How about a Tailwind-like set of utility classes that can be stacked on top of each other, without having to actually code? Either that, or, you know, use … CSS.

“Should Users Be Able To Select More Than One Block Style?”

Was kind of expecting it’d return the u-photo from a page’s h-card or something. Still, looks like a nicer, i.e., higher-res, alternative to DuckDuckGo’s favicons.

This. I’m not a software engineer, either. (Well, I’m not active in IndieWeb spaces, like, at all, but I have implemented and am greatly enjoying some of the typical “IndieWeb” building bricks. They’re open protocols, after all.)

I am fairly active in IndieWeb spaces and I disagree with others in these spaces all the time.

Could be they check if an item’s content starts with its title, and decide to display it as a note if so (this is how, again, popular PHP library X-Ray does it). One way to have both notes and checkins not look like articles is to remove their title tags from your RSS (and not use a p-name in your HTML, but I believe that is already the case) altogether. That, in my experience, is the trick (and perfectly valid).

Which is why I used—wait for it—Dompdf.

My dream for this thing is, eventually, we could start building social media images via regular WordPress PHP templates. The trick is that you need something to screenshot them, like Puppeteer[.] An average WordPress install doesn’t have that available[.]

So, I, uh, did revive my Mastodon-to-WordPress sync thingy, I mean, plugin. It’s very basic, which is good. (More advanced features, like improved reply contexts, should probably be the subject of an add-on plugin. Like, eventually.) https://github.com/janboddez/import-from-mastodon

You hire a freelancer (or start experimenting yourself).

[W]here should I go if I want to find a developer to work with on an idea?

Funny thing. Since I’ve switched to SimplePie, I see a lot more “image previews,” thanks the enclosure tag. Now, if only I could get it to parse media:content …

Going to just drop this here: https://ryangjchandler.co.uk/posts/parsing-markdown-with-php-autolinking-and-strikethrough

Switching between the Parsedown Extra and Markdown Extra libraries for PHP. One doesn’t convert > to blockquote inside <div markdown="1"></div> and the other doesn’t support ~~ for strikethrough text.

Recently watched the Fear Street trilogy, Turbo Kid, and La Gomera (The Whistlers), and now I’m wondering if I should revisit, or clarify, my “rating system,” which goes up to four stars. One star would be “interesting,” two stars “entertaining,” three stars very good and four almost impossibly awesome. As for the films above, I’d probably give them one or two stars each, like so: ★★☆☆. (Should probably drop that fourth star, too, and not be such an a—hole.)

There’s no technical reason you couldn’t stay in touch with Facebook friends without being [a] Facebook user. You can switch phone companies or email providers without walking away from the family, community and customers you’re connected to.

[B]eing banned for something as dumb as this would make a good story.
