Moult casts a vote for a static site.
# Moult and if you know a bit of code, write your own static site generator. don't use someone elses. it's really, really easy to do a little bit of templating, and read from markdown or json or similar.

# Kolev Moult, what about IndieAuth, POSSE, PESOS, backfeed, etc?
# Moult Kolev: what about it?
# Kolev Moult, seems like those things cannot be done with just a static site generator.
# Moult Kolev: why not?
# Kolev Oh, I didn't know this was the base channel...
# Moult is Loqi a bot?
# 
Loqi Loqi is a friendly and useful bot/digital therapist present in the IndieWeb discussion channels https://indieweb.org/Loqi
# Loqi 💬 Join #indieweb discussions via Discord, Slack, web chat, or IRC, (they are all bridged!) with focused channels for developers, WordPress, and meta topics! https://indieweb.org/discuss
# Moult anybody here have a gemini capsule?
# Moult Kolev: reading your website, no cars eh? no kids either?
# Kolev Moult, I'm not opposed to having kids. I am opposed to cars.
# Moult Kolev: merely an observation that there's a correlation with car use and kids :)
# Kolev Moult, I think it's harmful to design our towns so that kids need to be shuttled around in cars.
# Moult Kolev: agreed, but alas that's reality right now
# Kolev Moult, pedestrian-first towns are beneficial for the whole family, not just single people.
# Moult Kolev: preaching to the choir mate. architect by training here.
# Moult Kolev: you might be interested in this article, i've been slowly getting around to updating it recently with more thoughts on "design that never occured" https://thinkmoult.com/edmondson-park-retail-residential-development-frasers-hdr.html

# Moult what is on-topic on this channel anyway
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "on-topic on this channel anyway" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "on-topic on this channel anyway is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Moult heh
# Moult on-topic on this channel anyway is EVERYTHING

# immibis how can you be strict about channel topics but also consider any message containing the word is as a bot command

# 
jeremycherfas Because it requires more than is to trigger Loqi
# jeremycherfas What is what is?
# Loqi what is is how you can ask me to look to see if there’s documentation about a topic on the wiki, and if not, I’ll give you a URL to click to create a page on the wiki accordingly! https://indieweb.org/what_is
# 
capjamesg[d] We're sensitive to keeping channels on topic because we have had people in the past feel discouraged about, for example, lots of technical talk in this channel (which is supposed to be about making things on your site, not coding).
# jeremycherfas capjamesg[d]++
# capjamesg[d] "what is" has been used on the order of 1,000 times by community members this year alone.
# capjamesg[d] It's something that a lot of us find helpful to introduce materials into discussions, check if we have a resource that could be helpful to others, and more.
# capjamesg[d] Is anyone doing any writing challenges this December? I have heard a few people mention interest in doing them.
# jeremycherfas Every nonth'
# jeremycherfas Every month's writing is a challenge

# Kolev Why is everyone in []?
# 
[tantek] This sort of covers it but should be split out: https://indieweb.org/discuss#Differences_between_chat_services

# Kolev So what is this channel for, if you can't talk about making websites on it?
# 
[mattl] dev is about development, events is for events, meta is about the http://indieweb.org website/infrastructure, stream is basically RSS feeds in the channel... so this channel is about using the indieweb.
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "purpose of the indieweb channel" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "purpose of the indieweb channel is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [tantek] purpose of the indieweb channel is /discuss#indieweb
# Kolev Anyway, I'm really impressed by POSSE and IndieAuth.
# Kolev Really own all your stuff.
# Loqi ✊ own your data is an IndieWeb principle with two key parts: 1) your data lives primarily under your own domain, and 2) you are able to retain your access over time https://indieweb.org/own_your_data
# Kolev BTW, I'm here because of Snikket and JMP.
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "snikket" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "snikket is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Kolev [mattl], not to go off topic, but Snikket is about taking ownership of your chats, basically. No more silos for chat.
# Kolev [mattl], I'm using Snikket to talk to you right now, yes.
[Joe_Crawford] joined the channel
# Kolev [mattl], I'm not sure Snikket is really part of the IndieWeb, though. It's just another component of the self-hosting movement. Also, I don't have my own domain, so I can't log in yet.
