lecaseus Quick question, how do you guys feel about website scraping AI?
# lecaseus A random person reached out to me on reddit saying they’re “building this referral program for bloggers that uses Al to detect key sentences in your posts and match them to relevant experts. When a reader books a session with one of them, you earn a commission - no extra work, just a line of code added to your site.” But i dunno sounds sketchy to me
# gmb_ Sounds scammy. I wouldn't add rando third-party code to your website
# [capjamesg] I agree with gmb_.

# lecaseus True, plus I write personal bs anyway so I’m not sure what “experts” this’ll reach lol

# dowy_vz sorry if this isn't the right channel to ask this. i wasn't sure if it should go here or indieweb-dev
# dowy_vz hi! i'm making a toy social media website for fun and i'm thinking of ways to make it more indieweb-y. so far i'm planning adding indielogin/auth (is this the right documentation? https://indielogin.com/api) and IRC (any recommendations on embedding an IRC chat?). any other ideas?

# [mikemai2awesom] i can't load flash anymore, so i recreated this flash ad i made for Safeway back in the days with CSS (same storyboard, different copy) in neon green terminal style. 😂

[artlung] That's great. You may be interested to try https://ruffle.rs on old Flash content. It's what Internet Archive uses.
# Loqi Flash is in the context of the web a reference to Adobe Flash, typically Adobe Flash Player, which is a deprecated proprietary platform and browser plug-in for animation/multimedia content and application distribution on independent sites, more recently on embedded systems like gas station kiosks like https://twitter.com/moenig/status/1030490221392142338 (see screenshots therein) https://indieweb.org/Flash

# Deleted User [edit] https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/directory has lots of websites too!
# Deleted User [edit] If you are looking for a service where you can host a blog without coding, there are many like https://bearblog.dev, https://omg.lol, and https://micro.blog
# Deleted User [edit] Yeah! You can add the event to the https://indieweb.org/pop-up page for people with some suggestions for times and dates.
# Deleted User [edit] https://bearblog.dev/discover is a fun place to find blogs.
# Deleted User [edit] IndieWeb Search is (likely) coming back soon 👀
# Deleted User [edit] As for a template, https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site is a good place to start!

# ZodiacalComet petition to echo the edits in the non-IRC channels so that this effect is more noticeable for those users /jk
