Hey folks, I made a thing for fun this weekend. I know that readme generators exist, but there were things I didn't like about all of them, so I made my own. I crave your input.

I'm not smart enough to know if this is a thing, but it seems like there must be a way to make it SEO friendly by using schema.org tags in the product listings, and then pulling form there.

Schema.org - Schema.org

Schema.org is a set of extensible schemas that enables webmasters to embed structured data on their web pages for use by search engines and other applications.

Yes, but ONLY Detroit style?

I’m at a bar in Chicago that sells only Detroit style pizza. Is that legal? 🍕

What if the data in the quick view were stored in data tags in the html and the modal built itself on demand, but rather than pulling the data with an http call, it just grabs it from the data tags?

Ah, I didn’t think about that. Yes, and that would be bad

Nope, I’m a big fan of footer

Topher @topher1kenobe.bsky.social · 12d

I'd probably do the footer thing.

Topher @topher1kenobe.bsky.social · 12d

I like the idea of the footer option because it would "load" so quickly. I don't know how that would impact initial page load or SEO though.

If a government tells you that you can't call it "authoritarian," it's authoritarian!

NEW: Stephen Miller says that Newsom calling the Trump administration authoritarian is "language that incites violence and terrorism". If a government tells you that you can't call it authoritarian, it's authoritarian.
