      @raymondcamden yes you may—also I would note that this blog comes with ⌘+F search for free

   @zachleat Sounds like a case for `content-visibility`: https://web.dev/content-visibility/.

   1. Zach Leatherman 28 min later

      @tomayac I am extremely online, what content-visibility value is that

   @zachleat Got any good tools for ensuring anchor links don't change / are suitably redirected? Plenty of that kind of thing for standard links, but haven't seen much for anchor links

   1. Zach Leatherman 31 min later

      @stucox yeah! https://www.npmjs.com/package/check-html-links does anchor links

            @sarajw @zachleat @mattdsteele now I’m just imagining “All the single pages”

               @rob @sarajw @mattdsteele if you like it put a webring on it

                     @sarajw @rob @mattdsteele we are both great minds and we are thinking similarly

               @rob @zachleat @mattdsteele Hahahah!

               Cause if you liked it then you should have put webrings on it
               If you liked it then you shoulda put webrings on it
               Don't be mad that you just have to scroll to it
               If you liked it then you shoulda put webrings on it
               Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-pen source

   @zachleat .blogpost { display: none; } .blogpost:target, blogpost:has(:target){ display: initial; } for maximum tomfoolery

      @lewisdaleuk your head is in the right place

6. Falcon 10 min later

   @zachleat sounds good. Most folks create a static blog only to make 2 posts about how they created the static blog 😂

   1. Zach Leatherman 32 min later

      @falcon …I should make the eleventy-base-blog include a boilerplate post about how the blog was built 😅

7. Jason Garber 20 min later

   @zachleat infinite scroll

   1. Zach Leatherman 33 min later

      @jgarber my infinite scroll just jumps back to the top when you hit the bottom

      1. Jason Garber 52 min later

         @zachleat body { overflow-y: ouroboros; }

            @jgarber haha yes

8. Andrew Douglass 23 min later

   @zachleat base64 encode and inline all the pics, video, etc. for maximum single file archivability.

   1. Zach Leatherman 34 min later

      @ardouglass well, now we’re talking—now I’m curious how to lazy load an inlined image 😅

      1. Andrew Douglass 49 min later

         @zachleat I think this just has the not loaded/loaded state for the entire site. Maybe http streams can do something magical to load the file in chunks and the browser will still render it, idk.

         1. Zach Leatherman 1 hr later

            @ardouglass noscript progressive enhancement with a service worker maybe 😅 (JS-only though)

            1. Andrew Douglass 1 hr later

               @zachleat maybe turbolinks was actually good

9. Francis 🏴‍☠️ Gulotta 27 min later

   @zachleat it will still be smaller than the header image

   1. Zach Leatherman 34 min later

      @reconbot the “one fewer image” chants are still echoing!

10. Eric Carlisle 29 min later

    @zachleat Can I design the loading animation? I recommend a Zombo.com callback with the five-minute voiceover.
    "Welcome to zachleat.com. You can do anything at zachleat.com. Welcome to you who has visited zachleat.com..."

    @zachleat will it have a continually updating single entry rss feed?

    1. Zach Leatherman 3 hr later

       @dmc absolutely

    @zachleat doesn’t matter how tall it is when your markup is <div id=“app”>

    @zachleat I believe this is called a "book"

       @kylealden @zachleat wouldn’t scroll be more accurate for a single page?

       1. Kyle Pflug 2 hr later

          @aluhrs @zachleat I'll allow it.

       2. Zach Leatherman 2 hr later

    @zachleat what, like https://www.kryogenix.org/days/archives/ ? 🙂

    1. Zach Leatherman 3 hr later

       @sil oh my… where is the content though

       1. Stuart Langridge 3 hr later

          @zachleat while I suspect one page with every post from the last 21 years on it would still render faster than a bunch of JavaScript stuff, it’s probably a bridge too far :) but the titles alone is fast enough!

17. Sara Joy 3 hr later

    @zachleat I was like Oooh mine's all one page, but no, no the blog posts are on other pages. Scrolling is fun though
