Did you mean microformats? Webmentions are just (largely) requests being sent back and forth.

Good job y'all. You effectively decentralized the term "decentralize" to the point it doesn't mean anything in particular anymore.

Marty makes a quirky grin while staring into his phone

It looks like I will be speaking at IndieWeb Summit! Specifically, I’ll be giving a keynote about how to “Own Your Mobile Experience”.

As a long-time enthusiast for these tiny computers we carry, I try to make most of the things I can do online into things I can do on my phone or tablet. That turns out to be… a lot of things.

I’ll probably keep the technical details light, other than naming specific IndieWeb building blocks that each piece relies on. I plan to make a (set of?) posts on my site explaining the plumbing, afterwards.

With just about a week and a half left to plan my ~10-15 minute set of demos, here are some things I am thinking of discussing / demoing.

Reading! With an indie reader setup based on Microsub and the Indigenous iOS app.
- Including following folks on Instagram and Twitter with the help of Granary
Replying and responding to things I read directly on my site via Indigenous and Micropub.
Posting my own notes and photos with Indigenous and Micropub
Seeing notifications on my devices when someone posts a response to my own posts.
Doing so many things with Shortcuts
- Save articles to read later (similar to IndiePaper)
- Save podcasts to listen later (via huffduffer.com)
- Edit posts on my site and my private notes site via the Drafts app
- Upload images and other files to my site
- Track what I read (a Shortcut that extracts info from goodreads.com to post to my site)
- Track what I eat / drink
- Post iOS Live Photos as looping videos
Cheat a bit using external services
- Checkins with Swarm go to my site via ownyourswarm.p3k.io
- Podcast listening history with the Overcast app goes to my site via a script and the Overcast “All data” export
And other more exotic stuff that technically uses web apps but work well on mobile:
- Syndicating to Twitter and updating my post with the syndication URL thanks to micropublish.net
- Post silly animated GIF responses with kapowski.schmarty.net

Obviously this is too many things to demo in ~15 minutes. So, I’m looking for feedback!

What things on this list do you care to see most?

What things do you already do with mobile apps or social silos that you’d like to do on your website?

(Posted from an iPad mini, composed using Drafts, Micropub’d via Indigenous)

What things do you do with your website that you wished worked on mobile?

I had a couple extra hours last night before the scheduled server upgrade. Used the time to work on the book and made a bunch of progress, including editing the transcript of my audio interview with the IndieWeb co-founders last year.

Automate your outgoing webmentions

I’ve been kicking the tyres on this great new tool from Remy. Give it a URL and it’ll find all the links in its h-entrys and automatically send webmentions to them. Very cool!

The documentation on the site is excellent, guiding you to the right solution for your particular needs. Read Remy’s announcement:

I’ve also tried very hard to get the documentation to be as welcoming as I can. I’ve tried to think about my dear visitor and what they want to do with the software, rather than type my typical developer approach to documentation - listing all the features and options.

(Looking back on my old posts about WWDC from the 2000s is a great reminder of what the earlier conferences were like, and I wish I had more of those posts.)</p>\n\n<p>Arriving Saturday evening in San Jose, I rented a car and checked into my Airbnb. This is the first time I\u2019ve tried Airbnb for WWDC. Hotel prices are out of control and I thought it would be a good way to see a different part of the city. <a href=\"https://bitsplitting.org/\">Daniel</a> and I caught up over dinner.</p>\n\n<p>Sunday morning I drove up to San Francisco. I\u2019ve made it a tradition to visit the Walt Disney Family Museum every year, and moving the conference to San Jose hasn\u2019t deterred that. I stopped at Blue Bottle Coffee in San Mateo on the way.</p>\n\n<p>The special exhibit at the museum was Mickey Mouse drawings. It was an incredible collection. Afterward I had a bite to eat at the Presidio Picnic.

        "text": "Finally getting around to posting this. The last couple of weeks since WWDC have been busy. But as I usually do, I still want to capture a little of the week in San Jose. (Looking back on my old posts about WWDC from the 2000s is a great reminder of what the earlier conferences were like, and I wish I had more of those posts.)\n\nArriving Saturday evening in San Jose, I rented a car and checked into my Airbnb. This is the first time I\u2019ve tried Airbnb for WWDC. Hotel prices are out of control and I thought it would be a good way to see a different part of the city. Daniel and I caught up over dinner.\n\nSunday morning I drove up to San Francisco. I\u2019ve made it a tradition to visit the Walt Disney Family Museum every year, and moving the conference to San Jose hasn\u2019t deterred that. I stopped at Blue Bottle Coffee in San Mateo on the way.\n\nThe special exhibit at the museum was Mickey Mouse drawings. It was an incredible collection. Afterward I had a bite to eat at the Presidio Picnic. Fog covered the Golden Gate Bridge.\n\n  \n\nI picked up Jon Hays from SFO on the way back, and we stopped at the new visitor center for Apple\u2019s spaceship campus, then got coffee and lunch down the road at Chromatic Coffee.
