tantek decides to try adding emoji to the sidebar to see if it makes it more useful/friendlier
#
tantek sl007++ for https://twitter.com/sl007/status/978615739568607233

@sl007 @EllenLWeintraub @bph @FEC @facebook @Google @Twitter @jack Funny. June 26 - June 27 is also https://indieweb.org/2018 in Portland. This is where the good guys meet to care for an independent web. They talk very friendly with each other about a people-focused alternative to the "corporate web".

#
tantek anyone have a good suggestion for an emoji for "Getting Started" ?
#
tantek hey folks take a look at the sidebar
#
tantek e.g. indieweb.org/events
#
tantek and LMK what you think! just trying it out - nothing final - feel free to suggest improvements (or even LMK if you just dislike them)
#
sknebel looks nice, even on my old emoji-challenged win8 box
#
tantek yeah I picked pretty old emojis
#
tantek and pardon the hack to indent Düsseldorf under IndieWebCamp
#
jeremycherfas Mice. Of course, to my tired old brain the emoji's don't add much, but they are pretty, and it's what the kidz need, right?
#
tantek jeremycherfas: hopefully they break up the plain text list into more recognizable items for some folks
#
jeremycherfas I'm sure you're right. And I know you're planning A/B test ... :)
#
tantek lol no. just winging it.
#
tantek but yeah, if the millenials like it, it must be good right? :)

gRegorLove If the snake people like it, it must be good.
#
Loqi gRegorLove: tantek left you a message 23 hours, 3 minutes ago: I'm tweaking https://indieweb.org/events/2018-03-21-homebrew-website-club in preparation for cloning it for April and May HWC event pages. please take a look and see if you think of any obvious improvements: https://indieweb.org/events/2018-03-21-homebrew-website-club

gRegorLove lgtm, tantek
#
tantek Sidebar, HWC, or both?
#
gRegorLove Oh, I was just looking at the HWC you told me about.
#
gRegorLove Sidebar looks good too. Is that a castle for IWC?
#
tantek for Düsseldorf yes :)
#
tantek we'll change it to a donut for Portland ;)

#
[kevinmarks] 🏁for getting started? or is that too obscure
#
[kevinmarks] purest emoji for that would be 🔰 but that's even more obscure https://emojipedia.org/japanese-symbol-for-beginner/
#
tantek wow that's super obscure
#
[kevinmarks] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-plate#Plate_designs is interesting
#
[kevinmarks] I hadn't realised that the US has no equivalent
#
tantek [kevinmarks]: I also chose the play icon for getting started because there's a bunch of video / audio / high-level articles there: https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started#Videos_and_Articles
#
[kevinmarks] that makes sense
