Fine, I'll integrate webmention in my website. But i'm not expecting any user generated content from it.

"I thoiught there was some kind of Swiftian propaganda machine humming quietly in the background. But the explanation is much simpler, and I felt pretty dumb not figuring it out sooner. Taylor Swift content reliably generates massive engagement online. So that means media outlets, influencers, and random content creators somewhere in Bangladesh publish Swift content solely because it drives clicks, equating to advertising revenue. Duh. I’d prefer the conspiracy over this depressing reality."

New blog post: "Write better commit messages"

One of the most valuable things that I was taught as a software developer, is to write “good” Git commit messages.
Obviously “good” is very subjective, so let me dive into it a bit.
I want to explain what I think a “good” message is, but also why I think it’s relevant that you write a good message.

Petrapixel is building an Indie Web Database. “The Indie Web Database is a collection of all things indie web. For now, we have a collection of websites, webrings and cliques. The database is a project created and managed by Petrapixel (that’s me, hi!), but contributions can come from everyone. This way, the maintenance of the database is not depended on one person, but a task of the community. […]

Somehow, me working on the library section in my website tends to repeatedly lead to me having to re-label 600 books.

Abbaye is a Static Site Generator (#SSG) for your #software releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

Big release!

Some refactoring to make the code easier to maintain, some small bugfixes (mainly introduced by the new features :p).

But the star features of this release are:

• Artifact categories and naming: artifacts are now categorized and named consistently, making it easier to understand what each artifact is for, if you choose to do so. It is done via the new [[builder]] category, name and comment keys in the configuration file.
• Add multi-format support. It's still in the early stages but it's functional and supports HTML or Gemtext (for all my #smolweb folks out there).
• Add support for non-interactive terminals, as in the case of a CI/CD pipeline. You'll still see progress via some log messages and not be stuck on a black screen without any information! (note: this requires the use of abbaye --verbose)

Here's Abbaye's 0.8.0 page, as built with Abbaye itself: https://vit.am/~ololduck/abbaye/0.8.0/

Abbaye is a Static Site Generator (#SSG) for your #software releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

This release simply fixes some minor issues and introduces #git branch/tag inclusion/exclusion when building the browsable repository as well as the https-cloneable one.

I had some work-in-progress branches on another project and wanted to publish a release for a small fix, and i saw that my work branches were still there, so… there you have it.

This release also includes an #AUR package but shhhhh! it's not 100% ready yet :D

Anyway, enjoy this release with abbaye self-update!

Here's Abbaye's 0.7.1 page, as built with Abbaye itself: https://vit.am/~ololduck/abbaye/0.7.1/

For the next release, i plan to add artifact categories so we can present artifacts in a more structured way. If you look at the "downloads" section, you'll see it's starting to be a bit crowded and unclear what does what.

A neat idea to make a website a more social experience.

Abbaye is a Static Site Generator (SSG) for your software releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

Phew, this version has been in the works for a while, and I'm glad to finally release it.

The big highlight of this release is a brand new repository browser that allows you to look at the code of what you would (maybe) download. That's something that was missing compared to most other software release browsers.

You can now browse:

• The availables refs (branches, tags, etc.) of the repository;
• The git history of a given ref;
• Individual commits (with collapsible diffs !);
• The code of a given ref.

Note: The code browser is only generated for branch "tips" (i.e. the latest commit on the branch) and for tags (i.e. the latest commit on the tag).

All of this still as html files without any javascript.

And with the addition of the updater in the last release, all of this is a simple abbaye self-update away!

Here's Abbaye's 0.7.0 page, as built with Abbaye itself: https://vit.am/~ololduck/abbaye/0.7.0/

Abbaye is a Static Site Generator (SSG) for your software releases, for those of us who can't or won't use a full-featured software forge.

Big usability features in this release! We got:

• parallel builder execution with some nice progress reporting (And if you use the cargo builder, building different targets _also_ is in parallel!);
• A self-update command to update abbaye to the latest version, based on Abbaye's own rss feed;
• Automatic JSON schema generation for abbaye.toml, so you can get autocompletion and type checking for your configuration;
• A markdown builder/renderer for your documentation needs.
