🎷🦣 Mastoshare update — future of Mastoshare
Mastodon recently put a service that covers some Mastoshare functionality — sharing posts.
https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/116160846932470950
What that means for Mastoshare? Mastoshare was never about money, but with a goal of making better UX of Mastodon. I believe semi-centralized solution is the right way, as it has network effect — the more people use one website the easier it is for everyone.

NEW MASTODON BROWSER PLUGIN

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mastodon-hashtag-helper/cajmebgmalmdnhiemmedmnkfkahgecnp
Tried of trying to type hashtags correctly with proper capitalization? NO MORE. This plugin will track your 25 most used hashtags and add them to the post composer with 1 click. Also with edit more for easy delete from list.
Please meet Inlay - my very first #GleamLang package 🚀
It lets you embed urls for popular socials and content websites (e.g. if you include a link to a post in a Lustre component or a markdown static website, it becomes a cool looking widget)

I don't know if I will ever have a need for this 3D voxel library, but it's pretty fun to play with the demos.

Going to be redoing my website this week. I'd ideally like something lightweight and rock-solid that mostly works with static content, but I would like to have the option to add very limited eCommerce, comment form and contact form options at a later stage. WordPress seems vastly overkill for this, while I was mildly underwhelmed by #ghost last time I tried, partially due to the #accessibility of the backoffice lagging behind where I'd like it to be.
What would be good for this, something based on #astro perhaps? Eleventy? Roll my own? #webdev #indieWeb
Had a blind person tell me today, offline, that they actually hope LLMs eliminate the need to go to websites because that would mean he would never have to fight an inaccessible website again, and I'm just sad forever now. It was somewhat similar to https://www.uxtigers.com/post/accessibility-generative-ui #AI #LLM #WebDev #Accessibility

Hey #WebDev I need to recommend some web developers to a bunch of small business clients. I'd want the web developer to specialize in #Accessibility across a wide array of industries. Can you put your resume links in the replies? #Shopify knowledge is a bonus, especially if you designed your own, accessibility ready, Shopify theme. A *LOT* of these folk use Shopify. #A11y #GetFediHired #Job #Jobs

Hi, I’m Alex / Mugentoki.
Here to find people with similar brainrot: anime, manga, sci-fi, programming, games, worldbuilding, and the very bad habit of starting "just one more side project".
I’m a web dev, but slowly trying to move toward game development.
Big fan of Gintama, so expect some chaos, nonsense, unfinished ideas, and posts that probably sounded smarter in my head than they actually are
'd love to connect with similar disasters.
Okay, let me be random for a second.
This being Fedi, I know there will be someone reading this who is a chronically depressed, poly disaster transfem always narrowly avoiding poverty by being a somewhat-but-not-really successful self-employed freelance web developer, who has strong opinions about the modern web, free software, the semantic web and structured data, and who kind-of-but-not-really mourns what XHTML could have been while actually thinking HTML5 as written is kinda neat, but who is constantly forced by Society (tm) to work with React, Wordpress and awful bloated web app frameworks to create terrible, non-semantic style-first web applications for ungrateful clients.
I can't guarantee anything but let's say, I know someone who needs a static website for their business. Hypothetically, uh, where could that someone reach out to you? Paid, of course.

I was helping an open-source app become more #accessible yesterday and we ran into the problem that it looks like #screenReader Orca has a bit of a tendency to crash when exposed to webkitGTK applications. I've not done Desktop #linux for a long time and have no idea what the workarounds for this would be, does anyone know anyone who might know what's happening here? Do we need to set a random environment variable somewhere or update a specific package so this person can do basic screen reader testing on their app? #tech #openSource #screenReaders #linux #GTK #webdev
Y’hear that rumbling? Feel it? That's the seismic shift which just happened, because today…
The Bridgetown #Ruby #WebDev framework just launched our first first-party theme. 🤯
Introducing Willamette.
It's a feature-filled, highly-customizable, “from the creators who brought you Bridgetown” website theme designed initially for text-based web publishing…but we’re just getting started! 🥳
Read all the deets, try out the public beta, and let us know what you think.

Re: flat web design.
Buttons that don’t look like buttons.
I blew someone’s mind today. She’s about my age, competent at her job, but not much into technology.
She complained that she always needs to scroll past the weeks in her web-based calendar.
I pressed the current date shown in the top-left corner above her appointments, which pulled up a big date overview by month.
She was so excited, asked me how I did that.
Mind you, the date was shown as simple black letters on a white background, with only a black, downwards-pointing chevron a bit to the right. It hardly suggested interactivity, especially to those not knowledgeable about web design.
I often think that flat design was a mistake, and today’s situation was a good example of bad user experience (UX) stemming from non-intuitive controls.
I published a DRAFT of “My TiddlyWiki Customizations ⛮ (Vim key bindings, journaling, and more)”

Got to say, `license="commercial"` prop for a component is kinda weird 😅
I wrote a small blog post about some Best Practices for the Webserver Caddy. Although the header part applies basically to all webservers.
Kinda new to this whole blog thing (started on 25.), so let me know what you think :)

The amount of casual PC users telling me my website is broken *because* I don't paywall my writing nor track my users or shove a mailing list thing at them is worrying me. I know it's unconventional to have a website *not* throw popups at you every visit, but come on, this is deeply unsetteling. I can't express how many people are scared of my website *because* I don't track my users, I don't bombard them with things upon visiting. The only thing that's broken at the moment is the navigation menu button doesn’t work with JavaScript disabled, but there's a site map non JavaScript people can use. https://sightlessscribbles.com/ #WebDev

🎉 Another milestone reached: my first contribution to @Mastodon has been merged into main!
I noticed the Service Worker was broken on 4.6.0-rc.1 and recent nightlies - its code chunks were requested from the site root and returned 404, so the worker never installed. That means no push notifications and no offline cache.
On my own instance I had been keeping it alive with some hacky Dockerfile symlinks. 😅
Now there's a proper fix: a small Vite plugin that rewrites the chunk paths at build time.
Admins on 4.6-rc.1 / nightly: the fix is on its way - your Service Worker will come back to life in the next build.

RE: https://caneandable.social/@WeirdWriter/117082499715551480
People are giving up too easily. Indieweb protocols are both simple and beautiful. They are for techies right now, but we have to keep pushing to make them more widely accessible.
Astonishing how so many e-book retailers and e-bookstores are just unnecessarily bloated. I know a lot of developers are on my timeline, so let me give you a little bit of a secret. If you make a literal DRM free only bookstore retailer that only sells DRM free e-books, you would hit a gold mine without even trying to do so, and you must accept all genres. I know Smashwords exists, but there’s a reason why independent authors continue to publish work via Kindle. It’s easy. In fact, it’s so easy that even the upload process doesn’t need a lot of formatting involved. This is the key. Make it very easy to host e-books, and let authors set their prices and let publishers set their prices, and you would have a money making machine. Also, make it global. Even if publishers want to Geo restrict it. The design doesn’t have to be a torture either. Have an HTML page from the 90s that displays the book cover, the title, some buttons that do various things like choose a book format, E pub, PDF, about the book, about the author, reviews, and that’s it. It doesn’t need anything more than that. Anything more and it’s just a bloated waste of code #WebDev #Bookstodon
