James' Coffee Blog
About Me 👋
Hello! I'm James (also capjamesg). My pronouns are he/him/his. This is my blog.
I like to brew coffee at home. I usually use the Aeropress, V60, Chemex, or Kalita Wave to brew my coffee.
On this blog, I share my thoughts on all things coffee and I interview people who work in coffee, with a particular emphasis on the Scottish coffee industry.
I sometimes write about websites and web development.
My email address is readers@jamesg.blog (public key for encryption). I sometimes post on Instagram.
I also contribute to the IndieWeb wiki. I have open sourced some code on GitHub.

Improving my social reader experience on mobile
Published on under the IndieWeb category.
A key requirement for my social reader is for it to be usable on mobile. To accomplish this goal, I have added some progressive web application features to my reader, enabling its use as an app I can save to my home screen. I have also spent a lot of time thinking about how the social reader should look on mobile.

Annotating my website page structure
Published on under the IndieWeb category.
While I was trying to figure out how to link a manifest.json file to my feed reader, I found myself looking at the source code behind Jeremy Keith's website home page. The fact that you can see the source code behind how a page loads is an amazing feature behind the web. You can see the code that tells a browser how a web page loads. Sometimes the source code behind a site is almost or completely illegible but there are plenty of sites out there whose code you can peruse.
