cambridgeport90It would appear that some folks would make a stink on Mastodon about how this server keeps public logs of public chats; stating that it does not comply with GDPR if people are not able to erase their data or see it... but how does that law even apply if this chat server is public anyway? As technologists, not lawyers, gods... do we seriously have to worry about this crap, too?
[snarfed]1more comprehensively no, most indieweb services don't need to worry about GDPR, and yes, if the data is public, that's one reason (among others). https://indieweb.org/GDPR , https://brid.gy/about#gdpr

[aciccarello]That's a cool idea for a hidden interface. I'd probably just add it as a hidden button on my page. I already have a "View on GitHub" link in my footer.
hollieSo the question is: I've used WordPress in the past, and I'm using Microblog at the moment, but I'm still trying to figure out how to build what I want.
hollieSo many blogs will have an "archive" page or a list of tags, and you click a tag or category, and it goes to a page that shows all the posts in order - but the full posts. Which means I can't easily scan through the subjects to look for something.
hollieI'd like to have a site where I could, say, write about a lot of different things, but if someone clicked on the Knitting page, they woud see a page with a list of subject lines for posts that were about Knitting. Not the posts themselves. Does this make sense?
hollieI would have thought so too, but when I asked in a recent WordPress training group they seemed confused. Like why would I want this? And the answer was about building a new page with all these blocks, and I'm just allergic to the whole block thing on WP right now.
hollieIt seemed like there should be an easy to way to code so that a page knows, "Bring me a list of every subject line in the Knitting category". But then I don't know code, so...
barnabybut if obsidian is just a nice interface over a load of markdown files, it’s probably possible to throw some of them into a static site generator and get a usable result
hollieI want to support Osidian and I definitely don't mind paying for things, but in the long term that isn't a sustainable yearly cost for me, I'd like to be able to build somethig similar on my own.
hollieAlso - another topic - I notice when I click on my name here it goes to my old (broken/gone) site. How do I make my name here go to my current site?
hollieI really want to learn how to just build my own WP theme. I know exactly what I want, I just can't find any theme that does it, so then I think, why not build my own? But then I look at how much there is to know and I get intimidated.
hollieBut the community here seems pretty amazing so maybe I should just go for it and then come here with my questions. Hopefully not on a too-annoying basis!

jacky I'd test this on a local instance of wordpress but https://github.com/devbean/obsidian-wordpress
barnaby it looks like there are plenty of 3rd party methods for turning obsidian vaults into a folder full of HTML and CSS you can throw up on any shared hosting https://forum.obsidian.md/t/static-site-generators-any-guides/8915/5
[KevinMarks] The other thing that could work with a straightforward theme would be to use <details><summary> to make the titles expand the post inline,
