a structural diff tool that understands syntax

This month, we’ll be rolling out an experimental early version of “federation,” or the feature that makes the network so open and customizable. On Bluesky, you’ll have the freedom to choose (and the right to leave) instead of being held to the whims of private companies or black box algorithms. And wherever you go, your friends and relationships can go with you.

The Iconfactory historically makes good apps, and this looks like a cool project, so I backed it.

This is cool! I’d love to make something like this hooked up to the Spotify or Last.fm API to be autogenerated, and have it create a feed.

To have a personal website is, presently, an act of rebellion. It is a statement. You are saying: I want to define my experience on the web.

The IndieWeb is for everyone, everyone who wants independence from organizations, independence of agency to associate, and who embraces the web of humans that want to interconnect, to communicate, to value and respect each other, whether one degree apart or thirty.

Tool for discovering new feeds

Rich made a video showcasing how to build a dynamic Gutenberg block with the help of ChatGPT

Minimalist Mastodon interface. I like how the Boosts are separated out from the rest of the feed into their own section.

This like brought to you by WeWork. Terrible place to get work done, good kombucha on tap.

Reading/Library page inspiration. One of my original versions of my reading page included the book covers, but I found that getting them was a hinderance to me posting what I was reading. I often update my reading page from my phone as soon as I finish a book.

A powerful story about reckoning with previous generations, breaking the cycle, speaking up, and the personal cost of standing up to evil.

The part about A loving the process of the coin flip made me smile 🙂

This is why I proposed the Blog Archive format (.bar) back in 2017. It’s essentially a ZIP file with all the posts and images for your blog. It uses JSON and HTML. There is nothing in it that is specific to any one blog platform, but it’s easy to extend with your own data if needed.
