what is ISSN
#
Loqi
International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an identification number for periodicals that at least two IndieWeb community members have on their websites https://indieweb.org/ISSN

[tantek] do you mean a static site generator? I use 11ty. But maybe you mean something else.
#
btrem
(Hmm. Normally, when I link to a single chat, Loqi helpfully inserts the text. Not this time. The link is to [tantek]'s question, "does anyone here use a static site CMS for their personal site?")
#
btrem
And now that I've read the further chat, in 11ty you could organize by tag, or by subdirectory. 11ty is pretty flexible when it comes to grouping content.
#
Loqi
[preview] [aaronpk] OwnYourGram is effectively dead at this point anyway. I should just archive this repo.

btrem, no I mean static site CMS, see the difference in their definitions
#
[tantek]
what is a static site CMS
#
Loqi
A static site CMS is a CMS that can be used to view, edit, and create static files used by a static site generator https://indieweb.org/static_site_CMS
#
[tantek]
what is an SSG
#
Loqi
A static site generator or SSG is software that developers can use to setup a personal site that uses a set of text content files typically stored on a server, and transforms them into a set of static HTML files for a website https://indieweb.org/SSG
#
[tantek]
hmm the CLI dependency should be in the dfn
#
btrem
Ah, sorry. So is wiki software a static site CMS?
#
btrem
Slightly related: one thing I don't like about 11ty is that the content and the config are mixed together. It makes it hard to separate the two, and means you can't easily create a clean repo for a specific 11ty config.
#
[tantek]
depends on the wiki software. MediaWiki is not since it uses MySQL
#
[tantek]
SSG << 11ty
#
Loqi
[tantek]: it seems like this conversation is more appropriate for #indieweb-dev (SSG)
#
[tantek]
lol yes
#
btrem
IOW, it's hard to share an 11ty setup that might server a specific need.
#
btrem
...serve a specific need.
#
btrem
But I guess Loqi's suggestion probably applies to my chat, too. ;-) So I'll stop now.

[tantek] Eleventy is already in the list of SSGs on that page

aaronpk, I'm wondering if/when IG adds an "auto-post to Threads" option, and then hopefully later this year anyone will be able to opt-in to having their Threads feed followed from Mastodon etc., and then perhaps OwnYourThreads becomes a replacement for OwnYourGram!
#
[tantek]
will take the ASCII art diagram to #indieweb-dev
#
aaronpk
that'd be .... interesting

I added a countdown scheduled for 2024-01-10 7:00pm UTC (#7090)
#
[tantek]
I mean Loqi should be announcing these in #indieweb-meta anyway but that's a separate feature request 🙂

"Where have all the websites gone?" - They've been here for almost two decades waiting patiently for big social to implode.
#
sebbu
to2ds, well, i know someone with a blog that is dead since over 2 years, but his twitter isn't dead
#
sebbu
he could have made all the various pinned tweets (changed over time) as blogpost, that would have been enough
#
to2ds
sebbu - Seems the users don't like to venture outside the walled gardens.
#
sebbu
well, the blog was also a walled garden (fc2)

#
to2ds
Not sure what's worse. The walled gardens or the paywalled gardens. Felt like almost every link out from big social was to a paywall of some sort.
#
[snarfed]
gotta pay for journalism and writers somehow. the alternative is ads, which arguably turned out worse
#
[snarfed]
sorry, #indieweb-chat territory

what is business model
#
Loqi
business models are ways to offer indieweb products and or services that users pay for both for their own benefit, and in support an open indie web https://indieweb.org/business-model

[snarfed] - True. Would be nice to have a label or similar to let us know first. It's almost like the Griswold's finally making it to Wally World and it was closed for repairs 😄
