@mirandareinert ppl don’t like the private quote tweet but just imagine if you could know how many times someone direct messaged your tweet to someone else (twitter.com/_/status/1361505762699313153)

#
sebsel yes and then it still shows up as a retweet but the author can’t see it. I have seen ppl mad about this
#
sebsel still increments the retweet count*

dami0 hi. i'm looking for good resources about building a simple website from scratch without too much bloat, i'd appreciate if anyone can give me a pointer.
#
scojjac scojjac
#
scojjac Hi all! Hope you're having a good day. I'm trying to add myself to the IndieWebRing, but got an emoji combo I'm not crazy about (flipping people off). Know a way to fix that?
#
jbove dami0: Welcome. What kind of content would you like to share on your website? What do you want to publish?
#
jbove aaronpk: can an IndieWebRing emoji key be changed? See scojjac's message.
#
aaronpk 😂 paging [schmarty] the creator of the indiewebring ^^
#
jbove oh, thought that was you aaronpk :-)
#
scojjac Thanks jbove and aaronpk
#
dami0 jbove: trying to get my business website together. IT freelancing, but mostly backend stuff.
#
jbove scojjac: I see why you would like to chance that combination. Very unfortunate.
#
jbove Especially the combination with the 4 the middle finger and then the yellow heart
#
dami0 pretty much just trying to get together a little landing page that mostly gives contact info and i don't really fancy going with "website makers"
#
jbove dami0: So are you planning to publish an about page, contact information, perhaps a blog and case-studies?
#
dami0 jbove: yep
#
jbove Ok, gotcha. How technical do you see yourself? You mention "backend" - do you mind doing some coding yourself or would prefer a more what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach?
a_chou joined the channel
#
dami0 i'd say pretty technical
#
jbove Github Pages comes to mind already then: https://pages.github.com/
#
dami0 do you know of anything similar that is geared for self hosting?
#
jbove sure: you can build something pretty cool with 11ty.dev to if you already have hosting
#
dami0 thank you!
#
jbove many starter template exist: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/starter/
#
Loqi hey jbove: I don't mean to be a bother, but can you take this conversation to #indieweb-dev?
#
jbove Sure thing Loqi. If you need any more help dami0 - we're here ;-)

#
jbove Hi [chrisaldrich] Thanks for pointing out this work about transclusion by Maggie Appleton. Trying to wrap my head around these concepts.

[schmarty] !tell scojjac oh no! emoji identifiers has been such a pain. i have plans to stop displaying them on profile pages and in the directory page soon. in terms of linking them on your own site, you can use the percent-encoded version of the recommended link embed so that you don't have to see the emoji yourself 🙈
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
scojjac Fair enough, thanks [schmarty]!
#
jacky I've been actually leaning to the percent-encoded form myself
#
jacky a bit more predictable and feels safer when handling it in source
#
[schmarty] scojjac: sorry for the offensive emoji id. 😅 for what it is worth, they are generated automatically from your domain name using a library called hash-emoji
#
[schmarty] i made a fork of it to remove country flags since that was problematic in different ways. at one point i considered removing more potentially problematic emojis but gave up. really any emoji can become a problem when you are combining 2 or 3 of them ...
#
scojjac I can imagine the challenges
#
scojjac No worries! It's a neat way to discover other indieweb sites - reminds me of stumbleupon
