#
ulhar4409 a thought: is <h1> inappropriate for a site's header?
#
ulhar4409 like, my site currently does that for the header and i'm wondering if it should do something else
sebbu joined the channel
#
[snarfed] seems fine...? it is literally a header tag
#
ulhar4409 i mean, semantically speaking
#
ulhar4409 like, if a site has a navigation bar at the top, should it get to use the h1?
#
ulhar4409 or should it save that for the "content"

#
osteophage What I remember being told is that there should only be one h1 per page.

#
[jeremycherfas] You can use <nav></nav> and style that.

[KevinMarks] Following up on the atproto discussion the other day - heres an explanation of what hours were by Dan Abramov: https://overreacted.io/a-social-filesystem/

[KevinMarks] *what goes where

#
[bunnyguy] ulhar4409 i think the <header> tag works for your use case

#
ulhar4409 probably yeah, mostly i'll miss the header being Inherently Big
#
ulhar4409 (which i guess is what CSS is for but y'know)
#
ulhar4409 anyway - is there a good way to have JS insert element(s) somewhere in the document? my footer has a theme selector that doesn't really need to be present to begin with if JS isn't available to make it usable
doesnm_ and gRegor joined the channel
#
gRegor For something like that, I've usually set up a .requires-javascript selector that visually hides the element, then on document.ready, have JS remove that class

#
ulhar4409 i actually did something like that at first, i put a `hidden` attribute on the theme selector, but that only hides it if the client also interprets CSS, i think (it has no effect in Lynx and EWW, so the element still appears there)
#
ulhar4409 here's the code i ended up writing to make the element not appear without JS enabled: https://ulhar.net/assets/js/theme-toggle.js

gRegor Nice! crowdersoup++

#
gRegor crowdersoup, I went through the "Login with your website" process and it seemed to all work, ended up back on the post, but the Webmention form still prompts me to log in.
#
gRegor Trying on https://crowdersoup.com/blog/post/photo-1768775494/ specifically
#
Loqi [preview] [Aaron Crowder] I keep sharing links to my blog, so I figured Iā€™d update my blog to let you leave comments on it too. Now theres native commenting, with a real data model, clean front-end forms, and a simple moderation flow in the admin. Spam is filtered early wit... https://crowdersoup-blog.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/image/2026/01/cf0ff8b2-5af7-411e-b5a9-d9ab9b37a54b.png

#
crowdersoup I will do a more thorough pass of that. I was able to get it to work for myself but it's kinda hard to test without having a "dev" identity lol
#
gRegor Welcome, let me know if you want me to test again sometime. It might also be nice if when it returns back to the post, it's on the "Webmention" toggle already. It defaulted to the comments form for me
#
crowdersoup I will make note of that feature!
#
gRegor Do your posts only accept webmentions if signed in?
#
crowdersoup No, you should be able to send a webmention to my webmention endpoint normally
#
crowdersoup https://crowdersoup.com/webmention <- That's my webmention endpoint
#
gRegor Nice. Login is a good anti form-spam measure
#
crowdersoup Yeah, that was my thought. With regular comments I'm using Akismet and CloudFlare turnstile
#
crowdersoup Another thing I did today was enrich my RSS feed so that posts now look like you'd expect them to.
