gRegor, how/where you publish your beverage preferences on your personal site is on topic 😆
#
Kolev
[tantek], post it to /coffee/?
#
[tantek]
I mean that would work! I'd drop the trailing slash myself, like http://enwp.org/coffee
#
[tantek]
Or /drink for beverages in general. Although using /drinks has a nice subject verb to it

The OSM mess of a coffee venue taxonomy gave me an idea though. first document the various amenities of coffee-serving venues and see if clusters emerge
#
[tantek]
I think I may have started a project like this pre-pandemic...
#
Loqi
ok, I added "https://tantek.com/w/sfcafes" to the "See Also" section of /coffee https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=98973&oldid=98972

Morning all, introduction post incoming. I'm a late 40's white male from the UK who works as a WordPress developer in a marketing agency by day. Father of two children who are becoming internet curious and has inspired me to try and make some good of the content we consume, which in a round about way led me here.

Welcome 👋
#
capjamesg[d]
Do you have a personal website?
#
funkylarma
Yes, in a fashion. I started a WordPress site many many years ago. More recently I have managed to find most of the content and currently putting it back out as static site with 11ty

I love how it separates articles with date headings, capjamesg[d], https://vore.website/ is quite similar, but it doesn't do that :)
#
hedy
I personally prefer to read feeds within the interface (or locally) though

capjamesg[d]: is it a feed reader?
#
capjamesg[d]
[tantek] Added!
#
Moult
sweet, we need more feed readers and to bring back rss
#
Moult
i use newsboat
#
Moult
it would be nice to swap rss lists, i'd love to visit someone's personal site, see that we like the same stuff, then download their rss list
#
Loqi
hey Moult, we try to keep jargon (RSS) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
[lazcorp]
One thing I meant to bring up on Homebrew Website Club Europe/London tonight, but forgot to, was my idea of themed "Feed Starter Packs" (adapted from Bluesky's Starter Packs) to encourage people to get a Feed Reader and have a pre-selected bunch of feeds covering a specific theme to start them off. I blogged about it at https://www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artists-notebook/posts/the-british-weird-rss-starter-pack
#
[lazcorp]
I wanted to make the instructions on how to get a Feed Reader and import the starter pack as simple and friendly as possible, to prevent people being put off by too much jargon
#
[lazcorp]
I think it would be great to have a website with similar simple instructions for getting a Feed Reader, and then a selection of Starter Packs covering different subjects to help people get set up with a feed reader and be immediately following blogs/sites that relate to their interests
#
[lazcorp]
(I was writing all the above in a way that would not have Loqi pop up and tell me to move it to #indieweb-dev - that's the jargon-free nature of the instructions we need)

Is chat broken?
#
Kolev
Is it true that feeds are now embedded directly into IndieWeb sites now? No more double-posting a feed?
#
Kupietz
Ok, seems like it works from Chrome. I can't get in by Firefox, Slack, or Discord.
#
Kupietz
And even in chrome, everthing I type, it say "connecting... connecting to the chat room..." I don't believe it's ever done that for me before
#
Kupietz
Annnnnnyways... the reason I came to chat... Hey all... every time I go to monocle.p3k.io to add a new site to the reader, I can't find the link to add a new site to a channel. Anyone know how I do that?
#
Kolev
kupietz, welcome! I don't know anything about Monocle but hopefully others do!
#
Kupietz
Never mind, I found it. You have to sign into Aperture to add a feed to Monocle. That's rather unintuitive. I'll open an issue.
#
Kolev
Nice!
