Notes
Joe
- Joe is looking at his mostly-old site and seeing if there's a way to modernize it https://lab.artlung.com/
- It's a site that started in 1999 or so
- Has had additions made over time
- Is a mess, could use tools to organize it
- Code is in private repo in github, take steps for accountability
- https://github.com/artlung/lab.artlung.com now public
- tagged the original code, download existing code, commit to repo
- Cleanup markup - done
- Continue using disqus - yes
- Allow webmentions? added to all pages
- Make site more navigable? sort of
James
- James fixed his blog post publishing tool at https://jamesg.blog/create/
Reilly
- Reilly updated their Eleventy blog posts to use templates (https://www.11ty.dev/docs/data-template-dir/) for a whole directory instead of needing to specify in each post. This will hopefully make it easier to update things later on
- Also interested in displaying tags as links:
- Found a useful discussion of this: https://community.piccalil.li/t/calling-all-eleventy-collections-automatically-in-separate-figures/275?u=mathieu-huot
- How to paginate tag pages: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/quicktips/tag-pages/
- Done! Links are clickable and go to separate tag pages: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/2024/11/connecting-notation-programs-to-maxmsp/
- Also interested in displaying tags as links:
- https://reillyspitzfaden.com/tags/indieweb/ the width of the content is a bit narrow
- Problem was `width: fit-content;` in CSS
- Met a stretch goal! Added search with https://pagefind.app/docs/
- Example: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/blog/
Tantek
- Tantek Γelik did some digging into Nunjucks, and added it to the template page in a list
- apparently used by https://protocol.mozilla.org/ - design system for Mozilla websites, but open to others to use
- Tantek Γelik found this template linter: https://www.curlylint.org/
- Had coffee with Pablo IRL during the call
Morgan:
- https://www.morganwebdev.org/urls/ - New page on my website
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Speculation_Rules_API using the speculation rules script tag
- Added a new page to celebrate Create Day: https://www.morganwebdev.org/posts/speculation-refresh/
gRegor Morrill
- βοΈ Got inspired by Reilly's project to finally add a tags page: https://gregorlove.com/tags/
- Included a fun bit at the top which loads a random HTML tag, then followed by the actual *post* tags you were probably looking for
- TODO: need to link up tags from individual posts
- TODO: update tag permalinks to show event posts
Misc
- COFFEE: Dont buy today, but consider buying... https://us.moccamaster.com/ I got one years ago and its served me so well
