@endonend I finally got around to looking at importing my Crucial Tracks journal entries JSON feed into my website (using Eleventy Fetch), but it returns only the most recent 50 items. Is there a way to fetch older entries (pagination etc)?

I’ve been dedicating a huge amount of time to open-source work as of late, but working for free without any return isn’t sustainable.

I’m providing the services I do at a fiscal loss, so please do consider supporting me. I’d really very much appreciate it.

Looking at my feed this morning, I decided I need a follow policy of sorts. When I joined Mastodon, this wasn’t necessary. My new policy: I'll still follow back anyone who follows me. But if you start uncritically promoting LLMs, I'll unfollow you. Why? Because it signals your work is derivative. I won't find original insights or be able to cheer on your efforts. For new follows, I'll scan your feed first. If a majority of posts boost vibe coding/designing/writing, whatever, I'll block you.

A few years ago I made this random fish generator for a colleague: https://strudel.org.uk/fish/

Amy had been making abstract graphical fish and we realised that we could create lots of different fish by moving 10 control points (two for the nose, two for the start of body, two for the end of body, two for the start of the tail and two for the end of tail) up and down and applying random patterns/colours.

I'm building a website about a set of historical events. I want to create a basic timeline. All I need it to do is show different overlapping date ranges and individual events with bars and points (in this case, to compare reigns of Popes, Kings, and Bishops and associated events). It would be nice if it were lightweight and accessible with few or no dependencies; the purer the HTML and CSS, the better.

I'm building with #11ty; if I'm able to use a NodeJS library to parse data and make it more static for the client (via a shortcode), that would be great.

I've tried using Vis.JS, but it it is a rather heavy library and is trying too hard to be smart--it's resizing some of the shorter time periods, which means the labels get hiddden. I've also tried Timesheet.js, which is the aesthetic I'm going for, but it seems to not work with long periods of time and struggles to be responsive.

Example of the genre I'm looking for for: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PriestleyChart.gif
