Notes
Welcome to Homebrew Website Club!
- These are our show notes.
- https://artlung.com/blog/2024/05/29/the-web-is-better/ - the code itself is https://gist.github.com/artlung/49b96f3800a4498922da2f5aa6144b23 - the code is not simple because to do "dynamic HTML" at the time one had to write multiple paths for code
- Template:Ros was inspired by a talk by Kathy Sierra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Sierra who talks about stages of learning and moving more of our knowledge to the "autopilot" part of our brains. She has been using CodePen to experiment with different treatments to various kinds of images
- Joe Crawford pointed to some CSS changes he has done and to his front page at https://artlung.com/ and to photos he absorbed into WordPress - e.g. https://artlung.com/photos/physics/
- Looking at progress across time is compelling for people!
- capjamesg has a new build process for his site https://jamesg.blog/2024/05/27/designing-aurora/; and a new search engine which can attach to a single website https://jamesg.blog/2024/05/29/nanosearch/
- Book Ros is reading Meganets https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/david-b-auerbach/meganets/9781541774445/
- Reminiscing on instant messenger clients
- MSN Messenger was popular in NZ and Ecuador, as was ICQ.
- https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/25/24164579/icq-shut-down-june "ICQ will stop working from June 26th,"

- via social media page
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestreaming " is an act of documenting and sharing aspects of one's daily experiences online, via a lifestream website that publishes things of a person's choosing (e.g. photos, social media, videos)."
- the Twitter of 2006 really did allow and enable more personal expression, almost as a reaction to blogging, which had become somewhat gatekept, with its own "performance" expectations
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Nobody!_Who_are_you%3F
- The website I found this on: https://innig.net
- "Things can be a different way"
- the power of setting a good example

Rainbow first letter drop caps (and link styling!)
Post creation discussion:
View Source
view-source:
is a pseudo-protocol that can be used in Firefox or Chrome to pull up source rather than Developer Tools.
View source code higlighting
- can click on CSS and JS links inside HTML View Source in Firefox and it works!
- Feature request bug for View Source CSS code highlighting: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352331
benji demonstrates his Micropub/Clients:
Bookmarks
- https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks
- Tantek Γelik - I use a synced plain text file list of links, with a heading for each new date
- https://ln.ht/
- Joe Crawford has a notion for an IndieWeb pop-up to discuss solutions for the problem of managing links, private, public, syncing across devices, finding links visited - look for an event potentially in June
