  As one of the fourteen who answered @bbbhltz’s recent survey, I can now confess I was a light mode voter. I just find it easier to read in light mode even as other types of websites are better dark. Although I wasn’t the one who mentioned it in the survey, I’m fairly certain I too discovered Bobby’s blog through someone else’s site. I’m on the fence about octothorpes because the prefetch implementation throws a browser warning. (No click bait titles please.) https://bobbyhiltz.com/posts/2025...

  @bbbhltz Ah, at the moment I’m one of those single octothorpe sites. I set it up, loaded a page to check (which would’ve sent the octothorpe call) and then disassembled it because of the warnings.

  Now that’s an interesting idea @lazcorp. I remember my first-ever webpage was hosted on my ISP’s subdomain too. I hadn’t thought of it like this but in hindsight it did help me get past the initial obstacles and get things set up with little fuss. And it often gets much easier the second time round of course.

  RE: https://islandinthenet.com/indieweb-2030/ What a great contribution from @khurtwilliams for this month’s #IndieWebCarnival – autonomy is fundamental and theme designers on large platforms like Wordpress adopting IndieWeb standards can make a substantial change, but the rest of us have to press for it. The path to a larger footprint for an open web, this essay argues, is wider adoption of standards not by the end user but by tool builders around the web. ‘Five years is both short and suffi...

  I cannot say enough great things about @readeck and I’m just waiting for some sort of note-making capability. This, from Olivier Meunier, was what really won me over: ‘There won't be any AI in Readeck, sorry. AI companies are currently on a mission of destroying labour, the environment, knowledge and every single website they crawl.’ Terrific. https://readeck.org/en/

  Thanks for your contribution, Jeff. I agree that by the strict definition of the term #IndieWeb most of us aren’t even on the IndieWeb. I too see it much more loosely, and in line with how you describe your own site: domain, hosting and a handful of pages. Can’t go wrong with that. https://mastodon.social/@wordius/115812874655213777
