give the brain a lil break today by hacking on the microblog. my books now show up in the activity feed and the reading list RSS feed.

now i'm going to go read my goofy dungeon crawler book

#indieweb

I’m stuck between two names for my blog/zine. Brewmaster (like in homebrew but also the monk variant) or some variation of Barrow-wight. I like intelligent undead and Fellowship of the Ring is amazing plus it is a subtle white box/White hack reference with “wight”.

Announcement: I have a new logo, website, and email address!

This means you can follow my new Mastodon account at https://indieweb.social/@travisj or wait until I set up the alias in a few days. I know I moved to indieweb.social under the 'scope filter' name only recently so I hope the inconvenience is temporary and relatively painless for those who follow me.

Announcement: I have a new logo, website, and email address!

Summary of improvements:
- light and dark mode
- visible skip link
- monochrome isometric icons
- breadcrumb navigation
- long alt text now visible to all users
- indieweb microformats

I see this change as an overall upgrade in functionality, accessibility, and visuals. You can read more on my New Site Design post: futurehorizondesign.net.au/updates.html...

@balint Imagine if a major web search engine service started including page download size including all subresources (from an empty-cache starting point) as an inverse ranking signal.

As in: all else equal, larger pages rank lower.

Forget time to first byte, or time to first render. Let's have time to last byte and time to completed render instead!

Made a custom 404 page for my personal site today to get my mind off…things

@nsmsn recently launched a personal site he rebuilt with #WebOrigami: https://www.nicksimson.com/posts/2025-ye-olde-blogging-questions-challenge

By design Origami’s audience includes creative people that don’t think of themselves as engineers, or primarily as engineers. It’s gratifying that Nick “was able to get this to work the way [his] brain works” and that he finds it fun to use. #indieweb

There! My web site and little corner of the World Wild Web now has a dark mode, too, for those who prefer that. 🌚

It keys off of the visitor's browser preference (using a CSS prefers-color-scheme media query) so should work readily without requiring any special action from anyone.

Also a few other usability and appearance tweaks including easier-to-hit targets on mobile and some font adjustments, and two brand new pages.

I spent last night writing about the things on my site that I am the most proud of https://shellsharks.com/devlog/build-then-smile

The #IndieWeb allows us to express ourselves in many ways, through our writing, through our site aesthetics, etc... over the last 5 years+ I've built a place on the web that I really enjoy hanging out at. So for everyone out there similarly building a digital "home" on the web, remember to look back and smile at what you've accomplished!

Part I of a write up of a talk I gave on ‘Building an IndieWeb house: the why and hows of Coffee Now’. Covers what is the IndieWeb, what is a website and writing in markdown.

For years (we are talking well over a decade here) I've tried to get a smooth workflow for discovery, reading, posting, sharing thoughts online.

And thanks to #RSS, my #remarkable2, Apple Shortcuts, @drafts, #Obsidian, @ia, @eleventy, and @n8n_io I'm finally getting there! Still some small annoyances to fix, but I'm getting there!

I'm going to create a section on my website for links to really cool people on the interwebz who have independent websites (IndieWeb, etc). Sort of like a blogroll but for indie websites.
