I've added a new page to my personal website, where I recommend interesting things I've read, played, watched, and listened to. I talk about that a bit in this post, and also show you how you can use YAML to make your life easier when working with large amounts of data!

A new edition of Web Wanderings is out, where I share a handpicked selection of websites discovered through Cloudhiker. It’s a little journey across the internet’s hidden corners. 🤩

This edition is a special one for the #smallweb / #indieweb.

New year, new look:

- I updated the fonts I use on my personal website to nudge the vibe my in a direction that is closer to my authentic self

- I added a couple topic pages: one for my mountaineering adventures, and one for video games that I make and play

- I also created a much-simplified top level index page that more closely matches my authentic self rather than my business persona

I love this person and her golden enthusiasm.

I don’t know her, and I’ve never built my own website, but after her cheerful tale of trials and tribulations, I’m thinking I really want to.

My own little digital garden.

My own plot on the web.

I have some thoughts.

The marketing copy that states that anyone can be a good programmer and you can do work that took teams weeks in under an hour is to blame.

The good intentions of people never died, they have been misled because venture capitalists need to justify pouring money into vanity projects.

@pheonix I am a big fan of #indieweb solutions, which follow that principle. Keep it simple stupid is one of my main principles (if I had any) when it comes to coding.

I found a nice way to send webmentions from the terminal!

I have the following saved as `send-wm.sh`:

```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

my_url="$1"
target_url="$2"

curl -i -d "source=$my_url&target=$target_url" $(curl -i -s "$target_url" | grep 'rel="webmention"' | sed 's/rel="webmention"//' | grep -o -E 'https?://[^ ">]+' | sort | uniq)
```

I can then run `send-wm.sh <my_url> <target_url>` — works great!

I got this from the IndieWeb wiki (https://indieweb.org/webmention-implementation-guide#One-liner_webmentions), although note that it has to look for 'rel="webmention"' rather than 'rel="http://webmention.org/"' as the wiki says.

I added this to my webmentions discussion: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/wiki/tutorials/webmention-tutorial/#sending-webmentions-(command-line)

San Diego Homebrew Website Club is back on after a (checks notes) 5 year hiatus. Who can even remember why we paused? Oh right: *waves around at world on fire*.

Hope to see you in February.

Beyond aggregated and summarized stats, in 2025 I met a few amazing people (you know who you are), and started a few projects. Most of these projects started with an idea, or recognizing a problem, that inspired invention.

Sometimes the ideas came from observations, shared, questioned, distilled into insights, and sometimes new creations.

During one such conversation over coffee last year, James (https://jamesg.blog/) and I noticed that our Spotify “daylist” list names were often quite entertaining, despite their brevity.

We mused whether it was worth keeping track of the particularly fun or interesting names, even knowing they were automatically generated.

In September 2025, James created a page on his site, a simple HTML list of a few of his fun daylists names, and shared it:
* https://jamesg.blog/daylists

With a single real world #indieweb example, it was enough to stub a wiki page:
* https://indieweb.org/daylists

A little over two months later, during the weekend of 2025 IndieWeb Black Friday Create Day: Build Don’t Buy, I followed James’s example and built my own daylists page with a similar list of names of daylists, adding the datetimes when I had taken screenshots of my daylists.

* https://tantek.com/daylists

Realizing it was a page of items listed in reverse chronological order with datetime stamps, it made sense to mark it up as an h-feed so a social reader could theoretically subscribe to it. The list items had the minimum viable information for h-entry markup: content and a datetime. Minimal information meant only minimal markup was necessary: one nested HTML time element, and a couple of class names.

The list item of just the daylist name I started with:

<!-- a daylist item -->
<li>
  cyberpunk synthwave wednesday early morning
</li>
<!-- -->

The name’s coarse textual day and time of day was a handy bit of text to markup with the time element with a numerical date-time for parsers. That plus two h-entry class names:

<!-- minimal h-entry markup for a daylist item -->
<li class="h-entry">
  cyberpunk synthwave
  <time class="dt-published" datetime="2025-10-15 07:59">wednesday early morning</time>
</li>
<!-- -->

As linked on my daylists page, that plus a little h-feed wrapper is enough to make a web feed that a social reader like Monocle can parse and display:
* https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2Fdaylists

Minimal incremental markup added to an existing human readable HTML page.

No separate feed file needed. No XML, XSLT, or JavaScript either.

The HTML is the feed.

A feed that social readers, like Monocle, or Artemis (that James wrote) can directly follow.

Full circle.

And the year before that, James blogged about how publishing an h-feed is also a more efficient, and easier to maintain, method of supporting other formats:
