gruetzhaxe
do we regard netlify as indieweb?
#
[Murray]
yep, absolutely, lots of people use it here 🙂
gruetzhaxe and [qubyte] joined the channel

[qubyte]
I use it! I sort of maintain an nginx config file for it netlify goes sideways though. In theory I can set up my site pretty quickly. Things like build plugins and functions are using my own code, but it wouldn’t take much to adapt those with a little effort. I consider it a sort of shallow vendor lock-in.

Since the functions (which power webmention endpoints etc) are called with low frequency in my case, I’ve been considering moving those to somewhere else anyway.
#
Loqi
hey [qubyte], I don't mean to be a bother, but nginx, endpoints seems like a better conversation for #indieweb-dev
#
capjamesg
Loqi is right 😛
#
[qubyte]
Yeah, but I’m already done. It needs to preempt my nonsense.
#
capjamesg
Loqi isn't good at future prediction 😄
#
capjamesg
cophee[d] I _love_ the website you shared.
#
[qubyte]
gives Loqi a flux capacitor
#
Loqi
Thanks, [qubyte]!
#
gruetzhaxe

gruetzhaxe: I think the question was fine, and interesting to many who are just starting out getting their websites online :)
#
capjamesg
Yes, the question was well placed!
#
capjamesg
I use Netlify for some mini sites I run. I love the relative ease of getting a site set up compared to running a server.

Now I need to work out who runs the section about Upcoming IndieWebCamps, which is still featuring the March one in Brighton
#
capjamesg
sknebel?
#
capjamesg
Maybe...?
#
sknebel
thats manual :D
#
sknebel
only popups and HWCs are automated from events.indieweb.org
#
[tantek]
a bit #indieweb-meta but I updated the home page Upcoming IndieWebCamps and it looks stuck on Brighton due to caching. when I added a "?" to the URL it showed it correctly as Düsseldorf

Homebrew Website Club Europe/London is starting soon! Join us! https://events.indieweb.org/kMaK7Kj8AihU

HWC starts in seven minutes ^

#
capjamesg
Idea from HWC: 24 consecutive hours of IndieWeb events.
#
capjamesg
I could see it Telethon-style where we have scheduled events, like a front-end study hall hour, HWCs, etc., or we try to roll multiple HWCs into one day.

capjamesg: Re 24 hours, we tried something with IWC online to do a long slate of day
#
capjamesg
GWG The result?
#
GWG
Mixed, but moderately successful as long as we don't do it too often
#
capjamesg
Agreed.
#
capjamesg
We would relay between meetups — nobody should be striving to attend the whole session.
#
GWG
Online IWCs worked as long as it wasn't all the time. I think it's a good way to mix things
#
GWG
And we did stagger the times
#
GWG
Let me find the URL
