I'm still getting a "Could not find a syndication or category link for this entry to news.indieweb.org." error when I try to submit https://www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artists-notebook/posts/nsfw-on-the-indieweb to IndieNews, but the u-syndication link to IndiwNews is definitely there
#
lazcorp
Is this a bug in my HTML or a bug in the IndieNews submission form?
#
lazcorp
Ah well, I've logged an issue on Github

Does anyone here have sidenotes on their blog posts?

I wish. But too much tooling to be responsive, at least for now.

[tantek] I think Tracy uses them.

Well that's enough to stub a new page for sidenotes.

[tantek] Richard Rutter also does - e.g. https://clagnut.com/blog/2395
#
[tantek]
Those examples (and desire!) plus the links I added to /footnote See Also would work for a /sidenote page
#
[tantek]
lazcorp yes that same link was shared earlier in #indieweb-dev which started this discussion :)
#
lazcorp
[tantek] ah! I knew I'd seen it mentioned recently (and it was in my browser history) but I couldn't remember where I saw it

Molly White has sidenotes on citation needed too
#
[KevinMarks]
And her annotate project supports them https://github.com/molly/annotate

are sidenotes and /marginalia the same thing, except sidenotes are from the author and marginalia are from other people?
lazcorp joined the channel
#
lazcorp
[snarfed] there are two categories of marginalia: illustrations intended to accompany the text and later annotations by owners and readers
#
lazcorp
(historically speaking, that is)
#
lazcorp
The wiki treats sidenotes as "by the author of the main piece" and marginalia as later annotations/responses by others, which seems a good enough definition

I'm curious if there is a good guide for learning web dev basics with a hyperfocus on correct/clean/modern code? I'm new to web markup and would like to avoid things like unnecessary div tags in my code if html5 semantic markup is preferred. The only thing I'm really learning about this is that there are a dozen different ways to generate the same

looking website but the code often looks drastically different

[snarfed] sidenotes are primarily about the semantic, they are aSIDE from the main content. marginalia are primarily about the presentation, they are about things you put in the margins
#
[tantek]
xgpt, you're looking for the MDN Curriculum: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/curriculum/
#
[snarfed]
[tantek] hmm! I may not fully understand you, but that definition of marginalia doesn't seem to match "marginalia are responses to parts of a post" on https://indieweb.org/marginalia
#
[snarfed]
but maybe I just don't understand. (which is ok!)
#
[tantek]
yeah I was answering you in the "general" sense, rather than the "indieweb-specific context" sense
#
[tantek]
and yeah that dfn needs to be updated to be user-centric and protocol-free
#
[tantek]
marginalia << to do: update dfn to be user-centric, capturing both general meaning of marginalia and what it means to users of the indieweb, and move anything/everything protocol related to dev-specific How To sections
#
Loqi
hey [tantek]: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (protocol), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
Loqi
ok, I added "to do: update dfn to be user-centric, capturing both general meaning of marginalia and what it means to users of the indieweb, and move anything/everything protocol related to dev-specific How To sections" to the "See Also" section of /marginalia https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=96715&oldid=94769

ok on an on topic thing then, carrying on from #indieweb-random

capjamesg[d], I wanted to blog about our conversation about how I want every post to have a 'suggest edit' button, giving the example of [KevinMarks]'s live tooting from IWC PDX that I asked him to correct right there and he was able to edit it, but then I realized I should do an IWC PDX wrap-up post first, but then I realized the IWC PDX related wiki pages needed gardening/updating, but then I realized the IWC PDX Demos sessions needed to be

archived to the wiki...

You made something though!
#
capjamesg[d]
Whether or not it was the thing you wanted to make at that moment, you still made something!
#
[tantek]
lol several things, I got very close to the thing I originally wanted to make, but then was too braintired to think/write creatively to do it!
