Some browsers/addons allow shortcuts for going to the next/prev page by
matching links with the word "next" or "previous"; Tridactyl is one
example. I thought I'd add a next/prev link to make it easy to binge
this blog.
The favicon is 175 bytes, smaller than the size of the HTTP headers to
fetch it. It can be inlined.
Now, pages that don't have any other images need just a single request.
The main stylesheet for the sit is just 721 bytes uncompressed. I can
inline it safely to shave off a request, since the headers alone are
probably comparable to the size of the CSS.
- The default time is browser-default colors, not "light". The only
"theme" for my site is the dark theme.
- The "color-scheme" doesn't have wide support
- The "color-scheme" property doesn't really do anything much if you use
browser-defaults or a dark theme with @prefers-color-scheme
- Move the end of the h-entry div up above the footer.
- Move syndicated link to Gemini capsule up into the byline so it gets
included in the now-smaller h-entry.
See https://github.com/nekr0z/static-webmentions/issues/1
- Wrap the <a> in a <span> to make the h-entry expose an author URL
(link to homepage). Useful for sending Webmentions.
- Switch from schema.org/Article to schema.org/BlogPosting
- Footer should contain date last built so people don't start scratching
their heads wondering why webmentions aren't showing up
- Add rel="nofollow ugc" to webmention links.
Statically grab and include webmentions during Hugo builds, no JS
involved. Hugo supports making web requests and parsing the resulting
JSON, so there was no need to use an external program either.
Inspired by the h-entry implementation on Charlie Owen's personal
website: https://whalecoiner.com
The u-photo re-uses the 32px favicon that the browser has already
cached, so it shouldn't bloat up the page anymore.
These changes required a bit of additional CSS. I snuck in come color
changes too.
The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists
and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our
ideas about human uniqueness.
Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need
for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig?
To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and
anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex
activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet.
However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively
demanding.
JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the
minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with
them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly
unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and
block scope.
