[KevinMarks] CSS << https://matthiasott.com/notes/the-new-css
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://matthiasott.com/notes/the-new-css" to the "See Also" section of /Cascading_Style_Sheets https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=88313&oldid=79490
Loqi___, [tantek], tei_, tei_1 and [Jo] joined the channel
#
[Jo] That is so true
#
[tantek] Exciting times!
omz13 and alephalpha0 joined the channel
#
alephalpha0 Is this the channel to discuss/ask about how to go about making a Hugo theme implement things like h-carda and pingbacks?
#
capjamesg Yes indeed!
#
capjamesg Do you already have a personal website set up?
#
[tantek] what is Hugo
#
Loqi Hugo is a static site generator written in Go used by several people in the IndieWeb community to run their personal sites https://indieweb.org/Hugo
#
[tantek] indeed alephalpha0! though it looks like https://indieweb.org/Hugo#How_to could use some expansion, specifically to answer your question about adding h-card support to a Hugo theme
#
alephalpha0 Sweet. Thanks y'all.
#
[tantek] the nice thing is there’s a bunch of people here who use Hugo: https://indieweb.org/Hugo#IndieWeb_Examples so there's plenty of people to ask!
#
alephalpha0 I do already have a site set up.. but it's kinda barebones as far as far as making it my own goes right now.
#
alephalpha0 I'll browse those links and see what I can find.
#
alephalpha0 I've been reading the wiki here recently, but like most other wikis, it kinda sprawls at times.😀

#
[tantek] indeed it does! it is a sprawling garden in need of continuous tending, weeding, cultivating
#
alephalpha0 I'm glad it exists tho, that wasn't a slight against it.
#
[tantek] 👍
#
c​apjamesg We are always here to help you navigate the wiki!

#
[snarfed] interesting discussion on https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/1213 on whether Bluesky/ATProto should return the Content-Type header on HTTP requests for its blobs. I'm trying to advocate for yes, I'd love to hear if any of you have additional arguments for/against
#
[snarfed] (note that DavidBuchanan314 there is not on the Bluesky team, bnewbold is)

#
[tantek] generally agreed with your points [snarfed] and methodology, especially the broader context of "love how much the team has already leaned into web-native interop in so many ways! Keeping `Content-Type` on `getBlob` is a relatively easy way to not backslide there"
#
[snarfed] thanks!
#
[tantek] some good responses to https://hachyderm.io/@renegadejade/110553942884474761
#
Loqi [preview] [jade] Is #indieweb compatible with fediverse/activitypub?(I’m not sure this is even the right question to ask, tbh)I want to host a blog at my own domain for long-form writing, and when I post it, have a meta description/excerpt post to my Mastodon accou...
#
[tantek] ... but no mention of Bridgy Fed yet. I was thinking of replying (using Bridgy Fed of course) to note that option as well
#
[snarfed] that'd be great!

#
[tantek] UI design related observation: if your UI has *any* color whatsoever (e.g. images, decorative or not), then don't just use changes of black & white colorings (e.g. inversions) to indicate which UI item is "selected" or "default" or "active" or "hovered" or "focused" because it's too hard to tell if it's actually in that state or just "accented". Actual (bad) example: Amazon Prime Video UI on Apple TV (possibly elsewhere too). It's
#
[tantek] hard to tell which UI item is focused because it's "merely" black text on a white background instead of the "default" display of white text on a black background with a thin white border (sometimes)
#
[tantek] black & white inversions work for that kind of thing only in pure 1-bit UIs (like classic pre-color Macs) and even then with very careful & deliberate design (that generally works like those classic Mac UIs did e.g. HyperCard)

[tantek] !tell [benatwork] looks like your RSVP posts lost their markup because the <data> elements are being over-escaped, e.g. https://werd.io/view/51ca1213bed7de1e7763d71f
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
