The Missing Building Blocks of the Web – Anil Dash – Medium

Anil documents the steady decline of empowering features from web browsers: view source; in-situ authoring; transclusion, but finishes with the greatest loss of all: your own website at your own address.

There are no technical barriers for why we couldn’t share our photos to our own sites instead of to Instagram, or why we couldn’t post stupid memes to our own web address instead of on Facebook or Reddit. There are social barriers, of course — if we stubbornly used our own websites right now, none of our family or friends would see our stuff. Yet there’s been a dogged community of web nerds working on that problem for a decade or two, trying to see if they can get the ease or convenience of sharing on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram to work across a distributed network where everyone has their own websites.

(Although it’s a bit of shame that Anil posted this on Ev’s blog instead of his own.)

@SchumakerA Seeing your bio, I'll also note that there's a number of educators and related edtech folks in the #IndieWeb as well. https://indieweb.org/Indieweb_for_Education
Happy to help if you have any questions.
Thinking about going #IndieWeb, but haven't made a platform choice? @GrabaPerch is an interesting choice with Webmention support and more. Also currently on sale! #DeleteFacebook

“there are two kinds of companies, those that feed on customer ignorance compared to those who prosper via customer savvy . I think it is obvious to all, at least now, that Facebook needs customer ignorance to survive.” https://www.easydns.com/blog/2018/03/26/should-you-delete-your-facebook-page/ #indieweb
“the social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter… are: The Spew.
It is like a global garbage pile of digital flotsam and jetsam, over which peasants scurry around and scour, looking for some morsel here, a crumb there, which can be monetized.” https://www.easydns.com/blog/2018/03/26/should-you-delete-your-facebook-page/ #indieweb
Why does @jamespoulos think the BBC is a bad thing? “Facebook might soon become a 21st-century BBC. But outside its walled gardens, the wilds of online won't be so easily tamed.” https://amp.thedailybeast.com/facebooks-existential-crisis-isnt-what-you-think-it-is?__indieweb_impr...

As with anything, there will always be people on all spectrums of belief. But just know, the IndieWeb has defined 4 generations of potential users (https://indieweb.org/generations) because we believe that a world can exist where people that don’t have to build their own website in order to own their data. However until the tooling is advanced enough, only the earlier generations will be able to effectively own their data.

The internet that took over the Internet

How are these currently being imported into Microsub?

Also, micro.blog with Monocle is a little bit more complicated because Monocle is Microsub (reading API) plus Micropub (posting API). Micro.blog currently supports a subset of Micropub (intentionally), and Microsub is still so new, that while I think there are eventual plans to add support, it’ll probably be a little while.

Using Twitter for OAuth 2.0 is just a first step into the IndieWeb. IndieAuth can technically support all sorts of login options (emails, mobile login, passwords, etc) @manton has expressed that he has plans for deeper IndieAuth integration in micro.blog, and David Shanske is currently working on an IndieAuth plug-in for WordPress that will allow the use of the Wordpress User/Pass to login to Quill and other Micropub clients

I think it might be time to turn off email notifications from GitHub since it's nicer to read these in Monocle where I can reply inline!
