is there a coffee shop out there where you can buy an entire pot of coffee??

paris hilton as the deepest ADHD advocate is the 2025 hero i didn't know i needed

Which PhD out there is going to write the thesis on the ontological instability of Slack emoji in the context of corporate mergers and acquisitions ... think this may be unexplored and yet sooo rich

i think my deepest "authority issues" thing remaining is just REFUSING to order coffee in branded size terms

This is a test.

I am ashamed and very sorry to admit that I love(??) Meta Vibes™️ especially because the comments on good posts are just straight up like "Good Slop!"

💗 the software doesn't actually exist yet for this one! I am trying docs (instead of code) as a starting point. So, interested to hear your thoughts on if you'd use this and how (ideally) something like this would work for you.

@stelar@mas.to ended up going with indiekit, 11ty, github actions … so far so good! but still noodling

Today's Indiekit progress:

1. Made a bunch of new Github Issues here: github.com
2. Researched and tested micropub clients, but didn't find any that I really love: indieweb.org
3. Fixed timezone (UTC → EST)
4. (Partially) implemented Webmentions using webmention.io
5. Compared Indiekit’s JSON feed plugin with 11ty’s RSS feed, ended up going with 11ty
6. Setup Bridgy for backfeeding webmentions from social platforms (Mastodon, Bluesky, Flickr, Github) but not sure it's fully implemented yet
7. Experimented with a SvelteKit/Vercel/Neon fork instead of 11ty + IndieKit

Testing outgoing webmentions

Testing if my timezone fix worked github.com

Quill is a simple Micropub client for creating posts on your own website.

Made a lot of progress on my Indiekit site today: caseyagollan.com

It wasn’t super intuitive on my first go to understand which repository structure to use from the docs.

But looking at Paul’s site, I found that it would be better to create a separate content repository.

I also realized I should separate the "Kit" repository from the static 11ty site accessed by users. The Indiekit application is really content management and a bunch of server-side functions that deal with syndication, webmentions, etc. So I moved the 11ty logic to the main caseyagollan.com site.

I referenced simonw’s site a bunch which is visually pretty basic but has a very thoughtful IA if you look closely at the construction of archive pages, post grouping, and display of metadata.

I customized the post slugs because the Indiekit/11ty preset defaults didn’t match the IA from Simon which I liked.

I also referenced Paul’s site for an example of how to configure 11ty using git submodules to load content from a separate repository.

It's working! But the posts looked bad. Some like bookmarks were actually empty. So also added post display types based on each Indiekit post type.

Did some more stuff that I already forgot. Will write more soon!

Testing new indiekit config...
