#
[tantek] Ok I’m not seeing/hearing any problems with essentially aliasing a leading '@' to 'https://' in front of a schemeless domain/path so I’m going to update the CASSIS auto linker to do that while retaining @-@ autolinking
#
[tantek] This generalized the @-mention syntax to any profile URL e.g. @micro.blog/manton
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] do you mung @name@site.tld to <a href="https://site.tld/@dname">@name@site.tld</a> at the moment?
#
[KevinMarks] *not dname, that was a typo
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] [tantek] Possibly related, a plugin I made for markdown-it that autolinks @domain@user https://github.com/paulrobertlloyd/markdown-it-handle
#
Loqi [preview] [paulrobertlloyd] markdown-it-handle: Parse links to users on social networks using markdown-it.
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] Oops, I meant @user@domain
#
[tantek] [Paul_Robert_Ll] the existing auto_link function in CASSIS already supports @user@domain and @domain and @domain@domain
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] ^
#
[tantek] @mailto:user@example.com is already supported by CASSIS auto_link. I've posted about it several times already in my 2023 "how do we @-mention people" posts
#
[KevinMarks] I should update the python version
#
[tantek] I should write an @-linking spec
#
[tantek] I’m writing the implementation first, then testing it in production, then I can write the spec

AramZS Curious is there anything out there that is like the self-hosted version of siteleaf, a git-synced flat-file CMS?
#
[snarfed] https://www.google.com/search?q=headless+git+flat+file+cms says yes?

#
[tantek] anyone remember that blog post illustrating all the horrible UI patterns that have entered into products like "You're all set!" as copy for completing even the smallest or harshest tasks?
#
[tantek] it had lots of screenshots of totally different websites/apps doing this
#
[tantek] that post also illustrated such sites/services attempting to upsell folks into other features/subscriptions in many parts of the UI
[timothy_chambe], [schmarty] and gRegorLove_ joined the channel
#
AramZS [snarfed]: A lot of those can play around with different approaches, but I think generally none of them are set up to sync with a git repo automatically

[nsmsn] Here's that blog post, Tankek: https://www.wonderfulnarrative.com/thoughts/youre-all-set
#
[nsmsn] I mean, [tantek]...I can't type today

#
[tantek] nsmsn++ thank you!
#
Loqi nsmsn has 1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] now to put it on the wiki so I can find it again in the future
#
AramZS Very useful. These two look promising, thanks [snarfed]!

#
AramZS Interesting. I think that one is a little too opinionated for me in terms of project shape, just looking at the structure of projects and sites right now but I'll take a look at that one too
#
AramZS My goal is to get as close to self-hosted Siteleaf as possible, something where I have most control and can have my own build process and file structure, but people in a group unfamiliar with Markdown or GitHub could go in and start writing their own pieces of content
#
[tantek] I'm thinking of splitting my Markdown-replacement spec into three pieces: (1) @-linking and other inline enhancements, (2) auto-embedding, and (3) block-level formatting because I can see different contexts wanting to use different combinations of those three.
