Adactio or Alex Chan in using static websites for tiny archives both are
going low-scale, low-tech. There’s no web server, no build system, no dependencies, and no JavaScript frameworks.
Because this system has no moving parts, and it’s just files on a disk, I hope it will last a long time.
Paperwork, documents created, screenshots taken, bookmarked web pages, video and audio files.
Each gets a website.
These websites aren’t complicated – they’re just meant to be a slightly nicer way of browsing files than I get in the macOS Finder.
Each collection is a folder on my local disk, and the website is one or more HTML files in the root of that folder. To use the website, I open the HTML files in my web browser.
I’m deliberately going low-scale, low-tech. There’s no web server, no build system, no dependencies, and no JavaScript frameworks. I’m writing everything by hand, which is very manageable for small projects. Each website is a few hundred lines of code at most.
These are created and curated by hand.
I think this could be a powerful idea for digital preservation, as a way to describe born-digital archives.

A response in four steps to get started.
How should a website change with the seasons? Could a website be different as time passes? Could a website adapt to night time so that readers have an easier experience perusing information?
- Different category leads to different themes
- Emojis change with the seasons
- How can I make my website evoke feelings associated with a season?
94 % de sites non accessibles
Raisons? Stéphane Deschamps (via https://piaille.fr/@notabene/113327840519217866) dénonce que l'accessibilité soit hautement technique; alors que la technique de base ne l'est déjà pas.
Cependant le top 3 des problèmes constatés concernent des contrastes insuffisant, des intitulés de liens et noms accessible d'images manquants. Ces erreurs sont techniquement facilement corrigeable!

!Instead of catching up, my feed reader behaves more like opening a book."
Here is Jeremy's feedback on RSS feed reader.
From Lucy Bellwood:
I have a richer picture of the group of people in my feed reader than I did of the people I regularly interacted with on social media platforms like Instagram.
You can single-handedly disenshittify your experience of virtually the entire web, just by switching to RSS, traveling back in time to the days when Facebook and Twitter were more interested in showing you the things you asked to see, rather than the ads and boosted content someone else would pay to cram into your eyeballs.
Because blogs are much quieter than social media, there’s also the ability to switch off that awareness that Someone Is Always Watching.
In the end, social media (Mastodon) best's algorithm is when the only algorithm at work in my feed reader— or on Mastodon—is good old-fashioned serendipity, when posts just happened to rhyme or resonate.
- Avoid alliteration. Always.
- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
- Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
- Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
- One should never generalize.
- Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
- Be more or less specific.
- Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
- Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
- Who needs rhetorical questions?
