Hi Joe,
Another trio of fascinating links. podviaznikov.com took me to montaigne.io which the site is made with. Montaigne is a simple tool that allows you to publish any type of website from Apple Notes , the docs are not yet complete but I certainly want to keep an eye on.
Thanks!
Re: slippy
I’m curious if anyone has tried building a digital public zettelkasten on WordPress in general or using using the Slippy plugin in particular?
Hi Chris,
you would think WordPress could do this.
I installed slippy on a test blog. As far as a quick look showed it would not be useful for a public slip box. There is no published url that I could easily find. The repeated slips appear in the editor.
I just noticed that my Hypothes.is account has passed the 10,000 annotations mark.
Hi Chris,
10,000 I sub to the RSS feed! Not necessarily calming, but an amazing source of serendipity. Much appreciated.
But not everything has to be scalable; not everything has to be venture scale. There are a lot of public services, technologies in the public interest, and fully-profitable businesses that benefit by not trying to reach scale. Relationships are the building blocks of society; eradicating those in favor of analytics, in education of all places, is counter-productive, to put it charitably.
This is a wonderful post Ben, thanks you. It speaks, to me as a primary teacher, to more than just EdTech and startUps. The big internet beasts have some claws in education and seem to be working towards what you call the rat-maze simulation of intimacy. Governments seem bent on datafication.
Technology can be part of informal & formal personal relationships. The technology I find interesting is messy engaging and has not much to do with scalability & market share.
In my tiny world, I hope technology helps inclusion, engagement, diversification of approaches and fun. The presentation & recording of learning in a useful way by learner that is still individual, not auto analysable and open to conversation.
And the documentation to get started https://makecode.com/writing-docs/tutorials
Brian, that is very cool. Pasting an example markdown from github into the editor looks like a good way to figure it out.
So, ds106.club is now loading securely over https, not that anyone would notice or care but me. I like tinkering on small, zero-priority sites because they allow me to figure stuff out without any repercussions if things go wrong.
Hi Jim,
Someone would notice & care;-) I log on to the club once every year or so. Just fixed a couple of http references to https. I still wonder if the tilde environment would make a good place to run a ds106 course.
It is also a good tinkering place.

Interesting, the rather challanging hypothes.is comments were interesting too.
rationale also needs to be expanded to suggest that It’s likely that non-reading adults will raise non-reading children
yup. My daughter was brought up pre smart phone. She now encourages me to read by lending me books:-)
a really need for nuanced and civilised debates around what open platforms should and could be, the dangers of “free speech”, the need for ethics - you know all the things white, male billionaires regularly do. . . https://twitter.com/guardiantech/status/1518821183310860292
The microblogging book by @mantonsblog is full of both technical and ethical info:

http://micro.blog is IMO a great model of smallish communities & solving a lot of social problems. It syndicates hosted & external sites.
