[tw2113_Slack_] I find this timely given the discussion a week or so back https://css-tricks.com/words-avoid-educational-writing/
# [tw2113_Slack_] i mean, if i have to live with ads, though i don't thanks to addons, that's what i'd want

Loqi ok, I added "“we shouldn't mistake the ability to revisit your past experiences and thoughts for algorithmic cruelty – the answer to this cruelty isn't to destroy our digital time-machines; it's to seize the means of computation.” https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/06/digital-phrenology/#weaponized-nostalgia" to the "See Also" section of /on_this_day https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=75211&oldid=75203

jeremycherfas I don't know how to do a link to the Writers, tools and blogging platforms: an exchange heading at https://memex.naughtons.org/tuesday-6-april-2021-2/33463/ but it is crying out for someone more experienced than I to say something about how micropub could fulfill the need.

[manton] Ulysses, which is mentioned in that post, added Micro.blog support a couple weeks ago by the way. It does use Micropub behind the scenes, but is hardcoded to Micro.blog for now. Could be expanded later to any Micropub server. (It actually supports a lot of new-ish Micropub stuff too… mp-destination, drafts, etc.)
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "photo tag" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "photo tag is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# [tantek] I really like the clean minimal design of https://melanie-richards.com/ especially the fact that beyond the static-ish content at the top and bottom, the majority of the vertical space in the middle is "recent" and drawn from other updated parts of her site.
tomlarkworthy joined the channel
# [tantek] Note that her blog posts support Webmentions and she labels the section "Responses" (which I think is good) https://melanie-richards.com/blog/learning-log-2103/

# jeremycherfas Well, yes. Winer is the problem in that dialogue.

[chrisaldrich] tantek, I liked her site as well. I also appreciated how she re-framed the idea of a link log sort of post as a "learning log". (And especially liked that particular post for the introduction to a new spaced repetition web app for learning Japanese Kanji). Beyond that I'm sort of freaking out about how she's doing the images and hover effects for her books at https://highlights.melanie-richards.com/ which is an awesome effect I completely
# [chrisaldrich] want on my site now.

[aciccarello] Those SVG background images are a cool effect

jacky and as with all of the dope things, it's open https://github.com/melanierichards/highlights
# [chrisaldrich] Also in true IndieWeb fashion, she's documented some of it here: https://melanie-richards.com/blog/highlights-minisite/

# [chrisaldrich] If anyone has pointers for how to create these kinds of svg outline images, that would be cool.

# [aciccarello] I love her bucket list page ❤ https://bucketlist.melanie-richards.com/

# [tw2113_Slack_] mmm Inkscape ❤
# [chrisaldrich] I'll be honest, I've got to close my browser for a bit... her website(s) are a treasure trove of too many things I want on my website so I'm going to have to take a break before I fall down too many rabbit holes and lose the entire day. Books, bucketlists, crafts... oh my.

# [chrisaldrich] What is a bucketlist?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "bucketlist" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "bucketlist is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [chrisaldrich] What is a page?
# Loqi page is short for web page on the IndieWeb, and is usually primarily known by its name and kept updated in place in contrast to posts which are primarily datetime-based; a page that is browser-editable with viewable revisions is a wiki-page https://indieweb.org/page
# [chrisaldrich] Does anyone else have a bucketlist page?

# [jeremycherfas] I dislike the framing of bucket list. But maybe because I have no desire to kick the bucket, and having a long list would just make me anxious.

# maxwelljoslyn Hey all. I got my coronavirus vaccine yesterday (yay) but today I feel like I have the flu (boo.) Could I ask someone to step up as host for for tonight's HWC America? Maybe GWG or lahacker. Thanks
# maxwelljoslyn alternate host*. Since there's a chance I'll be fine by 18:00 local.
