NegateThis Saw this on Lobsters. Who's gonna implement a Wander page?
#
NegateThis https://codeberg.org/susam/wander#readme
#
[capjamesg] I have had one for a while! https://jamesg.blog/wander
#
[capjamesg] But not using the technology in that codeberg.
#
[capjamesg] It reminds me a bit of the Kagi Small Web explorer, but decentralised. Neat!

NegateThis That's the idea, per the creator

[tantek] alright back to /relevant #indieweb-dev topics then (removing spam from the archive)
duanin2, vidak, barnaby, jonnybarnes, blacklight, cotsuka, deathcomestotime, [aciccarello], [schmarty], hi, to2ds, xXSciencerXx1 and thegreekgeek joined the channel
#
to2ds [tantek]++ - Indeed!
#
Loqi [tantek] has 21 karma in this channel over the last year (142 in all channels)
#
to2ds In particular, my focus has shifted. I no longer have a VPS. My total web presence has shifted to static-only!

#
to2ds Maybe my most pressing question is how one would operate and participate in the IndieWeb, with respect to interatactions, on a completely static website?
#
to2ds Could that function be handled by email only?
#
[capjamesg] I prefer people contact me via email and it works well.
#
[capjamesg] (My website is static too.)
#
[capjamesg] I also support receiving webmentions but I don’t display them on my site.
#
to2ds [capjamesg]++ I think you're onto something!
#
Loqi [capjamesg] has 40 karma in this channel over the last year (192 in all channels)
#
[capjamesg] I have a link to my email on every page in my sidebar which goes to https://jamesg.blog/email
#
to2ds That's pretty cool, James. Email, sans SPAM, is actually an efficient backchannel.
#
[capjamesg] Yeah. I have received a lot of thoughtful emails over the years with this method.
#
[capjamesg] The notice at the bottom of my /email page that encourages people to check my ideas list is new though.
#
[capjamesg] I wanted to try and give a conversation starter for people who just want to say hi!
#
bearina. [capjamesg]++ what a cool idea
#
Loqi [capjamesg] has 41 karma in this channel over the last year (193 in all channels)
#
to2ds So inspirational. I would love to get backchannel communications via email for simple interactions such as how are you doing. I hope you're doing well.
#
[capjamesg] Likewise to2ds!
#
[capjamesg] I am excited to see what you do with your website. I noticed it is under construction at the moment!
#
deathcomestotime i don't know what you mean by completely static, like whether javascript is allowed in that concept, but that's what I use to display webmentions on my static site
#
deathcomestotime i know some people regenerate their websites with the webmentions on the site when the SSG regenerates
#
to2ds [deathcomestotime] I've completely abandoned any semblance of control. My posts over the years are contained within in a SQLite3 datbaase.
