It's a false dichotomy; neither can survive in the long run. It's like asking yourself: would you prefer a car with a good engine but a bad steering wheel, or a car with good handling but a bad engine?

The mobile interaction is similar; it's not a bug, it's by design. If you were able to read the article without any problems, I'm satisfied. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. The lowest interaction cost is scrolling; it's a natural, continuous, and almost involuntary gesture. Having to click or tap a button requires the user to stop, evaluate whether the title interests them,

If you want to eliminate any friction, I recommend enabling JavaScript. Otherwise, you can read it in terminal mode with: curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" [URL]

When you scroll down, they should all disappear. Do you have JavaScript disabled? What browser and device are you using?

The entire website is accessible; I dedicated ample time to it. This was a minor oversight, but I wouldn't call it hostility.

GUIs cannot be built either before or during the specification of a protocol. In fact, this is the part that should have the least weight. There are important steps, such as system auditing or making design decisions (like certificate rotat

Why do you find the panel experience so bad?

Usually, informed people only read the headline.

I accept your apology; it must have been a misunderstanding. I believe that in my case, the use of JavaScript is justified because it's information that doesn't require a separate page; there are just a couple of configuration but

If you don't want limitations, host your social.org site yourself, or move it to GitHub Pages or similar services. org-social-host is a free hosting service I offer openly to help you get started, but it's not unlimited.

Yes, there are people who want their own host (The IndieWeb or Gemini communities are a clear example). The problem is that convenience is always the priority; there are no incentives.

For me it's the exact opposite, and I don't think I'm alone. Now you've reminded me that I have to go to the gym this afternoon... :(

By the way, what you're saying isn't true. That link isn't present in either the HTML or the JS, the URL is sent via WebSockets. You had to open the modal to see it.

I'm not in the authors' heads, but I suppose they want to enhance the feeling of belonging.

Thanks for the advice, but I intentionally removed `<link rel="alternate">`. I think if you take some time to explore the feed modal, you'll understand why I did it.

That's why I created a modal that explains the different RSS feeds for subscribing and their possibilities. My blog is over a decade old, and I've never used advertising, had sponsored articles, or tried to monetize it (except for

First, you're assuming my entire website should work without JavaScript. You don't understand my design reasoning, nor have you asked about the underlying cause. Second, for a modal, I should use a `<dialog>` that opens via

Managing or owning your own server is already a way to decentralize the network. You can always do it like in the old days and ask your friends to add your IP to your host file.

I don't think it's incompatible with a forum, corporate website, or any type of content.

IndieWeb wasn't born as an anti-capitalist movement, but rather at a time when protocols were more prevalent than content. If you review its core principles, everything revolves around creating, sharing, and persevering over time. Comp

Modals use JS, that's normal.
