@rachsyme If you started a niche blog (and I mean old school geocities/Wordpress/blogger blog, not a newsletter) right now, what would it be about? Don’t overthink it. (twitter.com/_/status/1336329245178523648)

[tw2113_Slack_] i’m a bit amused that WP is lumped in that tweet
#
[tw2113_Slack_] since it’s technically just a blog still the moment you install it, but everyone uses it for anything but

astralbijection So I have a personal website/blog that's just a static site, but I'm feeling fancy and want to build a django API backend for it. Anyone have ideas for stuff could I put on it?
#
astralbijection Commenting that isn't Disqus is the first thing that comes to mind

[jgmac1106] What is webmention?
#
Loqi Webmention is a web standard for mentions and conversations across the web, a powerful building block that is used for a growing federated network of comments, likes, reposts, and other rich interactions across the decentralized social web https://indieweb.org/Webmention
#
astralbijection Yeah I'm thinking of adding that too

#
astralbijection I don't know if I want to move the blog posts into a sort of CMS or not. They're currently all markdown files in a folder that get checked into git, and I kinda like that more than a web editor
#
aaronpk you can have both!
#
aaronpk there's no reason a web-based editor can't use files as its storage
#
astralbijection Hmm, that's true
#
aaronpk here are some ideas from my site: https://indieweb.org/p3k#Storage happy to answer more questions in #indieweb-dev :)
#
ccozkan Does user profile page on indieweb.org gets autogenerated after sign up?
#
aaronpk there's a link to it after you're logged in, but it doesn't get anything added to it automatically if that's what you mean
#
aaronpk tho that would be a cool feature :)
