Over the last month, I have been working with James Van Dyne on IndieWeb Utils, the Python library I published toward the end of last year. IndieWeb Utils aims to provide helper functions that are useful when building applications related to the IndieWeb. For instance, the library contains features like a function to send a webmention and a function to generate a reply context from a web page.

For all of those that subscribe to my website in a feed or social reader, you may have been wondering why a few pages that do not look like my regular blog posts showed up. The answer to that is that I am now working on a new project: a MediaWiki for sharing breakfast and coffee recommendations to which you can post from your own website.

The latest CSS Tricks newsletter has me energised about what browsers could be. The newsletter makes this point:

Breakfast and Coffee is a place to share your breakfast and coffee recommendations and find new eateries to visit. This page describes how the wiki is built. For information on the community and what to share on the wiki, please refer to the home page.

A coffee crawl is a planned journey where you visit multiple eateries and drink coffees in various establishments, commonly undertaken when a coffee lover visits a new city or area and wants to explore the local coffee scene.

Cheapshot Coffee is a takeaway coffee business that operates from a former police box on Marshall Street, a one minute walk away from the University of Edinburgh's Informatics Student Services building.

You can submit a post to Breakfast and Coffee by creating a new article on the wiki web page or by publishing a wiki entry on your own site and syndicating your post to the wiki using Webmentions.
