@cinnamon i could also show you a better idea of what the end result for both would look like so it might be easier to decide!

@cinnamon well! i guess that depends~ would you like to host a web app yourself? (either self-hosted, or with like, heroku?)

or would you like to make a dynamic gallery based on github pages?

the first would mean you can use whatever language seemed interesting and js, but would be harder to do. the second would mean a little bit of ruby and js, but would involve a little more manual uploading~

@iitalics (but actually though, it's good to be nice to yourself too~ and i hope it always gets easier to feel that way)

@cinnamon i could help if you like!

that said, there are probably better options that wouldn't need as much work, but these are just the two i'm aware of~

@cinnamon hm, i'm not really sure if either the dedicated domain things i mentioned could be configured to do that, but i can say for sure that birdsite would not

free wordpress plugins are a minefield, but if you do find a good one, they are usually designed to be pretty easy to use, and can be pointed at your own domains

tumblr lets you get into the thick of the html templates, and might be able to work for free--but it would probably be a lot of work, and not do batches

@GatlingFox @IceWolf oh, that's rad!

(though i feel like they might be looking for something that can work with static site hosting, like github pages)

@cinnamon oh! if you don't want to roll your own, you can possibly host things with a tumblr blog or wordpress, since you can put those at custom domains (like maybe pix.ctrlaltdog.com or something) and are pretty drag and drop

or if you prefer inline, birdsite has embeddable timelines you can drag things to, which looks like this: archenoth.com/drawstuffs/ (the downside is that would involve using birdsite, and you get quality loss from the original)

@dozens oh dang! i didn't know there was a podcast~ (and aaaaa! there's a lot of people i know here..! thank you for making this) ^^

ableism is a scourge, and it's an important topic to raise awareness of too. after all, it's one of the least paid attention form of privilege many peeps have

@codl i should really try arch again

the last time i used it, you still needed to subscribe to an rss feed to watch for breaking changes pacman -Syu would do, or your system would stop being bootable

it seems things have changed....maybe a little bit since then

@technomancy oh really??

it didn't instantly highlight in the gist editor when i gave it a fnl filename, but i'll have to try that next time!

@technomancy underrated phenomenon tbh

because i think trying things out is infinitely cooler too

(also thank you..!)

@bx i can see that now!

admittedly, i mostly stole the idea from @technomancy after seeing it used for scenario code here technomancy.us/188 (you can see the yield loops in both things)

it just seemed significantly nicer than making a more explicit super-linear state machine for something i'd want to isolate, and i just legit didn't even know this was an option

the end result wasn't particularly functional, but it was still a fun exercise i might actually use~

@bx it's still a miracle to me that this exists, hahah

@bx it does, thank you~ ^^

i've known about the existence of generators, coroutines, and continuations for a pretty long time, but i just never used them, so i didn't really internalize the differences between the three

so, when i finally had a reason to actually try out coroutines in fennel, it really seemed like something i could apply a lot more generally--but it also seemed similar to what i remembered thinking when looking at call/cc, hence my curiosity

@bx oh, interesting!

i remember thinking i grokked how this worked a while ago, but never had an opportunity to try it in practice

it didn't even occur to me that continuations could be continued as many times as you liked from the same spot rather than just pausing a function and resuming

anyway, fennel continues to be a super-cool language that i like lots, so it's cool finding excuses to use it more
