Thanks to Ruxton for making available the source to the IndieWeb Best Nine, here are my “Best 9 Photos of 2019”.
The app walks your personal website, looking for photo posts, then makes a collage of the best nine. “Best” is determined by most IndieWeb likes or replies.
I initially tried to use the online version, but ran into some issues, so I grabbed the source and started tweaking it to handle some quirks of my site.
- My monthly archives contain next/prev links that can be used to crawl my whole archive, but I don’t consider e.g. /2019/01/ to be a “feed”, so it’s just a collection of
h-entryitems. I updated the microformats2 crawler to support pages that are a collection ofh-entrywithout a containingh-feed. - Counted replies marked up as ‘comment’ rather than ‘reply’.
- Changed the resulting image size to fit more with my site’s layout.
- Filtered out comments from myself, as well as automated comments on my checkins from Swarm via OwnYourSwarm.
- Added cropping to make non-square images square.
- Added some debugging to spit out my posts and their interaction counts.
Here are the links to the individual top 9 photo posts!
