[snarfed] re: "prioritizing web <=> bluesky in Bridgy Fed right now more than activitypub <=> bluesky" absolutely yes please
#
[tantek]
the slightly broader version of that is: prioritize web <=> protocol-X in Bridgy Fed right now more than protocol-Y <==> protocol-X
#
[tantek]
there's two aspects to this which I think make it make sense
#
[tantek]
first, the "[indie] web <=>" portion/perspective has a community here that you can check with directly to see if you’re solving a user-problem that people actually want solved

second, on the indieweb granularity side of the bridge, an individual is making a decision about setting up their one site to interact with the bridge and whoever is on the other side, whether following, @-mentioning etc. that keeping the decision to the individual directly about bridging, may help mitigate some of the scaling / opting-in considerations

I could've sworn he wrote something like that years ago too. Or am I confusing him with someone else?

The first `die()` is on line 666. That's a bit funny.

If anyone has ideas for fixing / updating the HTML map element, let's chat
#
[tantek]
Specifically so it can scale, work with responsive images etc
#
[tantek]
Use-case: things like capjamesg area linked bookshelf image
#
capjamesg
I would love that scaling support.
#
capjamesg
I want my image maps to work on mobile.
#
capjamesg
I hear you can make it happen with a JS shim. I will inevitably be down that rabbit hole at some point.
#
[tantek]
Oh interesting. Makes me wonder if a web component is the answer
voxpelli and ramsey joined the channel
#
capjamesg
It could very well be.
#
capjamesg
I'll be open sourcing whatever I make.
#
capjamesg
Perhaps that will advance the discussion more?
#
[qubyte]
I’d be very interested in using such a component.

Could you put it in an iframe and scale that?
#
[KevinMarks]
You'd still need to work out how to make the clicks on it navigate the outer context

Would it be possible to do something similar with an `<svg>` element? That way you could map both the image and the links to the same co-ordinate system, which is scalable by definition

[benji]
I just did two of these for my site and I'm currently working on a blogpost about them. They both use svg and it works well on the browsers and devices I've tested. https://benji.dog/about and https://benji.dog/articles/my-favorite-mugs/
#
capjamesg
[benji] You just reminded me of my mug list: https://jamesg.blog/mugs/
#
[tantek]
^ add it to the list capjamesg :)
#
[tantek]
(Yes I checked, mugs wasn't on it :)
#
[benji]
capjamesg Those are some good mugs. I think I had that or a similar starbucks mug some time ago. always liked how sturdy they feel

I wonder if there’s a way to do this with a srcset. It would mean not using `background-image` I guess (not a frontend dev by trade, I’m a hobbyist in this arena).

benji++ that's cool. A small suggestion: the colour infill only triggers on hover, but not focus (though the links still work, and your general focus styles still kick in, so it's all perfectly accessible regardless)

I love these mug lists

[aciccarello] You should write one1
#
[tantek]
capjamesg, did you see the mugs in the photos from IWC SD 2023?
#
capjamesg
I didn't!

The indie web is a wonderful rabbit hole ✨
