Headless CMS

  • Sheetsu with a japanese spelling form some reason.. uses google sheets as the source of data to make pages and tables and things .. could be useful for a toastmasters type situation where there is a static page to be made every month for the agenda etc.. that just needs data changed .. and has a lot of not tech fluent users - I found it here in this blog post about headless cms

Non-centralised social web

I found out about the Indiweb wiki which says it is “The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.". There I read about pingbacks and webmentions. Which seems to be a way of linking together websites or blogs that make mentions of each other in their writings. so I dont need twitter or facebook as a gobetween. I found out about it from This blog by Paul Kinlan talking about how to implement it in a hugo site.. which seems to involve some code for including the things on the page,.. and then some extra code in your static site build stage to go and find or send out mentions. I think Paul Kinlan is a chrome developer, and I found him reading about progressive web apps as an way for web developers to appeal to users who are being entraped by app walled gardens of in app browsers and no external links etc.

IT stuff

The ombulabs blog has many intersting looking articles about how to work well in it, and test code, upgrade rails, etc. very sharing way of working .. if you can do something .. why not do it well, document and share it and sell it as a consultancy service .. that the kind of transparent working style that seems very sustainable for everyone involved

  • Koji is s code remixing platform trying to be the youtube of code.. they are paying for simple games to seed their library.

Interactive text

  • Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories. which looks pretty flexible .. it was used to make the game Burnt matches by the media researcher Pippin Barr. Which was a mix of text and interface and browser animation speculative play also looks interesting. Which I read about when reading about how to make an interactive epub here . I was thinking of how I could use my ereader in a more interesting way to navigate around some black and white photos.. or maybe use them to make an ereader point and click adventure game.. so I was readign about publishing tools for interactive epubs .. because Im not sure how advance the browser is on a kobo.. for handling normal html.. that page has a list of publishing tools that can out put as interactive epub. mostly as self promotion of itself Kotobee Author. if kobo can handle html5.. it might be worth looking into html game engines

  • Ink ink also seems to be a very full featured game writing language like twine .. for pathed stories

  • a list here of tools to make interactive text
