[KevinMarks] Interesting design steer from Doug Bowman on threads https://twitter.com/stop/status/1459660906514636803?s=20

@stop One of my twitter accounts must be in a test group for this new FB-like timeline design. Super uncomfortable browsing experience. We tried designs showing tweets like this a few times (pfp and name stacked on top of full-width tweet), but they didn’t make it out of design review. (twitter.com/_/status/1459660906514636803)
# [KevinMarks] I see that Slack follows this model too

Seb[d] I am in this 'test group' too and I don't like it. But it's a nice nudge to look into IndieWeb readers again

jeremycherfas I am doing that too Seb[d] but right now do not know which template(s) I need to edit to add the link to <head> in WithKnown.
# Seb[d] wait I saw that message in the #known channel

capjamesg[d] What is a digital garden?
# 
Loqi A commonplace book (or commonplaces) are a way to compile and store knowledge, usually by writing information into books, notebooks, card catalogs, or in more modern settings on one's own website https://indieweb.org/digital_garden
# capjamesg[d] Do we have a good wiki page on “old school” blogging? (I.e. Kottke or Rebecca Blood)
# jeremycherfas Beyond /blog ?
# jeremycherfas I mean, it could possibly do with a little work, but it covers the basics. What did you have in mind capjamesg[d] ?
# jeremycherfas There are links there to Rebefcca Blood on the history of blogging, among other things.
# jeremycherfas I don't fully understand the difference between /blog and /blogging but somebody may have a clear view.

# capjamesg[d] I am working on a dark mode for my site. I'd love some feedback!
# capjamesg[d] This is my first foray into dark mode. Thanks for the brief on red/green color-blindness. I forgot about that!
# capjamesg[d] This is v2:
# capjamesg[d] I removed the red and the orange in the navigation bar.
# capjamesg[d] I am going to trigger this with the prefers-color-scheme css class.
# capjamesg[d] I only recently found out about the class. It triggers certain CSS rules when a user prefers dark color schemes.
# Seb[d] (it is not a class but a media-query)
# Seb[d] On macOS and iOS it's a system-wide setting. But it really is a browser setting somewhere, I would say. (I put mine on 'follow the OS')

# Seb[d] oh that's pretty neat. works on my computer, for now :)
# capjamesg[d] Is it possible to entirely manipulate the theme of a page with CSS hiding / showing?
# capjamesg[d] I saw adactio.com has different themes. The HTML stays the same but the CSS changes the positioning.
# capjamesg[d] I am trying to do this but can't quite figure it out.

[chrisaldrich] What is a bumper sticker?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "bumper sticker" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "bumper sticker is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [chrisaldrich] hmmm... I'm looking for something /fun and indiewebby like: "My other blog is a tumblr."
