Such a moving manifesto. Makes my late night tinkerings in my little corner of the web feel so heroic.

ugh that small default type size is horrible to try to read
#
[tantek]
Reader mode made it much easier to read
#
[tantek]
good content ho

Pro move: turn on reader move by default for every website.
#
[Al_Abut]
Backup pro move for sites without reader mode: I’ll just hammer on the thing in web inspector until it’s legible.

Speaking of reading, I have the indieweb carnival to thank for turning me on to the high quality free ebooks at http://standardebooks.org. Downloading some classic Jules Verne fiction and also the autobiography of my favorite philosopher during college, John Stuart Mill. Such a goldmine.

[tantek] - Does a simple mp4 of ASCII art count?
#
gRegor
Not my personal site, but I used a generator to put some on my tilde site years ago because I didn't know what else to do at the time. http://tilde.club/~gRegorLove/
#
gRegor
I should at least link to my site though :)
#
to2ds
Loqi agrees :D

Loqi is a different kind of persuasive technology.
#
to2ds
What is persuasive technology?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "persuasive technology" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "persuasive technology is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor
Loqi should set up that page
#
to2ds
Doesn't Loqi need to be persuaded to do that? :D

I like the /ideas page concept
#
[aciccarello]
Apparently the person credited with the concept doesn't have one??
#
[aciccarello]
A /now page feels like too much work to update to me. I'd want to build something dynamic that pulls from a few sources if I were to create one.

[tantek]
fascinating capjamesg, we have some pages for those
#
[tantek]
what is about page
#
Loqi
"About" is a commonly occurring page or section on a site that describes who is behind the site and a summary or the purpose of the site https://indieweb.org/about_page
#
[tantek]
what is now
#
Loqi
A now page is a page that tells you what a person is focused on at this point in their life https://indieweb.org/Now
#
[tantek]
what is ideas
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "ideas" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "ideas is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
capjamesg, I added a section for this: https://indieweb.org/well-known#emergent_pages
#
[tantek]
aciccarello, want to stub an /ideas page starting with a brief dfn and [snarfed]'s IndieWeb Example?
#
bacardi55[m]
I feel /now is too "high maintenance" for me, but I like /uses pages instead. Didn't know about /ideas pages though, but I like it so I may add one "soon-ish" (should be as easy as exporting and cleaning my actual todolist, but never is that easy)

Found a new toy to mess with!
#
_tommys
Wow! How’s it done starrwulfe[d] ?
#
starrwulfe
From what I can tell, this guy wrote a whole suite of tools to make mini sites out of the native Apple apps. I'm looking for his github now.
#
starrwulfe
Basically you make a public folder in your Notes.app and add the server as a view-only collaborator.
#
_tommys
Wow, that’s so simple but I’d never considered it

starrwulfe
It gets better:

nsmsn[d] I love the asterism, too (https://nicksimson.com/notes/asterism/).
#
Loqi
[preview] [Nick Simson] asterism Bookmarked Asterism (typography) – Wikipedia. I always forget that this little symbol is called an asterism: ⁂ It reminds me of the three stars in Tennessee’s flag (I lived in that state for more than a decade). Its usage as a dinku...
#
[tantek]
wow the /daily one is like a stack of GitHub activity grids!
#
[tantek]
does that kind of public accountability work?!?
#
nsmsn
Thanks for following capjamesg[d] ! I’ve had Unicode, dingbats and other typographic symbols on the brain today. I also wanted to use “dinkus” correctly in a sentence.
#
capjamesg
I am impressed by your typography series!
#
capjamesg
What are your plans for the last few days of the month? 😄
#
nsmsn
It’s going to be a surprise each day. Then I’m taking a break in March
#
capjamesg
That is a well-deserved break.
#
capjamesg
Writing for 26 days consecutively is a huge achievement!

I was impressed you tackled this in December last year! I picked the shortest month LOL

I only did 25 days, though 😄

[Al_Abut] FYI, only people in Slack can see what messages you're replying to since that's a slack-only feature
#
[aciccarello]
for others, those were messages about dev.phanpy.social/#/catchup and /now page updates

Ah, thx
#
[Al_Abut]
so what’s the cross-platform or IRC-friendly to reference an earlier message like that?
#
[Al_Abut]
(If there is one)
#
[aciccarello]
I usually write something like "RE: [topic]... [comment]" but that's just me.
