Loqi manual until it hurts is an IndieWeb development practice of resisting automating something until you have manually done it enough times to really understand it, and know that it is worth doing and automating https://indieweb.org/manual_til_it_hurts

capjamesg[d] I like this design pattern for an editor: https://ghost.org/changelog/tk-reminders/
# 
ryokagriffin [snarfed] that's correct for me personally - [tantek] for me the /now page is a list of links to things I'm consuming (media) or very general list of things I'm acting upon or doing - one liners - whereas posts are less like a diary and more for processes (documenting a fix for a technical issue for example) or thoughts (opinions on the state of education) or general 'stuff' (like photos of the aurora). There is overlap in some

# Loqi [indienews] New post: "Brainstorming a new indie web search engine" https://jamesg.blog/2024/06/05/indieweb-search-brainstorming/
# capjamesg[d] I do not necessarily want to start a search engine again, but I do see a path to having one that is drastically simpler than the one I made and thus easier to maintain. "searchable planet" may be a good way of thinking about it.

[KevinMarks] You're kinda describing technorati there, minus the ping server bit (the endpoint you notify when you have made a new post)

# afrodidact Hello. I just discovered this thing about 20 minutes ago. I would have loved to join the Europe/London event. I'm looking forward to joing another time though :)
# capjamesg[d] Welcome, afrodidact!
# capjamesg[d] Do you have a personal website, or are you looking to start one?
# afrodidact Hi capjames. I have a "personal portfolio" website but I'm looking to start a personal one. I have my domain registered but haven't deployed/written anything yet
# afrodidact I just clicked on your name thinking it would bring up a "pop up" of sorts, because I notice yours and several other names are in bold. That took me to your website which I just thought was so cool btw! I'm even more amped up now to provision my own little corner of the internet :)
# capjamesg[d] I'm excited to see what you make!
# afrodidact sorry I meant to say "professional portfolio", I made it to serve as a sort of resume and impress prospective employers
# afrodidact Thank you. I have wanted to do this for ages. Finding indieweb today though has sparked new excitement for me though, I didn't realise there was a vibrant and active community of likeminded folk like this
# capjamesg[d] There are so many people interested in personal websites now!

# afrodidact I'm excited for all the new people like myself interested in personal websites. I'm only just getting started but it already feels so freeing and invigorating
# afrodidact Thanks Joe! I'm looking forward to joining one soon :)

# GuestZero do you think it's really a contemporary movement – perhaps in the wake of the web 2.0 decay – or weren't people like us actually around all the time?

# ryokagriffin Welcome afrodidact, I'm fairly new to the community too and it's a great place to be. Look forward to seeing what you build 🙂
# GuestZero I'm looking forward as well, keeping an eye on the events page.
# ryokagriffin I think the people like us were the people that made sites back in the 90's and early 2000's. Though with the advent of social media a new generation of 'web gardeners' grew up with and got stuck to their myspace/facebook/instagram/etc and are possibly bouncing off those platforms hard, looking for something less centralised and more... *them*

# jimwins It's interesting to see this playing out in the artist world again with Cara.app. Is it the new Ello or the new Vero?
