[jeremycherfas] There are services, such as Buttondown, that will take your RSS feed and turn it into an email newsletter, if that is what you would like.
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "RSS to email" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "RSS to email is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[tantek] [snarfed] is BridgyFed behind in its queues? It acknowledged a 202 for my most recent post (listed at top of https://mention.tech/) however it's not showing up in my BF profile: https://fed.brid.gy/web/tantek.com
# [snarfed] is this https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/884 again? does your post have a non-https link that isn't serving?
# [tantek] [snarfed] the post is https://tantek.com/2025/127/t1/cybersecurity-three-more-key-steps has no non-https links

# [snarfed] I liked that post before you first sent it to BF, so it looks like you hit https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1835
# maxbanister [snarfed] I had a dev question about Bridgy Fed: for a post bridged from ActivityPub to ATProto using BF, is it possible to get the URI of the new post on the AT side, so I can link to it on my site? I see the docs mention that there's a URL to the original Fediverse post in the AT record, but is it possible to go the other way? Thanks in advance.
# [snarfed] maxbanister prefix it with http://bsky.brid.gy/r/ !
# [tantek] lol [snarfed] adding "&force=true" worked ... with mention.tech somehow. Can't help but wonder if that means mention-tech is not escaping query parameters in URLs and thus it got passed through to the webmention endpoint request, or if it was escaped, and thus BridgyFed thought it was retrieving a different URL
# maxbanister Prefix what, the object id? I get: No web user found for any of
{'maxbanister.com'}# maxbanister And thanks for the quick reply :)

# maxbanister I still get the "no web user found" error, which doesn't seem right since i'm an AP user

# maxbanister it seems to work in the other direction FWIW: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/maxbanister.com/post/3locl65y4dbs2
# maxbanister sorry, I don't get what you're saying. are you saying that my premise of going from a fediverse post id URI to a Bluesky address is flawed?
# maxbanister i really don't know how ATProto works, so I have no idea how easy it is to get a reference to a post that came from a fediverse post
# maxbanister yeah, i'm following myself with my test account
# [snarfed] maxbanister sorry, you're right, I misspoke, https://bsky.brid.gy/r/ is primarily for bridged web sites
# maxbanister thanks! i'll take my discussion to github

# btrem I'm working on a footnotes plugin for my site. Question for 11ty devs: is there a way to count the number of times a shortcode has been called in a single markdown file? I'd like to simply order my footnotes in front matter, and call a shortcode for each reference in the text, and have it put it the right number/mark.
# 
[aciccarello] Oh, good question. What templating language are you using?
# [aciccarello] If you write posts in markdown, I would actually look for a markdown-it plugin instead of using a shortcode
claudinec joined the channel
# [aciccarello] I'm wondering if there's a way to define the footnote in the shortcode, have it save the value to some state/array, and then reference that in another shortcode.
# [aciccarello] So you would get automatic numbering and you could define the text of the footnote where the link would appear in the page.
# [aciccarello] I'm not 100% sure where you'd store that state though.

# btrem Hmm, yeah, not sure how I'd even begin to do that. I sort of like having the footnotes in front matter, in a yaml array of strings. More or less what you'd have done with a typewriter back in the day: in the text, put in the refs; at the bottom, type the footnotes in order, one after the other.

# Loqi A footnote is a typographical convention predating the web for indicating more information is available about a word, phrase, or sentence by the use of an immediately adjacent superscript (usually a number), and the presentation of the same superscript followed by a note, often a citation, in the footer of the page, and sometimes used on the web instead of inline hyperlinks to reduce reader distraction https://indieweb.org/footnote

# btrem No, at this point it's just a matter of writing 11ty/javascript, css, and nunjucks code. I have something working pretty well. My template displays footnotes in an <ol> element outside of the <main> element. The <li> elements have unique id attributes. Finally, a shortcode shows a reference in the text, inside a <sup>erscript element, with a document fragment link to the note.
# btrem One feature I'm rather pleased with is I can opt to use symbols (e.g., †, ‡, §, etc.) instead of numbers. Which is probably what I'll use most of the time. My first use of a footnote for my site is not a citation (or cite -- homophone!), it's to provide a bit of explanation that isn't needed in the main text.
