[morgan] I know many people have a OK relation with it but getting off the website linkedin for like 90 days now has done a lot to boost my wellbeing. I just had the worst relationship with the site, I would occasionally post stuff, occasionally read stuff, it would infuriate me regularly.
#
[morgan] I feel this is one of the few communities that might 'get it'. Basically I reccomend the idea to anyone honestly, in this economy, why not pursue your dreams

#
thamara_k I realised that I have many photos of my desk setup that I have taken over the years. Think it could be interesting to document them somehow on the website. Maybe a /desk or a /setup page
#
thamara_k I think there's a place for it separate from /uses (or /using), which doesn't necessarily document an evolution
#
thamara_k "setup" could be broadly defined, doesn't necessarily have to be computers/electronics, could be a writing setup, or art, music etc
#
thamara_k Just thinking out loud

lesleylai I've been getting into slashpages lately after discovering https://slashpages.net/. I added https://lesleylai.info/colophon/ yesterday and https://lesleylai.info/history/ today
#
lesleylai I wonder if there's prior art for a /history page documenting a site's history. It's not really a changelog, and most of it is from what I can remember.
#
thamara_k I've been exploring slashpages, too. Have to admit it can get a bit overwhelming haha
#
lesleylai Yeah. The boundary is kind of blurry whether something should be a slash page or a blog post
#
thamara_k I can see your point about the history page, although personally I have opted for a changelog

emsquirrel Finally picked up my own domain!
#
emsquirrel The micro.blog it's redirecting to is basically blank right now, but hopefully that will change shortly (it's finals week next week and I've got a project due tomorrrow).

gRegor what is slashpage
#
Loqi page is short for a web page on the IndieWeb, and is usually primarily known by its name (AKA named page), served at the top level of a site (AKA slash page), and kept updated in place in contrast to posts which are primarily datetime-based; a page that is browser-editable with viewable revisions is a wiki-page https://indieweb.org/slashpage

[morgan] Great post [capjamesg]. I think my website has evolved from an attempt at a professional placeholder to something that documents some engagement with community and web standards. Definitely small audience, but some really good times with it.

Van1 Where can I find chatrooms for more specific topics/interests?

[tantek] Hi Van1, if you mean for more specific indieweb topics, see https://indieweb.org/discuss
#
[tantek] for non-indieweb related topics, you may have to search the web!
#
[tantek] Didn't get a chance to demo at HWC, however I added some monochrome only styling enhancements to my site (links are bold in monochrome), and just minutes ago added a small decorative affordance ➚ to hypertext links only in the content of my posts (for all visual presentations)
