@davemillar Hey, David, are you still planning on coming to IndieWebCamp Austin? Would be great to see you there! https://2019.indieweb.org/austin

A journey to the underworld that is RDF

Just had a thought. I know you can run arbitrary Jekyll plugins in a GitHub action–I bet you can send/receive webmentions too!

Let’s bring Fan Sites and webrings back! - bryanlrobinson.com

As the commercial viability of the web grew, we saw more and more users become consumers and not creators. Many consumers see websites as black boxes full of magic that they could never understand. Because of this, they would never think to try to create something.

This is a shame. We lost a little piece of the magic of the web when this culture came about.

A call to action to create a fan site about something you love. It would be an unmonetisable enthusiasm. But it’s still worth doing:

  1. The act of creation itself is fun!
  2. Sharing something you love with the world is worthwhile.
  3. You’ll learn something.

So here’s the challenge:

  1. Create a Fan Site.
  2. Help someone create a Fan Site.
  3. Create a webring.

I still can’t believe it’s February! IndieWebCamp Austin is coming up in just a few weeks. You can register here for $5. It’s a great time to learn more about the open web or get help with your own site.

Fixed posting from IndieWeb-compatible apps (such as OwnYourGram or IndieBookClub) if they sent categories along with the new post. I didn’t realize that OwnYourGram will automatically convert Instagram hashtags into blog post categories. Neat!

Today you may have seen SSL errors on my domain. No, my private keys are safe. It's just that my domain was put on parking since I have forgot to renew it. Thankfully, the issue is resolved. Long live my #indieweb site! #domains #security

Great @mxbck post On Simplicity https://mxb.at/blog/on-simplicity/ via @adactio

Additionally: simpler approaches are more inclusive & accessible, e.g. #microformats & #indieweb

Fewer abstractions = less to learn before getting started.

Simpler = less time cost on plumbing, tooling; faster to build something more useful.

Less time required = more tinkerable by more people, especially those with less spare time on the margins = more inclusive and accessible.

The @microformats and @indiewebcamp communities have deliberately chosen explicitly simpler approaches:
* microformats.org/wiki/start-simple
* making #microformats2 even simpler: microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-origins#can_we_make_the_simplest_case_simpler
* The IndieWeb Building Blocks approach (https://indieweb.org/building-blocks) rather than a monolithic "Stack"

Choosing explicitly simpler approaches is more than just being smart & efficient, it’s ethically the right thing to do.

Simpler is a sociopolitical choice to deliberately provide more creative agency to more people. Beyond just more usable by more people, simpler technologies enable more people to build, adapt, alter, evolve their own tools of creation, rather than depending on a select privileged few to do so.

@dustyweb @sl007 great! Always awesome when hackathon demos work!
Any photos from y’all or the demo(s) at #wizardstower2019?

If you can post or link one in the next 30 min we should be able to get it into the This Week In The #IndieWeb newsletter.
