@_christinadan you can do something really cool called webmentions where your tweets will basically ping back to your website so you can have all your content forever. i would never do that bc most of my twitter is shitposts but i would love to see if there's something similar for instagram (twitter.com/_/status/1317256317401182210)

[fluffy] If I were to set up an EC2 machine image that’s preconfigured with a basic Publ site would anyone be interested in running that to play with it?
#
[fluffy] I’ve been learning EC2 crap for my new job and it’s an idea which occurred to me today.
#
[fluffy] It feels like a slightly better fit than making a Dockerfile, but only just.

aaronpk is experimenting with iOS 14 widgets
#
aaronpk just stole voxpelli's idea of embedding my list of received webmentions in a widget
geoffo joined the channel
#
aaronpk also my security cameras
#
lahacker what are widgets
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "widgets" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "widgets is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
lahacker must they accompany an app or are they Shortcutable?
#
lahacker tests /me
#
lahacker jamietanna[m]: please do tell about this autoconfiguring editor; i was just sniffing around your ?q=config while implementing micropub in a library context; do you want your editor to conform to your available post-types?
#
aaronpk they're part of an app, but there are a few apps that let you embed a web page
#
aaronpk i wouldn't be surprised if in the future apple builds it in to safari, just like whatever that was called on the mac a decade ago
#
aaronpk dashboard?
#
lahacker what app are you packaging it with?
#
aaronpk it's called Glimpse
#
lahacker oh cool, thanks
