awkwardducky Is it okay to recommend this project to followers on social media or could more attention be undesirable?
alfiee joined the channel
#
[Joe_Crawford] Attention can always have undesirable effects, but sharing the http://indieweb.org site or #indieweb Hashtag are fine. Any organization would prefer that you not misrepresent what that organization does or stands for. Many folks follow the hashtag for example in multiple venues.

mariteaux i dunno if you can ping people, i was drinking last night and uh wasn't good at replying to stuff
#
mariteaux it was on r/neocities i saw mention of this chat
#
mariteaux and i have a hard time finding places to talk making websites with people
#
mariteaux i don't actually use neocities anymore, i have my own hosting, but that's the closest i've come to people who align with my interests (closest being relative)
#
[Jo] welcome martieaux!

khrome Heya everyone! I respect this movement and pine for the old days of the web like everyone here… I am on my own journey though, which is similar, but aligned… I’m writing browser and server compatible (uncompiled) JS. I’ve now been doing this for 2y and have a bunch of foundational libraries, a testing lib (mocha based) and other tooling. Sometimes, It feels like I’m the only person on earth building this way. Anyone seen
#
khrome anything else similar in the wild?
barnaby, plantroon, alfiee, btrem and mariteaux joined the channel
#
mariteaux i don't really pine for the old days of the web
#
mariteaux i just think making websites is cool
#
mariteaux it's always been something that makes sense to me and has a lot of utility
#
aaronpk there's so much more you can do now on the web compared to the old days, i would definitely like to stay here in the future!
#
mariteaux i do both honestly, i have a couple versions of my site, one for modern devices, and two for retro pcs hooked up to the internet (like mine are)
#
aaronpk ha awesome
#
mariteaux i find that neat, it's just not a nostalgic thing particularly for me
#
mariteaux i just like supporting old computers as much as new ones
#
mariteaux but i have been relearning some of the newer web technologies like flex and grid and the more advanced css selectors you can do now and it is pretty mind-blowing
#
mariteaux like "oh i just let the browser handle that now"
gRegor and bret joined the channel

btrem I don't pine for the old days of the web. But I do pine for the days of usenet, in particular the ciwa* groups.
#
btrem Those groups, and also rec.music.reggae, a wonderful resource for me in a former life as a weekly radio program host.

[schmarty] new highly-anticipated reader app is out for iOS! native-app-only it seems. i probably won't try it out soon, but curious if other folks do and what they learn from it! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tapestry-by-iconfactory/id6448078074

bloot Sometimes I have an urge for an “everything app”, but mostly I just enjoy pottering around and seeing what the different apps/rooms in the party have to offer!
#
Loqi [indienews] New post: "I made an IndieWeb postcard" https://dead.garden/blog/i-made-an-indieweb-postcard.html
#
bloot funny, I saw a bandcamp daily feed in the tapestry App Store pics. But for me, it’s nice to have a separate app for music so you can listen while you are doing other stuff. An “everything app” wouldn’t be good for concentrated listening for me, anyway
#
bloot Oh, that’s beautiful Loqi
#
carrvo Your "everything app" is your OS! Like, really, it provides plugins (in the form of apps) and gives you an interface to navigate between the features.
#
carrvo Maybe it could be more "pluggable" so that you can have a smoother transition. Maybe it could have more defaults. Maybe it could have more customization.
#
carrvo But I always feel like apps that have "apps" inside of them or try to be multiple apps in one, are trying to redo the OS.
