[tantek] capjamesg very much yes
gordinator joined the channel
#
[Michael_Kupiet] capjamesg yes interested. For a while I age-gated a couple of pages of my site. It wasn't really much, just a popup saying "Are you over 18?" and a teenager-appropriate threat if they lied, which I unfortunately can no longer remember.
#
[Michael_Kupiet] That Artisanal Web article is good. Added to my site links.
#
[KevinMarks] With the UK age gating bill going through parliament the problem is that you end up having to challenge everyone who visits your website, which is very different from the defaults we are used to.
#
[Michael_Kupiet] Just did a quick search... that doesn't just apply to adult sites?
#
[KevinMarks] They have a fuzzy definition of Adult
#
aaronpk I'm definitely interested, I have some support for protected posts now and I want to push it further
#
aaronpk Also I have a lot of new ideas for how the OAuth/IndieAuth side of it could work but that's probably better for a dedicated dev session

#
[Michael_Kupiet] I don't know how indieauth works under the hood, but I've written an OAuth client, and am in fact debugging one tonight. Man can OAuth get you into the weeds.
#
[Michael_Kupiet] EDIT: Interested comment respondees, please @ me in #indieweb-dev

#
[cleverdevil] Just posted a little demo of my new feed reader that's integrated with my new site. https://bsky.app/profile/cleverdevil.io/post/3mgokvwyfi22h
#
[social] I finally updated my database to get better search results using InnoDB. It was a rather simple step and the prep of DB export is back to being a single file not multiple.
#
[social] I can now search words with three letter or more. The search is still quick as well. I’ve not moved it out of the Lab yet, but blogged it was available.

#
[manton] Thanks! I didn’t know about https://inkwell.social/. There are a lot of things named Inkwell.
#
[manton] I didn’t see anything feed or open web related, so decided to run with the name. Hopefully won’t be any confusion.

Loqi [indienews] New post: https://www.manton.org/2026/03/09/introducing-inkwell.html (from https://snarfed.org/2026-03-10_manton-reece-introducing-inkwell)
#
[manton] Looks like Inkwell.social didn’t exist until last week? That explains why I never saw it, I’ve had the name picked out for a couple months.
#
[snarfed] maybe a few weeks ago, https://inkwell.social/roadmap/releases?page=3 , but yeah
#
[manton] Hmm. That’s unfortunate.
#
[manton] Technically I leaked the Inkwell name a couple months ago but there was a public GitHub repository. 🙂 The web and Mac app are open source.
#
[manton] “_because_ there was”
#
capjamesg Congrats [manton]++

#
[tantek] What is Inkwell
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Inkwell" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Inkwell is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] Huh I thought we had a Micropub client like that
#
[manton] What is Quill?
#
Loqi Quill is a simple app for posting text notes to your website using Micropub https://indieweb.org/Quill
#
[manton] Kind of loosely related name.
#
[manton] (Not sure if that’s what you were thinking of.)
