Earlier today, a post was published on popular site CSS-Tricks that referenced my site and a post I’d written. My site has never been especially popular, and isn’t usually picked up in this way.
Right okay! Robin Sloan is someone of whom we in maya dot land (all of us nibbling on lichen under the bridge here) think highly, and altweb projects are fantastic, so if you haven’t gone and read through his protocol proposal go do that! Little of what I write here will make …
