# fafau06 thinking of implementing comments on my blog (template i used support disqus but isn't that paid...) but then i stumbled to this, it's free and looks relatively new but i'm rather wary of it for some reason?
# fafau06 just wondering if anyone else have used it / have any comments

lesleylai Personally, I use comentario https://comentario.app/en/. It's a bit more heavyweight since it requires you to self-host a server.

# fafau06 ooh okay i see, thanks for the heads-up!
# fafau06 i'm already hosting my web using github pages so idt i want to go through the hassle of self-hosting (not that i even know how-to in the first place...)

Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "webmention dev" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "webmention dev is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 
[tantek] Webmention dev is /Webmention-developer
# Loqi This page documents technical details of Webmention, specifically for Webmention developers so they can support cross-site comments and other responses in their code, or on their site or service https://indieweb.org/Webmention_dev

[capjamesg] What is a footnote?
# Loqi A footnote is a typographical convention predating the web for indicating more information is available about a word, phrase, or sentence by the use of an immediately adjacent superscript (usually a number), and the presentation of the same superscript followed by a note, often a citation, in the footer of the page, and sometimes used on the web instead of inline hyperlinks to reduce reader distraction https://indieweb.org/footnote
# [capjamesg] footnote << [https://aetheranne.ca/blog/tutorials/how-to-display-footnotes-on-hover-without-javascript/ How to Display Footnotes on Hover Without JavaScript]
# Loqi ok, I added "[https://aetheranne.ca/blog/tutorials/how-to-display-footnotes-on-hover-without-javascript/ How to Display Footnotes on Hover Without JavaScript]" to the "See Also" section of /footnote https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=113276&oldid=102650

cotsuka joined the channel
# [capjamesg] Yeah! I like this implementation.
# [capjamesg] The https://flukeout.github.io/ link that osteophage put on the CSS page is so fun!

# [capjamesg] I learned quite a bit, especially toward the end with the $=, *=, and ^= attribute selectors.

# [capjamesg] It took me a little while to get through it too.
# [capjamesg] I liked that there was the help on the right hand side.
# [capjamesg] I had no idea :only-of-type existed haha.
# [capjamesg] I wonder when that would be most useful.
# WinnerWind wait seriously? i didnt even notice the right pane
cotsuka joined the channel
# [capjamesg] It took me a moment to notice too.
# [capjamesg] The design was subtle.

# [tantek] the poor design of the information in this image is bothering me (both from an aesthetic/usability design perspective, and from a personal I'd like to use this perspective) so much that I'm considering doing a redesign and hosting it at some top level page at least for me and friends that are going to the show: https://aegwebprod.blob.core.windows.net/content/portola/2026/pw-1.jpg

# [capjamesg] An interesting side effect of using GitHub Pages: you may set up a custom domain but still get the GitHub 500 error message:
# [capjamesg] I saw this when trying to load https://www.rauljimenez.info/blog/first-steps-into-the-indieweb. I’m not sure if you can customise these or not but in any case it is an interesting default case.
# 
[aciccarello] I'm guessing that's unavoidable if GH Pages is having issues.

# [capjamesg] I thought it was interesting that the error page had an entirely different design / context to the site itself.
# [social] Oh, the angry unicorn. If you run your own GitHub instance locally, the angry unicorn is a familiar site as service updates have been loaded and the service is starting to come back up. This is a different version of the angry unicorn you have found [capjamesg] as it is the GH is down angry unicorn and not one giving hope that things could soon be back up and patched and running again.
