[tantek] [KevinMarks] if you find people proposing random new discovery proposals for 88x31 image discovery, please link them to https://indieweb.org/88x31#How_to_markup_discovery
# 00:54 
[tantek] we don't need a new element, a new rel value, or property or anything else, certainly no well-known--
# 00:54 
Loqi well-known has -1 karma in this channel over the last year (-4 in all channels)

ulhar4409 oh that's neat
baileyyyyyyyyyyy joined the channel

[tantek] I am finally relenting am making my own 88x31 button "generator" (AKA a static HTML+CSS file from scratch that I tweak) because none of the existing generator provide sufficient flexibility (where I am spoiled by the flexibility of CSS)
# 02:15 
[tantek] of course this has me rethinking just how plain my personal site "header" is
# 02:18 
ulhar4409 i am curious to see this
# 02:22 
pfych  I need to come up with a fun 88x31 for my site so I can comission someone more aristicly inclined to make me a nice one! I've tried a few times myself and they're always quite crusty haha
# 02:27 
gRegor I did a manual HTML5 button in CSS a little while back: https://gregorlove.com/lab/ Not a generator though, just hacking on some CSS

gRegor Oh I think that was before the logo change. womp womp
# 02:50 
[tantek] ulhar4409 I may upload it as a static standalone page to my site
# 02:51 
[tantek] pfych, I sympathize deeply
# 02:51 
burgeonlab gRegor: I used this https://github.com/bradleytaunt/html5-valid-badge
# 02:51 
[tantek] gRegor oh no that needs a content warning lol
# 02:52 
gRegor lol
# 02:59 
ulhar4409 i made this one some time ago
# 02:59

# 03:01 
ulhar4409 made by drawing in aseprite because that's what i know how to do 😄
# 03:25 
[tantek] ulhar4409++ nicely done
# 03:25 
Loqi ulhar4409 has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (3 in all channels)
# 03:29 
[tantek] ulhar4409 here you go, this is the HTML+CSS used to make my own "simple" 88x31 at 2x resolution: https://tantek.com/88x31css.html
# 03:31 
ulhar4409 huh, nice
# 03:38 
[tantek] decided to offer both 88x31 1x resolution and 2x resolution. This is good enough for now: https://tantek.com/88x31x2.png

gRegor The last two emojis go under the box for me
# 03:46 
gRegor Or is it meant to be like "CSS IS AWESOME" :D
# 03:46 
[tantek] works in Firefox on Mac for me. which OS?
# 03:47 
gRegor Windows, both Firefox and Chrome
# 03:47 
[tantek] probably font metrics differences
# 03:48 
[tantek] also likely emoji graphics differences too
# 03:48 
gRegor yeah
# 03:48 
[tantek] I figure people can tweak it to fit their needs. All I needed was for it to work on my laptop so I could screenshot it and make PNGs
# 03:48 
gRegor Same thing I ran into with my HTML5 button experiment, that checkmark isn't green on all systems
# 03:49 
[tantek] yeah it's more of a generator than an actual embeddable thing
# 03:49 
gRegor Ahh, gotcha. I thought you were using it directly. Neat
# 03:53 
[tantek] yeah I noted context on my examples entry: https://indieweb.org/88x31#IndieWeb_Examples
# 03:54 
[tantek] interestingly I couldn't embed the images on of my buttons on the wiki (they only showed the alt text) so I wonder if Cloudflare is blocking cross-site embedding (which probably isn't a bad thing by default)
# 03:58 
[tantek] added the link rel=icon sizes=88x31 discovery link to my home page too
