Byline Class and Time Tag 📰

I've been hacking on TIL to optimize our site for Safari Reader mode. A lot of this is black box, because Apple doesn't have easy-to-find documentation about how the feature works.

One thing that seems to matter is a class called byline for your author information, and an HTML tag time for the publication date. Here's an example, borrowed from this site:

<p class="byline">
  <%= name %>
  <time datetime="<%= inserted_at %>">
    <%= inserted_at %>
  </time>
</p>

It gives us relevant reader information, shown here in Safari:
