Hey #indieweb folks.

I recently re-joined the industry and figured it would be good to join here.

My focus is primarily on web platform stuff. Creatively I opt for static sites that are fast, mobile-first and built upon resilient foundations.

I'm preparing to overhaul my personal website over Christmas, but for now you can see my old games portfolio here: https://spdp.dev.

Thanks for having me 🙂

#introduction

I’m pretty confused debugging Threads fediverse interoperability. Sending new posts to Threads returns 404 not found. Even just trying to grab an actor with curl and Accept: application/activity+json fails, for any user.

Congratulations to the Threads team on launching fediverse follows! Big step for the open social web.

Among other things, this means that you can now bridge your Threads account into Bluesky by following @bsky.brid.gy, and your Bluesky account into Threads by following @ap.brid.gy. Exciting!

Further, I applied that CSS to @tantek.com 's 2000 markup (table tags removed, ordered list added plus some HTML5 markup) https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/RNbryMr #IndieWeb #FrontEnd - making web pages is fun y'all!

Today we looked some interesting Christmas lights in CodePen, and @Meyerweb chimed in on making dot leading for a table of contents type effect. All the solutions are vaguely hacky, but we came up with not a terrible solution.

Looking for advice on image alt-text/description on personal website :boosts_ok:

For now, I use both alt and title fields of my <img> and often they have the same value.
I read here on Fedi and on MDN that it's a bad practice as screen readers will read both.

I'd like:

  • An alt-text/image description, for visual-impaired people
  • An alt-text for when the image cannot load (may be the same as above, but ideally different)
  • Not necessarily a caption as it would break the visual flow in most cases
  • A different message from alt-text that appear when you hover the image (the tooltip)
  • No JS

The idea is that I want the tooltip to often have the same value as an alt-text, but sometimes different (mostly for jokes)

I added on one of my page a bit of CSS (without JS) to make an info icon appear on bottom right corner of an image on hover, and when the icon is hovered, it displays a custom tooltip.

Is that the only solution? Should I just drop the title value of <img> and use my custom one instead? Are there better solutions matching the list above?

Thanks! Boosts welcome and appreciated~ :dragn_heart:

Threads takes an important baby step toward true fediverse integration

What kind of company does Weird aspire to be?

https://blog.muni.town/weird-inc/

Must we consider ourselves a ‘possible future adversary’ of the open product and ecosystem we’re caringly shaping and seeding as founders?

Abiding by non-extractive practices means doing business on hard mode, but it’s a fun puzzle.

We believe the most realistic and sustainable way of realizing that outcome is with old-fashioned commerce:

1. Make product
2. Sell product
3. Return to step 1
