#
[tantek] I know we have /colophon for tools and such for a site in general, however does anyone publish their methods of creating a specific post? Like beyond the "posting tool" used
#
[tantek] E.g. my most recent post I wrote almost entirely in iOS Notes app as plain text, somewhat auto-structured as I was typing it (lists, list items).

#
[tantek] Then when it felt "content done", I copied it into BBEdit, marked up heading, paragraphs, lists, list items, hyperlinked proper nouns, went back and added section headings with IDs. Did a web search for related prior work and cited a few. Published. After publication went back and added IDs for individual Should items and local fraglinks for mentions of specific shoulds.

[tantek] Wondering if that sort of "how I wrote this" background is interesting or useful per post
#
[tantek] Like an extension of the "where was I when I wrote this" sort of meta information

cassidyyates Hey everyone! I stumbled across IndieWeb on Mastodon, and I thought I'd check it out. It very much resonated with me, I have recently built my own personal site from scratch to host my stories in order to take control and have a an alternative way to connect with my audience (NSFW, so no link). Have a beautiful Sunday 👋

capjamesg[d] What is everyone doing with their websites today?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "everyone doing with their websites today" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "everyone doing with their websites today is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jonnybarnes maybe if we switched Loqi to be powered by AI it wouldn’t misinterpereted questions /s
#
nsmsn I’m thinking of adding something like “the loved list” to my website this week. https://ankursethi.in/the-loved-list/
#
nsmsn I have a directory /likes for all my IndieWeb “likes”, but I’ve been thinking of a page called “loves” for my absolute favorite things.

to2ds LoqiGPT?
rvalue joined the channel
#
[tantek] Loqi is so much less annoying than ChatGPT
#
[tantek] Also I like that it's fairly predictable with the what is questions
#
to2ds Indeed.
#
to2ds Plus Loqi doesn't require the energy of a small city to do its job.
#
[tantek] Very true
#
to2ds As for my website, I'm starting to curate and/or aggregate related micro posts into longer form posts.
#
to2ds It's similar to tagging but allows for additional commentary when applicable.

#
[jeremycherfas] I’m closing in on a design that pleases me before adding microformats.
#
[tantek] sounds like the right order
#
nsmsn I went ahead and added /loves to my website this afternoon: https://nicks.im/loves/

nsmsn [edit] I went ahead and added /loves to my website this afternoon: https://nicks.im/loves/

timeissuspect Does anyone want to join in some pre UK election fun?

capjamesg[d] A kind reminder that the Discord is not a forum to facilitate political discussions. We try our best to promote inclusivity, and it is especially difficult to do so when political topics come up. Rather, the chat is a place for the community to do what it does best: helping answer questions about websites and providing a forum for that, discussing all things web, and discussing what is going on in the community.
