[tantek] One of the (few) email newsletters I receive uses the heading "What We're Reading" for links to external relevant articles which struck me as more appealing than say "Posts about the IndieWeb". I'm thinking some copy-editing of our This Week newsletter headings might be more encouraging for folks to listen/read

#
[tantek] e.g. "Podcasts" -> "What We’re Listening To"
#
[tantek] "Posts about the IndieWeb" -> "What We're Reading"
#
[tantek] What do people think?
#
[tantek] Separately, what do folks think about putting a representative emoji at the start of the heading?
#
[tantek] right now the newsletter looks very "lines of text heavy" e.g. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2023-11-10.html
#
[aciccarello] I like the "What we're ___" titles

#
[davidmead] I think that’s a good idea tantek
#
[aciccarello] I feel mixed about the emoji in titles. I'm not sure at what point people who use screen readers find that annoying (could hide via aria).
#
[davidmead] emoji + more approachable headins
#
[aciccarello] I wonder if some typography improvements could help differentiate the headings too.
#
[tantek] ok I'll write up a PR and paste a link

[aciccarello] Oh, I've been wanting to see the bay of lights parade
#
gRegor I went several years ago and it was fun.
#
gRegor There's apparently one in Mission Bay on the 9th, too.

#
gRegor I should check if I have a picture of this, near the start of the parade one of the big cruise ships was leaving so it blocked the parade for a few moments and had all it's lights on too. It was quite funny.
#
[aciccarello] lol
