[tantek] Speaking of necessarily indieweb-y, this page: https://indieweb.org/blog ironically has no IndieWeb Examples 😂
#
[tantek] To avoid making work for folks, how is this for answering the "What are examples of IndieWeb blogs?" question: https://indieweb.org/blog#IndieWeb_Examples (a bit meta, though the question of "what is a blog" is very much on topic for IndieWeb and happy to hear different opinions on that!)

[LewisCowles] Good morning IndieWeb
#
jeremycherfas Good morning IndieWeb and [LewisCowles]
#
[LewisCowles] bread happening again Thursday, got 3.5kg of four coming
#
[LewisCowles] *flour
#
[LewisCowles] at least I hope I didn't order four
#
[LewisCowles] lol
#
[LewisCowles] crate of pyramid dice shows up, I'll know I should read and type better
#
jeremycherfas Heh.

#
Zegnat Good morning IndieWeb! Wow, I feel like it has been ages but I think I only had to drop off from non-work programming for about a week
#
Zegnat [LewisCowles]: you can never have to many dice. And d4s can always be weaponised as caltrops. So no loss.
#
swentel it's a healthy thing to do now and then :)
#
Zegnat I hadn’t planned to do it, it just kinda happened. Made it extra weird.
#
Zegnat So now I have lots to catch up on!

#
[snarfed] ^ i think that trend is actually good in some ways. for functionality specifically, it seems harmful if sites all use different UX patterns, affordances, etc. i don't want to constantly re-learn thousands of sites from scratch just to get something simple done in each one
#
[snarfed] from the article: "If designs are becoming more similar...They’re also more user-friendly, since new visitors won’t have to spend as much time learning how to navigate the site’s pages."
#
aaronpk it's similar to how frustrating it is when websites take over the scrollbar and manage their own scrolling and such
#
[snarfed] yup
#
[snarfed] for pure style and visual design though, vive la difference
#
[snarfed] example age-old project i worked on to standardize UX across personal sites for a common user task: sending them a message. https://snarfed.org/2014-03-10_lets-talk-userscript
#
aaronpk speaking of which, this is making me reconsider what's at the top of my home page
#
aaronpk twitter profile pages have a "follow" button and "DM" button for example

#
[tantek] This is why I have a 💬 link right there at the top
#
jacky I think I'm a little against it because homogeneity usually results in the unique things being wiped out in favor of "compatibility"
#
aaronpk it might be time for me to redesign my contact page
[manton] and wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] jacky++ I'm definitely in favor of the more "expressive" nature of the web
#
Loqi jacky has 19 karma in this channel over the last year (80 in all channels)
#
[tantek] also most innovation comes from unique things being different and weird

[chrisaldrich] What is Micropubsubhubbubadubdub?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Micropubsubhubbubadubdub" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Micropubsubhubbubadubdub is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[chrisaldrich] I won't make an attempt but someone took a roundabout way: https://trivial.observer/blog/micropub/
#
Loqi [Basil] Micropubsubhubbubadubdub
#
swentel hehe
#
swentel funny :)
#
[snarfed] huh. that article has mastodon backfeed but not via bridgy? now i'm interested
#
[chrisaldrich] Looks like he accepts webmentions, so you can ask pretty easily... 🙂
#
[chrisaldrich] What is 100 days?
#
Loqi A 100 days project in the IndieWeb community is a challenge to do or make something and post about it on your own site every day for 100 days https://indieweb.org/100_days
#
[chrisaldrich] 100 days << https://trivial.observer/blog/100-days-to-offload/
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://trivial.observer/blog/100-days-to-offload/" to the "See Also" section of /100_days https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=69975&oldid=69495

#
jacky ngl I really like how the comments on that site look
#
jacky 100% going to look to that for my site
#
[tantek] oh? can you screenshot / summarize why you like their look and add to /comments#IndieWeb_Examples ?

#
[LewisCowles] !tell Zegnat indeed. It's the one thing missing from the free GTA V I signed up for over the weekend. It's got Golf, Tennis, Weight lifting, Bicycling, Driving and races, just needs D&D and table-top game collection now.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
