New on #WellMadeWeb: A Single Div.

What is the most that can be achieved inside a single div, leaving the rest to CSS? Quite a lot, as @lynnandtonic has proven to us with her website "A Single Div."

Designing a calm web reader

It's the second day of me publishing my digital garden and I'm already worrying about link rot.

For a notes system / personal knowledge base, flexibility is integral: I'm constantly reorganizing and renaming my notes as I learn more and as clusters of notes gain importance.

But when those notes are published online, I'm worried about ending up with tons of link rot (or a massive maintenance headache with redirects).

Has anyone figured out a good solution for this?

@scottjenson If we make a strong return to the ideals of the Semantic Web (and some folks like #indieweb are making strides in this area), then aggregators could arise that would provide entry points into that data through consolidated APIs.

Mozart’s Coffee is already reserving spots for their Christmas lights, so next week’s IndieWeb Meetup will be at Radio Coffee & Beer instead. Wednesday, 7pm. 🎄

Today I finally updated my website and got to properly use my updated neovim config

Olen reilun vuoden tuntenut syyllisyyttä siitä, että kotisivujen listanäkymät ja hakutulokset käyttivät täysikokoisia kuvia, vaikka ne esitettiin pieninä. Eivät käytä enää.

Korjailin toteutusta niin, että nyt niille generoidaan automaattisesti sopivan kokoiset pikkukuvat. Siinä sivussa kirjoitin koko hakutoteutuksen uusiksi niin sain siihenkin lisää vauhtia. Käytän edelleen Pagefindia, mutta en hyödynnä kirjaston mukana tulevaa käyttöliittymää, vaan tein sen itse ja hanskaan varsinaisen haun JavaScript-koodissa.

Muutoksen myötä sain myös HTML:n puolelle laitettua kuvien koot width- ja height-attribuuteilla, niin käyttöliittymä ei pompi kun kuvia ladataan.

Pitäisi kyllä korjailla muutama muutakin juttu. Hugo oli minulle ihan uusi juttu silloin kun tein nykyiset sivut ja tajuan nyt, etten ole ymmärtänyt hyödyntää kaikkia Hugon ominaisuuksia järkevimmällä mahdollisella tavalla.

Finally an #introduction post for myself after what feels like eons (i forgor 💀)

Hi, I'm Apicat, also known as Pikatto/Pika and Echo elsewhere. I'm working on a double degree in #MolecularMedicine, focusing medical microbiology (send help :blobcatmelttears:). In my spare time, I explore #fiction, #indieweb, and #FOSS.

I’ve collected 60+ #WarriorCats books and love the artist community around it! I also used to do a ton of text-based WC #roleplay :blobcatmeltlove:

Nice to meet y’all ✨ Let’s spread some light!

James asked me today during the #IndieWeb Create Day why I rendered the Gettysburg Address as html buttons and I wish I could remember. https://lab.artlung.com/gettysburg/ #html #goofball

After reading this, I never want to hear anything about how RSS is out of date technology ever again. If it wasn’t for RSS, I would not have found amazing independent publishers and websites.

I proably already shared this but I decided to have these in a single blog post about an old nature hike trip

Update: I added a search function to my blog using "pagefind"! https://reillyspitzfaden.com/blog/

For the IndieWeb Black Friday Create Day I added clickable tags to all my blog posts! Each tag links to a page with all the posts that use that tag. Also made it so I can specify the template for a whole folder of posts so I can change templates without needing to edit every post.

Austin’s IndieWeb Meetup returns next week: Wednesday, Dec 4th, 7pm at Mozart’s Coffee. Everyone’s welcome to stop by for a coffee and chat about the open web. What are you working on, and what can we do to move the social web forward?

Tim Chambers blogs some more thoughts on where the social web platforms are right now:

Threads and Bluesky’s massive success of late and Mastodon’s modest success does not make Mastodon and other fediverse/activitypub offerings losers. In this case it isn’t zero-sum. Fully open, patent free, non-commercial offerings like Mastodon, etc, have different needs and lifecycles and futures not tied to VC’s or shareholders.

Just discovered the forgotten websites subreddit. Pretty entertaining

This parody chemical company website is the kind of stuff you get. Pretty weird/droll

Bringing the indieweb!



Making my website #indieweb ready. I'm actively developing a publishing system.. yes, hand-rolled 😬

I figured out conditionally adding @octothorpes.bsky.social tags to my 11ty blog posts! I can add an "octothorpes" field followed by a list of tags, and those will appear in the correct HTML, or if I leave out that field, no tags.
