[rose] Re: Animations, I have a pause button on my website. I admit it's because I have a moving gradient background and sometimes I just like to pause it when the colours are especially pretty. Note that it can be combined with prefers reduced motion media queries and/or eco mode, too.
#
snowlesstaco What would be "eco mode" for a website? I imagine css animations don't take up that much space. 🤔
#
aaronpk What is eco mode?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "eco mode" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "eco mode is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] [snarfed] do you have any latest Bridgy / Webmention stats?
#
[tantek] similarly aaronpk, do you have any stats for webmention io?
#
aaronpk Like for a year in review?
#
[tantek] yeah!
#
aaronpk 86,000 webmentions in 2025 so far
#
[tantek] would be interesting to note stats year over year
#
aaronpk https://media.aaronpk.com/2025/12/16071431-3755.png
#
aaronpk peak was 2021
#
[tantek] interesting
#
[tantek] maybe worth noting in the -review pages e.g. https://indieweb.org/2025-review and prior years
#
[tantek] aaronpk, I wonder if some of those peaks / drops coincide with Bridgy Backfeed shutdowns of various silos
#
[tantek] like what are the numbers purely for Bridgy Backfeed webmentions (which should all share a Bridgy domain), vs everything else?
#
aaronpk oh yeah i think i've done that before
#
aaronpk if i take out brid.gy, ap.brid.gy, bsky.brid.gy then: https://media.aaronpk.com/2025/12/16072653-4411.png

[aciccarello] bridgyfed++
#
Loqi bridgyfed has 5 karma in this channel over the last year (9 in all channels)
#
[aciccarello] That's where most of my webmentions are probably from
#
[aciccarello] Always interesting to see which bots are on the hashtags 😆
#
[aciccarello] It'd be fun to play around with a webmention stat page on my site

#
gRegor [aciccarello], hah, yeah, there's a Mastodon account for music and it reposts every one of mine tagged #music
#
gRegor https://newsmast.community/@music explicit bridgy mention in the bio too, woo!

#
gRegor [aciccarello], I am also willing to help review code PRs on indiewebify.me. Perhaps some minimal contributions some time in the future, but trying to step back from that a bit in the near term.
#
gRegor I still need to read your post about the hackathon. Depending what it entails, I might be able to help with one for IWM next year.
#
gRegor what is indieweb hackathon
#
Loqi The IndieWeb Hackathon is a recurring event encouraging contributions to software projects in the IndieWeb community https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Hackathon
#
[aciccarello] Sounds good gRegor. Let me know what you think when you read my post. I think it'd be great if we could use a hackathon to rally people to get the slim migration done.
#
[aciccarello] As long as there is someone who can review PRs, give feedback, merge, and deploy, the hope is that other people can get involved.
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] When I write down some project recommendations, I was thinking of recommending adding a github codeowners file so PRs automatically get assigned to the maintainers and people in chat know who to reach out to.
#
[artlung]2 and I think CONTRIBUTING.md files would be great. Would love to see some examples of ones folks read and thought "that does a good job"
#
gRegor Yeah that auto assigning sounds great!
#
gRegor Can always be delegated later, but that initial notification will be good
DanQ joined the channel
#
ramenos Just a simple HTML/CSS way to create and manage albums. Wanted to share just in case.
#
IWDiscord <r​amenos>
#
ramenos Hi all. I have been browsing a photo management solution to host on my server for quite some time. I wanted something simple, minimalist in terms of data management and so far, I am quite happy with Minigal Nano : https://github.com/sebsauvage/MinigalNano
#
gRegor Nice! thanks for sharing
#
gRegor what is gallery?
#
Loqi A gallery is a deliberately curated set of photos, that may itself be a post, or an archive view, or potentially dynamically created via tags https://indieweb.org/gallery
[lazcorp] joined the channel
#
gRegor gallery << https://github.com/sebsauvage/MinigalNano a very simple image gallery that only requires PHP and GD image library, no databases. Images uploaded in a folder become a gallery of photos.
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://github.com/sebsauvage/MinigalNano a very simple image gallery that only requires PHP and GD image library, no databases. Images uploaded in a folder become a gallery of photos." to the "See Also" section of /gallery https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=106787&oldid=106389

[artlung]2 change in price structure for how GitHub actions run. https://resources.github.com/actions/2026-pricing-changes-for-github-actions/ ~ I think this will have no effect on my limited usages of these but curious to know how this might affect others.

ulhar4409 are there any examples of, say, preprocessing commands for micropub? (i.e. ask the server to preprocess in a particular way?)
DanQ joined the channel
#
gRegor Not that I know of, though depends what you mean. Do you have an example use-case?
#
gRegor There are some extensions, https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions, like the one to set the URL slug is common
#
ulhar4409 e.g. "the content field is written in markdown/org-mode/what-have-you, translate it to HTML for me?"
#
[aciccarello] I have my micropub media endpoint do some image compression.
#
ulhar4409 hmm, i figure that's a reasonable default preprocessing step, but i mean for something more intentional
#
gRegor That could be an mp-config query to see what formats the micropub server supports
#
aaronpk i have an experimental extension for sending markdown/plaintext/html formats to my micropub endpoint. quill supports it
#
ulhar4409 i am curious about this extension
#
aaronpk basically a command like this https://indieweb.org/Micropub-extensions#Destination so `mp-content-type` so the client can indicate what content type it is sending
#
gRegor ah nice
