Oh, I received my first Webmention, which appears to be a "like" on a mastodon post via bridgy. Least I know my endpoint works now.

capjamesg
For everyone on FrESH, here is a screenshot of the page I'm building:
#
autumnlilybug

#
autumnlilybug
i love the hue you chose for the background
#
capjamesg
Oh thanks!

#
capjamesg
Thank you!
#
capjamesg
Do you have a website online?
#
autumnlilybug
I do! Wasn't sure if it was chill to just share the link here, but since that seems to be fine my url is https://seaglade.dev

capjamesg
Yeah we love sharing websites here!
#
capjamesg
Oooh I love the hover styles on the page that lists your blog posts.
#
capjamesg
Super cool!
#
autumnlilybug
thanks ^-^ I spent a while tinkering with the exact colors and fade times and I think what I've got there is minimally janky lol

Currently working on adding notes and likes/follows/reposts, because my medium-term goal right now is to be able to interact with bluesky and the fediverse (and tumblr, but that's maybe a pipedream) entirely from my own site without too much friction.
#
autumnlilybug
and I'm still debating whether Segoe UI is the typeface I want to stick with
#
capjamesg
Choosing a typeface is tricky!
#
capjamesg
I use a sans-serif typeface called Standard.
#
autumnlilybug
I saw in your design writeup!
#
autumnlilybug
It looks great!
#
autumnlilybug
Out of curiosity, do you author your posts in HTML or in something else with some software in between converting them into HTML?
cotsuka and unl0ckd_ joined the channel
#
capjamesg
I write my posts in markdown and use a static site generator to make the HTML.
#
autumnlilybug
Oh, so roughly what I do too! Nice.
#
capjamesg
Yeah! I have been using a static generator for several years now.
#
Loqi
hey capjamesg, that's a lot of dev jargon! site generator, static site generator, static generator... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
autumnlilybug
Still getting a sense of what technologies are popular on the indieweb
#
autumnlilybug
Loqi: oops-
#
glitzeor4444
In my Digital Garden site, I do it in Markdown and it converts to HTML via SSG, like James.
#
glitzeor4444
For my 'main' site, I use Wordpress ๐Ÿ˜‚
#
IWDiscord
<gโ€‹litzeor4444>
#
capjamesg
Yeah, we can use #indieweb-dev to chat about the tech details behind a website ๐Ÿ˜„
#
capjamesg
Loqi is always right ๐Ÿ˜‚
#
glitzeor4444
But in my blog posts, I type in Markdown. And Gutenberg blocks for the pages.

Hi everyone! I'm so proud of this. It's the first static html page I've made completely from scratch. ๐Ÿ™‚ It's my now page https://crystaltouchton.com/now/
#
rgbivvv
Cooool
#
rgbivvv
I gotta make a now page
#
cupparex
what is a now page?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "now page" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "now page is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
cupparex
What is now
#
Loqi
A now page is a page on a personal website that tells you what a person is focused on at the current time, day, or very recently https://indieweb.org/now
#
[artlung]2
cโ€‹upparex++ nice
#
cupparex
[artlung]2: thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

What is a map
#
Loqi
๐Ÿ—บ Maps are representations of the real world that are often used to display the location of a post, especially for checkins, and sometimes an aspect of archive pages, showing locations (or animating travel) during the month or other time period https://indieweb.org/map
#
cupparex
rgbivvv: you totally should!

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