[Sophia] It is a static site - so no data other than local storage
# [Sophia] lots of interactives
[Tabitha], lanodan and bterry joined the channel
# [Sophia] that is over my head - but I am willing to pair with you on it

# kensanata [Sophia]: I wrote a dice roller web app that uses service workers to download the dice-rolling sound files so that you can still hear them roll when you're offline. The only advice I have to offer is that I struggled a lot with the tutorial I used at the time. 😬
# kensanata If you'd prefer looking at the code: https://src.alexschroeder.ch/roll.git/ -- note that I also have a server component for dice "rooms" so that people can share their dice rolls.

Zegnat [Sophia]: I really liked https://goingoffline.adactio.com/ for learning about the service workers caches, if you had not seen that yet
# Zegnat In general reading adactio's writings on the serviceworkers tag of his blog is good. He has done some interesting stuff, like using service workers to load a heavy third-party library in the background for map rendering. https://adactio.com/journal/tags/serviceworkers

# [Sophia] reading adactio's book on service workers now - rabbit holes right?
# [Sophia] I am pondering a good use case for me to play with it.
# 
[tantek] here is a "simple" example that I built as a use-case https://asin.cc/
# [social] I completely forgot about adactio’s book on service workers and tracked it down.
# 
gRegor I'm back at indiebookclub posting UI updates and would appreciate any feedback: https://gregorlove.com/2026/07/i-took-a-second/

[capjamesg] The GitHub menu on the left for me is showing a pancake emoji…
# [capjamesg] Ah, it’s an easter egg for a product announcement: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/how-tos/stacked-pull-requests

# girlonthemoon [capjamesg]: lol i saw the pancakes earlier, i was curious but didn't look into it

# tdrayson was thinking about connecting it up to my t4r.to domain for ultra short shareable links
# tdrayson Hey [tantek], you have something similar for your articles where you convert a url into some sort of weird hexidecimal letters and numbers for a logically url shortener?
# IWDiscord <tdrayson>
# tdrayson just for a bit of fun :D,
# tdrayson I like the idea of no database checking redirect thats based on logic rather than random chars.

# gRegor mattl did something like that with anchor links: https://mat.tl/s/
# Loqi Whistle is an algorithmic link shortener used on at least one IndieWeb site https://indieweb.org/Whistle

# rMdes such as, RSC https://rmdes..be --> https://rsc.rmdes.be - still very much in progress but I'm having a lot of fun & learning
