@FedericoCulloca I haven't heard the episode yet, but I actually created a pronunciation page this past week for just this eventuality! If you know where Torvalds' original is, it would be great to document.

Just noticed @phhhoto shut down last year. https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/20/phhhoto-shuts-down/. Another #silo to remove from my homepage.

As you’re working on Sublime Feeds keep Microsub spec in mind. It could help with some pre-defined data layouts and also help you interoperate with other feed ecosystem. https://indieweb.org/Microsub

Thanks for your questions. Several of us took a stab at answering them in the IndieWeb wiki today. You can find the answers here: https://indieweb.org/Webmention-faq
I recall you said you were in the IndieWeb Slack channel, so if you need more specifics or help, please don't hesitate to stop by and one or more folks there will be happy to help you out the best we can.

These are some great questions! We’ve shared the blog post in the IndieWeb Slack/irc and are working on getting some answers. We’ll let you know when we have it all together! 🙂

Webstock ‘18: Jeremy Keith - Taking Back The Web on Vimeo

Here’s the talk I gave at Webstock earlier this year all about the indie web:

In these times of centralised services like Facebook, Twitter, and Medium, having your own website is downright disruptive. If you care about the longevity of your online presence, independent publishing is the way to go. But how can you get all the benefits of those third-party services while still owning your own data? By using the building blocks of the Indie Web, that’s how!

GDPR and the IndieWeb

@jgmac1106 @DoOO I think that one day in the not-too-distant future, the half a dozen IndieWeb plugins for WordPress will not only merge together, but they might also enter the core product, thus making them simpler and easier to use. WordPress can be made much more flexible and extensible with plugins for a variety of purposes and there's a tremendously valuable community and ecosystem that's already there. Further, I think that companies, similar to Reclaim Hosting and the DoOO movement, will eventually spring up to make hosting and owning one's own site simpler and easier. While there's a lot of value baked into Known, its community and resources aren't (yet!) as large or as flexible as WordPress or even other open source communities. Fortunately the IndieWeb principle of plurality will show us the way forward. The more things working toward openness and shared standards will make these ideas all the stronger.

While the recent spate of work on IndieReaders is awesome and inspiring, I'm also curious what is next after that? IndieBrowsers? IndieHardware?

Ultimately I'm grateful that we're all here pressing the boundaries and experimenting with what is possible.

Yeah it can definitely be confusing, especially because some people build their own websites, some want simple ways to get Wordpress functioning and micro.blog aims to be as close to 0 config as possible. So everything has different audiences 🙂 Feel free to ask me any questions you have as you try to figure out what you want to do. There is also a Slack community and IRC community for the IndieWeb where you can discussion questions and find answers: https://indieweb.org/discuss
