#
fafau06 [tantek]: i really like the vibes of the poster! but the alternating solid/outline layout kinda confused me a bit, the poster overall just make my eyes jump around all over.
#
fafau06 maybe it's better to combine them both somehow? like say only the header is solid but the content is outlined.
#
fafau06 maybe it'll also be better to sort them based on their play time too, because having something like "7pm > 10pm > 5pm" in that order is just really confusing

yanglake__ valerieflynn[d] its a web host but its been bad recently, major CVEs, AWS dependency and AI
#
yanglake__ and i really dont need to host a webapp, my site is just a static site
#
valerieflynn Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining.
#
valerieflynn What hosting are you thinking of switching to? I know the wiki has recommendations
#
valerieflynn Or a list of options

gRegor [tantek]: very rough, but here's some ideas I had for that schedule grid: https://gregorlove.com/lab/2026-09-09-schedule-grid.html

#
tdrayson This could be really interesting for people who have static sites - https://github.com/statamic/sidecar
#
tdrayson currently it only supports a few SSG's, but looks like Astro, Hugo and others are coming soon. But the idea is you could use the beautiful Statamic control panel to edit your markdown files with a lovely editor interface without needing to use/integrate laravel / statamic.
#
tdrayson kind of like a bring your own site to an editor kind of setup

[mikemai2awesom] > *We need to go beyond WCAG minimum.* Heck, go beyond APCA minimum. Especially for text, buttons, links, and interactive elements. Explore UX-friendly, colour-blind checked, _and_ compliant colours.
#
[mikemai2awesom] (moving from general to this dev specific channel)
#
[mikemai2awesom] this is a great write-up. there's too much hype around APCA (Accessible Perceptual Contrast Algorithm) right now. please note that is not part of the WCAG and will not be in v3.0 as it currently stands. don't use APCA as your justification in production work. https://www.jessicaoddi.com/saved/contrast-enhanced
#
[mikemai2awesom] i love this bit specially:
barnaby, cotsuka and [Zephyr] joined the channel
#
[Zephyr] is there a public repository for http://events.indieweb.org? i have a feature request that i wouldn't mind implementing, but if there's just the issue tracker that's fine too!
#
[Zephyr] (the homebrew website club i organize happens on the first sunday of the month, but the recurring event options only work for 'on the Xth of the month')
#
[artlung] It's built on Meetable. https://github.com/aaronpk/Meetable (link at bottom) and then this: https://github.com/indieweb/events.indieweb.org (for reporting issues)
#
[Zephyr] oho, many thanks [artlung] ++ !

[artlung] aaronpk I finally stopped pointing http://ownyourgram.com at your server. https://ownyourgram.com
#
aaronpk oh man, i totally forgot about that
#
[artlung] (me too, I've been reviewing all my domains and what they do. it's a rather good exercise). Looks like all told I am responsible for 54 domains
#
[aciccarello] Wow. 54 is a lot...
#
[aciccarello] I'm up to 3
#
[aciccarello] I tried to get instagram POSSE posting via https://posseparty.com/ working for my site but got blocked by an issue with Meta's test account registration
#
[artlung] I'd love a term for the way silos fight with people attempting to cross-post/POSSE/PESOS. then cataloging the horrorshow that is keeping up with those APIs.
#
[artlung] "silo posse antagonism" "silos hate openness" "silo interop hate"

#
[snarfed] and, oh man, counting domains. smart, awful, important, cursed
#
[artlung] I wish I had a history of the domains I've been responsible for, but then again, NO
#
[snarfed] lol
#
[snarfed] let's see...I have... 10
#
[snarfed] all but one at gandi. they were great for a long time, but sadly their pricing has enshittified since the acquisition. I need to move somewhere, but haven't found the right place yet. Cloudflare seems good except no .gy yet 😆
#
[snarfed] https://indieweb.org/ccTLD#Criticism is very apropos

#
morganwebdev @mikemai2awesome Just an evergreen reminder re APCA, AI Summaries that pop up regularly claim its a de facto replacement or next in line to replace WCAG Contrast criteria... presumably because of the creator of APCA publishes a lot of stuff to the web saying as such
#
morganwebdev Jess's article is really good thanks for sharing!

[0x3b0b] I let a bunch of .science domains I wasn't using expire recently. Mostly slant puns on either being blinded or rockets.
