Loqi highlight.js is a script made by capjamesg that lets you interactively highlight different pieces of text on a web page https://indieweb.org/highlight.js
# 
IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I have had a lot of fun with this.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> One caveat: opening links with highlights using the extension doesn't work at the moment.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I published the version I finished toward the end of Create Day, which had a bug.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> We decided to call it highlight.js because the script is for text highlighting.

# IWDiscordRelay <kaeldra#8403> capjamesg[d] that's awesome! And faster than I would have guessed 😂
# IWDiscordRelay <kaeldra#8403> Just curious, has it ever come up to talk to Substack about adding webmention support? I read a lot of newsletters published there (via RSS) and currently manually POSSE comments from my blog

# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> Chrome’s extension marketplace has a longer turnaround time for reviews.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I have submitted my extension.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I have added it [tantek]. Only one more bug to fix and some docs to write then I’ll feel good about other people using it.

# [snarfed]2 reposting since I probably do need to make a decision here eventually:
# [snarfed]2 Bridgy UX question: Bridgy currently backfeeds Mastodon posts that link to your site, like it does with Twitter. Mastodon has no global search, though, so this search is *only on your account’s instance*, so it misses similar link posts on all other instances.
# [snarfed]2 is it worth keeping that home-instance-only link backfeed on? or should I turn it off to avoid confusion? eg https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/1371#issuecomment-1363834391
# Loqi [preview] [spcbfr] Hey thanks for replying so fast, and also for making such a great project!
to test if everything was working properly, I made this post on mastodon https://fosstodon.org/@spacebuffer/109562100003582702 that contained a link to one of my posts and ...

# 
[KevinMarks] that still seems useful, [snarfed] - you could maybe accumulate across instances of bridgy fed users, though I know some would be wary of that so you'd need to follow noindex rules for each instance
# [snarfed]2 thanks! oh and this is normal Bridgy, not Fed

# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> The newest version of highlight.js has been submitted for approval to the Mozilla store.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> The last version was broken but this one should be fixed.

# Guest6370 Howdy, this seems like a cool community. I'm actually connected to IRC through my personal website atm. Looking forward to the meeting today to see what it's like.

# Guest6370 Is there a place I could share a link to my personal website?
# DustinBrett Ok thanks! I looked into signing in but didn't really desire changing my sites code to accommodate. But maybe in the future. As for now my site is https://dustinbrett.com/ if anyone is interested in checking it out. I've been working on this iteration of it for almost 2 years now and the code is open source as well.
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> Thanks gRegor!
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> Welcome DustinBrett!
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I _love_ your website design!
# 
gRegor DustinBrett, If you use RelMeAuth it can be pretty minimal HTML to sign in: https://indieweb.org/How_to_set_up_web_sign-in_on_your_own_domain
# gRegor We have a few chat channels with different purposes: https://indieweb.org/discuss#Chat_Channels_Purposes
# IWDiscordRelay <capjamesg#4492> I amended the description gRegor.
# DustinBrett Well I am just sharing my personal site. The fact it's open source doesn't need to be related. The code is generic and my personal site is a customization of it. I could post the open source aspects in the dev channel.
# 
M0x3b0b[m] I love the name, too. Just as a heads-up, though, the clock display is cut off at the edges for me, and somewhat to my surprise it doesn't appear to be because of the width of my window.
# DustinBrett Thanks for the note about the clock. It's a tight area and perhaps your system font is a bit too big. Could you perhaps clarify what system you have?
# DustinBrett Ah ok haha
# DustinBrett Thanks in regards to the name, it took a while to think up. And thanks on Winamp also. I added a lot of features to it like Milkdrop and streaming/playlist support. The main app itself for that thing is called Webamp and was not made by me.
# M0x3b0b[m] Kinda makes me feel at home, though. On my Windows boxes I always have to adjust the width of the taskbar (which has to be vertical, of course; horizontal taskbars belong on Linux only) so my T-Clock display shows the way I want it.
# M0x3b0b[m] Ah, system font! Good point. I'm running Arch Linux and...uh...hm, what font is that, anyhow? I keep wrestling with my system over the fact that all default fonts should be monospace and it has peculiar results sometimes.
# DustinBrett Ah Arch Linux, ya maybe the font is a bit too wide in that case, but I will try and fix it in the future anyway as I try for max compatibility (with modern browsers).
# DustinBrett Ya rather than embed the Windows 10 font I just use system which is faster and often has good results. But I have few people who see it on Linux and give me feedback.
# DustinBrett Well if that was a bot I can post the open source repo here also if anyone is interested. https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS It's actually decently popular with almost 6k stars.

[chrisaldrich] I just saw the birthday balloons 🎈 on your site aaronpk. Happy birthday.
# [chrisaldrich] what is year in review?
# Loqi Year in Review is a feature on some silos (like Facebook) as well as being a special kind of article on some IndieWeb sites that summarizes important aspects of the past year https://indieweb.org/year_in_review
# [chrisaldrich] year in review << Example of a 40 question year in review template for personal websites: https://cagrimmett.com/life/2022/12/27/40-questions-for-2022/; inspired by https://stephanango.com/40-questions
# Loqi ok, I added "Example of a 40 question year in review template for personal websites: https://cagrimmett.com/life/2022/12/27/40-questions-for-2022/; inspired by https://stephanango.com/40-questions" to the "See Also" section of /year_in_review https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=85412&oldid=85039
# DustinBrett Year in reviews are a good idea. I actually did a vlog one recently for my project. I think the best part of the year end reviews is the fact you kept at something for another year. https://youtu.be/AMnLsUytCRQ
# DustinBrett It's cool you are on Libera.Chat. They offer public websockets proxy so I am able to use purely client side IRC via KiwiIRC embedded in my site as an "app". I wanted to skin it like mIRC which was my favorite, but it's kinda a lot of work with how KiwiIRC has themeing.
# M0x3b0b[m] I miss Xircon sometimes.
# DustinBrett I hadn't even heard of that one actually. I guess I found mIRC and didn't look further. But I'd stopped IRC a long time ago tbh. Slowly coming back now that I found out about these public websocket proxies and added the client to my site.
# [chrisaldrich] snarfed, in response to the Mastodon search question and mentions of links, (unless I'm misreading it) like many I wished they'd added webmention, but since they didn't (haven't), mentions from my instance at a minimum are great. I really wish I could get mentions from others (or perhaps even just the larger/major public instances?) Of course, I also realize that some may not want this at all for moderation reasons. I always tend
# [chrisaldrich] to wanting more rather than less in these areas... Curious what others think.
# [chrisaldrich] Loqi probably doesn't know about them yet, but please take the more technical/jargon-based talk of websocket proxies to the #indieweb-dev channel. 🙂
# DustinBrett I'll keep the jargon stuff out of the channel, not that I am telling anyone to do dev. Maybe I just talk like a dev all the time as I am one :-)

[tantek] this is interesting, Twitter is now showing replies to deleted tweets (and tweets from deleted accounts), e.g. https://twitter.com/qhardy/status/1586830534654971904

AramZ-S[m] I think those were always available? Just had to know the link to the post which was hard to find
# [snarfed]2 right
# [snarfed]2 oh, but via the reply’s URL, not the deleted tweet’s URL. [tantek] is right, the latter may be new
