Homebrew Website Club SF!

The Homebrew Website Club is a growing world-wide network of meetups for everyone who wants to take back their web experience from social media silos, and own their online identities, content, and interactions.
Wonderful co-hosting our hybrid #IndieWeb + Local-First meetup with you @pvh!
Feeling inspired to build some #LocalFirst features into my site this weekend @IndieWebCamp Brighton. Thanks also for https://devdocs.io/ tip! Flight testing it soon :)
#IndieWeb #LocalFirst

There have been a lot of IndieWebCamps this year! This weekend is Brighton, England. Free, 2-day conference about controlling your content on the web. Check out the details on the IndieWeb wiki.

I'm going!

Looking forward to another IndieWeb Meetup! Join us 2-4pm this Saturday at Think Coffee Mercer, where we’ll discuss the recent IndieWebCamp NYC, work on personal website projects, and more!

After some warm-hearted arm-twisting by the incomparable @VeriousSmith, I've submitted a talk about #WordPress and #IndieWeb to @WordCampRS '19.
Talk or not, I look forward to seeing everyone Nov 8-10.

Introducing dark mode

Happy #PronounsDay! My pronouns are he/him/his, and you can read them programmatically on my website (using #Microformats), as described in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/04/10/pronouns-microformats/ It's super important to make them visible so folks everywhere are more comfortable sharing their pronouns

IndieWeb Link Sharing | Max Böck - Frontend Web Developer

Max describes how he does bookmarking on his own site—he’s got a bookmarklet for sharing links, like I do. But he goes further with a smart use of the “share target” section in his web app manifest, as described by Aaron.

By the way, Max’s upcoming talk at the Web Clerks conference in Vienna sounds like it’s going to be unmissable!

A little challenge

As I work on my new theme for this site, I noticed again that the old theme's way of dealing with the webmentions I send is not 100 per cent functional. Specifically, quite a few sites seem not to like the h-card here, which is present on every post as a <div> that contains pure <data> elements. More this way ...

Manton Reece - Saying goodbye to Facebook cross-posting

Facebook and even Instagram are at odds with the principles of the open web.

Related: Aaron is playing whack-a-mole with Instagram because he provides a servie to let users export their own photographs to their own websites.

Could I volunteer some web development time/energy to help any interested @RadioRookies journalists build their own websites/platforms for empowering/owning their voices, stories, and reporting portfolios? https://indieweb.org/Indieweb_for_Journalism

I saw Nicholas give this great talk at Paris Web on site deaths, the indie web, and publishing on your own site. That talk was in French, but these slides are (mostly) in English—I was able to follow along surprisingy easily!

WordPress Webmentions Plugin Version 4.0.0 Released by David ShanskeDavid Shanske
It has been a long while since a major release of webmentions, and it is not the end of the plans we have. It is merely the first step. In the lastest version, several useful features were added. Instead of an option to enable webmention support for pages, the plugin now let’s you select the optio...
If you've noticed https://OwnYourGram.com has been not working well lately, that's because Instagram is aggressively rate limiting certain requests.

I just updated it so that you can give it the URL of an individual photo and it will import it for you. Importing individual photos avoids a lot of the rate limiting issues so should work a lot better now.

If you've been missing some of your latest photos, feel free to log in and manually import them now!

This is one of the best end funniest uses I've seen yet for having a domain of one's own!
