New blog post up. About how you can have a little randomized music discovery while keeping everything local.

This expands and elaborates somewhat on my Fedi post from a few days ago at https://social.mkj.earth/web/@mkj/115453184719526783

Progress isn’t always forward. Sometimes it’s sideways. And slow.

As I have some spare time this weekend, I'm hoping to spend some time following @gobino (https://social.lol/@gobino) tutorial to get webmentions up and running on my Bear Blog. If the end result looks anywhere near as good, I'll be happy.

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 #CPHP Vol. 50: "crusom.dev" https://crusom.dev/

PS: @crusom is on the fediverse!

Added the ability “sign out" of your site, bringing you to the site selector. It works SO well.

I’m so glad I did the refactoring, it feels so much more stable now. AND it’s enabled me to add all these new features effortlessly. The sky’s the limit, this is the power of mindfully written code!

I think we have everything we need to implement the site dashboard view. Then, after sorting the publishing stuff and some design polish, it’ll be ready for an alpha release. #11tyCMS #11ty #indieweb

This is a load of fluff and I don't agree with very much of it, but is an interesting angle to take on the current state of gamification of the web.

Here's a little end-of-the-month post with some reflections on things I watched, read, listened to and enjoyed.

Hope everyone has a great Halloween/Samhain!

I wrote a thing after listening to this week’s hard fork https://kfirbreger.com/blog/openai-is-doing-the-social-way/

#indieweb #smallweb

I just discovered https://websitecarbon.com/faq/ that measures a site's carbon footprint. Unfortunately their API endpoint wasn't working for me, think they ended it recently https://api.websitecarbon.com/.

So I extracted the results from the WebUI, customized the simple web badge into a more informative one with a dropdown.

Quite happy with how it looks. 🤓 Plus, all the badges are now under a <detail> tag to keep it clean.

What do you think? https://burgeonlab.com

Update: Some Chromium-based browsers like Brave and Opera do the thing. But, Chrome still doesn't want to behave.

Hi, I’m Jessie and I’m addicted to making #11ty websites. It started off with just one… couldn’t hurt, right? But then one turned into two, and then two into three… I already have plans for a fourth and a fifth. I just can’t stop 😭 #11ty #indieweb #blogging

Just finished @timbl 's great book #ThisIsForEveryone and the chapter on 'Design Issues' really stuck with me. The #web has always been a network full of creativity, enjoyment and collaboration (just think of the #blogosphere in the 2000s), and it's on us to keep this spirit alive. Now I am curious to read some of the more detailed considerations at https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/

Anyone here keep a list that's not on Goodreads or Storygraph or any other digital platform?
