This is because I also don’t want to deal with silo interfaces most of the time.
I’ve been really enjoying the focus on personal websites that Vi Hart and M Eifler aka blinkpopshift have been putting into their recent Patrons-only VIM LIVE streams.
In addition to some great discussion about subscribing to RSS feeds of personal sites, I have really enjoyed the homework-slash-games like “post something on your website” and “collect what you might have tweeted into a blog”.
I think there’s a lot that the IndieWeb can learn from discussions like these as folks from different backgrounds are (re-)discovering what the web can be.
You can find previous and future VIM LIVE streams by supporting blinkpopshift or Vi Hart on Patreon.

If with that change we have sufficiently resolved this issue 36, go ahead and close it. Thanks!
XRay, the library that I use to parse URLs to show comments, now supports parsing direct Microformats JSON, ActivityStreams 2.0, as well as finding a rel=alternate link and parsing data from that instead!
This means I now get great results when parsing Mastodon or other ActivityPub links, and this is also the first step in what I hope will result in fixing the Microformats situation for WordPress, since a WordPress plugin will be able to generate Microformats JSON and advertise that in a rel=alternate link.
Next up is updating Aperture to take advantage of these new features!
Uh oh. Just realized that when I made a change to my automatic webmention sending code just before going to the hospital broke sending webmentions to everything other than Bridgy. Now I’m gonna have to go back, find and resend the webmentions that weren’t sent previously.
Manton Reece - Anchor on free podcasting
Anchor seems to be going for the YouTube model. They want a huge number of people to use their platform. But the concentration of so much media in one place is one of the problems with today’s web. Massive social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have too much power over writers, photographers, and video creators. We do not want that for podcasts.
A Talk with the Pioneering Internet Art Collective JODI -ARTnews
“It’s almost too easy now, and too unsatisfying that you only can put your work in a community full of advertisements and full of tracking,” she said. “I think there will be this urge, on the one hand, to have a local internet of small communities, and, on the other hand, a decentralized internet again.”
“You can still make websites nowadays,” Heemskerk said. “People think it’s complex, but it isn’t —you just register your domain and make your website and that’s about it.”
I have some swift Micropub stuff I’ve done that hasn’t been packaged up into a nice library but is available to take whatever is helpful. https://github.com/EdwardHinkle/indigenous-ios/tree/develop/Micropub
Adding mf2 to themes would allow easy integration with Webmentions and greater IndieWeb
WPRig has a lot of cross over with a project I’ve been working on and if could get mf2 in wprig, I would mothball my project. I’m offering to work on a PR, but wanted to gauge interest before embarking on it.
Since IndiePaper sends a Micropub request to another server you would remove the post through whatever means the server supports.
If it’s a Microsub Server like Aperture, you can delete posts using a Microsub client.
If it’s a Micropub Server you would use whatever methods the Micropub server supports to delete the post.
