@scottrut End indieweb rant.

In reply to @scottrut.

@scottrut Amazon owns it and its book database, which is why, even though things like its recommendations absolutely suck, and you don't have control of your data, and the archive they'll give you is quite limited, any alternative like Bookwyrm suffers from the problem of people being easily able to find and track books and get recommendations for new things to read.

In reply to @scottrut.

@scottrut It's reasonably accessible on the iPhone, and you use the app with the Goodreads website to track the books you're reading, have read, or want to read. It also has some social capabilities. You can have friends, for instance, and see what they're reading/want to read/have read.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis No.

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis absolutely burn you on these.

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis I totally get needing to pick a single editor, and in the case of sighted and blind content managers working together it's almost always going to have to be the block editor. But AV's declaration that it's accessible at this point is one hell of a reach. And we're still talking about simple sites. I'm just going to leave more complicated sites than basic text/image alone for now because spoiler alert: the block editor will +

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis You mean you resorted to copying all the html comments it uses for blocks? Because if so I should probably warn you that that workaround will work, until you encounter situations where it won't.

@Pawpower Also tell them that you regularly set things on fire for an extra freak-out bonus on their part. Entertaining every time.
