Playing with the Indieweb

A good half-hour presentation by Stephen Rushe on the building blocks of the indie web. You can watch the video or look through the slides.

I’ve recently been exploring the world of the IndieWeb, and owning my own content rather than being reliant on the continued existence of “silos” to maintain it. This has led me to discover the varied eco-system of IndieWeb, such as IndieAuth, Microformats, Micropub, Webmentions, Microsub, POSSE, and PESOS.

Interesting, definitely good food for thought! I appreciate your analysis on not only Micro.blog but the IndieWeb in general. All things take time to mature into the best version of itself. As more people hear about the IndieWeb it allows each new ring of people to help provide input on what blockades exist for the next ring of people.

My OwnYourSwarm/WordPress relationship is a love/hate one. Keep having the account disabled due to “Your Micropub endpoint returned an error too many times in a row.

Sometimes manually adding previous check-ins through the dashboard works.

The #indieweb recognizes that right now it’s still at that stage but is constantly working towards easier and more access https://indieweb.org/generations

Enhancement: Add support for microformats(mf2)

I need to keep a list of draft notes to use for testing micropub so I’m not just saying "testing"

At 13:20 in IndieWeb with Wordpress Tutorial: Themes and Microformats, the indieweb wordpress themes wiki page is referenced and a fork of the twentysixteen wordpress theme is mentioned. Is that theme the same as this 2016-child-theme-for-indieweb github repo and is it meant to be used with the mf2 wordpress plugin?

I have started to think of Micro.blog as a wonderful discovery and aggregation service for the IndieWeb. It fits neatly into my Microsub reader, enables me to find new people to follow and interact with, and integrates perfectly with my website through Webmentions. 👏🏻

Micro.blog updates and expanding Indiepaper

If you’re still available for the scheduled time later today, I’ll send you the Anchor url over iMessage (from your contact page) just before 2pm. You might want to download the Anchor app before that. The URL will bring you into the call.

The general planned structure is below, but if the conversation takes us in a specific direction, we’ll just go with it. 👍 I’ll generally try to prompt you with the questions as we go, but if we organically go from one to the other, we’ll just go with it. Anchor will record the entire thing, but I’ll edit it down, so we can chat for a minute before I start the “official intro”.

  • Short intro, ending with asking for your URL

Social (about 15 minutes)

  • Introduce yourself
  • How did you discover the IndieWeb?
  • What does being part of the IndieWeb mean to you?
  • What IndieWebCamp events have you attended, and were there any that stuck out to you in a special way?
  • Is there anything new or any changes you hope to see in the IndieWeb community over the next year?

Tech (about 15 minutes)

  • What service or software powers your website?
  • What is something you’ve added or built on your website recently that you are particularly happy with?
  • Have you run into any challenges or problems recently that you’d like help with from the IndieWeb community?
  • What is the next thing you’d like to do with your website?
On a plane to Boston! ✈️ I'll be giving a talk at @DevConf_us this weekend!

If you're in the area I'd love to meet up and talk about all things #oauth #indieweb and more!

That’s what I do. I reply on my website with a Micropub post, send a webmention to Micro.blog, and I have a custom feed called microblog.json (JSON Feed) that only provides the posts I want (no replies, etc). Replies in the feed would create duplicate posts inside of Mb

I use Indigenous for iOS to post to my personal site via micropub, and my personal site feeds my micro.blog. It’s nice and simple on micro.blog (★ [url]), and my site does some extra legwork to show a link preview. My micropub handler uses a lib by @aaronpk called XRay to get the link preview data, then my Jekyll template renders it on the page.

Just write.

What you write might help someone understand a concept that you may think has been covered enough before. We each have our own unique perspectives and writing styles.

Yes! This!!

That voice telling you that people are just sitting somewhere watching our every step and judging us based on the popularity of our writing is a big fat pathetic attention-needing liar.
