Update on my big Hugo theme redesign! I asked the folks at #Indieweb #HomeBrewWebsiteClub today for some feedback on my new footer and got some really useful advice!

Here's the redesigned footer so far (before the advice). If anyone has more feedback, I'm all ears! 😊 I'll add the v2 screenshot when it's ready.

Thanks to @ross, Angelo https://ragt.ag/, @vanderwal, Mike https://michaelkupietz.com for giving me feedback. 🙏

Homebrew Website Club - Pacific

At today's #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club: Pacific online meeting, we discussed how to track books and reading habits.

Some people, like Nick, tracks books manually: https://social.lol/@nsmsn/115824912511030742

And others like @joel uses #Bookwyrm + a manual blog page https://joelchrono.xyz/bookshelf

I'm also considering using Bookwyrm and restart my book tracking.

Ich habe es endlich geschafft, meinen Artikel zum #HomeBrewWebSiteClub zu finalisieren, auf den ich jetzt, sollte es ncohmal zu einer Vorstellungsrunde kommen sollte, verweisen werde.

Es ist die Historie zu meiner Domain (ohne Bilder) bzw. Personal Publishing.

I'll be attending the Americas region meeting of the homebrew website club tonight! Fittingly I learned of this event when I found my site had been accessed by a federated account reposting posts with the #indieweb hashtag.

Last week at a #HomebrewWebsiteClub session^1 I pointed out that I was working on implementing a “simple” way to support embeds of my notes, that is, make my short notes embeddable, like how people embed tweets or toots. I noted that to keep it as simple as possible while being flexible to implementation changes, I planned to implement three things: 1. A separate “embed” version of my post permalinks, with just the entry information (no header, nav, search, sidebar, footer etc.), embeddable via copy/paste or an iframe. 2. A way to “Follow Your Nose” discover that separate embed version 3. A way to discover the original post from the embedded version For (1) a minimal h-entry, with perhaps a little bit of inline CSS would suffice. For (2) I proposed using “rel=embed” which I’ve subsequently written up briefly^2. For (3) The obvious existing answer is rel=canonical link from the embed version to the canonical post permalink. Soon thereafter, several folks in the #IndieWeb community went ahead and implemented such embeds for their own sites, and even the https://libre.fm/ open scrobbling service! https://indieweb.org/embed#IndieWeb_Examples I have yet to implement it myself, and that’s fine. This is one of the things I appreciate about the community, we can share our plans and ideas for improving things on our own sites, and if someone else does it first, that's great! We celebrate it and explore the solution space together. Got other ideas for simple embeds? Want to implement them on your own site?

UPDATE: What about oEmbed? tl;dr: oEmbed requires JS and backend code, more work and unsuitable for embeds from static site hosting (like GitHub pages).

A simple HTML method is accessible to many more independent publishers and easier to implement. More: https://tantek.com/2024/306/t2
