#Seirdy[schmarty]: i made my h-card a <picture> element with an svg and png fallback, and now my photo doesn't load...are h-cards allowed to be <picture> elements?
#[tantek]oooh I think that may be a new thing in the wild!
#Seirdycuz no matter what i want my photo to be renderd as 16x16 logical pixels next to my name, but i don't wanna look hella pixelated on other services that parse h-cards so i include a higher-res version that most browsers will ignore (since most browsers won't want a 64x64 PNG for a 16x16 space. Both pngs are a fallback for the SVG, since some browsers don't support SVG.
#Seirdye.g. the Tor browser's safest setting, or w3mimg
#[tantek]Seirdy, can you open a top level issue on https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues specifically requesting that the mf2 parsing algorithm add support for the picture element, and that you have a use-case with the u-photo of an h-card ? feel free to link the other mentioned issues above as well to make them more discoverable
#[jeremycherfas]I have an artist friend who has no clue about websites or even how to write a Word file that does not contain weird formatting. I’m helping him by doing data cleaning and creating a spreadsheet. Ultimately, he wants a website, driven from the spreadsheet (or similar). Can anyone recommend an open source project that will create reasonable HTML from, say, a Google Sheet. Or maybe from sqlite?
#[jeremycherfas]Not IndieWeb yet, but this is to enable him to check the data. It will become a proper portfolio site in due course, and I hope to persuade him to be IndieWeb then.

#[jeremycherfas]I should add that I don't need to write to the Sheet or database, only access it and display some text and an image.
#[tantek][jeremycherfas] someone at an IWS (maybe Darius?) demonstrated their personal website running and dynamically serving content from “tables” in a Google Spreadsheet!
#[tantek]I don't remember what the software was or how it was setup but I do remember that adding a post was a matter of adding a line to the spreadsheet and it “just worked”
#[tantek]Similarly editing posts was trivial, edit that row in the spreadsheet
