# [tantek]2 excellent!
# [tantek]2 what is getting started?
# 
Loqi 🎉 Get started on the indieweb by connecting with the IndieWeb community, getting a personal domain, a place for your content, and setting up your home page and other IndieWeb essentials https://indieweb.org/Getting_started
# [tantek]2 lbfaco ^ take a look and let us know how we can help!
# lbfaco thank you! I've actually set up a github page
# lbfaco but its pretty much in a "Hello world!" stage atm
# lbfaco lol
# lbfaco i want to move my substack content there

# lbfaco and my plan is to go through mozilla developers network
# lbfaco and increment the website as I learn new stuff
# lbfaco i've went through the css and html part of it a couple of years ago when i had more time, but it kinda faded as i didn't keep working on it
# lbfaco now i have some time on my hands again and was thinking about giving it a try again
# lbfaco does it sound like a good way to get started?

# [tantek]2 yes! that sounds quite reasonable! I'd say you're ready to start figuring out a personal domain name to use to serve your static github page!

Kupietz I think if you’re just starting to get your feet wet in HTML and CSS, some of the things people that get discussed there might be a bit advanced at first, because it’s people of all skill levels, including a couple of pretty experienced folks. But it’s all very friendly, helpful people and can be a great resource.
# [tantek]2 FrESH++ events are great! Highly recommended and very well run by [Joe_Crawford]++

# [tantek]2 I am seriously overthinking coffee serving venue attributes, even when I tried to come up with a "short list" of flattened attributes that are "interesting/important" to me 😂 https://indieweb.org/User:Tantek.com/venue-category-emojis#coffee_venues_flattened_common_attributes — would love your reactions / insights / feedback capjamesg[d], [Joe_Crawford], gRegor and any other dedicated cafe-goers
# [tantek]2 (this is all for figuring out how to best cluster, list, display coffee serving venues and recommended lists thereof on my personal site, obv)
# [tantek]2 I will eventually crack the code of a good coffee venue taxonomy

# [tantek]2 [snarfed] they're definitely a trap
# [tantek]2 it helps to have (1) a real world source of examples you are categorizing; (2) a strategy for evolving your taxonomy based on new real world information
# [tantek]2 that way you can avoid (1) the trap of going super-academic into theoreticals like volcanoes with fax machines (schema-org insanity); (2) being trapped inside a brittle taxonomy, especially hierarchical, that breaks when one or more new real world things show up that don't fit into it, or worse, fit into multiple categories in a "strict" taxonomy
# [tantek]2 [snarfed] your choice of taxonomy here is quite interesting 🙂 https://snarfed.org/lists
