I blogged about something I’ve been talking about/working on/following for months (or years, depending on how you count!): cassidyjames.com/blog/freedesk

There’s a fun little quiz/challenge thing towards the end; let me know how you do!

Cassidy James BlaedeAccent Colors: A Proposal for GNOMEEnabling user expression while considering the needs of distros and app developers

welp, Reddit found it and I no longer have an account, so I can’t upvote/downvote/reply over there. If anyone from Reddit wants to chat about this/ask clarifying questions, I can be found here on the Fediverse! :) Send them my way.

Cassidy James :eos: :gg: :fh:

I’ve added comments to my blog post thanks to @jwildeboer’s implementation on his own blog. 😃

Reply anywhere in this thread and it’ll magically show up as a comment under the blog post on my site. 👍

@cassidy @jwildeboer I think I'm gonna copy this as well. Gonna sit down with the code in a week or two and give my resurrected blog a comment function. 🙂

@julian I will probably end up completely rewriting it eventually, but I’ve had @jwildeboer’s post bookmarked since he published it. I figured it was time to try a first version!

The one part I haven’t decided on is curation; I might add filtering by default to exclude muted users, or something? I have to dig into the API some more.

@cassidy Yeah, that seems like a useful addition. I'm also pondering the possibility of making the creation of the associated Mastodon post an automatic part of the blog post publishing process instead of providing the ID manually. Might make a dedicated blog account for that on my instance, still thinking about the pros and cons.

@jwildeboer

@julian @jwildeboer yeah, I would love to automate that part as well, but I didn’t know if I wanted to deal with it. Could probably set something up in CI to post to Mastodon with the API and then update the ID in the post itself with the returned ID? Sounds kinda fun.
