Just found @agiletortoise’s post to Micro.blog action for Drafts5 and realized it’s using micropub so I can modify and post directly to my WordPress site. https://actions.getdrafts.com/a/1Dj

I don't completely agree with this sentiment, but it was still a fun read: https://stackingthebricks.com/how-blogs-broke-the-web/ #indieweb

Fun episode! Thanks for the shout out about 🕸💍!

Currently signing up requires a full on IndieAuth setup, which can be done with an extra template. I plan to add support for RelMeAuth soon, thanks to indielogin.com!

We posted a new episode of Core Intuition this week with a summary of my time at IndieWeb Summit and more.

My solution to avoid the pain of renewing domains every year: register them for 5 years at a time. 😂💸

It would also be nice to add IndieAuth to the Indiepaper website, which could then generate bookmarklets and macOS configuration links automatically based upon the IndieAuth exchange.

For the use case of Aperture, the user would log into www.indiepaper.io with https://aperture.p3k.io, and then would select a channel to publish to during the auth flow.

A major missing feature from the Big search engines is that they don’t bother understanding the richer microformats2 content on many IndieWeb enabled sites. Data like “this a like of that post” and “this is a reply to some other post”.

Ryan Barrett did some great exploratory work last year on a microformats2-enabled crawler and on the resulting data set: http://indiemap.org/

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.
