(hi all, I'm new here and I hope this is a good place to ask this) has anyone made or seen a "jump to year" UI in a paginated blog before? I've seen paginated yearly archives, but not a UI for jumping to a year within another paginated list of blog posts. I'm remaking my blog now and trying to figure out the right UI for this. maybe putting this before the list of years is enough to make it clear how to use it, but I'm not sure? <s

GitHub's contribution feed on profiles comes to mind, eg https://github.com/snarfed/#js-contribution-activity-description
#
dseomn
oh yeah, that is somewhat similar. they don't have page numbers though. the part I'm trying to figure out is how to make it clear that the numbers are years rather than really large page numbers

I figured out how to automate the populating of my /random, /sitemap, and /search pages from my xml sitemap! One less hurdle in publishing on my website which should make the process less daunting/time consuming.

doesnm: hi! I just noticed your username and I'm amused. I don't think I've ever seen another username that looks anything like mine before
#
doesnm
dseomn: that's funny. My nick are shorter version of "does not matter"
#
dseomn
that's simpler than mine. I'm the first letters of David Eric Mandelberg and Some Other Nerd, interleaved. I came up with it when I was trying to find something that was both as short as possible and as unlikely to collide with anybody else's username as possible

dseomn: [artlung] has year archives on artlung.com, scroll down to the Blogging section in the middle column, then expand "Blog Archives"

#
gRegor
what is archive?
#
Loqi
archive in the context of the indieweb refers to date-grouped (often monthly) sets of posts (AKA personal historical archives, a common form of temporal navigation), but can sometimes mean archival copy, a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time https://indieweb.org/archive
#
gRegor
Some more examples on there
#
dseomn
yup, I'm familiar with that, but that's not what I'm trying to do
#
dseomn
I'm trying to jump to years within a list, not create a list of years
#
gRegor
Hm, I'm not sure I understand the distinction
#
gRegor
Like a dropdown list?
#
dseomn
there are two distinctions I care about: 1. I want to be able to jump to a year, but still go to pages before or after the year. so clicking on 2023 could take me to the middle of page 4 of the normal blog, then I could scroll up or down and go to the previous or next page from there. 2. I want do be able to do that within a tag too, so I could go to /tag/technology/ then click on 2023 to jump to /tag/technology/page/2/#id-of-last-
#
dseomn
blog-post-in-2023
#
dseomn
as opposed to an archive which would create separate pages like /2023/ or /tag/category/2023/
#
dseomn
oops, I meant /tag/technology/2023/ to use the previous example
#
dseomn
it could be implemented with a dropdown list, but so far what I've got is normal pagination like "1 2 3 ... ->" and under that a line like "2025 2024 ...". clicking on any of the links in the first line goes to a page. any of the links in the second line goes to a post within one of those pages
#
gRegor
aaronpk uses `before` query parameters with a datetime which sounds like it might achieve that, e.g. https://aaronparecki.com/?before=20240808T190343-0700.
#
gRegor
I only see an "older" link at the bottom that automatically generates that datetime, but you could create a list of those with fixed datetimes, like January 1 each year
#
dseomn
yeah, that looks similar to what I'm doing in terms of segmenting a list by date. it's really just the UI/UX that I'm not sure about since I could see someone confusing the page numbers and the years. using full dates would solve that though
#
gRegor
yeah, combining page numbers with year numbers for nav could be confusing
#
gRegor
I think I'd lean towards year archive pages with prev/next links on them
#
dseomn
or I could just use a normal archives UI, but link to /page/2/#last-post-of-2024 instead of /2024/
#
dseomn
thanks, I'll think about it some more
