The only reason the very keyboard unfriendly WordPress Gutenberg editor can be a block editor is that it inserts tons of HTML comment elements starting with <!-- wp: in the code like for instance <!-- wp:paragraph -->…<!-- /wp:paragraph -->.
That makes the HTML even heavier than it already is, and getting rid of it wasn’t easy to find but is easy to do.
I wanted a JavaScript based solution, but could not find any quickly enough so for now these website based solutions work OK-ish when enabling the “clean comments” checkbox and then perform a clean action:

Earlier this year, someone mentioned Mastofeed. Then I found there are two kinds of Mastofeeds. Both have their own domain and their own repository. Both are free, so I wonder what their business models are as something or somebody needs to be the product. Both have to do with feeds and the ActivityPub protocol of the Fediverse (which mainly consists of Mastodon servers, but other types of servers are still growing). Both can be self-hosted. Both their directions and audience differs.
In short:
- mastofeed.org (mentioned to me first) is uses RSS as feed and posts entries to the Fediverse
- mastofeed.com (found later) uses Fediverse as feed and exposes entries as an HTML iframe using an HTTP API

A few years ago, [Wayback/Archive] An end to typographic widows on the web | Clagnut by Richard Rutter talked about the CSS style text-wrap:balance and wished for text-wrap:pretty.
By now, most browsers should have implemented both and – for body text – I would recommend setting them as default.
Rendering will be a tad slower, but you will hardly see any orphan words on the rendered last line of a paragraph.
Widows – the dangling line on a new page – is another thing, though people seem to confuse them according to Widows and orphans – Wikipedia (:

A while back (actually: a long time ago), in JavaScript Bookmarklet to enable Mastodon publishing for a WordPress.com post that is edited in the Classic Editor I promised to improve that code.
Actually I did improve the gist, but I forgot to write the blog post on it.
So below is the old code, new code, and explanation of the improvements.

I am so glad that TWM wrote this down: [Wayback/Archive] How to export Google Maps Timeline – twm’s blog
A while ago, Google changed Maps to no longer store the Timeline data on Google’s servers but only on an Android phone. It also supposedly encrypts that data. Optionally you can enable a “cloud backup” which stores an encrypted backup of that data on Google’s server so you can move your Timeline from one Android phone to another and don’t lose your history.
I’m not a huge fan of this change because it means that I can access my Timeline on my Android phone only and no longer in the web browser, but I guess Google got tired of those requests by various police and spy organizations for user’s Timeline data, so they made it technically impossible.
But I would like to at least see that data on my computer, so what can be done?
…
TWM then goes on with some steps, and then list links what you can do with the exported data which I extended below.
I wish there was an app what would automate the exporting process on a regular interval, or merge from multiple phones back into a single one. Oh, well: maybe one day…

I really like non-descriptive product names. In this case it is Wombat from which its name it is hard to deduct what it does. In this case it’s Wombat from [Wayback Webrecorder (digipres.club/@webrecorder) (@webrecorder_io) / Twitter which is used by the Wayback Machine given the error messages displayed in for instance the Chrome Developer tools when displaying an archived page.
In fact, it is the key library when you look at the repository description [Wayback/Archive] webrecorder/wombat: Wombat.js client-side rewriting library.
When looking at all the [Wayback/Archive] Webrecorder repositories of the [Wayback/Archive] Webrecorder organisation, luckily only a few of them have a non-descriptive name. Too bad Wombat is one of them.
In order to function, Wombat replaces many methods that pages can use to navigate. It does that in a way that is virtually impossible to work around and this bit me a while ago when writing a Bookmarklet that would navigate out of an archived Wayback Machine and would navigate to the wrong URL:
