aaronpkI think Amazon's NoSQL database is going to be the thing I use instead, since it's a totally abstracted data store, there's no concept of a server behind it
aaronpktheir relational DB service still essentially runs on a server, you just don't manage that server. however it's still subject to getting rebooted with downtime for maintenance.
aaronpkwhat's really interesting is that Amazon S3 is so popular that other companies have created services that use the same API so you can swap out for them
aaronpkDynamoDB is actually a pretty good candidate for this, since it means I am not concerned with physical servers, but I can also query on a few different attributes
snarfedprice can be sensitive, sure, but for many of us, if the difference is something like e.g. $2/mo vs $4/mo, other factors should probably override :P
tantekreading time is a feature of posts (usually articles) that indicates the expected amount of time (typically in minutes) that it would take to read the post.
aaronpkthe first time I saw a "reading time" on an article, I assumed the site was doing something clever like logging how long people interact with the page and showing the average of that
mathpunkam I going to have to annotate the html so that it knows that it's supposed to fit to height? I went as far as to make a wide version for desktop but, that sounds like I have to somehow ask what rectangle it's being viewed on
miklbthat seems to be how he's adding comments. I know a lot of Jekyll users just use Disqus, but I'd like to avoid that. I've seen a solution that uses Firebase, which is better because you can pull the comments back down as JSON for archiving, or possibly caching them.
miklbI'm already accepting webmentions, but was curious if there were any ways from someone to leave a comment directly on the site. I recently switched to Jekyll from a db/php driven site.
miklbthanks all. Not a huge part of my redesign, just looking at options. Might just look at option of including the tweet reply/webmention form like voxpelli is using.
miklbmblaney: yes, I've looked at that. I'm using webmention.io and something similar already for displaying webmentions (as well as sending them when I build the site and deploy)

dogadaDoes anyone have issues with using both h-breadcrumb and h-entry on a page and publishing such page via brid.gy? Before I added h-breadcrumb brid.gy parsed h-entry on a page properly but now when same page have both h-breadcrumb and h-entry (example: https://dogada.org/dvd/blog/implemented-breadcrumbs) brid.gy offer to use text from h-breadcrumb instead of h-entry. Created also a ticket for the issue: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/621

aaronpki'm debating whether i should scrape the HTML from instagram/twitter or use their APIs, which might mean i'd need to do user auth to avoid rate limits
tantekKevinMarks: I thought there was an endpoint that Twitter's JS uses to get the embedded tweet content - to display on other sites that add Twitter's embed markup
tantekKevinMarks: there's no examples of actual pages returning spurious u utility properties - if you think there are, please share a parsed result URL

gRegorLovetantek: I *might* feel comfortable posting a github issue requesting if such an update is cool. I'd be surprised if they said yes, though, since it would break backwards compatibility.
Loqi[shaners]: tantek left you a message 22 hours, 50 minutes ago: it was a back/forth process between me conveying concepts to represent, @simplebits doing design possibilities, sharing them with me, me saying "more like that one", and after a couple of iterations we got pretty close to the current logo, and then he did look/feel/logotype refinements until we got what we have now. http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-02-18/line/1455826307529
gRegorLoveIt's been on my site since July. I have my own custom CSS additions. Since it's easy for me to update my copy of it, I will probably change u-* to util-*, but I'm not releasing it publicly.
tantekforking is when you deliberately choose to take an open source project a different direction than the current "maintainers/deciders" of the project want
gRegorLoveYeah, I generally understand "forking". Just didn't necessarily consider me putting a CSS boilerplate on my own site and then adding my custom CSS to it "forking"
miklbtantek: that's an interesting perspective. I alyways thought ”clone“ and issue pull request for making suggestions, fork for taking project in different direction.
aaronpkmost of the time, i'm making things where the goal is not to have the best design or even a unique design, but I want it to look reasonably good
LoqiBootstrap is a large collection of boilerplate HTML and CSS styles and components originally developed by Twitter https://indiewebcamp.com/Bootstrap
gRegorLoveLooks like they're using "Legacy.css" on their own site, so that's good. Their contact us email is @akeo.xyz, which is still using skeleton.css
tantekok KevinMarks, gRegorLove, aaronpk - captured your use-cases for better default styling CSS (not really a "framework" per se, since you're not writing "stylesheets" in it *instead of* CSS)
tantekmost of what you said as itches I was already doing for my foundational stylesheet "elementica.css" but your specific requests will help guide future iterations
tantekKevinMarks: the Tufte stylesheet is a bit more stylistically opinionated - so unless you can show me someone using it in the wild on their own personal site, I'll take it as a datapoint, but not foundational
gRegorLovetantek: Oh, don't think I mentioned. My primary reason for using Skeleton on my own site was to add a responsive grid without all the bloat of using Bootstrap. All the typography and other design I had pretty much to my liking.
KevinMarksa CSS Framework is a way to swap understanding the mysteries of CSS for a set of generic decision made by someone else wiht its own set of mysteries that have been through less peer review. Examples include [[Bootstrap]], [[semantic-ui]] and [[Skeleton]]
