#
capjamesg[d] Is there a good website that provides minimal representations of quotes? GoodReads has so many good quotes but the UI has a lot going on.
#
capjamesg[d] Like, I only really want to share the quote part of https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/556030-imagination-is-more-important-than-knowledge-for-knowledge-is-limited, for example.

capjamesg[d] [edit] Like, I only really want to share the quote part of https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/556030-imagination-is-more-important-than-knowledge-for-knowledge-is-limited, for example.
#
capjamesg[d] I now have the quote on my website but I wondered if there were any minimal that already exist with quotes.
#
capjamesg[d] I like Wikiquote but it has lots of quotes on a single page.
#
[tantek] ^ capjamesg[d] I have run into this problem many time myself
#
[tantek] times*
#
[tantek] there are also a handful of random "quotes" sites out there that try to address this, however they all enshitiffied
#
capjamesg[d] Exactly!
#
capjamesg[d] Brainyquote (https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/albert_einstein_125368) comes up a lot.
#
[tantek] I think what has happened repeatedly a few times: 1. someone identifies this need, 2. someone decides to build a site of "atomic" quotes like this with one page per actual granular quote, 3. they put some simple ads on it to monetize and pay for domain+server, 4. they get tired of maintaining it and sell it to someone who likes the traffic + ad$, 5. that someone buries it with TONS of ads and surveillance tracking crap etc.
#
capjamesg[d] I want the page to have the quote, an option to cite the author with a link to another source, and that's really it 😄
#
capjamesg[d] Semantic markup, of course.
#
[tantek] brainyquote-- is js;dr
#
Loqi brainyquote has -1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] like completely BLANK
#
[tantek] not very brainy 😞
#
[tantek] where is Loqi
#
[tantek] gives Loqi a poke
#
Loqi eats the poke
#
Loqi [indienews/de] New post: "Open Web Conversations" https://notiz.blog/2025/02/20/open-web-conversations/
#
[tantek] I like to eat poke too. Glad we are on the same page Loqi.

capjamesg[d] I have https://jamesg.blog/quotes for listing quotes right now.
#
capjamesg[d] [edit] I have https://jamesg.blog/quotes for listing quotes right now.
#
[tantek] [pfefferle] make sure to HuffDuff your podcast with hashtag # indieweb so it shows up in the newsletter!
#
capjamesg[d] My solution may be to keep expanding this page when I see a quote, then link to this page.
#
[tantek] heh. have you considered 'id' attrs on each blockquote so you can link to specific quotes 😄
#
[tantek] ^ how the expansion begins
#
[tantek] what is a quote
#
Loqi “ A quotation is a type of response post that is primarily a subset of the contents of another post, and often has a citation of that other post https://indieweb.org/quote
#
[tantek] ^ but can also be standalone quotes

btrem Mark Downie -- what a great name for a blogger! :-)
#
standingdesk haha I hadn't thought of that
#
[tantek] that is a funny alias if it is
#
btrem Jumped out at me right away. At first, I thought it was a reference to the language, then realized it was his name.
#
btrem Oh, if that's an alias, that is *genius*.

capjamesg[d] I own @unroll.bsky.social. I just signed in for the first time in a year and every few hours people are trying to use the service even though it doesn't run. I never got around to deploying code. If anyone wants to take over the account, please let me know.
#
xandra.cc hey! would it be okay for me to share a personal project folks here might be interested in reading/contributing?
#
[Joe_Crawford] I suspect if you consider it more _personal_ than _indieweb_ then it would be a good candidate to add to the random or cafe channels. But if it's indiewebbish enough this might be the right place, particularly if it uses indieweb building blocks like webmentions.
