[Murray] Kinda surprised Zach's web component doesn't do that already

[tantek] My gift for the gift calendar today, hopefully someone will find it helpful with getting unstuck to post: https://tantek.com/2024/337/t1/why-what-how-to-post

Loqi [preview] [Tantek Çelik] This is a summary curation of prior posts of mine on why post, what to post, and how to post, as well as some bits I wrote on the #IndieWeb wiki. This post assumes you already have a blog — if you don’t have one and wonder why you should, that’...

Kolev Hi all. So IndieWeb is built on WordPress, basically?
[lazcorp] joined the channel
#
[lazcorp] Kolev - no, there are plenty of us who don't use WordPress
#
Kolev [lazcorp], well, right now, I use a static site generator on a subdirectory on someone else's web server.
#
[lazcorp] I know there are quite a few people here who use Static Site Generators for their sites
#
Loqi hey Kolev, [lazcorp], we try to keep dev talk (site generator, static site generator, static site generators) out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
immibis the channel policing is stupid btw
#
immibis hey immibis, we try to keep meta talk out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-meta?
klymilark and FaRiD joined the channel
#
[tantek] immibis, there are good reasons why each channel has been created and scoped over the years. If the scope in #indieweb or Loqi's nudging or number of channels bothers you, please consider departing the ones that are deliberately scoped like that and focus on the ones that speak to your preferred topics like in #indieweb-dev
antranigv, MyNetAz and claudinec joined the channel; FaRiD left the channel
#
[tantek] What is get started?
#
Loqi 🎉 Get started on the indieweb by connecting with the IndieWeb community, getting a personal domain, a place for your content, and setting up your home page and other IndieWeb essentials https://indieweb.org/Get_Started
#
[tantek] ^ Kolev, plenty of options there, and yes WordPress is one among many options
#
[tantek] What is plurality?
#
Loqi ✨ Encouraging a plurality of projects with a self-motivated incentive to interoperate is a key principle of the indie web, in contrast to monoculture efforts which require or even encourage everyone to install the same software, or use the same online service, in order to interoperate https://indieweb.org/plurality
#
[tantek] ^ that may be helpful too Kolev. Indieweb is not built on any one software project but rather encourages many options that interoperate through open standards
chomwitt, wobbol and Pixi` joined the channel
#
immibis [tantek]: what are the reasons?
#
[tantek] immibis, read https://indieweb.org/discuss#indieweb and as you yourself pointed out, please follow up with any further questions about channel purpose in #indieweb-meta. Appreciated!
#
[tantek] What is the gift calendar?
#
