[aciccarello] I also have sveltia set up though I don't use it often.

# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Littlelink" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Littlelink is ____", a sentence describing the term)

ruecharli hi fafau im just going to try pinging. also i got large pixel text to align properly with no anti aliasing! it.. is not the most practical method, but visually its great and its easy to use once set up.
# ruecharli fafau06[d] <fafau06>
# ruecharli hmmm neither worked

# [niklasfyi] What do http://fed.brid.gy users do to syndicate replies to a website? Only a reply to a Bluesky post shows up in my Bluesky feed (same for Fedi). Do you do something extra to syndicate a post that is a reply to a blog post? Or do you just don't show it on your Bluesky or Fedi timeline?

# [niklasfyi] I was takling about the other way. Showing webmentions on my website works. I want to syndicate a post that I made on my page to Bluesky or Fedi. But http://fed.brid.gy only syndicates replies to the network they correspond to.

# [Trevor_Morris] tdrayson, I agree it's dev related. I'd love to hear more about your setup and how it all works. Great content for a blog post.
# tdrayson Yeah I need to get an article or colophon written up on how its all setup
# [Trevor_Morris] I see you're using Inertia, so it's Laravel based? And Tailwind.
# tdrayson Yeah Laravel backend with Tailwind and VueJS on the frontend with SSR to support microformats etc.
# [Trevor_Morris] Nice. I'm using Blade. My site has migrated through many versions, even from FuelPHP back in the day.
# [Trevor_Morris] Just noticed this, I think this link is going to the wrong place. I love the popovers, too.
# tdrayson Ooops! good catch
# tdrayson Fixed 😄
# tdrayson I migrated this site from WordPress hahah. been really enjoying Laravel recently. pretty nice dev experience as well
# tdrayson the popovers where based on the microlink api. It includes images when the page has a cover photo too

# [Trevor_Morris] I love the data, it mirrors at lot of the data I am capturing (I'd love to know which bits inspired you), but your design is better.
# [Trevor_Morris] It's given me a few ideas – I like the "drawing" of the map on activity pages.
# tdrayson your photos on the interactive map, your tagged "characters", not built yet, but I love the idea and want to add it. your heart rate, elevation charts. I also took inspiration from your activity rings, I didn't track them originally
# tdrayson The activity drawing I actually took from Strava 😅
# tdrayson Feel free to take any ideas. If you do implement anything do ping me, I’d love to see
# [Trevor_Morris] The photos on my map was inspired by Strava. I'd had the idea for ages, then an LLM made it easy. Characters is from Chris Glass ( https://chrisglass.com/characters/ ). I built a Web Component for the fitness rings, obviously Apple inspired – https://trovster.github.io/fitness-visualisations/
# tdrayson Thats good to know about Chris Glass. Gonna make a note in GH.
# tdrayson some of the stuff I built would have taken me decades to figure out. LLM's definitely helped 😄

# [Trevor_Morris] Yeah, I like a good "Bento Box" but haven't found a fit on my website. They're what Apple uses to highlight new features. Ha, there is a site devoted to them – https://bentogrids.com/
# tdrayson you sort of have it with your "bento" style gallery on the homepage. I reckon you could extend that to other components / sections.
# tdrayson the only thing I found is due to how compact they are, they're super fiddly to design/build and also making sure they scale
# IWDiscord <tdrayson>
# [Trevor_Morris] Yeah, the landscape / square / portrait can make a lovely looking grid at one specific size, but mobile/tablet designs will suffer, especially if each box is heavily art-directed and designed. Easier to change box sizes if just text, but then they don't have the visual appeal.

# ruecharli anyone have ideas as to how i could make a guestbook work without php support? note that i only need info sent to me, i dont need the users to be able to see other people's entries
lavandula joined the channel
# thamara_k I have seen some guestbooks request entries via email
# ruecharli oooh how does that work?
# thamara_k You just ask people to send you an email (which requires having your email displayed publicly — you may want to create an email address just for this if you go down this route)
# thamara_k Do you have a static site?
# thamara_k You could also use Webmentions
# thamara_k what is guestbook?
# Loqi guestbook is a way to allow visitors to your site to leave a comment about the website as a whole, instead of a comment about a specific post https://indieweb.org/guestbook
# thamara_k ^^ some examples here ruecharli
# ruecharli thank you! i would personally prefer not to just give out an email address. i'll look at some examples :p

# [aciccarello] What do people use to compress the size of videos they upload to their site? I have some short (like 30 second) clips I want to post but don't want to blow up my storage.
# [aciccarello] Cloudinary has an article on ffmpeg. Might try that

# [aciccarello] Any suggestions on codecs?
# [pcarrier] I'd lean toward AV1 with VP8 as a fallback if you care about licensing (I think you should, otherwise h264 is an even better fallback). refer to https://caniuse.com/?search=vp8 when making choices like this :)
# [pcarrier] you can compress _much_ faster through your GPU if you have one (keywords: NVENC for nvidia, VAAPI for Intel and AMD; Vulkan Video is sadly not quite consistent yet, even if it works results are often subpar)
# [pcarrier] (keywords are for Linux sorry)

# [aciccarello] Thanks, pcarrier. I probably will go with a well supported codec. I don't want to exclude older apple devices and I don't want to worry about licensing questions.
# [pcarrier] if you don't want to offer a "good" codec and a fallback codec, then VP8 is your best bet
