I just released Kodiak, a new theme for Bear Blog 🐻
It's Bear's default theme, fully grown: roomier and full of little Markdown tricks and other goodies.

Linkguard never touches your main branch. By default it only reports dead links, and if you turn on open-pr it opens a pull request that swaps them for Wayback copies, so you can read the report before anything changes. A tool quietly rewriting old posts on its own seemed like a bad idea.

Minimalism is a popular ethic, and one that I resonate with. However, it has brought with it a less spoken about secondary effect that I I call the 'Swiss Army Strife'.
We trade away our large collection of single purpose machines and replace them with one or two 'everything' devices, instead. But when your device can do everything, it becomes much harder to only use it for the right things.

Interesting approach of #Sveltia #CMS to deploy a SPA which connects to GitHub. https://sveltiacms.app/en/
It's the (selfproclaimed) successor of Decap CMS. Keystatic offers a similiar approach.
Only downside I see for this approach is that media needs to be stored in git (or external service like S3).
Therefore my current approach of fetching post from WordPress API, let WordPress act as "CDN" and serve optimized images from there seems to be a bit easier for my static #Astro site. 🤷♂️

I started a small web hosting company called Dredge Host 🪣
It's the hosting I wish existed: real cPanel, free HTTPS, email on your own domain, every limit published, and the same price at renewal. When you email support, you reach me.
Plans start at $5/month. If you have a portfolio, blog, or small site that needs a home, I'd love to hear from you.
Boosts appreciated!

Patchwork tracks Markdown page revisions, stores version history, and publishes selected changes as Atom and JSON feeds with readable diffs. Built in Go with SQLite, it gives digital gardens, wikis, and living docs a transparent way to announce meaningful updates.

Something I keep forgetting to mention: theraven.my answers curl.
curl theraven.my
You get the square drawn in braille, the newest posts and the command to open each one. Every house has its own drawing too, so curl theraven.my/pablo shows mine.
Posts wrap at 72 columns, and links wait at the bottom with numbers, like in Lynx. Add ?plain if your terminal doesn't like colors.
Moving in still takes one email.

A small map of the things I keep building: https://sussurra.me/
sussurra is Portuguese for "it whispers". It's one HTML file I edit by hand, with no tracking and no search box. You click around and get a little lost.
64 projects so far: a BBS you reach over SSH, a MUD that only answers on telnet, a photolog that wrecks every photo on upload, a radio of Myspace songs nobody remembers, chess with emoji pieces.
If you keep a page like this, send me the link.

indiecheck just got an update.
Point it at a page and it lists the microformats, rel=me links, IndieWeb endpoints and meta tags it finds, then tells you what to fix, with the HTML to fix it.
New: robots.txt and sitemap checks, https and canonical-host checks, fixes written for WordPress, Hugo and Eleventy, a Markdown report, and fail=errors for CI.

Is it just me, or does it feel sometimes like there's something more "formal" about the medium of text (e.g., blogs) over alternative mediums like video or audio (vlogs, podcasts, etc)?
I feel like I have a lot of ideas and concepts that I probably wouldn't feel so bad about whipping up and putting out in a single afternoon as a vlog or something (if that was my medium), but which I don't feel so comfortable pushing out as a blog, because it's not polished enough.
Anyone else have similar experiences? Do you think the feeling is justified or just a silly bias that we have?

I hoard tiled backgrounds from the old web, so I put the pile online: 13,807 tiles on eight shelves, from Dusk Cabinet to Ember Script.
Click a tile and the page wears it. Save the ones you like and use them on your own site.
A pile, not a museum. No guestbook.
