You Got Something to Say and I Want to Share It
The Community page is now the Community Bulletin Board. You write it; I pin it. Go check it out.

I have updated my site by moving blog search and new category list pages (now with sparklines) out of the Lab and into production - https://www.vanderwal.net/random/entrysel.php?blog=2145
I have been wanting both for a long time (sparklines on category list pages for more than 15 years).
Tailwind is great.
Tailwind sucks.
After 3 years of shipping it in production, I'm convinced both sides are equally right, and mostly talking past each other.
It's neither good nor bad, it's a trade:
Noisy markup in exchange for speed and consistency.
I wrote down the full breakdown: pros, cons, and how to tell when to reach for it (and when to run).

A Love Letter To Creative Spaces https://britthub.co.uk/a-love-letter-to-creative-spaces/
This post was inspired by Juhis’ IndieWeb Carnival theme for May, A love letter. This is a love letter to creative spaces, community centres, libraries and anywhere that is welcoming to the big table full of slightly chaotic artists who might make a mess of their carpet from time to time. When I was a […]

Looking for 3–5 people to help dogfood Verja, a community platform I'm building for small discussion spaces.
This isn't a public launch. I need real people to use it for a week or two and tell me where the friction is.
Minimum asks:
• Register and verify email
• Reply to the welcome thread
• Start one thread
• Tell me what was confusing, awkward, or broken
I'm interested in friction, not praise. Honest feedback is the goal.
I've been building something.
It's called Urban Wilderness. Real documentation for people trying to opt out of systems that weren't built for them. Self-hosted infrastructure, skill bartering, solar in a rented apartment.
There are also logs. And a story unfolding in public.
First post is up. Free, no account required.

Happy to participate! This should be a reply to your initial post.
Here's how my implementation works for receiving webmentions, BTW:
Verifying the link: I parse HTML with JustHTML looking for the incoming link. If the source is JSON I traverse it recursively. If it's plain text I grep for the link.
Extracting content: I start with a default h-entry (source URL, last-modified, backlink as content), and populate it from microformats.
Rendering: I use mf2dom to render HTML from microformats. There's no sanitization, but I have a list of domains I trust, otherwise incoming mentions are private (visible only to me). I could sanitize the HTML or trim it, but I haven't had the need yet.
