The individual event pages have timezone information (i.e. https://events.indieweb.org/2023/09/homebrew-website-club-eu...). I'm not sure why the homepage doesn't.Our next meetup is online on Wednesday, with events on Europe and US timezones (https://events.indieweb.org). No need to RSVP; just show up!
Have you viewed source on my site? You'll see a few comments along the way. I wanted to write my site in such a way that someone new to the web could take a look and learn how the HTML works on the page.
All credit for the badge goes to the wonderful https://notbyai.fyi/.
I have a question about https://wordsandbuttons.online/lexical_differential_highligh.... What does this part mean:
> Ideally, the smaller the lexical difference, the greater the color difference should be.
I am fascinated by different ways to represent code visually.
The layout of your recipes and the focus on the process without extraneous information makes me want to learn more about cooking. I have always been scared off by recipe sites. Your site looks like a great entry point for me.
A lot of IndieWeb events have been hosted in Germany.
There is an event called Beyond Tellerrand (btconf) hosted in Düsseldorf and Berlin every year, hosted by Marc and his amazing team (unaffiliated with Homebrew Website Club).
The IndieWeb sometimes hosts host events before or after Beyond Tellerrand conferences (I was at last year's Berlin btconf and IndieWeb event). I know it is a long journey from Nürnberg to those cities but both btconf and the IndieWeb events are both amazing ways to spend a few days if you love the web.
P.S. I love Billions, which at the time of writing is highlighted on your homepage.
> it was clear that social networks like Twitter and Facebook had taken over as our primary channel
There are a lot of people in the IndieWeb who care about, and are working toward, building different ways to interact on the web. I follow blogs and people with Monocle (https://monocle.p3k.io), a social reader powered by Microsub (draft spec) and Micropub (https://indieweb.org/Micropub)
I can like posts on websites in my feed then the likes show up on my bookmarks site (https://jamesg.coffee). If a site supports Webmention (https://indieweb.org/Webmention), the author will be notified that I liked their post.
I am always happy to talk about social interactions on the web -- there is so much work we can do!
> I spent time building a library of website 'cover art' too, which I cycle in periodically - typically when I post a new update to the blog. There's a lot more cleaning to do, but I'm happy to be actively iterating on the ol' website again.
I _love_ this!
> I don't think I could do a regular meetup
We have a lot of people who stop by for a meetup every month or two online. All interested in the web are welcome to come on whatever cadence suits you; whether you come once a week, month, or year! There is also a community chat if you prefer text at https://indieweb.org/discuss
(Apologies for all the links. As it may be noted, I get excited easily!)
A community member wrote a guide on how to add different social web standards to a Hugo site (https://www.amitgawande.com/2018/02/10/204300.html).
Your approach to using JS is like mine. I work with HTML and CSS first then sometimes add JS to progressively enhance a page (i.e. add dark mode, add hovercards on links, make emojis appear on different days of the year).
We host a Europe and US meetup online every week and every two weeks, respectively, in addition to in person events. If there isn't an in-person event near you, reach out in https://indieweb.org/discuss to see if anyone would be interested in hosting one.
The MediaWiki sparkline is powered by the same thing and https://sparkline.jamesg.blog (open source link in site footer).
h-cards are still alive and well, and are used by technologies Webmention [1] (decentralized likes, comments, bookmarks, RSVPs, and more) as a profile! My site has one :)
I'm not sure why the Brighton one has that link. I'll take a look. The challenge you mentioned -- build (or add to) a site in an hour -- will be hosted in two weeks (see events.indieweb.org for more); last time we had someone make a bookmarks page, a PNG header reader, a game with computer vision (this one was me!), a site on the Gemini protocol, and more.
Etherpad is where we take notes during sessions. It is a collaborative, open source editor.
Most of our meetings are online now, but we have a longer, two-day in-person event coming up in Nürnberg at the end of October (https://events.indieweb.org/2023/10/indiewebcamp-nuremberg-2...).
During the calls we come together to chat about websites: what you are building, what you want to build, and how you can build it! If you are interested in the web, I (and the rest of community!) would love to see you!
P.S. My site is https://jamesg.blog -- what's your domain name?
I would love if there was a "simple mode" that let you only see the titles, just like the HN homepage. There is a lot of information on the feed pages and I find it a bit overwhelming.
Also, it would be great if I didn't need an account to see the blogs, curators, and popular pages.
- Build a package manager
- Create a linter
- Build a static code analyzer / function call graph generation toolA few notes while getting it set up for macOS:
1. brew install vale
2. Create .vale.ini (in root dir, I think)
3. A minimal setup that lets you lint with Microsoft and Google style guides:
MinAlertLevel = suggestion
StylesPath = styles
Packages = Google, Microsoft
[*]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, Google, Microsoft
4. Run `vale sync` to install the Google and Microsoft style guide extensions.
5. Run 'vale {file}.md` to run the linter.The "surprisal" (information theory: Shannon information) component is doing statistical next word prediction. For example, given a corpus of data in which "data augmentation" is a common phrase, "da" could complete to "data augmentation".
"data augmentation" starts with "da", and would be determined as a likely candidate for the next word because it was common in the dataset on which the statistical model was "fine-tuned".
This Wikipedia page covers the concept in more depth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_content
