https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/25/polyfillio_china_crisis/ - probably aren't many on indieweb using polyfill.io, but if you are one of them, stop using it now

cute idea for a webring from #indieweb-stream https://gusbus.space/smallweb-subway/

Agreed. I really like the presentation and that it allows multiple types. The topology could get complicated.

pmlnr see yesterday's https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/2024-06-25#t1719349301590500 (since this is more relevant for developers maintaining code than useres)

[preview] [jimwins] Looks like the company that acquired polyfill.io last year has pivoted to using it to serve up malware. https://sansec.io/research/polyfill-supply-chain-attack

A friend of mine is running for school board office in his city and asked me for a recommendation for a website builder that "preferably is free" He only really needs the website until the election in November.

I tried not to overwhelm him, but I showed him https://neocities.org, https://mmm.page, and https://wordpress.com.

I'm happy to move this discussion to another channel, but he's definitely new to this www thing.

Electoral websites for candidates are some examples where websites definitely punch above their weight. Ive made several over the years for campaigns and people and it really does correlate strongly with perceptions of professionalism I have found
#
[morganm]
Its often relative to the position 🙂
#
[morganm]
I think like the web in general the effort that is put into those websites is reflective of a willingness to speak to a large audience, people you may not have interacted with before
#
[morganm]
Or vice versa, it might just be to get the attention of 200 people

Hi all, just joined the server after attending tonight's Homebrew London meeting. Feeling energised by being part of this community.
#
timeissuspect
My blog is at: https://thoughts.uncountable.uk/ and I keep a diary at https://diary.uncountable.uk/
#
timeissuspect
I have just launched a new project called https://artocalypse.org/ which is my attempt to build an aggregation platform for indieweb artists

Welcome, uncountable[d]!
#
capjamesg[d]
It was great getting to know about your project!
#
timeissuspect
capjamesg[d]: Thanks James, I really enoyed the call, and like you opened a ton of tabs. It's just refreshing to be able to "talk tech" with others. I don't really get that opportunity normally
#
capjamesg[d]
I like your diary website!

A diary is an interesting exercise because you have to keep posting! (although I dont make entries for every day). I haven't updated yesterday and today yet, and I don't like to go more than three days otherwise it's too overwhelming

#
[morganm]
I just gave your website a quick look over, it is very polished and provided some food for thought about your design choices and so on
#
nsmsn
Nice meeting you, uncountable[d] . Hope to see you around the web!
#
[morganm]
I find it interesting always the topics people curate, and one on personal finance seems like a good one, it sends potential signals to a business or work related person that you are at the very least not totally foolish and investing in baseball cards only uncountable++
#
[morganm]
I have two main personal websites at the moment and a third project website:
#
[morganm]
According to Netlify, these little websites only get about 3GB of monthly traffic. Mainly the blog .org , has some images and stuff that increases it a bit. I use no analytics except one web performance tracker on http://morganwebdev.com for speedcurve. Im still learning about what to use and what to notify people of, but in general I roll with no analytics of any kind
#
[morganm]
Ive probably over thought a lot over the years what I am trying to accomplish with my web presence. I have some 50 websites in my freemium tier Netlify account, and I have made lots of small demos of things
#
[tantek]
welcome timeissuspect++
#
Loqi
timeissuspect has 1 karma over the last year
#
[morganm]
I had one more personal website to share. This one is about where I live. Its very simple 🙂 https://bellingham.netlify.app/ .
#
[morganm]
Ive found this one particularly useful at building relationships in remote work environments. After I share it to some folks they are like “thats the guy with the view of the Pacific ocean” and it seems much more smooth
#
[morganm]
I hope these are ok to share, as they are my own websites, I was inspired by timeissuspects excellent curated resources

Experiments with a different site layout:
ttybitnik joined the channel
#
[tantek]
do we have a name (or at least consistent structure) for the style of posts that are two columns where two things are being compared and contrasted in a relatively plain / simple way? (I'll look for an example)
beanbrain joined the channel
#
aaronpk
is that a style of post? I've seen that inline in blog posts but not sure about standalone
#
capjamesg[d]
I would love to see an example!

[tantek]
it's definitely a thing on Twitter
#
[tantek]
not the same, but there are other tweet/note variants such as handshake posts
#
[tantek]
ah, might be able to find those on http://micro.blog
#
[Joe_Crawford]
_Tired/Wired_ is what I think of first.
#
[tantek]
aww, no https://micro.blog/discover/handshake for 🤝 posts — feature request [manton]!

I'm just not sure taking down some websites is going to fix that $14 billion in debt.

Seems like Paramount is missing some obvious cost savings in not having three CEOs.

what is a handshake
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "handshake" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "handshake is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
handshake is a type of [[post]], typically a short [[note]], that has some text, then a handshake emoji (🤝), and some more text, indicating two things or parties who are different, yet seemingly agree or collaborate on something in common.
#
[tantek]
handshake << {{emojicon|🤝}}
#
Loqi
ok, I added "{{emojicon|🤝}}" to a brand new "See Also" section of /handshake https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=95953&oldid=95952
#
[tantek]
handshake << Silo example: [[Twitter]] https://twitter.com/yimbyaction/status/1795490717323952279 <blockquote>Climate advocacy 🤝 Pro-housing advcacy</blockquote> by yimbyaction 2024-05-28

#
[tantek]
ok pretty sure I've posted a handshake post
#
[tantek]
but since web search sucks, I'm gonna have to use Twitter search to search my POSSE tweets (another POSSE use-case, Twitter search actually works, while Bing DDG Google all suck for personal site search)
#

handshake << IndieWeb Example: {{t}} has been posting handshake posts since 2022-12-02. Example: * https://tantek.com/2022/336/t1/indieweb-fediverse
