any opinions on flexbox / grid? They're fine, right?
#
Ruxton
they're super handy and usefuk
#
Ruxton
*useful
#
[Raphael_Luckom]
right, they look exactly like what I wanted to have when I did frontend stuff forever ago. I'm just worried because when things seem good I'm afraid there's going to be a catch 🙂
#
Ruxton
If you need internet explorer support, avoid it
#
Ruxton
otherwise it's pretty well supported
#
[Raphael_Luckom]
cool, thanks!
#
Ruxton
balancing box height can get frustrating
#
KartikPrabhu
you can support older browsers by using @supports to implement fallback styles
#
KartikPrabhu
e.g. <fallback styles with old css> and the @support(display:grid){ <grid styles > } etc...

internet explorer *takes long drag* that's a name I haven't heard in awhile
#
jjuran
Wait, is that you?
#
jjuran
Or maybe I'm taking the reference too literally

[tw2113_Slack_]
probably too literally, in this case
#
[tw2113_Slack_]
mostly because at times i barely remember having to test for IE compat

I'm attempting to import title, author, and date of an arbitrary web page that may or may not have microformats. Is there any existing PHP library for this? mf2/mf2 is not quite enough I think.

samwilson: this is for #indieweb-dev (another chat room), I'll answer there

<petermolnar "I need more coffee"> hehe you made me think maybe I"ve already had too many beers ;)
#
samwilson
<petermolnar "you're after something like http"> that sounds great! thanks
#
petermolnar
"something like" is important, because that lib is mainly to extract the actual content, less about meta
#
samwilson
ah right. but if it's got the basics, maybe that's enough.
#
samwilson
grr it won't install, because of a guzzle version clash

Scrapping the Web is something I could get behind.

@aaronpk my current storage system is sort of similar to yours, there's a content/blog/ folder that contains all the posts, and they're stored as content/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-restofslug/index.md
#
aaronpk
this isn't quite what you're doing, but https://getkirby.com is another example of a CMS that uses a filesystem as its storage

I just learned that https://github.com/markfinger/python-react exists, so I could potentially do server-side rendering while still using django, which is exciting

Part of the reason I'm thinking of adding this backend to my website is because gatsby, which I'm currently using, is really really slow
#
astralbijection
The company that makes it is kinda sketchy too

<KartikPrabhu "Sam Wilson: you can see what PHP"> yeah, I think I might be going to do some combination of things. I did sort out the goose issue: https://github.com/scotteh/php-goose/pull/112
