Pretty sure we can get Emelia's help with connecting with a Mastodon person, she's asked about this bug in the past

just checking, you can have two rel values right? just space separated? (kinda want to use both rel-sweetheart and rel-date but idk.......)
#
gRegor
yep, rel values can be space separated

Hey guys, I’m a long-time lurker, small time talker - but I’m looking for feedback on our latest website redesign - https://www.wearesul.com - any feedback is welcome, and any insight or expert opinion is _greatly_ appreciated. Have a wonderful Friday y’all ☺️

It renders pretty well even without javascript. The one thing I noticed is that that sevices drop down doesn't. It should probably have a a href="url" link as a fallback with a url having a list of the services links.
#
superkuh
Or maybe just an a href anchor down to the footer which has the links.
#
catgirlin.space
think it'd be possible to do a drop down like that with only css?
#
[Andrew_Smith]
you know, I’ve struggled with that drop down - I’ve created an application UI framework (which I’m using here) and it this uses the menu component, but I _think_ it struggles with interaction like that - in addition, it’s difficult to crawl for SEO - in a quick attempt to fix, I pushed a bunch of links into the footer.

Thank you for pointing it out, it validates a need to look a little deeper

The site looks good, it's fast, and is readable.

superkuh: you just manually read your nginx logs every now and then if there are "webmentions" and then you manually edit your html page it corresponds to to add it the page? http://superkuh.com/blog/2020-01-10-1.html I don't understand everything well here so just trying to understand

onla, Correct. I keep the log file open as a tab in my text editor which indicates changes. It's fine for only get a webmention once every month or so.

that's kinda amazing 😂
#
[tantek]
what are webmention notifications
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "webmention notifications" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "webmention notifications is ____", a sentence describing the term)

Would this work: Have static website (manual, bashblog, or other) with basic form with url input type as only validator for the incoming webmention to be sent to webmention.io. Then optional: Upon submit, show them smth like "webmentions updated hourly". Next, have a script that retrieves webmention.io webmentions for all pages and appends new webmentions not previously appended to the html
#
onla
files and have this script run automatically once in an hour or os. If some webmentions webmention.io shows me doesn't sit nicely, I later manually edit the said webmention in the html file. This would seem very lightweight solution with automatic feel for host and visitor. I guess some lightweight listener solution could listen to webmention.io and update immediately too and it wouldn't be
#
onla
resource hog either. Would this be the lightweight solution #1 if you are on a shared host without access to web server logs and if you don't want any server-side scripting nor client-side so that the site works flawlessly on javascript disabled browsers

[snarfed] does this comment mean I should try posting again today to see if AP federation is working again? https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/885#issuecomment-2394529651

[preview] [snarfed] ^ Hopefully fixed. @jamietanna @tantek feel free to reopen if you see this again!

[snarfed]
[tantek] sorry, no, that's a different thing
