paperbritt I accidentally made a links post instead of January's indieweb carnival contribution. I had two drafts and less time than I thought. I've been thinking about it all month but haven't had writing in me much.

mootilda o/o/ Happy February indeed :)
#
mootilda Is this the best channel to ask for recommendations for the world's simplest content management templates, if such exist?

khurtwilliams Submitting https://islandinthenet.com/indieweb-2030/ to IndieNews via Webmention returns no_link_found. mf2py parses the page correctly — single h-entry, u-url set, u-category pointing to https://news.indieweb.org/en. Caches cleared. Any idea what IndieNews is actually seeing?

#
[social] [zacharykaiwrit] I really like both of these Carnivals. I’ve been looking at my long-ish list of snippets that are fodder for creative writing and was wishing there was a fiction or creative writing Carnival to put some out to see what others would do with them.
#
[artlung] khurtwilliams I feel like I've seen pin13 get referenced as a parser https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fislandinthenet.com%2Findieweb-2030%2F ~ there's a lot there and my guess is that your h-cite, the in-reply-to is not the main h-entry but it's in the 'children' property. but I'm not well-versed in sorting out how the indienews parser handles stuff

[KevinMarks] My son says Claude could be good for Indieweb, as we have clear documentation here that it can make sense of as building guidance. It wrote this summary for him from a short prompt https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qCTxZYZK8YgEEY429V6rytYGhRa2TZP1lLlEjwDytAI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.2f5oizczdwkx

#
[morgan] Hello epicCoolDog. Your name brought me a little smile
#
[morgan] I have only briefly read some of the essay-like posts that are recent about the IndieWeb, by Coyote and https://islandinthenet.com/author/khurtwilliams/ just yet. Ive bookmarked them. I just want to emphasize how vivid and great these exchanges of ideas and dialogues are and to me are a sign of something that is very alive and human

osteophage Thank you, I agree. (I'm working on a more specific response to leave as a comment there but am still composing my thoughts.)

valerieflynn mootilda: You might get more responses in the #indieweb-dev channel. That channel deals with more technical stuff.
#
valerieflynn Wasn't sure if you meant content management system or purposely typed templates.
#
valerieflynn Either way it probably depends on how technical you are comfortable getting.

valerieflynn I'm at the WordPress/ Genesis framework level.
#
Loqi hey valerieflynn, would you mind moving this more technical conversation (framework, templates) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
IWDiscord <v​alerieflynn>
#
valerieflynn But if you're into coding others would have more expertise than me.
#
valerieflynn Can do.

khurtwilliams [tantek]: I tried. For some reason the parser at indieweb.org returns no_link_found. mf2py parses the page correctly — single h-entry, u-url set, u-category pointing to https://news.indieweb.org/en.
