@olly @markhysted Wipr2 and wBlock. But it's as easy as you say. Rename the class and aria-label to btt or someting odd and it's working. But why does this only work in the custom body part and not the custom css? anyway - thanks Olly :)

@olly @markhysted @olly Site looks sleek 👍 But the BTT button gets eaten by the adblocker. I fought with that already on my bear blog. A lot of them don’t like the naming back-to-top naming.

@markhysted @olly thanks mark. That’s an interesting approach. For now I put mine in the footer because I want to have it available on pages too. I tried to implement a floating btt button but the script broke more on the blog than it helped 😬

@neatnik I think it’s a matter of how much of your own resources you’re willing to invest. I kinda get both your point and Olly’s. I already know enough to build and maintain a simple website, basically exactly what you described in your post. And I would recommend that to anyone running their own blog.
And I think you have a point when it comes to what “indie” actually means. If we’re talking about independence, building and hosting your own site yourself is probably the most indie way to do it.
Is this for everyone? Nope. And that’s okay. That’s exactly why we have so much variety. It’s okay to build your website yourself from the ground up, but it’s also okay to use services like Pika, Pagecord or Bear.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I prefer platforms like these over self-hosting and coding everything myself.
Originally I wanted to use this example:
“I could easily build my own Cisco network with enterprise Wi-Fi APs at home. But I don’t, because it’s too much hassle for private use. I also want my infrastructure at home to be as simple as possible, so my family can still get along with it when I’m not around.”
But now I realize that this comparison doesn’t quite work, because I’d be able to equip my house with Cisco enterprise products exactly the way I want without much trouble. That’s what I work with every day. That’s not the case with my HTML skills.
Damn… where was I going with this? 🤔
Okay. Would I be able to build a personal website exactly the way my slightly broken perfectionist brain wants it to be? Probably. With enough time, studying and coffee, very likely.
Am I ready to invest that time at this point in my life? No!
I really like how IndieWeb.org puts it:
“We are a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.”
I think there’s quite a bit of room within that d

@olly Good question. We already had an email conversation about it. I sometimes use it to share more personal stuff with family and friends. A hidden URL is probably enough in practice, but having a password just feels like a better layer of privacy to me. I can combine that with a random slug myself. 🙂

Ok. Now I also made the switch to Pagecord. I really, really need to stop this platform hopping. 😬
But man, @olly, you’ve been cooking lately. The native gallery, analytics, contact form and comments really caught me off guard. 😄
I really like where my blog is heading on Pagecord. But now I should start publishing more and shut down the perfectionism monster in me.
