Hi there!
I new Update just dropped. It's Questlog 1.4.0 an I call it "The Discovery Update".
Questlog always was (and still is) about tracking the games you're currently playing and still want to play. The new Update helps you discovering new games or remembering games you played when you were much younger.
A new Recommendation Engine is helping you to see what you probably should play based on what you're already playing.
There was also a big overhaul in the navigation structure, home page and listings.
And the thing that started everything was the new shiny header for Guests that was part of the Onboarding I was focusing initially. But I got sidetracked by shiny things on the side of the road (As a Gamer? That's surprising) and focused on discovery instead. It helps for the onboarding too I guess.
Let me know what you think!
As always the blog post explains everything in more detail. And if this is too much, there's a neat Changelog at the end of the post.

"One of the biggest draws of the #IndieWeb for me is the decentralization of the Internet. The entire point is to stop the erosion of the Internet from being a handful of bad-faith, extractive corporate social media platforms.
But at the end of the day, we're still all using the same Internet, aren't we? The same handful of browsers, the same frameworks and engines. We can take this a step further, and we can interface with the Internet in ways that don't involve going to websites that start with https://"

Distraction Free as a Distraction
After stumbling upon a video about "writerdecks," I went down the distraction free writing rabbit hole. After way too many videos and researching and testing, I think I might have an idea that will work for me.

I have been working on my website.
Recent work on sparklines and categories on my site had me want to see a data analysis of it across its 25 years. This is a first take and I need to hone some pieces, but it is also a part of a larger analysis of things I've put out and my local note making.

What I've built on this blog, and why
Fediverse federation, email subscriptions, Mastodon comments. No database, no cookies, no trackers. What I built on this blog, and what I left out on purpose.

@dan pointed out that you can still access Neocities by editing the "hosts" file on your computer.
Locate the file in c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc.Put Neocities' IP and domain in the hosts file like so:
198.51.233.1 neocities.org
Unfortunately, to access Neocities-hosted websites you need to put each subdomain there too. But if you just need to backup your own site, this should do it.
Warning: remove this line when Neocities resolves this issue.

Neocities is currently down, and this is what they posted on their Bluesky:
"We're working on the DNS outage. It's not technical - someone is trying to legally attack us and Namecheap took down the domain. More details later."
