📝 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...

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.

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?

🔗 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....

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

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.
