Goodbye Google Analytics, Hello Fathom - daverupert.com

Dave stops feeding his site’s visitors data to Google. I wish more people (and companies) would join him.

There’s also an empowering #indieweb feeling about owning your analytics too. I pay for the server my analytics collector runs on. It’s on my own subdomain. It’s mine.

Zeldman on the IndieWeb

Looking forward to fiddling with my website at Homebrew Website Club this evening in the @Clearleft studio from 6pm-7:30pm. Come along and fiddle with your website.

Nothing Fails Like Success – A List Apart

On an individual and small collective basis, the IndieWeb already works. But does an IndieWeb approach scale to the general public? If it doesn’t scale yet, can we, who envision and design and build, create a new generation of tools that will help give birth to a flourishing, independent web? One that is as accessible to ordinary internet users as Twitter and Facebook and Instagram?

There are microformats parser libraries in a variety of languages, so adding parsing is the relatively easy step: http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2#Parsers

Mastodon and micro.blog publish microformats. Most WordPress themes publish legacy microformats1.

Most of the "big" readers don't support microformats yet, but the #indieweb community is making some progress. Check out @aaronpk's post https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet.

I use https://granary.io to convert my h-feed to Atom. It's more DRY than maintaining a separate XML file.

Textpattern and Webmention

HWC NYC Wrap-Up 2019-04-03

#HWC #NYC #IndieWeb #wrap-up

Indie web question: Any recommendations for a better WordPress plugin for sending webmentions? I’m using the Webmention plugin but it doesn’t seem to send a comprehensive webmention. See this. Or, am I doing something incorrectly?
