I don't quite follow - if low quality media is everywhere, doesn't high quality media stand out? Perhaps you're saying that so much low quality media drowns out the high quality media - such that it can't be found. The r

People are still creating great stuff along these lines - you just won't find it through Google or Facebook or most of Reddit. Complex, interesting hypertext creations and web sites are still everywhere. But try typing "interestin

I really like the turbolinks approach - you simply write HTML and then include the script in your head tags. However, I'm still hooked on Markdown. So I am still prerendering HTML - and then doing the routing with Hyperapp. (See https

This seems to be a good fit for IPFS, since it's a single page with no absolute paths. While Beaker does let me update the source code at that location - you can also link to the current version permanently by adding the version number

Somehow your link is truncated. The complete link is: hyper://a8e9bd0f4df60ed5246a1b1f53d51a1feaeb1315266f769ac218436f12fda830/ (with a '30' at the end)

Was hoping there was a link to the results - either a search box or some statistics. But hey - free code. Not complaining. Also, if you haven't checked out Beaker Browser now that it's nearing 1.0 - great things are happening. Thi

Yeah this is less a statement on chronological ordering and more a product of subscribing to all of your uncles. I do think chronological ordering can help you diagnose this problem quicker.

You did a fantastic job - and very generous of you to release the code as well. Applause.

I dunno - the JavaScript player is really well done. There are some surprising touches - like the background changes with the video.

If you’re still confused, click on the dot in the upper left corner and you’ll be on the home page. Each of those squares is someone’s profile page. Many are just made of random lists or links. Others are detailed journals. I think it’s tur

I'm with you. I chalk it up to growing up in a noisy house. I like to be in the middle of people/the city/TVs blaring. There are also people who like to work in darkness, perhaps because nighttime is their comfortable time. I

Totally appreciate what you're saying - some of the time I'm just in a basic text mood as well. (And am a fan of, for instance, legiblenews.com.) Most of the time I'm a JavaScript maximalist, though. Crufty, dank and deplorab

My biggest problem with Google is that in the 2010s they began flagging sites that had too many links as "link farms" - this discouraged bloggers from posting blogrolls and killed many directories. This really damaged the Open Web

This is a cool idea. Oh to be a streamer with an auto generated face. Reminds me of A Scanner Darkly.

I wonder if there are tools for removing (or repatterning) these as post-processing. In fact, you’d think single pixel defects might get washed out in conversion to a lossee image format.

That's cool - thanks Pixxel! So Fraidycat literally just grabs the title and link from each post in the feed - so it has to do with how DF formats its feed. It appears that the JSON feed works correctly tho: https://daringfi

The return of personal directories continues. Love to see it! Really cool that you opened up the code. Since directories are my own personal obsession, I'll pass on my take on the topic: https://www.kickscondor.com/foun

I appreciate the author’s work on so many projects, but the quote doesn’t resonate with me. There is a new post almost every day on HN about “saving the Web” that gets voted to the top - and it has been this way for several years now. But I

It’s funny you say this, because I see this article linked all the time - and it’s had a major influence in my circles. (Public wiki and Indieweb culture.) See, for example, the recent ‘Gardens and Streams’ pop-up camp: https://a

Oh hey! Really honored you took the time. I love that your blog has has had some attention these past few days. You write very thorough articles and I love that you have a somewhat quirky design, Parimal. It’s classic!

I had to rewrite an app as well - but it turned out to be incredibly simple. Here's my first commit: https://github.com/kickscondor/duxtape/commit/55dbde9519aedb... . Can't really call it a rewrite -
