Some reader progress, channels are now working! I'm not ready to change my reading habits just yet though, so my channel list still allows me to choose "all feeds". I think to change the way I read I need to add a few more features. The first is some sort of notification that a channel has new items, otherwise I'll just end up not checking some low volume channels.

The other thing I really want to add is setting a channel per author for multi-author feeds. There are two feeds I have in mind for this, the facebook and twitter atom feeds generated by Ryan's amazing services.

The last screen shot is of a small change I'm glad to see working, which is picking up when an item is being displayed from a feed on a domain that doesn't match the author. It now adds a little "via" link which helps when no other details of the feed are displayed.
I happened to stumble across the recorded livestream of @tantek's IndieWeb talk at the Decentralized Web Summit, so today I extracted just his talk from the livestream and published it as a standalone video! 📺▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9FSPcmybT8 #dwebsummit #dweb

For today's IndieWeb Challenge, Aaron Parecki did a great presentation on IndieAuth and had a text transcript of the QA time at the end. Today I took the transcript, shortened it up and bit and added it to the IndieAuth FAQ page on the wiki. Feel free to check it out and add your own FAQ suggestions!
Sad to say that the #indieweb part of my WordPress site is woefully broken. Time to accelerate v5 as I’m not inclined to figure out what’s broken at this point.

I don’t have much to add to the discussion but wanted to voice my dissatisfaction with Gutenberg and how it disrupts my recently discovered IndieWeb power (Webmentions). I considered switching to Jekyll, Hugo or Grav but ran into challenges migrating over 15 years of content and several thousand posts.

That’s bad news. But .. maybe not. I dislike Gutenberg. NOTE: Another webmention sent via the IndieWeb Webmention plugin. Did it work?

I think IndieWeb needs more content warning like in mastodon. I propose p-content-warning for this and I'll try to implement this at least on my own website.

Adding websub support to my blog

It’s increasingly clear that WordPress (steered by Automattic) isn’t particularly interested in blogging anymore. I agree that a solid, open source, turnkey solution for IndieWeb compatible personal websites is important. I also think Eddie is right that having several would be even better.

We have a great start in Known, which is what I use on my website, but we badly need more contributors. If you’re looking for a place to dive in and help solve this problem, I would highly encourage you to take a look at Known!

Eddie Hinkle I think we have some issues with brid.gy/webmention.io (not sure where's the problem) catching your syndicated stuff, your actions are doubled up! It feels weird.

Sometimes I'm afraid to post silly stuff that I can post on social networks to my website. But I think this is a thing I need to do - because that makes IndieWeb closer to the social networks! If you can post silly stuff on silos, why not post it on IndieWeb?

After discussing the finer points of multitags in the IndieWeb chat today, I decided to add support for it to my site. Thanks to my recent re-architecture in November, it was actually really quick and easy. Took less than 30 minutes!

I broke webmentions to bridgy

I'm gonna be debugging webmentions to Twitter, things are gonna get noisy.

My 2019-01-01 Commitment

This morning I gave a brief talk about IndieAuth at the @W3C Strong Authentication and Identity workshop. I just finished transcribing the recording and published the slides and video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeCNlB7v08I

ugh, that frustration when you wanna use a function on your site which you have broke yourself and you NEED to fix it... really good for #motivation #indieweb

I just got my new IndieAuth login screen to work for real! Successfully authenticated in Quill, confirming my identity on my server via password... I'm always excited when things work! #indieweb #programming

oh, hey, I found a bug in my code again! it wasn't sending any webmentions at all because it was crashing when searching for possible targets.
