[Michael_Beckwit my thoughts are perhaps a post type + parent/child posts. Parent would be when i start a book, children would be "on page 4", "on page 67", etc
# [Michael_Beckwit needs formal planning still though
# 
chrisaldrich Here's an example with some basic markup: https://boffosocko.com/2012/06/17/big-history/#READING%20PROGRESS
# [Michael_Beckwit a status bar would be a nice garnish though 😄
# sivy-phone [Michael_Beckwit: updates could be “in-reply-to” the original post
# sivy-phone As Notes for example
# sivy-phone And % perhaps better than page numbers
# [Michael_Beckwit as long as i provide total pages, i can do the math to cover all the parts
# chrisaldrich I remember using <progress> and <label> elements. See also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/progress
# sivy-phone I would do “now at %” updates which means no math involved for progress, just use the latest update %
# [Michael_Beckwit i'm too lazy to do the math myself in my head
# chrisaldrich I like the idea of % for progress too, but the question is always how it's calculated? Does it include the front/back matter and the unnumbered pages of the book?
# chrisaldrich Too often I read academic books where I feel like I'm 20% of the way through the book, but I haven't even gotten to the page numbered 1.

# [Michael_Beckwit at least for me, it's page 1 to whatever page is right before footnotes/acknowledgements/indexes/etc
# [Michael_Beckwit so i can make that judgement and save it, and use that as the high end

# sivy-phone I use an E reader so I just look at the bottom of the screen :-)
# [Michael_Beckwit i like my books low tech and heavy in combined volume 😄

@maxhawkins In an attempt to sway the algorithm, I just configured my Twitter to mute everyone I'm following and only unmute 15 random followers each day. Do any of you do unusual things to give yourself more control over algorithmic feeds? (twitter.com/_/status/1221302340172410880)

# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Google Scholar" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Google Scholar is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# [jgmac1106] Altmetric, that is what I was thinking of
# [jgmac1106] A webmention counter could be sign of trust.
# [jgmac1106] What is happening is citation counts are getting massively effected by Academia.edu and Researchgate. The email notifications and email spam.... Think Google is responding

# jamesonq Hi, y'all. I'm Jameson — just graduating with a stats PhD, looking to have my own indieweb web site. I was looking for something python- or node-based so I tentatively chose redwind. But "last commit, 4 years ago" isn't encouraging.
# jamesonq Let's suppose, then, that I'm strongly anti-PHP (which isn't entirely true, but certainly I'd prefer to explore other options first).
# jamesonq I have some experience with Python and Javascript; no substantial experience with Ruby.
# jamesonq I'd like to choose something that's reasonably turnkey for now, but which I could conceivably start hacking on in the future if I decided to.
# jamesonq Does anyone here have any advice?
# aaronpk have you found this page yet? There are some python options here https://indieweb.org/Python
# jamesonq Willing to put in a couple day's work to get something up and running now, but I'd want it to be something where if I got stuck in a time loop, I could do it in under 4 hours the second time around. I'd probably be actually running this on Heroku.

# jamesonq yeah, that's where I got red wind; it seemed like the most "ready to go" option there
# jamesonq Don't just want a static site, so not kaku.

# jamesonq PISS github repository link gives me 404 — bad sign
# jamesonq Fair point.
# jamesonq but still, wanted to ask here first if anybody knows stuff that's not on the wiki

# jamesonq I'm open to both "you should look at X" and "probably stay away from X" as advice.
