Phew! After long awaited anticipation, I’ve built in a draft version of automated webmentions into my site, so now when I like and reply things from my Social Reader my site will send out a webmention immediately. No more 1-2 delays in my replies 😁🎉

The simplest option would just be to let people manually configure Indiepaper by having them enter their Bearer token and Micropub Endpoint from Aperture.

I think @aaronpk is considering making it possible to IndieAuth directly with a Microsub channel in Aperture, which would provide a better experience eventually. In the meantime a manual configuration option would still be useful.

This is a great addition! I would have loved this feature when I was new to the IndieWeb, so I’m sure it will be useful to many people! I’ll add it to my Indigenous IndieAuth help page 🙂

“The truth is that the ability to build Facebook-like services is relatively common. What was rare was the moral recklessness necessary to go through with it.” @doctorow #Indieweb http://locusmag.com/2018/07/cory-doctorow-zucks-empire-of-oily-rags/

“I Was Devastated”: Tim Berners-Lee, the Man Who Created the World Wide Web, Has Some Regrets | Vanity Fair

Are we headed toward an Orwellian future where a handful of corporations monitor and control our lives? Or are we on the verge of creating a better version of society online, one where the free flow of ideas and information helps cure disease, expose corruption, reverse injustices?

It’s hard to believe that anyone—even Zuckerberg—wants the 1984 version. He didn’t found Facebook to manipulate elections; Jack Dorsey and the other Twitter founders didn’t intend to give Donald Trump a digital bullhorn. And this is what makes Berners-Lee believe that this battle over our digital future can be won. As public outrage grows over the centralization of the Web, and as enlarging numbers of coders join the effort to decentralize it, he has visions of the rest of us rising up and joining him.

I whipped up a quick plugin for @WithKnown to publish GitHub issues and comments on your own site, with automatic syndication to GitHub via Bridgy – https://github.com/cleverdevil/Known-GitHub #OwnYourIssues #IndieWeb
#OwnYourIssues #IndieWeb

After we do this manually, it we would be good to brainstorm how we could potentially make the configuration discoverable from the user's website or microsub server, or both.

@jameshull We should be getting back to a more regular schedule for the LA area Homebrew Website Club soon if you're interested in some of this stuff: https://indieweb.org/next-hwc
Read Things We Left in the Old Web (kickscondor.com)

I wonder what happened with the maker community. Hackaday seems to link mostly to YouTube and Instructables. Top notch work is still posted there and all around us (and at /r/diy.) It just seems that the will to “make” your web has left this crowd.

I guess this brings us to the Indieweb where you can probably still call each other Netizens and bemoan the death of RSS. Even though it’s been around since 2013, I see a spark of hope in this ragtag group of HTMLists.

Thanks, Serena. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I don’t currently have plans to link the posts that appear on indiebookclub to a third-party service like Amazon or GoodReads. However, since the ISBN is sent in the micropub request to your site, plugin/theme developers could use that information to link the posts on their site to a third-party service.

I have made some improvements during the IndieWeb Summit which I will write more about soon. It’s now easier to make bookmarklets to pre-populate the new post form. This should allow developers to create few-click options for adding books without typing anything. It also makes it easier if you see someone else’s read post and want to quickly add it to your list.

Indigenous v1.0 is in the App Store! (Indigenous Development Log #3)

Add native support for Indiepaper

The web is the social network

IndieAuth for Micro.blog

@csageland sorry to miss you!
Best #IndieWebSummit yet!
Wide variety of sessions, hacks, demos. Check out session notes & videos: https://indieweb.org/2018/Schedule#Tuesday
And join us in chat! https://indieweb.org/discuss

Very interesting! This is timely considering all the reader stuff is taking off. It would make it a lot easier to post follow posts if the readers (which already send Micropub posts) created them when we started following a new feed (with our permission, of course). Looking forward to following and speaking into the development of this!

Once you get it set up, there is also a Microsub client on iOS (I made it): Indigenous

Do you use a hosted-Micro.blog? Unfortunately, I think the challenge is you have to add a Microsub link to the header Hosted-micro.blog’s, which doesn’t have built in support yet I don’t think.
