schepp Presentations of the Indie Web Camp Düsseldorf 2025 are about to kick off
# schepp [tantek] is doing the intro and mentioning the event's etherpad where people wrote down what they wanted to achieve today
# schepp [tantek] also goes first with presenting his results. He did some house keeping stuff.
# schepp One thing he wanted to do today was to port his polyglot (JS/PHP) parsing libraries to PHP 8, which he did together with [schepp] and he succeeded. And he likes PHP 8 very much as it's a lot faster.
# schepp The other project he had was to write a tool that would parse out ISBN numbers from a text and replace the text with the cover image of the corresponding book from openlibrary.
# schepp And he succeeded with that, too. He developed a regex which would match all kinds of variations of writing down an ISBN
# schepp Next presenter is [dave] who spontaneously joined the Indie Web Camp today
# schepp Dave upgraded his personal website's static site generator to eleventy 3.0.1 and ES modules
# schepp He then proceeded to have a change log automatically compiled into a list of changes
# schepp Netx up is [callum] who also spontaneously joined this morning
# schepp He focused on his personal web page which he built with Kirby CMS and which he likes to be as accessible as poissble.
# schepp Today he took care of a lot of little things that he improved, like better markup for all the places that display dates
# schepp He also moved certain things around to make it better for people who like to change their font size
# schepp Next up is [daniel] / Daniel Pietzsch. He connected his page to a WebSub hub in order to be able to send push notifications about updates to subscribers
# schepp How that works is that during the build process (Jekyll) a POST request is ent to the hub which then proceeds to fetching the website's feed to discover new items and notify subscribers about those
# schepp Next up is [jkphl].
# schepp He was experimenting with methods to try to make his personal website more sustainable (even though it is a pretty simple one-pager)
# schepp First he was playing around with different kinds of tools to measure the page's co2 footprint in order to be able to quantify progress he makes
# schepp He found all kinds of tool that do that, like ecograder or the built-in Firefox energy profiler
# schepp He found that the resuts of all these tools are rather flaky
# schepp He started with 8 requests with 235 KB
# schepp First thing was to recompress the image in another format (WebP) and he also replaced two fonts with one variable font.
# schepp He then proceeded to implement three different (dispaly) modes for his site. The first two were light and dark mode, to which he added a black and white "eco" mode
# schepp Reason being that OLED display use less energy the more black something is
# schepp The black & white mode also allowed him to further compress the image by leaving away all color
# schepp Next up is Matthias Ott who also joined spontaneously today
# schepp He tried to fix a bug in a Web Mention plugin for Craft CMS
# schepp A few years back when he joined his first IWC, he created a Web Mention plugin for Cratf CMS 2
# schepp Since then he didn't update it, but recently got contacted by the Craft CMS creator himself who wanted to update the plugin together with Matthias
# schepp They released it in March
# schepp One of the improvements were the view in the backend
# schepp Brandon, that creator did most of the programming, while Matthias helped with his knowledge about Web Mentions and edge cases
# schepp Matthias then proceeds to show all the "quality of life" improvements that went into the new version of it
# schepp Next up is Jakob
# schepp He created a tic tac toe game that he embedded on his page and that would store data in local storage
# schepp He also wrote down a looong list of ideas and things to do
# schepp Finally we have [schepp] who showed off a Tantek syntax (http://tantek.pbworks.com/w/page/59905776/Markdown) to HTML converter which he hacked together in a very short time with the help of ChatGPT
