gwit: gwit - Web sites over Git

sr.ht/~ivilata/gwit

gwit is a minimalist system for a Web of replicated, host-neutral, lightweight sites backed by Git.

Interesting system. However, this system is designed around the notion of keeping the history by default, which is wrong. History is to be thrown away by default, that's what the modern Web gets right.

BlueMap-Minecraft/BlueMap: A Minecraft mapping tool that creates 3D models of your Minecraft worlds and displays them in a web viewer.

github.com/BlueMap-Minecraft/BlueMap

BlueMap is a program that reads your Minecraft world files and generates not only a map, but also 3D-models of the whole surface.
With the web-app you then can look at those in your browser and basically view the world as if you were ingame!
Or just look at it from far away to get an overview.

Store Code Discussions in Git using Git Notes

wouterj.nl/2024/08/git-notes

Code discussions contain relevant information. Isn’t it a shame that we
keep these in the centralized GitHub/GitLab servers, far away from our
decentralized Git code? As soon as we move provider, we’ll lose all old
discussions! And how do you ever find the pull requests back from 5
years ago? Symfony has implemented a lightweight solution to this problem
years ago using a less-known feature of Git: Git Notes.

File System Alternatives

wiki.c2.com?FileSystemAlternatives

I am tired of hierarchical FileSystems. They grow into big messes over time (LimitsOfHierarchies). Let's discuss alternatives. Some have suggested using various kinds of databases so that one can query or view based on a wide variety of potentially orthogonal traits.

The C2 Ancients have good ideas.

P. S. Trying to save this page in Betula shows how bad and unfriendly the new “design” of WikiWikiWeb is.

In this article, Knut shares his advice against Markdown by looking back on why it was introduced in the first place, and by going through some of the major developments of content on the web.

The author tells how Markdown is used for different purposes.
