It\u2019s a great opportunity for anyone who wants to reclaim their web experience from social media silos and own their online content and identity. If you don\u2019t have a personal site yet but want one, this can be a great community to help you get started! All types of creative people are welcome and you do not need to be a developer.\n\nWe are having an initial, soft launch meetup December 11, 2019 6\u20138pm at Subterranean Coffee in North Park. There are more details and RSVP available on the event page.\n\nIf you\u2019re interested but not near San Diego, you may still be in luck. There are meetups in several cities around the world: Austin, Brighton, NYC, London, and San Francisco. Many others are getting started or have occasional pop-up meetings. Find out more on the wiki. It is also pretty easy to start up your own meetup; it just takes two people and a cafe!",

quick update on Jekyll-IndieWeb — I’ll have the demo repo using it as a theme up and running tomorrow evening. I want to use GitHub Actions so can run and build the site with additional plugins but that’s not going to make it into the repo this weekend.

I've added HTTP/2 Server Push to my website. It doesn't help a lot though, considering that my current machine (which is even older than Sakura) is single-core and has a slow HDD. Most of processing time is taken up by... Micropub request. I need to optimize the backend and nurse Sakura back to life.

Paul’s been doing a lot of great work writin the code and the docs for this tool that creates micropub endpoints for static sites:
The immediate goal of this project is to provide a Micropub endpoint that can be hosted on a service like Heroku, configured via files stored on a GitHub repo, and save posts back to that repo for publishing with a static site generator such as Eleventy, Hugo or Jekyll.

This looks like a nice way to get a blog up and running:
Blot turns a folder into a blog. Drag-and-drop files inside to publish. Images, text files, Word Documents, Markdown and more become blog posts automatically.

It has been 3 years since the 2016 election. I hope you’re not waiting for Twitter or Facebook to fix their platforms. Posting to your blog is part of every solution to making the web better, and you can do that today. Start at Micro.blog or IndieWeb.org.

Here's a copy of a post I published there earlier today:\n\n\n\nI wrote a post back in July called IndieWeb Goals, which hoped to have more updates soon.... and here we are in November!\n\n\nOh well I don't feel too bad about that. I had a new project in mind and I wanted to build it in stages, but it sort of needed everything working at the same time so I just got to work on it instead. That project is now online at I Haza Website:\n\n\n\nI would love it if you checked it out! The idea behind it is that I was putting all this work into my IndieWeb tools, but not making them accessible to anyone else. Now working on your own tools is fine, I don't believe there should be any expectation to make things for everyone. But I found myself thinking, what if I could? There have been questions about whether the barrier to entry in the IndieWeb is too high, and I know lots of people are taking on that challenge but I wanted to have a go at working on that myself.\n\n\nThat's when I found myself falling down a rabbit hole to create a website that make websites. So I'm quite happy that it's only November. \ud83d\ude09 I have just finished building my own website at mblaney.xyz, and am now writing here instead of my old blog at unicyclic.com/mal.\n\n\nMy old website, unicyclic.com, remains an important part of my IndieWeb setup, but I have finally come around to the idea that everyone should have their own domain. Multi-user domains like unicyclic.com or anything in the Fediverse miss out on something important, which is that we each need to be in control of our own identity on the web, no matter where our website is hosted. I think this is only going to become more important as the IndieWeb gains momentum.\n\n\nSo back to this latest project. It works by pointing a domain name at an IP address it provides, and then verifying your email. Once that happens I've made adding a website to the server as automated as possible, I really didn't want to make too much extra work for myself if someone else wants to use it. (And I hope they do!)\n\n\nThis was the bulk of the work I've done over the last few months, the deploy process for Dobrado now requires just a few clicks and after that updates are automatic. That means if I want to make improvements or bug fixes to my own website, the easiest way to do that is to roll out a new update, which all websites will now get at the same time. It also means all hosted websites are fully featured, encrypted by default, and come pre-configured to do everything you would expect on the IndieWeb. I'm pretty happy to have all that working and think it's a great place to continue IndieWeb development from.\n\n\nThe hardest part was that I use my reader every day, and I really didn't want to run a feed parsing and caching service on every new website. I could've continued to log in to unicyclic.com as my reader, but I think that would've meant switching back and forth between websites all the time. So the logical step was to add a Microsub client to Dobrado, since it was already a Microsub server. Now each website created by i.haza.website gets configured as a client, with unicyclic.com working as a shared server. The access token required for this is automatically created when the website is set up, so it's all working by the time you log in.\n\n\nSo if you know someone who's keen to get involved in the IndieWeb but not sure how to get started, feel free to share this with them. I've tried to make the sign up process as simple as I could, but please use the contact form if you have any feedback.",
