Homebrew Website Club SF!
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.
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.
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.
I’m attending!
