Whitney Trettien (whitneyannetrettien.com)This is an online commonplace book for Whitney Trettien. You're welcome to use these notes and reading lists to guide you in your own studies.
Bonus points that Whitney calls it a Whiki! 🙂
Excited about setting up a #TiddlyWiki. Next step, try adding #TiddlyBlink. Soon I’ll have my own #DigitalGarden.

Ameya Warde (@ameyawarde) (Twitter)Do people still use @microformats? There's a blog post from last year but the wiki is full of broken links, and also the hcard generator includes AIM name :D.

(Just poking around the #IndieWeb /wiki for the first time as I'm working on my digital garden..)
I know there are many still actively using Microformats. Sometimes the wiki can have older examples and there’s always linkrot. On hCard (microformats v1), you’re probably better off looking at the newer h-card (v2) specification and examples. In skimming it tonight I notice that Mastodon isn’t listed on the page though they support it. My own site parses them to pull in author names, URLs, and avatars in the reply contexts on my posts.
I recently found https://indiewebify.me/ good in testing and fixing an h-card I set up on one of my wikis/digital gardens.
no, not this one https://t.co/3F63xzN09h

I remember you explaining how MT making permalinks have their own pages changed the nature of writing on blogs from a commonplace book to an essay collection
Collect and mark up digital images and texts, link them together, annotate them, invite friends to collaborate, publish with one click.
I came across it via
I’m excited to share a digital edition of Susanna Collet’s 17th-century commonplace book, held at @morganlibrary. @zoe_braccia & I made it using @digitalmappa. It features a full transcription/facsimile & a searchable library of Collet’s source texts.https://t.co/VSCMmBhMS6 pic.twitter.com/fyrbwS9kk1

which makes it sound like an off-label use case for their application. But given the functionality, it looks like it would fun/useful for those in the digital humanities space and could be a cool tool in one’s DoOO workshop.
Does anyone else have experience with it?

— whitney trettien (@whitneytrettien) April 7, 2021Collet was a member of the religious household at Little Gidding ca. 1630s. Her commonplace book is remarkably structured: one half scripture excerpts, organized by topic, the other half secular excerpts organized under the same topics.

— whitney trettien (@whitneytrettien) April 7, 2021In working with the manuscript, @zoe_braccia tracked down the sources of nearly excerpt. The edition highlights any variance between a source text and Collet’s copy using @digitalmappa’s hyperlinked assets. I discuss the significance of these differences in #CutCopyPasteBook. pic.twitter.com/nQ2dv99w4P
— whitney trettien (@whitneytrettien) April 7, 2021There are surprisingly few digital editions of commonplace books, especially given how the genre lends itself to digitization. What we've made isn't perfect but we hope it helps others think through/with these types of books. More about that here: https://t.co/XiNShKmQzz

I’ve seen some people building digital commonplace books in real time, but I’m also curious to see more academics doing it and seeing what tools and platforms they’re using to do it.
Given the prevalence for these in text, I’d be particularly curious to see them being done as .txt or .md files and then imported into platforms like Obsidian, Roam Research, Org Mode, TiddlyWiki, et al for cross linking and backlinking.
I’ve seen some evidence of people doing some of this with copies of the bible or Frankenstein, but yet to see anyone digitize and cross link old notebooks or commonplace books.

Steven Berlin Johnson (stevenberlinjohnson.com)...the frozen nature of the text seem more like a feature than a bug, something they’ve deliberated chosen, rather than a flaw that they didn’t have time to correct. ❧
How can I also connect this to the Jeremy Dean‘s idea of it helping to facilitate a conversation with texts. Nate Angell had a specific quote/annotation of it somewhere, but it might also reside in this document: Web Annotation as Conversation and Interruption.
Aquiles Carattino (aquiles.me)Should transclusion work both ways, embedding content and letting the source know that I did so? ❧
If the original quoted page changes, it could potentially send a webmention (technically a salmention in function) to all the pages that had previously mentioned it to create updates.
Automatic transclusion can also be more problematic in terms of original useful data being used as a vector of spam, graffiti, or other abuses.
As an example, I can “transclude” a portion of your page onto my own website as a reply context for my comment and syndicate a copy to Hypothes.is. If you’ve got Webmentions on your site, you’ll get a notification.
For several years now I’ve been considering why digital gardens/zettelkasten/commonplace books don’t implement webmention as a means of creating backlinks between wikis as a means of sites having conversations?
Note: I’ve also gone in and annotated a copy of Maggie Appleton’s article with some additional thoughts that Aquiles Carattino and others may appreciate.
I made good progress on my @hypothes_is SmartBlocks. Hoping to start testing soon. Current functionality:

1) Given an article, pull back all your annotations into blocks.
2) Given a date, return all annotations made from that date into blocks.
Any other needs? #roamcult
I’m watching this with high hopes something similar would work with @obsdmd. Come to think if it, if such an app were a Micropub client and these platforms all supported publishing via Micropub, then the one application would work across more platforms.
Two awesome and interesting WordPress query strings for browsing websites:
?orderby=modified
?orderby=comment_count
These could be used in combination with a /feed/ path to get an update of a WordPress site, potentially for updating posts within one’s digital garden and distributing as a feed.
