quicklinks: Prototyping/2025-2026/XPUB2

Workshop ideas

1. web inspector
2. website programming (back-end)
3. readme files: how are they used? how are they 'misued'? (what else can we do with them?), history, why?
4. collective gitPub

Prototypes – documented

GitPub #1. gitpub

Prototypes – to be made

• turn an e-reader into a server (?)
  • resources:
  • https://varia.zone/en/free-your-ereader.html (maybe ask those people)
  • connect to your e-reader via ssh using koreader software
  • e-reader in the xml: Kobo glo hd (working?)
  • ereader linux
  • Termux on e-reader guide

• rapid prototype cms (how? maybe a .py or .sh script that publishes to the web?)
• a gitpub web based -publication version (using js api)
• play with the etherpad (version control?) api
• build a (custom) server for Terms of Servers with Claudio and revisit the publication with it
  • would it be possible to make this a rapid prototype? >> what is the simplest server possible?
• #2. Version control writing

Tutorials / Feedback

questions for michael:

1. gitPub relating:
   1. major issue was using fetch but then wanting to print, is there a way to turn fetch site into static?
   2. stepping towards sharing/ making it available to others: my api token? sorting files...
2. server on an e-reader, possible?

1.

• dont use git api but just the git structure, you have most in your (local repository) anyway - there are python libraries to interface with git
• porcelain commands
• what are features that are not on git but only platform? (wiki, issues also not, no pull requests)
• poetry to package python projects or uv tool
• aiming for sharing scripts

---

2.

• opds feed (on koreader software)
• bootleg library uses calibre
• it has a .txt editor that can generate a qr code to share the text
• eventual difficulty to connect to wifi not as client but serving (kobo outgoing network) -> some hardware is not capable of doing host mode (dig into the hardware) >> if they dont have the hardware look into routers (tp link, openWrt is firmware that you can use to flash devices and make them host mode capable)
  • capative portal / pirate box

w/ manetta

• constant did a publication with version control (what? when?)
• etherpad versioncontrol
• use forking for research on git to create multiple branches/ traces
• navigating a publication like a vein
• a prototype with git that makes me feel the way it writes on to me, how would that transform into layout
• what else would I like to/ could I open up?
