[Joe_Crawford] That's a good font!

sebbu :)
#
sebbu yeah, well, I prefer nerd-fonts with the PowerLine variants
#
[Joe_Crawford] You may enjoy the talk from Figma 2024 in defense of pixel fonts and their ingeniousness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDI8ubVZi7w
#
sebbu yeah, but i'm more looking into stuff like unifont, but better (supporting all emojis and grapheme clusters, including colored ones)

samlittlefair Hey folks, I'm working on a super simple static site generator. Basically, you can write Markdown and it will produce a full website for you. The Markdown is pretty idiomatic: if the first block is a `#`, it's interpretted as the page title. A `date` property identifies it as ephemeral content (so it's excluded from main navs and included in the `feed.xml`). It uses basic file-system routing, so the structure of your files
#
samlittlefair Currently the only requirement is Node.js (it runs via `npx vowel`) though I'd like to remove that requirement eventually.

samlittlefair It also has basic support for post lists, rich content, and taxonomies, but there's a lot more I'd like to add to it. (Including some social functionality, like Web Mentions.)

samlittlefair It's called Vowel, and I'd love to know what you think. I'm a big believer in Indie Web and I'd love to get more people creating their own websites.

[mattl] Is it on GitHub?
ttybitnik joined the channel
#
samlittlefair [mattl]: The repo isn't public yet, but I plan to make it public soon. Is there something specifically you're wondering about?
#
jonnybarnes quick comment, looking at the Deploy section of the docs, there’s a block for creating a vercel.json file, and I can’t see all of the content, it overflows and I can’t seem to scroll
AramZS joined the channel
#
samlittlefair jonnybarnes: Ah, thanks for pointing that out! There's a layout problem. I think I've fixed it.
#
[mattl] I’ll wait for the repo to check it out

catgirlin.space [manton] trying to use the micro.blog app on my phone and it always says it can't find a micropub endpoint :( any ideas?
#
Loqi aww, cheer up
#
catgirlin.space ty loqi <3
#
[manton] [catgirlin_spac] Hmm. What URL are you entering? Maybe it can’t discover the endpoint from HTML tags.

#
[manton] [catgirlin_spac] Oh, I wonder if the relative URL `/micropub` is confusing it. Lemme double-check the code.
#
catgirlin.space ohh
#
catgirlin.space i think my micropub implementation is pretty basic rn, but it works on like, quill.
#
[manton] I’m 90% sure it’s the relative path. Is it easy for you to change the rel=“micropub” link tag to use a full URL? I’ll fix this in the code, though, we’re working on a new version.
#
catgirlin.space i can yea
#
catgirlin.space hm changed that and it doesn’t like it still :(

[snarfed] so much hand wringing and debate over how to reinvent HTML for the second or third time in the same project 😆 😢 https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/2830
#
epoch hrm.
#
epoch just need something that can do styled text, links, and embedded media?
#
epoch are tables wanted in posts?
#
trwnh looks like there's discussion of fallback text on a per-facet level
#
epoch actually looks at the response to "why not HTML?" someone asked
#
gRegor In case anyone doesn't want to dig https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/why-facets
#
gRegor "How should this be encoded? The obvious answer is Markdown." Let me stop you right there.
#
gRegor XD
#
epoch that post doesn't seem to be a "why not html?", more a "why not markdown?"
#
epoch I think if a feature is added to markdown that doesn't look good in plaintext, it shouldn't be in the markdown
#
gRegor Adios links I guess
#
epoch adios links hiding as other text
#
epoch I hate markdown links anyway
#
epoch they should have done <this>
#
epoch or use some character that isn't a valid URL character
#
epoch I see <this> a lot in older plain text documents already anyway
#
epoch like in man pages, or RFCs
#
epoch (though I guess man pages aren't /exactly/ plaintext with the bolding, and underline)
#
epoch I expect markdown's avoidance of <this> for links is HTML's fault
#
gRegor Yeah, since you can put HTML in Markdown right?
#
epoch in some variants of markdown afaik
AramZS joined the channel
#
epoch adding HTML to markdown makes both worse

epoch https://indieweb.org/markdown#Readability

gRegor Agreed
#
gRegor CommonMark supports it too

#
epoch huh. http://tantek.pbworks.com/w/page/59905776/Markdown has a reason why <this> is bad
#
epoch dahek is CMoS 6.110 ?
#
epoch > login wall for CMoS
#
epoch I can't take that argument seriously
#
epoch I discourage use of CMoS
#
epoch now we're even
