btremI wish it were easier with 11ty to separate content from structure. It'd be nice to create a new github repo with the own-your-wordle code that I wrote, so others could use it.
[aciccarello]Seems like another space where I'd like to have content from personal sites listed or searchable by content type. Reviews, recipes, game scores.
btremI do post h-recipes, but in an unorthodox way. I'm actually thinking of moving my recipes to a sub-domain, and perhaps changing how it all works. Still trying to work out whether and how to change it.
[aciccarello]I've thrown around ideas of moving my markdown files to a separate content repo and using git submodules to pull that into the build but seems like an unnecessary complication.
btremIt's just hard to separate out one part of the site. Like the wordle stuff that I worked on this week. There are functions in .eleventy.js, and templates (what 11ty calls "layouts" but that's the wrong word and an example of 11ty problems per se!) in a directory. And style rules in a stylesheet that contains styles for the whole site. And directory data json and js files in yet another directory.
btremI've also thought of separating out .md files. It's crazy to have edits to a page (in a .md file) mixed in with changes to the site config. I even thought git submodules might be the way. But I'm an amateur. I know just enough git to get it all into a repo. Git submodules scares me.
btremThere's a way to create your own plugins, and I /think/ there's a way to pull a plugin from your own github account, but, as I said, I'm an amateur. Not sure how easy it would be to learn how that works.
btremWhen I put a word between two solidus / marks, the word appears italicized in my chat client (Thunderbird). Same when I do it in email. Also in markdown, which I use for my website. I sort of thought it was a common convention. Does it not appear italicized in other clients?
btremI also use asterisks * around a word to denote strong emphasis, a la the <strong> element. And indeed, it shows as bold in the chat client just as <strong> does (by default) in a web page. And the * convention also works in email and markdown.
btremHa ha. Yeah, that's fair. You could even point out, when you cite it, that the person who mistakenly thought the / solidus means <em> in markdown was (and is) a regular markdown user.
[tantek]Btw in terms of chat clients, a single * adjacent to text (not spaces) starts a bold expression ended by another * adjacent to text which also makes sense to me (instead of the ** of md)
btremI notice there's a bit of hostility towards markdown. I imagine it's more than just the asterisk thing. As for myself, I find markdown much easier than e.g., wiki conventions. Maybe that's just what one is used to. And it's *much* better (see what I did there?) :-D than typing out html tags.
btremIn fact, other than wiki and markdown, I don't know what other entry formats there are. I'd hate having to use a wyswig form. Don't want to keep grabbing my mouse to change elements.
[tantek]Understandable. It is a lot of train travel though I wonder how cheap discount air tickets (EasyJet to Gatwick?) would be. And I understand not wanting to fly in general as well

[Al_Abut][KevinMarks] good stuff in that list, thanks for sharing. I can use two of those tips right away to get rid of hacks I’ve been using for years - hacking up underlines with border padding and a non-breaking space to avoid word orphans.
[snarfed]I'm back to thinking about de-duping protocol bridges. ie when a bridge first sees a user on a given network, how can it determine whether that user already has an account in the other destination network - whether bridged or otherwise - and if so, not bridge them?
[snarfed]most protocols have native ways to indicate "also me/this" links - rel-me, FEP-fffd, NIP-39, etc - but I haven't yet come up with a way that's consistent across them. profile links are the closest I can think of, they might work. otherwise, maybe we just use each protocol's native way on its own?
[snarfed]there are multiple clients, some web-based, but none are canonical. there aren't even well-defined (eg FYND) ways to discover _a_ public web profile URL, other than hard-coding them

[tantek] Yeah markdown has many more problems than that. I've documented some (and possible fixes / replacements) on http://tantek.com/w/Markdown
[jeremycherfas] I’d just add that the hostility to Markdown is not uniformly distributed. 😀
