Scripting News: My new linkblog feed

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 05:50:14 +0000

I only want really good feeds. It's time to stop being so careless about what we transmit to the world. If we want an open web we're all going to have to be good gardeners. It's like a food system where all the food is grown by family farmers and I'm running a restaurant, and only want the good stuff, and we want it to look good too! :-)#

Text Fragments Enable Deep Linking on Web Pages - TidBITS

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 23:56:14 +0000

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could link to specific bits of text on a Web page rather than forcing people following your links to scan the page for whatever piece of information you’re trying to convey? With full support from major browser manufacturers appearing late last year, the Web has finally caught up with hypertext theory from the previous century.

ArtLung: Owning my own bookmarks over 20 years ~ 31 Oct 2024

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 18:17:53 +0000

I wrote code (in PHP) to import my old bookmarks. And you didn’t misread that, it’s 28,000 links over the last 20 years. They come from my original links blog, and from Delicious, and from Instapaper, and from Twitter back when I backfilled those shared links into Pinboard, which I then backfilled into my link blog database. It’s a lot of things, but really, it’s straightforward from a programming point of view. It’s a simple POST to the REST API which Linkding provides by default. I have shared most of the code I wrote as a Gist in GitHub. It includes code in PHP to convert exported CSV from Instapaper to a JSON format that my poster code can use. And over the last 2 days and over many hours, every few seconds a link would be posted. And as of now, it’s finished.

Introducing Sill | Tyler Fisher

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 18:12:42 +0000

I built Sill because I value the people in my social network, and I believe I can learn the most about the world by reading what they read and hearing what they have to say. Sill listens to them at scale and helps me understand the conversation. In the month or so I’ve been using it myself, Sill has completely changed my relationship to my social network.

Hyperlinks, the Open Web, and a Membership Appeal

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 23:54:26 +0000

I love linking out to other sites. The strength of the open web is in its many connections between nodes…the more, the better. Links are the whole goddamned point of the web! I want to send people away from kottke.org to learn something new or have a chuckle and then come back the next day for more. The goal is connection, knowledge, and sharing — I proudly have no competitors in this endeavor, only collaborators. (This is just another sentence so that I can link to more folks who love to link.)

Smarter than 'Ctrl+F': Linking Directly to Web Page Content

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 16:43:39 +0000

Historically, we could link to a certain part of the page only if that part had an ID. All we needed to do was to link to the URL and add the document fragment (ID). If we wanted to link to a certain part of the page, we needed to anchor that part to link to it. This was until we were blessed with the Text fragments!

Unfortunately, sometimes web developers try to get a bit too clever in creating their interfaces. What if I want something to look like a link but act like a button?

mnot’s Web log: Counting the ways that rev="canonical" hurts the Web

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 15:06:40 +0000

"That’s because while I was watching the kids rolling down the grass slope on top of Parliament House, rev="canonical" started to gain some serious momentum, billing itself as a way to shorten URLs that “doesn’t hurt the Internet.” In my opinion, this is an interesting idea with an very unfortunate execution that’s bad for the Web, and I’m going to enumerate the reasons here.

joshua's blog: on url shorteners

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 22:36:53 +0000

"So there are clear benefits for both the service (low cost of entry, potentially easy profit) and the linker (the quick rush of popularity). But URL shorteners are bad for the rest of us.I feel that shorteners are bad for the ecosystem as a whole. But what can be done to improve the situation?"
