What’s cool about this: you can watch for mentions of whatever you want, and those come to you in the same app where your other feeds live.
Following Twitter searches in NetNewsWire looks super handy. Will have to add the #IndieWeb hashtag once this is released. -
by JamesBack to building some base infrastructure again. This time for adding / deleting syndication urls. Deleting is simple enough – it's just a (hidden) checkbox with a small stimulus controller setup to toggle its label text between "Remove" and "Undo".
Adding a secondary form also works. I output an empty formset form into my template then use a small action to copy it, replace the id and update the management form, 5 lines of code, half of which is variable definitions.
My goal is to be able to reuse this whenever I need to add multiple related records to a post without any modifications. -

It's a little bittersweet — on the one hand it feels good as I know that I have a new solution but, on the other, it feels a little sad that the fruits of so much time and effort are now redundant.
I feel this when I improve implementations all the time. Code reflects our best understanding of a given problem to a given solution at a given time. Requirements changing naturally means that the problem has also changed.
When writing code I try to remind myself that all is temporary and will be deleted or rewritten at some point, so I best not grow too fond of it.
