That sounds ideal, indeed! Maybe one of them will see the potential in this and steal a march on the others :)

Er, that is, @doisky.science.

Obviously the techie stuff here isn’t the hard bit, which is good because it’s not that hard. It’d be a challenge of organisation and interpersonal relationships. But it feels like it could fit in with the sort of world @edhagen.net is aiming for here?

I wonder if someone could hook up something based on DOI numbers? (I don’t know if even getting one of them is gatekept.) One might create doisky.science or something, create bluesky accounts @doisky.org, and give control of the account to the authors of each paper. Feels doable, ish?

I feel like bearing a medal you aren’t entitled to is the sort of thing that many supporters would have quite strong views on in other situations

Ah ok, fair enough. I’m not sure I entirely understand still but off you have something working then that’s a decent place to be. An annoying amount if the stuff I end up doing feels like it ought to admit of a fully general solution but actually I did a thing which works here but isn’t reusable!

that markup you've got there works fine to do exactly that, except you spelled srcset wrong, I think?

jsbin.com/duyexaz/1/ed... is the simplest approach I'm thinking of here but maybe I'm oversimplifying!

I might not have entirely understood the plan here though!

I think setting image size with sizes="blah" on the img for your different media queries will correctly set the width, as you say, and then css to set aspect-ratio on that img for each of the different media queries should set the height correctly. (I think just setting sizes alone may work!)

It took me three weeks to get to making these, but that gave the panettone a chance to go stale.
Delicious. Great work on the recipe! And it's fun mixing it all up with your hands, isn't it?

I'll buy that book if you publish it

I like this genre of thing. Slate have an occasional series dating back years doing the same thing and it's always eye-opening: slate.com/tag/if-it-ha...

same reason that antiseptic cream stings on a cut when it doesn't need to. If it's nice, people think it isn't having a healthy effect.

although simply www.kryogenix.org/days ought to work in every RSS reader anyway, usefully
