#smallweb — Public Fediverse posts

Browsing through @kagihq's #smallweb with all the cool nerd projects, niche hobbies and other random obscurities is so fun it kinda makes me want to start my own blog. No idea what I'd write about and if anyone would ever want to read any of it, I just somehow want to be part of it. 😛

ok who's played with https://radicle.dev/? i already run a @forgejo but this "store collaboration data natively in the repo" thing is neeeeeeeat

This is CogDogBlogged: "The Best Holes of Curiosity"

… are the ones you dig yourself. After more years than I prefer to calculate, little matches the joy and super charge energy of a session of web rabbit holing, of hopping from one link to another, and finding something at the other end I might never have thought existed.

That’s what the web, with all its current baggage and slopification still makes possible- through the humble hyperlink, […]

New blog post: "Growing my own Software"

I’ve been thinking about coding my own KOReader Sync Server.
At the moment I’m using a lightweight implementation by b1n4ryj4n, which has served me well for years.
But recently I’ve been looking for a way to improve the interaction between my Xteink X4 and my ancient Kindle running KOReader.
With the server I’m using, I’m stuck with the binary comparison of books, where a hash of the actual ebook is uploaded, instead of just comparing the book’s name.
This prevents me from applying epub optimizations for the Xteink, which would obviously change the hash value of the resulting file.

Hey all you self-hosting small web people. If you want to get notified if your site might be down for some reason, you can always set up a free Uptime Robot account and get pinged (by e.g. email) if it's down.

Been using it for years, and it's awesome. You can set up 50 monitors on the free plan, which is kinda nuts.

Wishing for a #SearchEngine for the #SmallWeb

Last week a parent of a young child was intrigued by the #journal I keep for my family. I wrote up my suggestions to him as a blog post: https://jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2026/05-11-journaling

#Journaling as a practice has many benefits. It doesn’t matter how you start, only that you start.

Experimenting with drop caps on my blog, straddling the line between text-focused minimalism and whimsy!

The drop cap font I'm using on the desktop version is called Medieval Alphabet Font. I was originally using Nouveau Drop Caps, which is a little more readable, but not as stereotypically "medieval." I decided to use Nouveau Drop Caps for the mobile version of my site, as the more ornate styling of Medieval Alphabet Font doesn't really work on smaller screens.

My migration from gitlab to codeberg is almost complete. If only the Forgejo Actions weren't down, I'd be able to test my release pipeline.

The earlier problem that my repo was way too large for codeberg was easily mitigated by just removing the entire history. 300 megabytes i really didn't need.

Seria mesmo fixe montar em Portugal uma pequena célula de web responsável e funcional.

Algo simples, que circule à volta dos valores da #smallweb e da #indieweb.

Para além de ser uma directoria de websites bem feitos em Portugal, teria também uma festa IRL e um prémio anual para os websites mais improváveis.

Inspiração: https://tinyawards.net/

Alguém se anima, @sdsantos @rlafuente @teclista ?

Como todas temos poucos projetos por aqui... /s

Liked: @kev's interview at @hyde.

Lots of links in the Link Roundup, updated my changelog to reflect latest updates (it was very neglected for the last 3 months), and trying to figure out how to fix my Git mistake.

Someone today called Driftya “a softer and gentle version of Omegle.”

Not a comparison I expected, but I understand what they meant. Driftya also lets strangers cross paths, but the safety parts have to be easy to find: hide, report, block.

When someone reports content, it should be hidden for them right away, with a clear option to block too. Self-moderation should not be buried.

One of the things I love most about the personal web is not being beholden to conventional web development practices. Case in point: I *could* have used JavaScript to build a tag filtering system for my links page, but I used YAML and Liquid instead, because why not? Building static websites without JS is fun!

I just saw Mortal Kombat II, and just like the video game, it's a vast improvement over the one that came before it.

Well, it's official, I have torn down my site from surge.sh. Kind of sad since it was my first and only blog home.

The site's new home is Codeberg (ICYMI):

Site: https://readbeanicecream.codeberg.page/
RSS: https://readbeanicecream.codeberg.page/feed_rss_created.xml

So update your bookmarks and RSS feeds!

I still like the surge project and will keep my surge related posts there for informational purposes.

At Henhouse.coop, we provide scripts to make deploying your website even easier! Download the script for your SSG, open a terminal, and with one command, your site is deployed...as if by magic. 🪄 🦄

I've long been on a quest to incorporate personal blogs into my scrolling but could never find a good way to gather and follow interesting ones, esp. ones without RSS.

https://bubbles.town seems to be what I've been looking for. I just signed up today and have already found some great blogs. It's also part of the fediverse, though not sure exactly how that works. Check it out!
