You think that the term "debug" means "remove a bug"?
In fact, it comes from a French prefix "deux-" (two) or "de-" for short, because after the debug operation, you have two bugs instead of one.

I've just tried

It's a static site generator. Unlike many others, Publii is a graphical application, very easy to use. It manages content edition with 3 different methods:

  • Wysiwyg editor
  • Block editor (inspired by Medium IHMO)
  • Markdown editor
    Adding images is simple, you can select one as featured for Organic data, put one in the header for the site or for each post.
    It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Embracing Development

In the vast landscape of the internet, where bloated websites reign supreme, there lies a humble yet powerful movement: the SmolWeb! Embracing simplicity, efficiency, and accessibility, SmolWeb challenges conventional web development practices. If you're a web developer seeking a new perspective, here's why and how you should consider writing SmolWeb sites [...]

Choosing Between and : Advantages and Drawbacks

In the ever-evolving landscape of decentralized and minimalist web (and net) technologies, two platforms stand out: Smolweb and Gemini, if we forget good old Gopher. Both offer alternatives to traditional web browsing, emphasizing simplicity, speed, and privacy. But which is the right choice for you? [...]

And now, pages.casa complies with guidelines

Even @dillo can display it.

And give the same render as firefox.

pollux.casa account registration is reopened!

If you need a dual protocol gemini/https hosting, I propose a free solution on a personal server. You will get 1GB storage to put and images files and build a capsule also accessible through https.
More info on https://pollux.casa/ or gemini://pollux.casa/
A smart autoindex generate an index of your posts if no index.gmi is found in a directory 😉 easier for a gemlog, read the doc to name files

Brutalism is a design coming from architecture and some websites use its concepts.
https://brutalist-web.design/

I think that it's a good idea to have a look to it, because this design can be fully compatible with concept. A bit different from minimalism, a website adopting may be lightweight and with its own singularity.

If you want to build a smolweb site, you should study this concept.

Be careful, some Brutalist templates exist but use heavy framework, avoid them.

I'm looking after a big (such as 10000x6000px or more) png or webp map of world with all countries and their names, without watermark.
It's so strange that a so basic file is so difficult to find... The web search engines are really broken.

(I know OSM but need a static file)

SVG could do the job, too

It's so sad that web browsers don't render #Markdown (as CommonMark) files natively.
It would be too easy to build a website just putting a bunch of .md in a directory.

#smolweb #web0

I haven't found an extension doing it the right way.

is FTP still a thing ?

When I proposed hosting of #geminiprotocol capsules, I permitted file transfer through SFTP with ssh keys. But, some users were lost with this protocol and then I also open FTP (with TLS) with a password.

What is the best/simplest protocol for file transfer for non tech users?
I plan to open a little #smolweb hosting based on #markdown files: the author would just have to put .md files in a directory on the server to publish content.

I wonder if it would be possible to configure my mail server to reject emails from and (replying they are not accepted because of spying users) 🤔
Is it a good idea? Is there anybody doing that?
I know it will cut me out of many contacts but I really don't want to be targeted by their algorithms.

If you are looking for a #SmolWeb theme for #Hugo static site generator, have a look to "Smol" theme:

https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/smol/

It covers #smolweb guidelines:

This is such a bullshit anti-pattern.

It's a ducking keyboard app. And it keeps popping up until I pick one. Guilting me into clicking "Yes".

@derickr I encourage to use OpenBoard available on f-droid.
Very customizable, even it works fine with default settings.

A prototype of "smolmd.php" is running on pages.casa.

Next to the classic htdocs directory of the user space, there is a "markdown" directory. If you put .md files in it, they are automatically served through http in html format, building a site in the /md/ fake directory of the site.

Exemple :

markdown
├── _footer.md
├── _header.md
├── adele24.png
├── blog
│ ├── first-post.md
│ └── second-post.md
├── contact.md
├── index.md
├── prefs.ini
└── style.css

➡️ https://adele.pages.casa/md/

screenshot of https://adele.pages.casa/md/blog/
With some preferences in prefs.ini : site_author = "Adële" site_title = "Adele's smolweb site" site_language = "en" site_autoindex_subfolder = "blog/" site_autoindex_last_first = true site_autoindex_date_format = "Y-m-d" site_autoindex_posts_per_page = 5 site_autoindex_include_first_paragraph = true

@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

On one hand, I get it. Theming is hard, and if users use a third-party theme and have a bad experience, they blame the app, rather than the theme.

On the other hand, I think applying this statement to a project goes against the spirit of #OpenSource.

@ramsey I agree with devs, I use Xfce Desktop and I cry each time an app is converted to the Gnome design. The simple theme of my desktop is not applied any more, even the choice I did about the place of the close button is not respected. So I have windows with a thin title bar and button on a side, and others with a huge bar and the buttons on the other side. I hate the dictatorship of this project 😔
And some apps have menus everywhere (a burger one on a side, some button on the other...

I have to replace the tool I use to generate static website https://pages.casa
Publii builds a site which does not comply with the guidelines.

some big sites have a terrible user interface. With the size of teams behind the development of them, I don't understand they cannot do something better.
I almost think about ebay and facebook (yes I have an account for some association activities only).
