Day 8. Today's song is an experiment in not using any percussion and trying to create the sense of rhythm other ways. A lot of this was inspired by one of @adamsinger's Creative Commons tracks. I wanted to see what it would take to create something with a similar feel. There's also a hint of Royksopp in here. #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject -
100 Days of Music
100 Days of Music is a project to write a short 30-90 second song every day for 100 days. My goal is to create something that's "finished" enough to be able to use it as a podcast or video intro song. It doesn't have to be long, but has to sound decent.continue reading... -
Day 8 part 2: Birthday Balloons! When you visit my home page today, you'll see balloons floating up from the bottom of the screen! All the code is in a self-contained javascript file if you want to use this on your site too! https://aaronparecki.com/assets/birthday.js #100DaysOfIndieWeb

@indiescripter hm, what do you mean "silo-centric"? We often replicate silo UX on our own sites, and we syndicate to silos to reach audiences that are there, but ultimately it's about owning your identity and data. If you want to see a variety of things I'm working on, check out my "100 days" project where I work on something IndieWeb for 100 days: https://aaronparecki.com/tag/100daysofindieweb You'll find plenty of non-silo things there!

Day 8: Pinned Posts #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I've never really been a fan of using pinned posts on my Twitter profile, so I didn't expect this would be something I wanted on my own website. On my own home page I can just write whatever I want above my posts, so I don't really need "pinned posts" there either. However I just found a use for pinned posts, but not on my home page!I've been sharing the link to my 100 days tags with people as a way to share the content quickly. I wanted to be able to have a little intro post above the list of posts, and I realized that "pinned posts" matched the pattern of what I wanted pretty nicely! So now, on tag and channel pages on my site, I can mark a post as "pinned" and it will always show up on top! The first post I've pinned is on my #100DaysOfIndieWeb tag page.continue reading... -
Day 7: Nicer sparklines for tag pages
A while ago, inspired by @adactio, I had added sparklines to my home page and tag pages. After having them for a while, I realized that my tag pages would look better as sparkline bar charts instead of as a plain line.The lines looked fine for tags that had a lot of data, but didn't look good when there were only a few data points.continue reading... -

Day 7. Today's rule was: no piano. This one is entirely weird synth sounds, and I played a lot with the EQ. The last thing I did was Add the 4 bar intro, which is kind of modeled after the intro to Ladytron's "Destroy Everything You Touch" #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject

@zackfern ah it's technically an Atom feed! You can actually put any URL at the end of this to subscribe to them eg https://granary-demo.appspot.com/url?input=html&output=atom&url=https://aaronparecki.com/articles

@zackfern I don't want to maintain a separate code path for rending RSS. This way I just make sure my HTML looks right and it's automatic.

@zackfern There's an RSS feed for my home page (in the HTML only, not a visible icon), it's generated automatically from the Microformats

Day 6. I wanted to try something totally different. Ended up not as different as I was going for. I think next time the rule is no piano. #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject

Day 6: Polling tiers for OwnYourGram #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Previously, OwnYourGram would check all users' Instagram feeds once an hour. I changed it to have four polling tiers, and the interval for the top tier is every 15 minutes now. This means people who post lots of photos will now see their photos on their site sooner, and because of the tiered approach, I won't be wasting resources on feeds that post infrequently.The four tiers are:Every 15 minutes (on the 0, 15, 30 and 45 minute mark) - 11 usersEvery hour (5 minutes after the hour) - 12 usersEvery 6 hours (at 00:10, 06:10, 12:10, 18:10 UTC) - 11 usersOnce a day (at 01:10 UTC) - 38 usersUsers are sorted into tiers based on the number of photos posted in the last 14 days. The more you post, the more often OwnYourGram checks your feed! If your Micropub endpoint returns an error, then you're bumped down a tier. If you're at the lowest tier and there's an error, then polling will be disabled completely until you log back in.Thanks to snarfed for suggesting the tiered approach!continue reading...
