One of many default browser styles that I always change!

All browsers add an 8px margin on the body element – it’s part of the w3c-recommended default stylesheet which browsers generally use as a starting point for their own ‘user agent’ styles. But why 8px? Where does that come from?

Yes getting it all up and running is challenging, but when it works it feels like magic and the enthusiasm of the community makes it worth it!

We have the technology to implement a slow social network of personal sites. I’m excited to keep playing with that code. But proving the concept is not the same as actually making it easy & accessible in a way that can replace platforms.

For my own reference, to find/replace the linked mastodon post for a post on Known in MySQL:

update entities set contents = replace(contents, 'old-post-id', 'new-post-id');

I might want to add the mastodon link to the post edit UI to be a bit more robust...
