casts a vote for a static site.
#
Moult
and if you know a bit of code, write your own static site generator. don't use someone elses. it's really, really easy to do a little bit of templating, and read from markdown or json or similar.
#
[qubyte]
That’s pretty much exactly what I do, so seconded.

Moult, what about IndieAuth, POSSE, PESOS, backfeed, etc?
#
Moult
Kolev: what about it?
#
Kolev
Moult, seems like those things cannot be done with just a static site generator.
#
Moult
Kolev: why not?
#
[qubyte]
I do it. 🤷
#
[snarfed]
they're harder, but still possible
#
[qubyte]
With the aide of things like build scripts and “serverless” functions, granted, but those are fairly common for static site hosts. I’ve been thinking of moving stuff that gets posted to just to a little raspberry pi or something since they’re so rarely called.
#
Loqi
hey Kolev [qubyte]: we try to keep jargon (site generator, static site generator, serverless) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
[qubyte]
Oops, sorry!
#
Kolev
Oh, I didn't know this was the base channel...
#
Moult

#
Moult
anybody here have a gemini capsule?
#
Moult
Kolev: reading your website, no cars eh? no kids either?
#
Kolev
Moult, I'm not opposed to having kids. I am opposed to cars.
#
Moult
Kolev: merely an observation that there's a correlation with car use and kids :)
#
Kolev
Moult, I think it's harmful to design our towns so that kids need to be shuttled around in cars.
#
Moult
Kolev: agreed, but alas that's reality right now
#
Kolev
Moult, pedestrian-first towns are beneficial for the whole family, not just single people.
#
Moult
Kolev: preaching to the choir mate. architect by training here.
#
Moult
Kolev: you might be interested in this article, i've been slowly getting around to updating it recently with more thoughts on "design that never occured" https://thinkmoult.com/edmondson-park-retail-residential-development-frasers-hdr.html

what is on-topic on this channel anyway
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "on-topic on this channel anyway" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "on-topic on this channel anyway is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
Moult
heh
#
Moult
on-topic on this channel anyway is EVERYTHING

how can you be strict about channel topics but also consider any message containing the word is as a bot command

What is what is?
#
Loqi
what is is how you can ask me to look to see if there’s documentation about a topic on the wiki, and if not, I’ll give you a URL to click to create a page on the wiki accordingly! https://indieweb.org/what_is

We're sensitive to keeping channels on topic because we have had people in the past feel discouraged about, for example, lots of technical talk in this channel (which is supposed to be about making things on your site, not coding).

"what is" has been used on the order of 1,000 times by community members this year alone.

It's something that a lot of us find helpful to introduce materials into discussions, check if we have a resource that could be helpful to others, and more.
#

Is anyone doing any writing challenges this December? I have heard a few people mention interest in doing them.
#
jeremycherfas
