IWDiscordRelay <c​apjamesg#4492> The marginalia / annotation feature on this page is interesting: https://stanforddaily.com/2023/04/10/letter-to-the-editor-who-is-running-stanford/

#
[tantek] Doesn't show up on mobile. Nor does "hover" work as a gesture on a touch UI
#
[tantek] Also sad subject matter. CW: suicide
#
capjamesg [tantek]++ for the CW note.
#
Loqi [tantek] has 21 karma in this channel over the last year (93 in all channels)
#
[tantek] That story has been stuck in my head since it happened :(

capjamesg What is random?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "random" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "random is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
capjamesg Random is a feature that takes you to a random page on someone's personal website.
#
Loqi ok
#
gRegor Or for a random wiki page: https://indieweb.org/Special:Random :)

#
elret Hello capjamesg and [chrisbergr] - it's great to be here. @capjamesg, it was great to meet you yesterday at the Homebrew Website Club
#
elret (I'm Felix, today I joined the chat for the first time with my nickname elret)
#
elret @[chrisbergr], yes, I'm working on my website spieltagsgedichte.de
#
elret I write a poem after every match of my team 1. FC Nürnberg and then I post it there
#
capjamesg Ah yes indeed! Welcome!
#
capjamesg And congrats on getting your wiki page and sparkline set up!
#
elret Thank you! I'm kind of proud of that, too ;-)
#
[chrisbergr] Even though soccer is absolutely not my interest at all, it's a nice idea with the poems 🙂

IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> Hello! I drop by from time to time (recently changed my nickname), and wanted to bring a project I'm fundraising for the attention of people in this group.
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> I run a group similar to this one (fancoders.com) dedicated to teaching coding skills to fans, a community with many members of underrepresented minorities in tech. We're currently raising funds to create an accessible guide to Git and GitHub, as we've seen that's the main issue blocking them from contributing to open source projects.
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> If this is successful, we plan to move to making guides about building personal websites and all other types of webdev technologies. Our ethos is really aligned with the IndieWeb mission, so I thought you might be interested.
#
[snarfed] hi ms boba! what was your nickname before?
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> edgeduchess
#
[snarfed] ah, welcome back!
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> thank you!
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> anyway, I'd love to drop the Kickstarter link if that's not against the rules
#
[snarfed] sure
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> here it is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/essential-randomness/the-fujoshi-guide-to-web-development
#
IWDiscordRelay <m​s boba#6969> we've seen an extremely positive response from many people who haven't been historically interested in web development, so even if the concept might sound a bit out there we really believe it will have a significant impact
