New blogpost: "Trialling a move from a NUC to a container"

I spent some time today setting up a container to run my webserver and related tools (including mkdocs and hugo), as a test replacement for the current Intel NUC.

A current unknown - nothing like testing in production :) - is how well this small container will stand up to a lot of fedi-originated traffic. This is that test.

New Kitten feature: Icons!

You can now make use of a subset of the icons in the Phosphor icons set by @minoraxis and @rektdeckard.

kitten.small-web.org/reference

Search through them in your editor by referencing `kitten.icons.categories` and `kitten.icons.tags`.

Add this to a file called index.page.js and run `kitten` to see a large duotone pink cat (because why not?):

export default function () {
return kitten.html`
<${kitten.icons.c.Cat}
size=40%
weight=duotone
colour=deeppink
/>
`
}

(And yes, the set includes icons for the fediverse. This one of the reasons I chose it.) ;)

Enjoy!

:kitten:💕

Screenshot of the all icons example at the end of this section showing the icons sorted alphabetically and rendered in duotone deep pink. The icons starting with a and b are visible in the browser.

👆 Sorry, life got in the way; just deployed this but I haven’t had a chance to document it properly yet. I’ll make a proper announcement when I do.

Also, you can now use the `delete` attribute on a DOM node/Kitten component you’re streaming back from the server to have it removed from the DOM on the client. It’s syntactic sugar for hx-swap-oob='delete' in htmx.

I forgot about one valuable improvment 🙂. I've slightly played with media query for print media — so now every blogpost can be printed or exported to PDF without big image in header and unnecessary footer

Firefox print dialog with preview of blogpost to print on black and white printer. There are no header and footer from the blog and black and white colors.

Coming tomorrow to Kitten… Kitten icons!

Kitten will have built-in support for the Phosphor icons set with full authoring-time language intelligence where you can search for icons via category and tag (in addition to the canonical alphabetical categorisation).

Thought this was going to take me a few hours but it took a few days thanks to running into issues with size limits, type inference from JavaScript types in modules, etc., with the TypeScript language server but I believe I’ve finally cracked it :)

Screenshot of detail of a Kitten template open in a code editor. Author is editing Kitten component reference in a markdown block, within a H2 header. The caret is at <${kitten.icons.tags. and the autocompletion box is open showing a list of possible fields: a11y, accessibility, accessible, accomodations, account, accounts, accuracy, acrobat, activity, add. The reasty of the line of code reads } weight=duotone size=1.5em/>

I had a lot of fun in the last few weeks with rebuilding my website and adding new content to it. It was / is a nice distraction from my health issues. To "celebrate" the birth of the new website, I wrote my take on the "Blog Questions Challenge":

https://kedara.eu/blog/2025/04/blog-questions-challenge/

I'm very grateful to all those great people with fun personal websites who inspired me to bring my own site back to life. There are too much to list, but special thanks to @shellsharks @brentdev @benji @anarodrigues for inspiring me. It's a bit early for #FollowFriday but consider these my contributions for next Friday and of course, check out their websites!

Hi. I'm terrified.

I've been trying to make my own space on the web for years. And I've been stuck. Badly.

But today is my birthday. And I refuse to let another year pass without putting something—anything—out there.

So here it is in all its messy glory. My first post on my barely-there #website: fromemily.com/hi-im-terrified/

It's not great. But it's okay...enough.

And I hope it means something to someone.
