“Weeknotes: Week #21 (2026)” by Harsh Shandilya

@msfjarvis: «Honestly not even sure how I feel about this week»

A question for everyone selling things online:

What is the one product photo in your store that you have re-shot the most times?

There is always THAT ONE product. The hero piece. Re-photographed 4 times in 18 months and still not converting.

Reply with what it is and how many attempts. No judgment.

Should I deploy my website rewrite now (after the poll is over) or refactor it first?

It currently clones some (relatively large) collections for some requests. Refactoring would mean moving them into a temporary SQLite database and only selecting what I need from there. I might also optimize the caching headers…

Bot protection & IndieAuth integration would be the next things on my todo list after that. (But they would life in their own services.)

Now!
Refactor first

Another life update, in which I've received a letter all the way from Scotland, did some website tinkering, and missed out on spotting a goldfinch by sleeping in:

My KeePass and Syncthing setup

How I sync passwords across my laptop, desktop, and phone using KeePassXC and Syncthing, plus a couple bash scripts I wrote to handle masked emails (like 1Password's feature) and merge sync conflicts.

Dear WebMention users, please ask more open-ended questions

I love using WebMention, but I find so few posts that I feel I can reply to. I am desperately hungry for WebMention content that asks open-ended questions I can reply to.

I follow the Open Mentions WebMention topic closely (I follow them all because I made it), so ping something there or WebMention this post if your site is rich with fun stuff I can respond to.
