Joe brought CSS Battle to my attention today. I enjoy CSS but most of my daily work with it is routine stuff like forms, nothing too fancy or creative. I decided to try it out and in true indieweb fashion, I wanted to post the results on my site.

The 2023-11-14 Daily Target seemed like a good chance to brush up on CSS Grid. I got my solution down to 342 characters when minified. I must say it hurt a little to remove the quotation marks on HTML attributes. :]

It looks like the daily target switches over at midnight UTC, so I was too late to submit this today. Still a fun exercise and looking forward to more.

Shout out to @marksuth for picking up the torch on IndiePass and continuing to improve it! The fact that I can post to my own bespoke blog from my phone as easily as I can post to Mastodon is a testament to the power of the Indieweb and protocols over platforms.

@laurenshof Yeah I emailed @matthiasott about a similar problem. In true #indieweb philosophy, there seems to be no POSSE solution for people who want something that "just works". Maybe @snarfed.org 's Bridgy is the closest thing, but it's not really a CMS.

Finished out the rest of micropub support in the new CMS, including support for most of the spec, including a media endpoint.

I’ve started on IndieAuth, which is more complicated than I remember. Thankfully, I have implemented it once before, so I have some stale but working code to reference.
This is a test (4th Note) with the “regular” Webmention + IndieWeb plugins…

I recently added Webfinger to my domain so that I can be found in Mastodon by searching for my public email address.

Here's how I did it for my #Hugo website https://garrido.io/notes/adding-webfinger/

Next up will be IndieAuth. Then I’ll need to start working on templating for the HTML so it’s more than just an API for querying and filtering MF2 JSON.
So far I have built a data model supporting all of the kinds of content that my current site offers, with micropub support, including a media endpoint. Lots still to do. Very much a long-term background project.

Ahhhhh look what just arrived in the mail! Finally! 😍 No misprints, nothing upside down, everything seems in tact. 💀 So far it's looking like I got a good batch! 😅

Side note: The Book Ring is now accepting members! If you have a book blog or website with book-related content, come join! It's free to join and a great way to discover other book lovers. https://thebookring.neocities.org/

@midgephoto it totally is, which is why I still blog mostly out of my website and have recently started another blog about #CDramas.i mostly consolidate my thoughts from social media there. (PESOS method #Indieweb)

Discover, read, and maybe help me build a sense of community that is healthy, positive, and centers around your own individua…

@janboddez No need to be self deprecating. You’re doing much appreciated, good work. #thankyou #gratitude #WebDev #tech #Wordpress #foss #indiedev #indieweb

@artlung thanks again for the invite to the homebrew meetup last week. I’m hooked and I’ll be back!

Your post-event writeup talked about drafts and that reminded me that my question about it towards the end didn’t exactly come across. My super newb WP/blogging thing that I’m wondering is more like “semi-private but shareable drafts”. Have you ever published something with a link that you can send around for feedback but doesn’t go out to your RSS or site’s main public pages?

It’s a use case I run into all the time and the usual answer is to use gdoc’s “share to anyone with the link” feature until it’s ready for wider distribution, which works fine and it’s not a huge pain, I’m just curious. I’ve got some much thornier questions about how to integrate evergreen wiki-like info pages vs ephemeral/chronological blog-like writing, but I figure I’ll start light ;)

#IndieWeb #writing #blogging

I've been working on building my own #Hugo static website for over a year. (Granted, it's the year I became a parent, and I've had a lot going on.) I want the satisfaction of a site I built by hand and understand intimately, but I'm also feeling the squeeze: I would like to have a website now, thank you—and I'm starting to reach the part of the project where I need to actually learn if I want to develop productively, instead of halfassedly copy-pasting things together and crossing my fingers.

Maybe this is my sign to turn to a simple off-the-shelf theme so I can get started and let the pressure off.

I remain convinced that the #indieWeb would have had a much better life if #explicitMulticast #Xcast had reached general adoption

For the Fediverse, imagine how much less expensive would it have been to host a successful now with thousands of connections is at least on the way out data could have been sent to all federate servers at once, leaving the routing to handle the (de)duplication.
