#
[aciccarello] I'll say my experience has been that a lot of my website improvements come in waves but there are long periods of no progress. Once I had things fleshed out a bit more the changes I've made have typically been smaller/easier.
#
[aciccarello] I still have a long list of ideas in GitHub though. I'm always looking for opportunities to work on it more.
#
h​avacow An ideas list is a good idea. That might be helpful for organizing what I want to do so that I'm more inclined to do it.
#
[aciccarello] I just use GitHub issues. Some people use their personal page on the indieweb wiki.

[jacky] ha i def use it to get it out of my head and make it searchable later
#
[jacky] I'd go on there and mumble "when was I going to use _this_?" to some
#
[jacky] needs to prune

gRegor what is itches?
#
Loqi Itches, in the context of the indieweb, are individuals's personal sources of annoyances using the web or in particular their own website, that they use to itemize and prioritize what to create, design, build, and improve on their own website, often by first listing such "itches" on a section in their User: page or on their own website https://indieweb.org/itches
#
[aciccarello] Still not a fan of the word "itches"
#
gRegor yeah

#
[tantek] It was scattered a bit, I had to collect a few things and also fix-up my own partial use of "itches" which I had been migrating away from

[tantek] I am really digging the post archives presentation at the bottom of https://manuelmoreale.com/more-new-mindsets-fewer-new-technologies — it feels very "book table of contents" like
