@Timoni #IndieWeb folks are building & using their sites as memexes, with unique personal features.
Twitter is not anyone’s memex but theirs; we POSSE copies there to invite others to explore ours.

I feel like the IndieWeb is a great example of commons-based peer production, as per Benkler’s definition:
radically decentralized, collaborative, and nonproprietary; based on sharing resources and outputs among widely distributed, loosely connected individuals who cooperate with each other without relying on either market signals or managerial commands.

This is very handy! Export your data from Ev’s blog and then import it into a static site generator of your choice.
You may have noticed the recent movement of people looking to get off Medium. Most of us are motivated by a desire to own our content, have data portability and get more control over how/where our content is displayed and monetized. Most importantly many of us consider our blog/site to be a core part of our online identity and while Medium offers a fantastic writing experience it sacrifices other important values. Luckily there’s a modern approach to running your blog which aligns with these ideals, its called the JAMstack and its all around us.

It shares a similar spirit of sharing and collaboration.\n\nHomebrew Website Clubs happen at various locations: London, San Francisco, Portland, Nuremberg, and more. Usually there on every second Wednesday.\n\nI started running Homebrew Website Club Brighton a while back. I tried the \u201cevery second Wednesday\u201d thing, but it was tricky to make that work. People found it hard to keep track of which Wednesdays were Homebrew days and which weren\u2019t. And if you missed one, then it would potentially be weeks between attending.\n\nSo I\u2019ve made it a weekly gathering. On Thursdays. That\u2019s mostly because Thursdays work for me: that\u2019s one of the evenings when Jessica has her ballet class, so it\u2019s the perfect time for me to spend a while in the company of fellow website owners.\n\nIf you\u2019re in Brighton and you have your own website (or you want to have your own website), you should come along. It\u2019s every Thursday from 6pm to 7:30pm \u2018round at the Clearleft studio on 68 Middle Street. Add it to your calendar.\n\nThere might be a Thursday when I\u2019m not around, but it\u2019s highly likely that Homebrew Website Club Brighton will happen anyway because either Trys, Benjamin or Cassie will be here.\n\n(I\u2019m at Homebrew Website Club Brighton right now, writing this. Remy is here too, working on some very cool webmention stuff.)\n\nThere\u2019s something else you should add to your calendar. We\u2019re going to have an Indie Web Camp in Brighton on October 19th and 20th. I realise that\u2019s quite a way off, but I\u2019m giving you plenty of advance warning so you can block out that weekend (and plan travel if you\u2019re coming from outside Brighton).\n\nIf you\u2019ve never been to an Indie Web Camp before, you should definitely come! It\u2019s indescribably fun and inspiring. The first day\u2014Saturday\u2014is a BarCamp-style day of discussions to really get the ideas flowing. Then the second day\u2014Sunday\u2014is all about designing, building, and making. The whole thing wraps up with demos.\n\nIt\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve had an Indie Web Camp in Brighton. You can catch up on the Brighton Indie Web Camps we had in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Since then I\u2019ve been to Indie Web Camps in Berlin, Nuremberg, and D\u00fcsseldorf, but it\u2019s going to be really nice to bring it back home.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be free to attend, but I\u2019ll set up an official ticket page on Ti.to to keep track of who\u2019s coming. I\u2019ll let you know when that\u2019s up and ready. In the meantime, you can register your interest in attending on the 2019 Indie Webcamp Brighton page on the Indie Web wiki.",

https://github.com/flaki your understanding is correct. microformats2 (specifically microformats.org/wiki/h-entry for a https://indieweb.org/reply ) would work well to mark-up such useful asides and other notes / comments regarding MDN pages, notifying those pages using Webmention, and handling them accordingly via moderation etc.
How those asides or notes are displayed on the MDN page is up to the design of the MDN page.
In addition Webmention also allows for easily submitting updates to such asides, notes, and comments and having them handled automatically for accepted submissions, or again via a moderation step.

Disappointed that Ghost created a custom posting API instead of adopting Micropub, which is a W3C recommendation. It’s okay to have Ghost-only APIs as long as you start with standards as a baseline. Now we have fragmented client apps.

Listened Episode 14 – Once a Quarter by 
David Shanske
Our first episode since January. David Shanske and Chris Aldrich get caught up on some recent IndieWebCamps, an article about IndieWeb in The New Yorker, changes within WordPress, and upcoming events.
GWG: “If you’re not there, it isn’t raining”
Came for the IndieWeb. Stayed for the poetry.
(Learned about some nice new features in IndieWeb WordPress too – including On This Day posts, and being able to have a feed where you exclude certain post types.)

"html": "<p>Sunday Paper is my collage of long-form articles, between 1,000 and 20,000 words, that I have saved during the weekend, that I found interesting and which I think require deep, slow thinking. I think they are a great way to read on a Sunday morning as a sort of personal Sunday newspaper.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n Once upon a time, it was not just that philosophy was a part of science; rather, science was a branch of philosophy. We need to remember that modern science began as natural philosophy \u2013 a development of philosophy, an admixture of philosophy and science. Today, we think of Galileo, Johannes Kepler, William Harvey, Robert Boyle, Christiaan Huygens, Robert Hooke, Edmond Halley and, of course, Isaac Newton as trailblazing scientists, while we think of Francis Bacon, Ren\u00e9 Descartes, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz as philosophers. That division is, however, something we impose on the past. It is profoundly anachronistic.<a href=\"https://aeon.co/essays/bring-back-science-and-philosophy-as-natural-philosophy?utm_source=pocket-newtab\">Natural philosophy redux</a> by <a href=\"https://aeon.co/users/nicholas-maxwell\">Nicholas Maxwell</a> in Aeon\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>We are understanding that we don\u2019t\u2019 understand AI.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n It seems that if we leave it up to the nine big companies that dominate the field of AI alone, we raise the spectre of a corporate controlled world of surveillance and conformity \u2013\u2013 especially so long as gender, ethnic and global diversity is also lacking among their ranks of employees at all levels of a company.

I think they are a great way to read on a Sunday morning as a sort of personal Sunday newspaper.\n\n Once upon a time, it was not just that philosophy was a part of science; rather, science was a branch of philosophy. We need to remember that modern science began as natural philosophy \u2013 a development of philosophy, an admixture of philosophy and science.
