Over the weekend while I was working on my Letters from Europe page, I integrated footnotes using the Barefoot library. Completely forgot that @jsonbecker had already created a Bigfoot.js plug-in for Micro.blog. Anyway, now there are more plug-in options for footnotes!

beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It reminded me of a time when we had to pay for internet cafes.

“We won’t be connecting the PowerBook to the Internet again until we get to the next city, probably, but we should be checking email the rest of the week anyway. There’s a restaurant here that gives free Internet access when you order a dinner, which should be nice if it’s true.”

@Munish Thanks. The idea of an internet cafe must seem totally foreign to younger generations now. Even for me, it's almost hard to believe it used to work that way.

Japan has them even today and ppl sometimes use them in place of a capsule hotel, since many are designed as private rooms. There are also themed ones like “manga cafe” where you can binge the latest ONE PIECE or whatever.

thanks for this — I've installed the plugin, but is there a way I can tweak the dark mode behaviour? Essentially I just want to remove the final 5 lines of barefoot.min.css but I can't find that file in my Design page.

@adam Hmm, there's not a great way to edit it right now without duplicating the plug-in. I've just rolled out a change to the text color for the footnote popover so at least it be readable if your theme doesn't have its own dark mode. You should see an option to update the plug-in to the new version in a little while.

thanks — duplicating the plug-in hadn't occurred to me, but I've managed to get that working.
