cophee The professors really liked https://indieweb.guide !
#
cophee They said they'll show it to future classes as an exemplar, so hopefully we'll get more Sydney uni folks interested in the IndieWeb 😆

paperbritt wing_wingpang_com_[d]: This is a great idea, nice and friendly looking.
#
paperbritt The wiki is a great resource but something like this will definitely be a more comfortable intro for those who are putting together their first site.

#
cophee Would be awesome when Threads have support for viewing Fediverse content! Friends would be able to see Bridgy Fed posts from my site directly if that’s the case
#
cophee And then can slowly convince them to start their own websites 😼
#
cophee paperbritt[d]: I’m glad that it comes across this way! 😃 Hoping that more people can get started on their own sites
#
capjamesg[d] That is exciting!
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] Embrace, extend, extinguish.

#
capjamesg[d] [tantek] I think you may appreciate the design of https://amtrack.live/
#
capjamesg[d] This is wonderfully-made software.
#
[tantek] looool "Nearly every other Amtrak train tracker has become bloated with ads, overkill Javascript, and provides a poor experience on `Amtrak_WiFi`... and often even on a solid internet connection."
#
capjamesg[d] I want train-friendly websites.
#
[tantek] 100%
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d], I believe I have a (semi-ranty) blog post about this
#
[tantek] well maybe more ranty-ranty 🙈 https://tantek.com/2012/073/t4/js-ajax-only-tired-waiting-bloated-scripts-sxsw-wifi
#
capjamesg[d] Ranty indeed 😂
#
capjamesg[d] But it is a frustrating matter.
#
[tantek] need to post an update to that that mentions "train wifi" "Amtrak wifi" and "airplane wifi" explicitly, and give the example of amtrack.live
#
[tantek] capjamesg I believe I wrote that up while being super frustrated with the wifi at SXSW at the time

#
[qubyte] Heh, fun fact… Much of the build for my personal site was guided by terrible mobile connectivity on the Brighton main line. It’s very train friendly.
#
[qubyte] Or it was. Hopefully still is.
#
[tantek] capjamesg, there's a similar site for UK trains
#
[tantek] https://traintimes.org.uk/
#
capjamesg[d] I love that but the page is a bit too busy.
#
[tantek] indeed
#
[tantek] I wonder if there's a similar alternative to Deutschbahn
#
[tantek] also wondering if there's a catchy title to be had here for an updated blog post
#
capjamesg[d] I'm going to blog about this too!
#
capjamesg[d] "The Train WiFi Test"
#
[tantek] nice!
#
[tantek] this is what popped in my head: Wifi on Planes, Trains, and Autobuses: Why all websites should use real HTML links and forms
#
[tantek] go ahead and blog yours first capjamesg (because I know you will write it faster anyway 😂 ) and I'll be more than happy to link to it

#
[tantek] interesting that amtrak.live redirects to amtrack.live — appreciate the homonym / pun
#
[tantek] this is like a perfect length of blog post to read / consume and feel satisfied. amazing work
