[chrisaldrich] An absolutely beautiful design for short notes here: http://aegir.org/words/i-like-index-cards
#
[chrisaldrich] This is the sort of theme that will appeal to zettelkasten users who are building digital gardens. A bit of the old mixed in with the new.
#
[chrisaldrich] The general visual style of that site is great in general. Nearly every page has it's own style.
#
[chrisaldrich] what is an archive?
#
Loqi archive in the context of the indieweb refers to date-grouped (often monthly) sets of posts (AKA personal historical archives, a common form of temporal navigation), but can sometimes mean archival copy, a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time https://indieweb.org/archive
#
[chrisaldrich] archive << http://aegir.org/archive/
#
Loqi ok, I added "http://aegir.org/archive/" to the "See Also" section of /archive https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=78681&oldid=75102
#
capjamesg[d] Amazing!
#
[chrisaldrich] I wish I had the wherewithal to do that much work for each post. Reminds me of some of the creativity of kickscondor.com which is an entirely different esthetic.
#
capjamesg[d] hacdias.com has a different background for lots of pages.
#
capjamesg[d] I like that design.
#
Zegnat Jason Santa Maria had a period where every blog host had a unique design too
#
Zegnat Example from his archive: https://v4.jasonsantamaria.com/articles/category/candygram/
#
Zegnat He also does an interesting thing where his article archive includes screenshots of the posts
#
petermolnar [chrisaldrich]: turn it into a math problem: derive the color from something like number of words on the post, or something more obscure (Zegnat chip in which ideas), etc., make a mini-theme-template, and populate it according to the color.
#
Zegnat I did that once. Most hash functions (should) have random distribution, and most can be hex encoded. So you can hash any of the blog content, and take any 6 symbols from the hex string at random to get a unique colour. The results were lackluster
#
[chrisaldrich] petermolnar, that would be a great way (and totally on brand) to do posts if you were a paint company like https://twitter.com/Benjamin_Moore or maybe if you were running the Pantone website.
#
[chrisaldrich] What is color?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "color" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "color is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[chrisaldrich] 🤔 I could have sworn that tantek had a page like that or something related to color palettes, but I'm not seeing it now.

#
[jacky] I really like aegir's site!
#
[chrisaldrich] Since it looks like he's from west Wales, one might say "Dw i'n hoffi gwefan aegir."
#
[jacky] ha!

#
rototo I think now social networks+messengers have totally won the competition. Some time ago admin of one FB group decided to move from FB and asked subscribers. Typical comment: anywhere but not a website!

#
[jacky] who else was in that competition? how was the 'winning' factor determined? because those things all exist on webistes (or web apps)
