. What kind of comments would you like to see?
