RootBadger update: an Android app is now in the works and should be available soon.

In the meantime, the site is open for posting, replying, and creating groups. Early users can still claim topics, shape discussions, decide whether groups are open or moderated, and help build the community from the ground up.

I wrote a post about the clock language I played with at Recurse Center called:

\[ \exists - \backepsilon \]

https://www.fractalkitty.com/there-is-3-such-that/

This is just a prototype that the main purpose was for me to explore how I would define Types and how they interact.

This is a purely visual language. I'd like to think about what this would be with ears only at some point in time. I do think it is a good candidate for a folk computer interface or analog toy.

It's official: Defacto, Mark II is online.

The visual style of HisVirusness.com has been refactored from the ground up, making it more robust, responsive and maintainable. The CSS architecture now mirrors the backend's.

A year's worth of experience made this possible. Not redesigned. Refined.

Static Site Webmentions



Blogger Michael Harley wrote a post about adding webmention support to his blog. I am pro-webmention (see my NLJ post on site-to-site conversations, so I sent my congratulations in webmention form. He explained that he had previously held off on implementing webmentions because his particular static site generator set-up had made it complicated. To be sure, reading about the set-up made me happy that webmention support here on ECS requires little more than installing Matthias Pfefferle's […]

“Exploring Epicure the Food Embedding Model” by Thejesh GN

The Snooze Tabs browser add-on is a key technology I use for category 2, defending focus (and prioritizing) from my previous post (link in footer).I noted in the #indieweb informal cafe chat that "I am going to snooze the tab for a month and re-evaluate then" (about purchasing a potentially focus-enhancing... tantek.com

this is why i’m building basepage local-first and file-based, instead of like a typical web app:

in three prompts, i asked claude to create a new site, import posts from my old blog at simonbc.com, copy the design, and preview it locally.

it worked because the site is just files, plus skills that teach the agent the commands and structure.

#indieweb #ai

after lots of experimentation my local-first website tool for building and publishing small sites with agents is finally starting to come together

with just two commands and no configuration i can now scaffold a site and publish it to github pages.

One of the best times to join a new community is at the beginning.

On RootBadger, you can be among the first to create your own newsgroup, write its charter, choose whether it is open or moderated, and help shape the discussions that happen there.

Build a community around the topics you care about and make the conversation yours.

Nice update on RootBadger: group names now use an rb. prefix, like rb.comp.lang.python and rb.alt.politics.

Good move, honestly. It keeps the old-school newsgroup-style naming, but makes it clear these are RootBadger groups and not trying to claim or replace existing ones.

Small change, but it makes the whole thing cleaner.

Content warning:Note: Remembering the 90s Web

This morning I had a lovely meeting with Andreas Marakis, who's researching the sociological impact of the Web of the 1990s on people who experienced it first-hand.

I'm seeing more and more interest in this period - even, surprisingly, among people too young to be nostalgic about it - as the countercultural "web renaissance" tiptoes out of the shadows and encourages newcomers to take their first steps in building their own Web identity with HTML, CSS, and (maybe) JavaScript.

Anyway: chatting to Andreas was great and it reminded me of quite how grateful I am to have gotten to experience a lot of these seminal technologies when they were at their newest and most-experimental.
