It was a few years before I realized that worry stones had a name, that they were borrowed from cultures other and older than mine. Heck, it’s been more than a few years since I’ve even held one. But in the last few weeks, before and after launching the redesign, I’ve kept working away at this website, much as I’d distractedly run my fingers over a smooth, flat stone.

We talked about some improvements to indiewebify.me during tonight’s IndieWeb meetup. I think we landed on the idea that it is primarily a tool for developers, since it involves instructing people to change HTML. We discussed possibly changing it from a numbered list (or levels) to more of a “Choose Your Own Adventure” format.
“indiewebify.me is still very 2015 indieweb” — Tantek
As a first small step, I wanted to propose that we change the messaging so it’s clear it’s intended for developers and add some prominent links (perhaps in a top bar?) to other indieweb resources if you’re not a developer, like the getting started page. Since indiewebify.me can be some people’s first exposure to the indieweb, I think it is important that we don’t give the impression that indieweb = you have to be a developer. We should provide clear, inviting calls to action for non-developers.
Since it is largely a set of validators, I wonder if that should be part of the messaging, too. Something like “IndieWebify.me: indieweb validators for developers”?

"text": "Sixty-some days since my last roundup post? Well, glad I made no guarantees of consistency.\n\nCoronavirus\n\nWe are obviously in a pretty unique and scary time in the world right now due to the coronavirus pandemic. There is a slew of information and mis-information out there. I am by no means an expert, but wanted to pass along some resources I have found helpful. This won\u2019t be the entirety of this post. If you need to skip over it for your mental health, you can jump to the rest.\n\nWikipedia can be a good way to digest information without some of the media sensationalism and talking heads. It can also be a good way to avoid mis-information since Wikipedia editors are pretty good about maintaining reliable sources on the page. Obviously double-check things, though. There are separate pages specific to countries, territories, and many US states. I have found the California page helpful to keep up with the timeline of cases. h/t to Tantek for this tip.\n\t\nMike McHargue (Ask Science Mike) has been a good voice to listen to. He did a podcast episode on COVID-19 this week. He talked about our emotional reaction and facts about the disease / our bodies. I appreciated that he first acknowledged how scary this time is and the importance of recognizing our feelings so we can make healthy responses to the pandemic.\n\tIf you or a loved one need help with food assistance, paying bills, or other reduced-cost programs, try findhelp.org\n\nThe Rest\n\nI met up for drinks with my friend Clinton last week on the 10th. It was good to catch up and we had some good conversation about therapy and mental health. I have mostly been self-isolating since then. It\u2019s not very different from my normal since I work remotely. Not going to coffeeshops or meetups has taken a bit of a toll, though.\n\nI decided Friday night that we should have a virtual hangout. Several years ago the winetoreach crew would have them every week or two and they were always a good time. I proposed one for Saturday night and several people came by. It was great seeing faces and laughing together. We\u2019re planning another one this Saturday, March 21st at 4pm Pacific and I am sure we will continue having them more regularly. Winetoreach also has a Discord server for chat. Let me know if you\u2019d like to join the hangout this Saturday and/or the Discord server.\n\nOn Wednesday night there were some IndieWeb Meetups, one for east coast and one for west coast. Quite a few people turned out for both of them. We did have someone join the west coast to grief us, which reminds me we should keep the winetoreach links off of public Twitter.\n\nMy therapy has been going okay, though I should set up a more regular schedule. Unfortunately, during my last phone session the app did not cooperate so we had to use live chat instead. BetterHelp requires using the app so they can keep track of time and billing. I get it, but it was frustrating. I was already considering switching to in-person therapy and dropping BetterHelp. That\u2019s on hold for now, but I probably will do that once things are safer.\n\nI have been learning Spanish using Duolingo and am on a 76-day streak so far. It teaches some phrases I will never need, though, like \u201cyo no quiero mas pan.\u201d If you're on there, add gRegorLove as a friend so I can unlock that badge. Must. Complete. Badges.\n\nHere are some ways to connect, socialize, and entertain during these times:\n\n\nsocialdistancingfestival.com: find livestream events by creatives\n\t\nnetflixparty.com: browser extension to watch Netflix together and chat\n\tI hear there\u2019s a new Animal Crossing game out on Nintendo Switch. I\u2019ve not played previous versions much but I might check it out.\nWhat are some ways you\u2019re socializing online? Any recommended games or apps?\n\nIf you ever need to talk to someone, you can reach me a variety of ways: contact form, Twitter DM, gRegorLove on IRC freenode (webchat). Let\u2019s look out for each other.",
