šŸ”– New bookmark: How to Make a Damn Website

šŸ”— https://lmnt.me/blog/how-to-make-a-damn-website.html

> A lot of people want to make a website but donā€™t know where to start or they get stuck. Thatā€™s in part because our perception of what websites should be has changed so dramatically over the last 20 years.

Creating simple websites does not have to be complicatedā€¦

**New Blog Post:** Stray Kids concert

I went to my first actual Kpop concert this past Saturday. The person I went with is a huge fan of Stray Kids and she didnā€™t want to go alone, so she asked me to go with her. Now, I DO like Stray Kids! I just havenā€™t been listening to them much recently. šŸ™ˆ **I also need to preface this by saying I no idea it wasnā€™t going to be a normal live.**

@eb One of the things I like most about my #indieweb site is everything I've put into its design *via* the CSS. To remove it seems like a cool enough flex in terms of playtesting your HTML-fu but less so (IMO) in sharing your unique, authentic self which is what makes indieweb so fun. That said, I would like to participate in the future šŸ˜….

For socializing and search: Use the #indieweb and #indiewebchat tags here on Fedi. I've documented indie search engines as well.

If you haven't already, you should participate in #css_naked_day! I have my website configured to hide it's style when it hits April 9th in your region. This is just fun, and it's good to root out semantic HTML issues in your website. #indieweb #a11y

Pushing further into #indieweb *stuff*, I've just published v1 of my "Activityā€ feed, a unified chronological timeline featuring all of my site notes, posts and logs.

https://shellsharks.com/activity

In the future, I'd like to bring in some other content from around the web as well (other Mastodon posts, Lemmy discussions, etcā€¦)

This feed was inspired by the following sitesā€¦
- https://www.mollywhite.net/feed
- https://kottke.org
- https://aaronparecki.com.

Thanks! (cc: @molly0xfff @jkottke @aaronpk)

@Huubje not a straightforward and simple one but check out the #IndieWeb wiki on scribbles to see examples of different approaches https://indieweb.org/scrobble

Anybody know if there is a federated alternative to last.fm or listenbrainz? If not, sure seems like it could be a cool idea if you ask me.

Had an immensely satisfying night tinkering with my website without publishing anything publicly, just some private experiments to test out a few ideas. Sometimes the #indieweb means being totally indie from everyone and satisfying an audience of exactly one, blowing on the little embers of your own intrinsic motivation.

While building my new site in #11ty, which is a new tool for me, I wonder if itā€™s time for me to learn #Git and #versioncontrol as well.

I notice that I over and over again make a backup copy of a Nunjucks partial or my eleventy.config.js before trying something (that more often than not breaks some things). And sometimes I lose track on where Iā€™m in my dev process.

Would I benefit from version control? Any relevant tutorials to share?

I read that the idea of https://indieweb.org is to post on your personal site first then broadcast to everywhere elseā€¦ but I want the reverse: post in communities where it makes sense (hobbies/circles) then aggregate everything on my site.

So annoying that Gravatar is treated like a public service by Fastmail etc, when it is in fact owned by a for-profit corporation that is stealing small artists' work for AI monetization and persecuting trans people and sex workers.

Similarly, indieweb.org continues to recommend Wordpress despite the AI-stealing (if you haven't yet heard about this: https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/)
