National Rail have turned their web site grey to honour a dead royal racist. If you have @better installed, you see it in colour.

Why?

Because they’re including the code using Google Tag Manager and we block that tracker.

Site.js version 16.1.1 release

Fixes the initial double-load issue on Firefox at development time with hot reloading (by removing a Firefox hack that was attempting to work around a browser issue with server-side events that I can no longer reproduce).

Over the weekend, folks in the @nano community donated ~130 $NANO to the Small Technology Foundation using our new donation form (https://small-tech.org/fund-us).

As a little thank-you, Laura & I made a Svelte component of the Nano donation widget this week for not-for-profits, etc., to use on their sites (your site doesn’t need to use Svelte).

We’re going to hold an unscheduled live stream of Small Is Beautiful tomorrow at 5PM Irish time (UTC+1) to release it:

So, I wasn’t expecting this: folks have donated 112.840 $NANO (~ €530) to Small Technology Foundation *today!*

https://small-tech.org/fund-us

(Actually, they donated a little more but I donated 10% of the donations we got through @NanoTipBot to its developer.)

Thank you 💕

#nano #SmallTech

Yay, thank you all for the kind $NANO donations for Small Technology Foundation this morning :)

And another… this keeps up and we’ll be set for the year ;)

Ooh, and another (0.1 NANO) :)

Ooh, we just received our first Nano donation (~1 $NANO) at Small Technology Foundation :)

#SmallTech #SmallWeb

Working on the Small Web place creation flow and its related protocols.

The goal is for it to be as interoperable as possible. We have to work with external server, DNS, and payment providers and, in addition, we want people to be manage their hosting subscriptions on their own places. The providers own APIs will be abstracted with adapters.

Why all this? So you can set up a small web place in 30 seconds without getting locked into any one host.
