How to deploy a webpage in 2022

Instructions for getting a [mostly] static website onto a custom domain, with https encryption, for [mostly] free. I'm finally writing this down after getting stuck on step 10 way too many times. Godspeed.

  1. Purchase the top-level domain - gandi.net is my current preferred registrar. Hopefully this will be the only cash you drop in this process.
  2. Create a new public repository on github.
  3. Clone the new repo locally and create your site content package, even starting with something as simple as a standalone index.html.
  4. Add a file called CNAME to the repo, containing only a single line with your just-purchased domain in it. e.g. domain.com.
  5. Commit the content to github.
  6. In the settings --> pages menu of the repository on github.com, point to the correct branch, and enter the domain under "Cu

A summary of conversations I've had with current, former and future Code for America fellows.
  • Who's your customer? The department or the citizen. What’s your product? The negotiated-design process or the actual outcome itself. These things are interrelated, but ensure the entire team is aligned and in agreement on what it is you’re doing and what the outcome is you want. What do you want to say you built at the end-of-year summit? The earlier you can figure this out, the better your year will go. Project uncertainty is the mind-killer.

  • Don't negotiate with yourselves. My team would have achieved so much more if we had come to an agreement internally on how to proceed in our city design negotiations, and let CfA staff tell us if we were unreasonable. Instead, we watered down what we wanted, caved on major issues, and negotiated individually with our city partners rather than as a team.

  • Invest your time in one thing for the entire year. Your understanding of the civic problem-space may change and evolve, but creating a commitment (individually, as a team, and in your city-

Getting credentials for the Mastodon API with Mastodon.py, step by step

Making a bot? Making a bot in Python? Making a bot in Python that uses the Mastodon API? If so, chances are you need to get some credentials. Here's how I did it!

(The following tutorial uses Python 2.7, but if you're using Python 3+ everything should work substantially the same.)

Mastodon.py authentication

I just started using it, but it looks like Mastodon.py is a pretty great library for working with the Mastodon API! However, all of the authentication examples use static files to store credentials, which I don't like—I'm afraid I'll accidentally push them to Github. I like to keep my authentication as close to the actual command that runs the program as possible, so usually I pass them on the command line to the script running my bot. To do this, I need to get the appropriate credentials on their own, as separate strings that I can cut and paste.
