[chrisaldrich] [schmarty] let me know what it will be and I'll come up with an example or two...
#
jacky wow man
#
jacky aaronpk++ for xray lol

Loqi aaronpk has 35 karma in this channel over the last year (220 in all channels)
#
jacky I hate writing this code lol omg
#
jacky (namely page resolution code)
#
[chrisaldrich] Anyone know of an iOS equivalent of the Android app URL Forwarder? It essentially becomes a target at which you can share a URL to and it will redirect to a web page and potentially programatically add to or change the input URL.
#
[chrisaldrich] example: https://boffosocko.com/2020/05/24/a-hack-for-using-hypothes-is-to-annotate-on-mobile/
#
[schmarty] Shortcuts is great for that
marcusr, seekr and KindOne joined the channel
#
[tantek] Wish I could get shortcuts to do anything interesting. So far all I’ve been able to do is hardcode a key combo to launch the DVD Player app
#
[schmarty] it's a powerful app that i find very frustrating to work with and debug
#
vilhalmer agreed
#
vilhalmer I used it to hack together a replacement for airdrop and clipboard handoff with my linux machines, works but I wouldn't call the process smooth exactly
#
vilhalmer immediately became critical to my workflow though so not the worst use of time I've ever spent

#
[chrisaldrich] I've now seen two extended references to changing the CSS for others' sites (silos) this weekend. It's always been possible, but is it a _thing_ now?
#
[chrisaldrich] Is anyone changing the look/feel of silos or other websites where they tend to spend a lot of time or feel the look and feel aren't up to snuff?
#
[chrisaldrich] What would this pattern be called?
#
aaronpk i mean i've been doing that to show youtube chat on my livestreams
[prtksxna] joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu user stylesheets
#
KartikPrabhu and they last for a little while until the silos change all their classes
#
[chrisaldrich] I was worried someone would remember "user stylesheets".
#
KartikPrabhu I got your back
#
[chrisaldrich] One of the references used the phrase "digital nesting" which I thought apt, though I'm not 100% sure she used in the way that I took it.
#
[chrisaldrich] What are user stylesheets?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "user stylesheets" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "user stylesheets is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[chrisaldrich] have you written up how you do that aaronpk?
#
aaronpk https://github.com/aaronpk/youtube-chat-overlay
#
[chrisaldrich] aaronpk++
#
Loqi aaronpk has 36 karma in this channel over the last year (221 in all channels)
#
[chrisaldrich] What is user stylesheet?
#
Loqi A user stylesheet is a customization of a third-party website within a browser to change the look and feel of that site using custom CSS or other code https://indieweb.org/user_stylesheet
#
[chrisaldrich] ^^ a stub if others have examples
[manton] joined the channel
#
[manton] Catching up on that social reader discussion… You can follow blogs in Micro.blog by domain name. You can't enter a specific RSS feed to follow. https://www.manton.org/2019/05/16/following-other-blogs.html
#
Loqi Following other blogs on Micro.blog
#
[manton] It works with most blogs where Micro.blog can discover the feed. No need for someone to register first.
#
aaronpk ahh cool!
#
aaronpk i searched "follow" and "external" in the help site and didn't find anything
awolf joined the channel
#
[manton] Hmm, thanks, I need to improve the help for this. I think the only page that mentions it is this one: https://help.micro.blog/2019/following/
#
aaronpk maybe just changing the subtitle of that page would help, because I don't usually think of individual blogs as "other networks"
KindTwo joined the channel
#
[manton] Good idea. I think the "other networks" was referring to Mastodon.

#
vika_nezrimaya Hi! Just wrote a rant about useless news outlets and posted it to IndieNews
#
vika_nezrimaya I'm really angry at my newsfeed right now... No real journalism, just some crude tech news retellings
#
vika_nezrimaya Don't read Soviet newspapers before lunch, as they say
#
swentel hehe
#
vika_nezrimaya My website is really useful even if it's an old version. e-content gets parsed for webmentions to send. My syndication is a bit broken on client side, so I wrote the link manually. It still got syndicated!
#
vika_nezrimaya Oops sorry probably meant to post in #dev
#
swentel that's fine, don't think many people are awake yet :)
#
swentel vika_nezrimaya, how's the android client going?
#
KartikPrabhu sounds like #dev talk ;)
#
swentel hehe true
