It's time for Small Web September Check-In 4!

The loose theme of this check-in is troubleshooting! Have you run into any unexpected problems accomplishing something that you'd like to do with your project? Maybe you have a feature that you want to implement, but have no idea what you'd need to look up in order to do that. Or are there any questions that you have about the small web (maybe terms you find confusing) that you'd like to ask?

Whatever it is, add it to the comments! There's no obligation to take part in the theme, of course - you can just add a progress update for your SWS project, or share anything you want to discuss. The sky's the limit \o/

A bonus discussion-starter (optional, so no pressure to include this!): What was something you didn't know how to do when you started out on your small web project(s) that you've since learned?

(This doesn't have to be during the challenge - it can be anything you've learned while doing small web stuff).

As a reminder, this is the fourth of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates for these posts in the event intro post. There’s no cut-off point for leaving comments on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but any discussion is welcome.

Also, a heads up that the date of our next check-in will be the 30th September (the last day of the challenge) - so whereas these normally go up on a Sunday/later on Saturday depending on your timezone, the last check-in will go up on Monday or late Sunday. So don't be alarmed if it hasn't arrived at the normal time!

For our last check-in with 'halfway point' goals and discussions, go here: Small Web September Check-In 3: Halfway Point

Yippee you guessed it how the fuck do i get a functional search with astro
Everything I've tried is only pulling an index from fics for some reason (this one I know the reason but not the others) and if it's gonna be fic only, do I really want it pulling from the body of text?
I'm kinda at my witsend with it tbh - everyone use the tag page instead-

[Edit: It's not only indexing fics, it's only indexing .html files when the standard file for astro is .astro. I can't find how to do anything about this and apparently no one has ever had this problem ever.]

If we're talking not just during this month, when I started this project I didn't know anything. I knew HTML... 4? 3? Which one was used on neopets? I had to learn all the stuff that had changed for HTML5 and learn CSS. Everything on my page I've learned on the fly.

I love the "liveblog" logs! Did you manually copy-paste tweets, or is there a speedy way to convert from a Twitter archive to a web page?

Thank you!! The actual answer is a bit of both; I started off copy-pasting and after a few thousand, I made a way to convert them but I did this in 2022 and over the past couple of years I've heard people saying they're going to make a better version this - I haven't seen any of these programs but they may be out there if you look! My version works with Excel and LibreCalc, results with other macro-friendly spreadsheet programs may vary.

It'll work for any twitter thread long as you can get the archive of the user data! You may want to edit the HTML output to fit your needs, I believe the one I uploaded is a very stripped down version so people can just edit it as they like.
