[morgan] @burgeonlab so glad you posted this, and that I loved also getting a mention in the links 😄 ! 👏

#
burgeonlab Woah, I was trying to apply the right mf2 markup and testing webmentions with `curl` using the instructions on https://news.indieweb.org/en/submit. I didn't know Loqi will push the post here... does that mean if I decide to setup automatic sending of webmention in my CI pipeline, this channel will be spammed with my already existing indieweb posts? 😱
#
[morgan] Good to investigate, but your post and website is honestly so good no one is too concerned aha the notifications are a bit wild around the place
#
burgeonlab [morgan] Thanks for checking it out! You always share about interesting projects you have going on. ;)
#
[morgan] Ive started a new project! its about CSS animations. I am speaking at a virtual meetup later in the month
#
Loqi friendly reminder burgeonlab, [morgan], that's a lot of dev jargon! CI , markup, mf2, CSS... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
burgeonlab sorry, thanks for the reminder Loqi++
#
Loqi Loqi has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (15 in all channels)
#
[morgan] Fair call yes- but in spirit, I am doing stuff on my personal site, and documenting it! and having a good adventure
#
burgeonlab I love reading how others work on their personal site. Looking forward to it [Morgan]!

#
tgagor Hi
#
tgagor I still struggle with few things, I guess #indieweb-dev is best place to try my luck with tech questions, right?
#
tgagor I've been thinking for a while to try this "IndieWeb thingie" on [my site](https://gagor.pro/) and I did, yesterday and wanted to say "Hello!"
#
Loqi [indienews] New post: "A Practical guide to building a parser in Go" https://gagor.pro/2026/01/a-practical-guide-to-building-a-parser-in-go/
#
burgeonlab Hi tgagor, welcome! I'm relatively new to this "IndieWeb thingy" too and yeah, #indieweb-dev is the channel for all the tech and jargon talk.

#
[Al_Abut] @tgagor and @burgeonlab - welcome! I also didn't know indienews showed up in this channel, I thought it was something only set up for the #stream channel, but I liked the posts regardless.
#
burgeonlab :) Thanks Al_Abut

#
[tantek] tgagor, in general we do encourage indieweb-specific posts to be syndicated to IndieNews rather than all blog posts
#
[tantek] What is IndieNews
#
Loqi IndieNews is an indieweb-specific news aggregator which only accepts submissions via webmention, and is for syndicating posts relevant to the indieweb https://indieweb.org/IndieNews
#
[tantek] What is relevant to the IndieWeb?
#
Loqi Anything directly related to people with their own websites, such as technologies and services used, design and UX, formats and protocols, as well as events or podcasts with IndieWeb talks or content are relevant to the IndieWeb wiki https://indieweb.org/relevant_to_the_IndieWeb

tg8749 A lot of my recent work is in generative AI and creative tooling.
#
tg8749 I’ve integrated OpenAI APIs, Canva AI, and custom models to support generative text, image synthesis, and media transformation.
#
tg8749 I’ve built AI art tools, image generation pipelines, and multimodal systems that combine text, images, audio, and video.
#
tg8749 On the backend, I use Python, JavaScript, and Go, with scalable cloud deployments on AWS AI services.
#
tg8749 I also work heavily with synthetic data and augmentation to improve model robustness.
#
tg8749 The goal is always usable output, not just impressive samples.
#
Loqi hey tg8749: we try to keep jargon (tooling, APIs) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?

Ekul @burgeonlab Love the aesthetic! Lovely stuff.

#
gRegor We have an open slot for hosting the IndieWeb Movie Club next month if anyone is interested, especially if you've not hosted one before! You basically select a movie and write a little intro post about it. More info: https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Movie_Club

#
[tantek] squarespace-- for continuing to enable creating sites that require 10+ script and are filled with non-functional links/buttons if JS fails to load
#
Loqi squarespace has -1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] 10+ scripts* — seriously no excuse for such crappy coding

#
[tantek] on a positive note, has anyone explored creating a "cassette futurism" theme / design for their website? like some of the things shown in https://martin-fieber.de/blog/cassette-futurism/ (follow-on from this morning's IndieWebMovieClub zoom)
#
[tantek] since there are video games with such designs, it seems like there could be (or likely are) personal websites with such aesthetics

#
osteophage There are a few sites with related tags on Neocities. Closest match I could find was this: https://visualculture.vc/
#
[morgan] [tantek] I love that link, and it completely checked out, when, I read the concept I thought of blade runner and Teenage Engineering and both were mentioned
