The Pages theme is a complete website toolkit for indie creators, based around web standards static HTML with a visual editor. No special backend hosting required, and no build scripts needed either.

I've been writing #weeknotes for a little while now, so I thought I'd write something a bit longer that reviews my experience with the process.

All part of my ongoing #indieweb journey.
I get why the IndieWeb isn’t for everyone. It’s kinda like how Linux is the obvious choice if you like tinkering with stuff, but if you want an OS that just works you use Windows or MacOS. I have a temper sometimes but doing your own thing is a lot of fun, even when stuff breaks
I don't quite like the idea of using LLMs for writing, or at least I consider their unfiltered output unsuitable for human consumption.
But what about writing drafts? Or reading a post draft and drafting a short one-line summary for it to be pasted into p-summary
. Of course, it would come through a human first, to ensure the summary makes sense.
I feel like this could be a good feature for a post editor. I imagine the UX being something like a ✨ button next to the summary text field that pastes the e-content
field into an LLM and asks it to summarize the post. The output is then inserted into the summary field for the author to edit as needed.
If you liked Why I left Patreon. my feed URL is https://robertkingett.com/feed/ #RSS #IndieWeb #SmallWeb
I'm on a roll today (no pun intended) and finally added a #blogroll to my site.
It's directly parsed from my #rss reader's OPML file, I just have to drag and drop it into my code base and all subscriptions get listed on the page.
Send me your blog, if it's missing!
Managed to improve a few more things, post content images are now visible for example 🙌
Forgot to include the link to the feed in my last toot, so here it is if you want to subscribe: https://dominikhofer.me/rss.xml
smol website update:
- added Herzenschein and Grell commissions to the art gallery
- updated previews for sites that have grown with time and now look even prettier & fixed links for sites that moved elsewhere
- added links to 12 websites that are fun, artsy, creative and personal
I spent the afternoon polishing my #rss feed a bit and learned a ton about them in the process (h/t to https://kevincox.ca/2022/05/06/rss-feed-best-practices/).
Some improvements include:
- A stylesheet, so it looks cleaner in the browser
- A little footer note at the end of each post, prompting the reader to send me their thoughts via email (h/t to Chris https://thoughts.uncountable.uk/ for the idea)
- Posts are now sorted by their publishing date (newest to oldest)

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 20: ~troido https://tilde.town/~troido/

Nice to get a brief mention in @jnv's excellent write-up on the web we've (never) lost.
"But after spending years in apps and on social media which actively discourage us from posting and clicking on links, one can get easily lost. I mean, it feels like the web became much smaller.
But the websites are still there – if you know where to look for them."
