Aral Balkan<p>🥳 New Kitten Release</p><p>• Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly – `kitten.safelyAddHtml()` and `kitten.js()` – had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><a href="https://kitten.small-web.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">kitten.small-web.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>(Run `kitten update` to immediately install the latest version on your development machines.

Aral Balkan<p>So a few hours ago, I quietly switched the Small Technology Foundation web site over from the Hugo-based static site running on Site.js to the new dynamic version I built using Kitten*:</p><p><a href="https://small-tech.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">small-tech.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>What I initially thought would be a weekend project turned into three months :) (During which, Kitten improved a huge amount thanks to issues that surfaced while porting the site and implementing a custom CMS for it.)</p><p>I’ve tried not to break any links and my focus was on porting existing content first. If you notice any glaring issues please ping me. In the coming days I’ll be updating stuff (with my lovely new admin panel) and writing more about the porting process.</p><p>Also, with this, our last site using Site.js has been ported to Kitten so I’ll be archiving Site.js this week.</p><p>:kitten:💕</p><p>* <a href="https://kitten.small-web.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">kitten.small-web.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallTedhnologyFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmallTedhnologyFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmallTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmallWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Kitten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kitten</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>So in 2019 we were debating the motion “Entrepreneurs today do more harm than good” against the provost and one of the professors at Singapore Management University and we managed to flip an initial audience vote of 28% for / 72% against to 52% for / 48% against, thereby winning the debate.</p><p>The video of the event was locked in Facebook so, as part of my work on the new version of the Small Technology Foundation website, I just liberated it.</p><p>You can watch it at:<br><a href="https://vimeo.com/1086336391" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">vimeo.com/1086336391</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/PeopleFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeopleFarming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/debate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmallTech</span></a></p>
