glitzeor4444 thegoldenbagel[d]: Oh dear, I better figure out how to make my Excalidraw SVG images actually display properly then haha. They're all cropped funny
# [Sophia_wood] I'd love to figure out how to use Excalidraw better.
# glitzeor4444 Lol! Yeah, exactly 💯 I made myself a list and then moved things around by priority to try and focus — and then ended up spending too much time working on making it pretty instead lol
# glitzeor4444 Ooh [Sophia_wood] are you on the Excalidraw Discord? We have discussions / showcases there. Also Zsolt's YouTube Channel has loads of examples
# [Sophia_wood] I am not - I should check it out. My brain has a hard time with discord, so I am not the most consistent.
# [Sophia_wood] I really loved using it with a group at the recurse center and have wanted to better understand a self-hosting solution.
# [Sophia_wood] glitzeor4444 - thanks for the discord tip and youtube lead!
# glitzeor4444 I think with Excalidraw the best way to learn it is to just fiddle around, but Zsolt's YT is very helpful for inspo 🙂 and you're most welcome
# [social] Glitzeor444, Britt, and Bagel Obsidian Canvas was difficult to translate to the web until it was open sourced as JSON Canvas - https://obsidian.md/blog/json-canvas/

# glitzeor4444 ooooh I did not know this! [social]++ I must investigate... I don't use Canvas much (I like using Mermaid code for graphs), but I _like_ the idea of using it. Thanks!
# [Sophia_wood] I have been able to use my kinopio boards with obsidian because of this.
# [social] I was really hoping that TFTHacker’s Canvas Candy was going to open up people sharing what they were doing. TFTHacker was selling the plug-in and I liked it, but I had to create quite a few keystroke shortcuts to handle the extended Canvas capabilities. They have now turned it into an Open Source project - https://tfthacker.com/canvas-candy
# [social] They also recommend other Canvas extensions now, which are much easier to use.
# [social] I use a fair amount to work through ideas, the relationships between things, system mapping, and workflows.
# [social] When I worked through updating the backend of my blog and site I use Canvas to map out what I needed to do and relationships between things.

# thegoldenbagel Been writing a ton and got a headache now, I think I'll have enough time tomorrow to finish up enough to publish. Then from there we'll see where it goes! I have my custom URL leftover from squarespace so I'll need to set that up.
# [Sophia_wood] Sorry jumped away to go sit with otters
# [Sophia_wood] Yes - I love kinopio

paperbritt This is all amazing stuff. I've been out of the loop with obsidian for about 6 months due to a change in focus but was glad to see that I still regularly used it for notes even though I wasn't actively tinkering with it. Sign of having a decent system set up.

Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "captions" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "captions is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "transcripts" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "transcripts is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# thegoldenbagel Do I need to add myself to the indieweb site before I can post mine here? I'm at work so I can't set it up quite yet 😭

# thegoldenbagel Ok! Only put like 1 day of work into it and lots of stuff I want to add/change, but here's my little corner of the Internet. Garden.tylercall.photography
# thegoldenbagel Oops it didn't link it https://garden.tylercall.photography/Home+Page
# thegoldenbagel Thank you!! I really liked paperbritt[d] 's idea for the canvas photo gallery so that's on my roadmap. I have a mini PC laying around not doing much so I think I'll use that as a webserver.
# thegoldenbagel This is what I was thinking, was this what you had in mind as well Britt? (It would be a bit more spread out but it's compacted just to fit in the screenshot 😂)

# paperbritt Yeah that kind of idea, clusters of images that belong or influence each other.

[artlung] This link to this photo from the Philadelphia meetup on the 3rd showed up during Wednesday's Eastern HWC. It's great. https://zephnet.biz/posts/phillyhwc1recap/ (my request is for someone who can create an indienews post of a 3rd party so it shows up well please do that!) (and yes, Zephyr knows comments and likes are not functional yet on that page)

# [morganm] I have a website Ive shared once before but Ive updated this a little. https://whatcompublichospital.org/ . This is a local independent website made by myself and a few others. Ive used skills Ive gained at IWC and recently this website was covered positively in a newspaper and is actually picking up some steam in my little northwest corner of the usa.
# glitzeor4444 thegoldenbagel[d]: Yay great stuff!
# glitzeor4444 [morganm] ohhh nice! It's like activism via a website
# skunkmonk very cool [morganm]
