Hello and welcome to the indieweb! I think there is a tendency to think of those two principles from a developer perspective, like they are telling people to learn how to write HTML and do all the nitty gritty stuff. That isn't the intention, though. We can always improve the documentation on the wiki and would love to have you involved in the conversation.

I've discovered that mf2py not only allows me to parse people's h-cards, but to parse my own website in unit testing to see if the renderer outputs stuff correctly. #IndieWeb has some unexpected benefits!

Indieweb Updates and Thoughts

Hello and welcome to the indieweb - do come and talk to us at chat.indieweb.org - if you want to start a Homebrew Website Club in the Philippines we'd love to help.

Announcing Homebrew Website Club San Diego

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.

IndieKit: An IndieWeb publishing toolkit

#IndieWeb I love you and I'm glad to be here again 😍
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.
Also, I have a media endpoint, thanks to @martymcguire's development, Spano! So expect pictures of my life and maybe my cat.

Gonna try to make it to next week’s WordPress meetup in Austin. I use M.b for my blog now, of course, but we use WordPress for @coreint, and I’d like to talk to more bloggers about IndieWebCamp. @macgenie will also be at WordCamp Seattle this weekend!

indiekit | An IndieWeb publishing toolkit

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.

Blot – A blogging platform with no interface

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.
