Homebrew Website Club
I'm setting up a coworking and makerspace in Half Moon Bay, and I'm wondering if SF people would be interested
welcome to homebrew website club - @kevimarks is taking notes with noterlive.com
this also shows up in https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/today?beta#bottom because we collect the hashtag there
almost the 2nd anniversary of the Homebrew Website Club, which was inspired by the 38th anniversary of Homebrew Computer Club
there are meetups today in Brighton, UK; Göteborg Sweden and Portland & SF int he US
in 2 weeks there is Indiewebcamp MIT November 7th/8th http://indiewebcamp.com/2015/MIT
Indiewebcamp SF will be a 1 day hack day on December 3rd http://indiewebcamp.com/2015/SF
as of october 1st the t.co shortener always uses https, so it always takes 23 characters, so adjust your length calculations
I updated my cassis library that estimates tweet length with URLs at @cassisjs
we ran into a problem with indiewebify.me -the site that checks if your site is indie - only 1 person could deploy
we had similar problems with h2vx.com, webmention.org -where the source is open but only some can deploy
so we're coming up with ways to automatically deploy these projects when they are updated
I have worked on a thing called story cards http://indiewebcamp.com/storycards
I don't really have my own website; I do work full time but only 3 days a week so I have some time to build a site
I'm redesigning the square peg foundation site, which is currently wordpress, but working out the flow first
that si going to end up turning into an indiwebified project when the design is done
what are you using for your backends? flask.
I tend to use appengine/python/jinja2 or node/express/jade
I use PHP, based on my cassis project which is a hybrid PHP/javascript language
tantek's coding style in cassis looks more like C - when Kyle and I ported bits to python thats what it felt like
there are a lot of bits where you have to parse urls and responses a lot which is the xkcd.com/927 problem
and I found all the ways people name the different parts of a URL http://tantek.com/2011/238/b1/many-ways-slice-url-name-pieces
