Aral Balkan<p>🥳 New Kitten Release</p><p>• Improved Markdown parser</p><p>Kitten’s JavaScript tagged template strings (`kitten.html`) no longer fail to render as expected when interpolated values are used inside of Markdown where the Markdown render changes source order.</p><p>So, for example, the following will now work correctly, whereas, previously, the link source and link text would have been erroneously flipped:</p><p>kitten.html`<br> &lt;markdown&gt;<br> [${linkText}](${linkSource})<br> &lt;/markdown&gt;<br>`</p><p>To implement the fix, I’ve moved Markdown rendering outside of the main render loop and into a pre-render stage and implemented a simple Markdown render tree that non-recursively handles all Markdown region renders.</p><p>More details: <a href="https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2025-07-21" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/br</span><span class="invisible">anch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2025-07-21</span></a></p><p>Run `kitten update` to update your dev machines.

Fried Chicken<p>Been thinking a lot about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/smallweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>smallweb</span></a> concepts lately and how to enable small creators of web content.

gmc<p>Since no-one talked me out of it, I'm going to start a peertube channel with retro tech under the name 'Scandinavian Retro'.</p><p>I already recorded the first frames, commissioned a theme tune, am blendering the leader visuals together and have a bunch of topics lined up. From 80s/90s home computers and technology to vintage internet protocols and the small web.</p><p>If you don't want to miss the first video, you can pre-order a subscription to the channel right now! It's completely free, and if I don't deliver, you get all of your money back, guaranteed!</p><p>It might take a month or two/three for the first video to show up though, things are a bit crazy around here, but if you subscribe now, you won't have to be afraid you'll mis it.</p><p><a href="https://video.chasmcity.net/c/ScandinavianRetro/videos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">video.chasmcity.net/c/Scandina…</a></p><p><a href="https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=Peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Peertube</span></a> <a href="https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=RetroTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroTech</span></a> <a href="https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=Retrotechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Retrotechnology</span></a> <a href="https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmallWeb</span></a></p>
