Weeknotes are up! Had a relatively quiet week this time around which I was glad for, given how much reading it let me do :D
I joined the IndieWeb; here's what I learned.
What it is, its principles, which protocols I implemented (h-entry, Webmention, WebSub...), which I skipped and why, and what actually made a difference.

Finde es ja schick, wenn der Betreiber einer (sogar ziemlich guten) Web-Plattform einen langen Artikel schreibt, mit dem Tenor: "Eigentlich braucht ihr das alles gar nicht!"
Hardcore Indieweb: Run your own website 100% independently for only $0.01/day
(Und extra props dafür, IndieWeb zu erwähnen, ohne sofort mit Nerdkram wie IndieAuth oder Mikroformaten anzufangen!)
Published this week's notes. I followed @readbeanicecream 's suggestion and maintained a daily journal. That made the process of writing this far more simpler. I will try to stick to it.

Does anyone in the #indieweb or #a11y scene have any suggestions for best way to add full "image transcript" level alt text to a website/blog articles? 👀
It occurred to me that it's weird screenshots I post on social media are infinitely more screen-reader accessible than the ones actually embedded in my writings, and I'd really like to fix that.
The alt attribute of images is meant to be short, so my current idea is a full transcript locked behind a <details> element that's listed as the `aria-describedby` on the image, but I am unsure how screen readers (or any form of machine interpretation) would handle that.
Thank you! 😊
