@medimikka The one thing I missed from Blot is the ability to include Webmentions. That's fixed now, especially for Twitter, thanks to Bridgy and http://Webmention.io. (twitter.com/_/status/1452427649960263683)

doosboox I'm considering making my website dark. The current CSS rules are: body { max-width: 45em; margin: auto; padding: 0 1em 5em; }
#
doosboox I'm thinking about changing it to: body { max-width: 45em; margin: auto; padding: 0 1em 5em; background-color: black; color: white; } a, a:visited { color: turquoise; }
#
doosboox and this is silly, but I'm kinnda on the fence because it feels like CSS creep and bikeshedding and a bit bloaty

sknebel don't worry about CSS creep as long as it fits in the first HTTPS response packet :D
#
sknebel (and after that, probably dont worry either if you hand-write your CSS, your annoyance of dealing with it will step in sooner than any technical issue, but that's like the ultimate performance benchmark :D)

doosboox haha

petermolnar fiddling with CSS is basically how I doodle

#
doosboox In this old post I noted that I only had two CSS rules: https://warmedal.se/~bjorn/posts/an-ode-to-gemtext.html
#
doosboox I have since added the padding rule because it looked awful on mobile devices otherwise
#
doosboox that's already a 50% increase! :D

#
[chrisbergr] doosboox, But you have inline CSS ;)
#
[chrisbergr] Anyway, very pleasant to see such a clean and simple code again.
#
doosboox [chrisbergr]: that's true :) I added the "logo" after that post too. I've been meaning to move that CSS to the head

[snarfed] doosboox in case it helps, here's how I added dark mode to my site, using prefers-color-scheme and CSS variables: https://github.com/snarfed/wordpress/compare/before-dark...main
#
[snarfed] argh nm, heh, private repo
#
GWG [snarfed]: I do that too
#
GWG I can share my theme
#
[snarfed] you can see it in the raw CSS, starting at the top

GWG I use sass mostly to assemble a final css file.
#
GWG Could probably use a cat entry

@wolfr_2 ↩️ Can't really measure SEO. Some microformats (hcard for one) have been a good practice for a while. Mostly overrated in my book. The only real thing they (might) do is enrich organic search results. Some help with things like webmentions. But it's been a while I bothered really. (twitter.com/_/status/1452684387108245505)
#
[tantek] that's a more up to date perspective than I expected in a tweet mentioning "SEO"
#
capjamesg[d] "overrated"?
#
capjamesg[d] I don't think so.
#
capjamesg[d] In fact, I think they are heavily underrated.

#
capjamesg[d] Does anyone know how to save multiple WARC files in Python?
#
capjamesg[d] I'm having trouble getting my head around the warcio docs.
#
capjamesg[d] Ah, got it!

Loqi ok, I added "Beware of using/showing angry reacjis: <blockquote>n November 2019, Facebook staffers noticed they had a serious problem. Facebook offers a collection of one-tap emoji reactions.

#
capjamesg[d] I am going to extend the IndieWeb Search crawler to save a site to WARC files.
#
capjamesg[d] I’m hoping to make my own little site archive soon.
#
aaronpk "little"
#
capjamesg[d] Well the code will be more complex overall but it is almost all on top of what I have already built.
#
capjamesg[d] If I crawl once per week or so I wonder how much I will save up.
#
capjamesg[d] I actually don’t know how big my site is.
#
capjamesg[d] Does anyone keep track of how big their site is?
#
aaronpk based on my own archiving of the pages for webmentions i received, the data added up *fast* and i stopped doing it
#
capjamesg[d] That must have been a big archive?
#
capjamesg[d] You’d archive every Tweet right?
#
capjamesg[d] My site fits in a GitHub repo right now.
#
capjamesg[d] But I bet it will outgrow that if I upload too many images.
#
[tantek] I think I may call my function for [*]-ing particular words autosplat() 😂
#
capjamesg[d] 😂

#
capjamesg[d] Will Web 3 be on that list?

#
[tantek] haha that's a whole different thing. another hidelist for cryptocurrentsea etc.

capjamesg[d] Wow. With this and the server side APIs, I think I might be able to play around with the webauthn api

#
capjamesg[d] Well, it’s still complicated…
#
[jacky] I've been wanting to edit posts _directly_ on my site for some time. I've been tinkering locally but being able to like double click a region or hit the konami code to activate "editor" mode would make it easy for me to do quick edits / typo corrections, etc
#
[jacky] I figure it'd be best to do it there too since my server knows what the original content structure looks like (technically it queries for it from the micropub server) but it could provide a sort of "render the provided content as if it were a part of this post" endpoint
