# [aciccarello] I just found out that http://archive.org has a cool sitemap circular graphic which shows your page structure
# 
aaronpk https://media.aaronpk.com/2024/11/12165959-7006.png my date based path URL hierarchy really shows here
# [aciccarello] Yeah, you can go back in time and see how the breakdown of the site changed
# 
[Joe_Crawford] https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/artlung.com definitely shows how hugemangous my site is.
# 
jimw very pretty.. https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/trainedmonkey.com
# [Joe_Crawford] the changes year to year are intriguing. it seems like there
# [Joe_Crawford] are some things that didn't get spidered which give an incorrect view of the site but even that is maybe telling. maybe of server availability or maybe years I screwed up code

capjamesg[d] I love this way of presenting step-by-step instructions: https://www.gov.uk/learn-to-drive-a-car
# 
[tantek] capjamesg[d] that's a good citation for The Guardian, add it to /silo-quits !
# capjamesg[d] What is silo quit?
# 
Loqi silo quits are public statements by individuals announcing they have quit posting on or using various silos with no intention to return. Sometimes people take a temporary break, AKA "social media break" or soft quit https://indieweb.org/silo-quit
# capjamesg[d] Can someone tell me if https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:p2cp5gopk7mgjegy6wadk3ep/feed/swifties.social shows up empty when you are logged in?

# capjamesg[d] There is a lot of interesting stuff in that Night Water article.
# capjamesg[d] > But a community only needs a few technically-minded people to come up with creative uses for these features, and then it pays off for everybody. It’s immediately obvious to Swifties why you’d want a swifties.social handle or why you’d want to use the eras labeler. It just goes to show that if you build these flexible tools, people will use them in unexpected ways to build and find a community.

# Loqi A blog carnival was an early form of independent, personally curated content aggregation, often hosted by different people in rotation, in which the host would write a post linking to any posts submitted on the chosen topic https://indieweb.org/Carnival

# capjamesg[d] I'd love some feedback on the text size on my website: https://jamesg.blog/2024/11/13/organising-content-by-theme/. Is the text size too big / small / just right?

# [Joe_Crawford] it's nice. though on my larger monitor I zoom it a bit but I do that for most sites on that monitor. It scales nicely.
# capjamesg[d] That was my thought too.
# capjamesg[d] I often end up zooming websites.
# capjamesg[d] I thought about applying a `font-size: 1.1em;` rule to the html tag, which would step everything up a bit.
# [Joe_Crawford] User choice is so powerful. In one FrESH I shared the utopia dot fyi site -- https://utopia.fyi/blog/designing-with-fluid-type-scales -- which uses calc as a base size and is interesting. Though there are schools of thought that setting a base font is antithetical to user choice. For me as a practical matter if you set it larger that seems unobjectionable. Setting it smaller seems objectionable though, to me. All these matters of opinion.
# capjamesg[d] I keep my h1 sizes roughly the same as my h2 sizes...
# capjamesg[d] I didn't want the h1 to get too overwhelming above the fold.
# capjamesg[d] But maybe I should revisit that.

[KevinMarks] Jeff Veen: I still feel like literally anybody with an idea can start hacking on the web or making apps or things like that. That’s all still there. I think the nucleus of what we started back then still exists on the web, and it still makes me really, really happy. https://www.wired.com/story/we-were-wrong-oral-history-hotwired/

# capjamesg[d] Thank you to everyone who joined HWC this evening! I hope everyone had a great time!
# capjamesg[d] paotsaq Yeah. I wonder if more people zooming in is a hint that the text could be bigger.
# capjamesg[d] [KevinMarks]++
# capjamesg[d] Today's HWC was a testament to the joy websites can bring.
