First cut at my documenting my comic collection on my website...

https://flamedfury.com/comics/

I'm using https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/ to catalogue my collection (WIP).

A combination of a NodeJS module https://github.com/maruf99/comicgeeks, and eleventy-fetch to cache the info to iterate over on my homepage.

Next, I want to figure out how to use pagination in to create a page for each series and each individual issue.

I should write a post about this, as it's been fun!

@cory so, I could use this to implement the icons to replace the light & dark buttons in my footer?

Hey folks, I'm looking for an example of an HTML “Style guide" page for a website. I've seen some blogs that sport this in the past but can't for the life of me find one again or Google for it. It's basically just a simple page on a site that has examples of all (or most) HTML elements and how they are styled for that site. I could just make one myself but would prefer to boostrap the process by getting a pre-made one to start and tweak from there. Thanks!

@sass check my footer

Does anyone have any recommendations for simple graphic apps for the Mac? I want to create various-sized images and add a background colour, some text, some icons, etc.

I suppose a web app would be fine too?

Something like Canva, but not Canva :lolsob:

I'm giving https://photopea.com a go, seems to be doing what I need.

I have PS CS6 on my linux box, but that's all the way up stairs :joy:

📝 Making Websites Should Be Easy

First post in a while... This one summarises a conversation @sarajw and I had last month about the barrier to making websites if you're not a developer...

We’re happy to open the doors to the Cafes new forum https://discourse.32bit.cafe/

We’re well aware that platforms like discord aren’t the best for fostering communities, however it was perfect for getting us going.

But now we’re ready for our next phase.

We’re a community of like-minded website hobbyists and professionals helping to make the web fruitful and bountiful again.

Let’s build websites together, can’t wait to see you there https://discourse.32bit.cafe/

@robb, haha, damnit, Robb! I was thinking of including some details of my garage workspace and tool bench last night as I was doing some tidy-up work in there!

I will spend an hour or so catching up on articles I've saved or left open in tabs.

I'll be bookmarking the ones I find interesting to my website, you can follow along with the feed, https://flamedfury.com/bookmarks-feed.xml, it'll refresh sporadically!

@flamed@social.lol avatar

There we go, I got seven posted https://flamedfury.com/bookmarks/ enjoy if you've not read them already :)

@joel if not already then soon as I have a tab or two open from your website 🍻

🫠 Still didn’t get around to reading and bookmarking my open tabs, whoops.

I am busy refreshing the site though…

Argh, FFS. My last 2 blog posts haven't cross-posted either.

flamed,
@flamed@social.lol avatar

@cory @robb @mstrkapowski these concerns go away if the “social media” interactions and replies are dropped and the focus is put on “mention-of” where webmasters intentionally craft a response on their own websites…

What is the dead simplest way for a beginner HTML hobbyist to get their website on the internet?

flamed,
@flamed@social.lol avatar

@bw ooh @sarajw and I were talking about this super recently, I’ve not published the summary on my website yet though. This is a great topic!

cory, to webdev
@cory@social.lol avatar

Oof — my site's homepage is ~30kb, the webfonts I was loading were 40kb on their own. No thanks.

@flamed@social.lol avatar

@cory I’ve been playing with system-ui for body don’t. Still want something fancy for homepage header with what I’ve got planned for this months redesign….

I just published a big update for Excellent! Everything is the same and everything is different, I try and explain it a little bit in the blog of the preview, though I still plan to (and I hope I really will! :blobcatfearful: ) document everything better to make upgrading easier.

Thank you @belldotbz for sharing your excellent workflow with us! 💚
