[tantek] no worries! we've all be hacking away. project ideas in the day 2 etherpad

GWG I completely lost track of time.
#
Loqi [New Event] david.shanske.com created "Apr 25, 2026 3:30pm IWC 2026 Dusseldorf Demos" https://events.indieweb.org/rA8lxDrmr3mV

#
[tantek] fixed the date, that's why I missed it
#
GWG I think that is a bug...I added the event now...I thought it would default to today,.
#
GWG But, either way, should have looked

#
[capjamesg] Testing live on Edge
#

[capjamesg] Discussion led to thinking more about blogging instead of focusing on social platforms like bsky and mastodon

[capjamesg] “still works! that’s always a good thing!”
#
[capjamesg] has date archives which aren’t linked anywhere
#
[capjamesg] but if you trim the URL you see posts from a given day
#
[capjamesg] date is now at the top of archive pages
#
[capjamesg] when user goes forward to a page without entries, the page used to be blank
#
[capjamesg] now has a title for better usability
#
[capjamesg] archive doesn’t go into the future
#
[capjamesg] takes the user back to their home page
#

#
[capjamesg] Jo added styling to their web feed using XSLT
#
[capjamesg] https://dead.garden/blog/feed.xml
#
GWG [capjamesg]: I was wondering why you referred to yourself in the third person
#
GWG [tantek] should have written it as you.
#
GWG Suddenly sad that the Salmon of Doubt was never really finished.
#
[capjamesg] no longer automatically downloads xml file which was not good user experience
#
[capjamesg] jo showing terminal
#

[capjamesg] Built for personal use.
#
[capjamesg] Wants to create a network of knowledge.
#
[capjamesg] Has guiding principles — progressive enhancement, local-only, schemaless, plain formats, atomic multi-file operations
#
[capjamesg] Obsidian is a bit too low-tech for personal taste
#
[capjamesg] Made presentation to sort thoughts
#
[capjamesg] Could include information about people, concepts, books, interviews, etc.
#
[capjamesg] Wants network to be expansive; not limited.
#
[capjamesg] Building five layers —
#
[capjamesg] 0 - raw data
#
[capjamesg] 1 - parser and graph
#
[capjamesg] 2 - semantic search
#
[capjamesg] 3 - ai dialogue

#
[capjamesg] lots of photos!
#
Loqi [preview] Dave Letorey
#
[capjamesg] talks about the kettle here at sia
#
[capjamesg] red = boiling, green = ready
#
[capjamesg] added flickr embed
#
[capjamesg] embed creates lots of code and has carousels
#
[capjamesg] carousels create hidden content; nobody can see the other data without knowing the action to flick to hext item
#
[capjamesg] *next item
#
[capjamesg] step further into turning carousel into a grid of images
#
[capjamesg] planning to use masonry
#
[capjamesg] Jeremy is up next
#
[capjamesg] Changed hosts recently; audio posts had to be moved somewhere else with custom URL
#
[capjamesg] Working on fixing audio links(?)
#
[capjamesg] Working on webmention support on website
#
[capjamesg] Has been using webmention heroku app which delivers webmentions but has limitations for display

#
[capjamesg] Has been working on webmention display too
#
[capjamesg] Now shows profile pictures of people who sent webmentions
#
[capjamesg] Has overlay icons which indicate the kind of like
#
[capjamesg] If no image available from webmention sender, generates icon with furst letter of author
#
[capjamesg] All webmentions are displayed consistently as a result
#
[capjamesg] Added http://brid.gy support for mastodon
#
[capjamesg] IWC 2025 shows webmention from mastodon
#

#
[capjamesg] shows replies to webmentions that were received via bridgy
#
[capjamesg] if post is mentioned on bluesky, mastodon, etc, gets notification via bridgy
#
[capjamesg] replies are displayed on personal website
#
[capjamesg] webmentions can be hard to implement in a way; lots of edge cases, markup styles
#
[capjamesg] webmentions would fail a lot
#
[capjamesg] last month built a tool that lists failed webmentions in the back-end
#
[capjamesg] gives visibility as to why a given webmention did not work
#
[capjamesg] good debugging tool
#
[capjamesg] added validation check before something is added to the queue
#
[capjamesg] is this a valid url?
#
[capjamesg] was the check
#
[capjamesg] screens for sql injection signs
#
[capjamesg] failed check = not added to queue
#
[capjamesg] Some webmentions fail because no at:// support.
#
[capjamesg] now automatically converts at:// urls to http urls
#
[capjamesg] wouldn’t have discovered without the debugging tool
#
[capjamesg] Jakob is up next
#
[capjamesg] Worked on page on subdomain
#
[capjamesg] Created https://events.bollenz.de
#
[capjamesg] went from spreadsheet to json
#
[capjamesg] json = maybe not fun?
#
[capjamesg] but at least he can access the data anywhere via the web
#
[capjamesg] lists concerts he wants to attend
#
[capjamesg] page currently shows examples
#
[capjamesg] has past events page
#
[capjamesg] has ideas for improvement in the future
#
[capjamesg] maybe a toggle on the front end to filter by bought ticket vs. maybe vs. would love to go
#
[capjamesg] interested in there being a login instead of managing the data directly
#
[capjamesg] one more thing…
#
[capjamesg] linkin park will be yellow and should say “would love to go”
