Notes

  • Welcome to HWC!

Current IndieWeb Events

Microcasts Discussion

  • Microcast microcast
    • Listening to blogs as podcasts
      • I listen to many blog posts by having TTS read them to me ( jo)

https://granary.io/ "Granary for audio"

    • Use case: preference for listening vs. reading.
    • Take text, run text-to-speech technology to generate a podcast
    • Text -> audio / podcast with RSS
    • Shouldn't use AI
    • There may be existing accessibility tools out there that are relevant
    • This could be part of a /reader interface that lets someone run TTS on a blog post

What we're doing on our websites this week

    • Adding movie reviews to website - https://www.trovster.com/movies
      • Working with a dataset of Academy Awards movies
      • Using machine tags to navigate through films
      • Making a list of winning movies one hasn't watched
    • Simplifying things on site back-end
      • Removing code that is no longer needed
    • Working on video management with Git LFS
      • Accounting for files, are files backed up
      • Making sure the presence of files is intuitive
    • Adding code snippet line numbers
  • Similar movies / books on our personal websites
    • James wants to create pages like "Books like {book}" with my recommendations
    • Example from Zachary: https://www.roadlessread.com/books-like-nimona/
    • It's cool to see people interested in personal recommendations
    • Similar recommendations means you won't find the things that are different to something
    • "All great art takes a familiar idea and juxtaposes it with a new idea."
    • James' movie recommendations: https://jamesg.blog/movies
    • There are lots of parameters in recommending a movie
    • A friend recommending a movie may encourage you to prioritize it
  • "More static websites, please"
  • Software development practice: take a day to analyze how you could remove code that is no longer used / could be abstracted, etc.
  • Workplaces with periodic code removal - afternoons, or addressing technical debt

W3C Breakouts Day 2025:

W3C Authentic Web mini workshop was this morning:

Owning your links

  • When is it viable / appropriate to have a permanent link to something vs. a temporary link?
  • Domain names as handles (i.e. instagram.com/@example.com)
    • Interesting idea, but there are many security considerations
  • What makes a good slug?
    • Memorable
  • Idea: FrESH session for making your own /linktree or /links page
    • Putting this on the FrESH todo list
