Hey, ruricolist isn't on the mastodon, are they? I kinda want to use #spinneret (https://github.com/ruricolist/spinneret still on github I guess :( ). Does anyone else have any strong html generator feelings? #commonLisp #webdev #web0
JAMstack is an entirely unnecessary term #Development #Webdev #Javascript
Boom! Lead with the hot take. JAMstack: JavaScript, API and Markup — it's not novel, it was never new and it incorporates foundational parts of the web. JavaScript? Yep — always had that. Markup? You betcha. APIs? We've written those for a long time. We still can and still do. In this context though? You're not writing the API, you're...

I added a fun new design element to my site for this post. I had a chunk of text and 2 audio examples that I wanted to include near the beginning as an aside (so the interesting audio didn't get buried under technical discussion), and I like how the styling for the <aside> element turned out.

What looked like a bit of background noise turned out to be a DDoS attack against the ScummVM website.
Anubis truly saved the day. Read the full story here:

It's production deployment day, which means a great time for a surprise error. This time the step merging #Docker compose files together is inserting quotes around a number for the mode of a secret, then can't deploy because that's supposed to be a number rather than a string.
2.5 hours so far of trying to stop it from inventing quotes or at least to remove them again afterward, with no real progress.
Real-time error diffusion dithering between 3 colors in a JS canvas (in my web OS).
There was actually no need for complex color calculations. Instead, creating a "dither map" using R, G, B, A channels, and then swapping out colors.

There's a really simple thing you can do to encourage more organisations to set up accounts on Mastodon.
The next time you post a link to Mastodon, just put this UTM code at the end of the URL:
?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
So for example:
https://that90ssite.neocities.org/
Becomes:
https://that90ssite.neocities.org/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
Why?
Well, because the website owners are almost certainly using an analytics platform to track where their traffic comes from.
And if the organisation is big enough to have a social media manager, they're almost certainly looking at how much traffic social media posts are generating.
And this stuff gets reported up the organisational hierarchy.
If you add ?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social to the end of your URLs, suddenly Mastodon begins appearing in those reports.
Now, let's suppose on a given day they post their Facebook and X/Twitter links and a couple of hundred people click on it, because it's obvious spam.
Meanwhile, you post a link on Mastodon with the UTM code, and it's shared, snd a couple of thousand people click on it.
Perhaps they should look into investing more resources into Mastodon?

Decided it would be fun to collect a list of folks who have gone down the rabbit hole of making their own website builders (static site generator, or whatever)

Stalwart Email Setup via @netopwibby #Development #Webdev #Tech #Email
Stalwart is an all‑in‑one mail server built for JMAP, the ultra‑modern email standard we should be using but the tech industry is cowardly and hella slow to move. Anyhoo! I recently setup a new mail server with Stalwart because updating my aging Mail‑in‑a‑Box instance was unappealing and I wanna use cool new things like JMAP....

Version 0.2.0 of #teskooano is out!
Read about the release and the new #webComponent #JavaScript #framework I've written - now live on the site!

Another way #Patreon is broken, web design wise. I have no idea how, but every time I visit the website on mobile, it's in a different language. I try to switch back to English, but the dialog menu that pops up at the bottom doesn't register a VoiceOver double tap, so I can't view anything on my phone, and I've tried looking for a URL that redirects to English but Patreon is basically a mobile app instead of a website. Ugh!
I'm sure I am not the only disabled person that keeps key links handy so I don't have to go navigating your atrocious web design. With Patreon though, it seems as though only 2% of it is a website with URLs. #WebDev
Well now look what you’ve gone and done! You’ve spilt JavaScript all over my lovely semantic HTML. Dammit! It leaked onto my CSS as well.
Go grab a cloth and clean up this mess.
Can't believe it took me so long to hop on this train :O

Does anyone have a good way to create a reasonable visual layout for a mastodon archive of posts? Say like a styled rss feed with post text and thumbnails, and maybe paginated. I'd like a section on my website with at least some of the posts from my other masto acct, searchable via Grav search.
Remember years ago when people (me) used to put those badges on their sites to show they had valid HTML or WCAG AA?
I'm going to start putting those in again. They remind me of a simpler time.
