It isn\u2019t actually, under the hood it is still a block-quote.

The quoteback you see above is a html block-quote in the source:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://www.zylstra.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/quotebackblockquote-640x443.png\" alt=\"screenshot of the html code of a block quote styled as quoteback\" /></p>\n<p>While reading you can select text and in Firefox press alt s, and the plugin will pop-up.

I do think that the styling, which mimicks how e.g. Tweets are embedded in websites, may sometimes however actually break the flow of a blogpost, where a block-quote is more like a highlight in the pace and rhythm of a text, while a quoteback is presented as an embed, a different thing separate from the text. In fact I mostly actively dislike the embedded tweets in e.g. \u2018news\u2019 articles. There it feels like a way of not having to write an actual article or story, resulting in \u2018news\u2019 items along the basic template of \u201cX said something, Twitter wasn\u2019t having it\u201d (With the article often stating the content of a tweet in its text, and then embedding the tweet below it, repeat 12 times. Voila, \u2018journalism\u2019 done.) It\u2019s an additional visual amplification, easy on the eyes yes and instantly recognisable as a visual pointer to elsewhere, that probably isn\u2019t always warranted, and may even reduce attention to the post the quote is used in.

We spent a few hours digging into art we had created throughout adolescence and into adulthood, picking apart what remained consistent throughout. We sifted through sketchbooks thinking about what may have influenced changes. \nTo some degree, each of us kept track of inspiration. Katryna went as far as to keep collages and document each of them. I've always admired collages: there's something about collecting, organising, and drawing inspiration from unexpected places.\nWhen I travel,  I often take pictures of scenes I find interesting: details that catch my eye. A memorable example: to shelter from the rain in Vienna, I ducked into a chapel. The dreary light diffused through the windows to create a high-contrast baroque scene. Typically overwhelming colours and ornamentation became subdued. I collected the moment for later.\n\nIt's not just scenes that I collect. Occasionally I'll find a striking design element or detail and save it for later. A bar I was dining at during a layover in the Houston airport was tiled with mahjong pieces.\n\nIn spite of my aesthetic hoarding, I don't really have a method for collecting these images in a sensible way. They sit on my phone, my computer, and my desktop: apocalyptically poor organisation. I'm always on the hunt for inspiration, but don't have a place to enjoy the fruits of this collecting. \nSo I made an indie-pinboard.\naether is a small flask-app with hints of javascript that take a folder on your server and transform it into an infinite scroll of images that are slowly loaded as you cruise by. In my head, these scenes and images were being collected to make some wild reference art-book collage. By making a tiled album, I'm conveying the sense of purpose that I originally intended.\n\nYou can find the code in a repo here.\nThese images are displayed in a haphazard way: the only unifying trait is that each represents something that I liked. In the future I hope to add a more contentful display. I'm thinking that by employing some simple computer vision, I can partition the images by theme and sort them by feel.\n            \n\n        \n        \n            \n            \n        \n        \n\n\n        \n\n\n                                 \n                                            \n                \n                \n                \n                tech\n                \n                article\n                \n                dev\n                \n                indie\n                \n                indieweb\n                \n                art\n                \n                inspiration\n                \n                hack",
