Going to go (early!) live around nowish continuing work on my hosted Webmention service! Pull up to https://jacky.wtf/twitch around then (and turn on notifications)!

And I’m live! Taking a different path today, going to work on making a IndieWeb-centric Webmention service that should be plug-n-play for other people to use (long-term goal is to have my site use it!)

Ten years ago the death of Blogger FTP two days before inspired introducing “the indie web” as a definite noun phrase:
> Blogger turned off FTP May 1st [2010] Who/what will step up for the indie web?
http://tantek.com/2010/123/t2/blogger-turned-off-ftp-what-indie-web-diso (https://twitter.com/t/status/13329370781)

“The indie web” was a name given to the collective us that used and still uses our domains for our actively independent web presence, a practice Blogger FTP helped enable for many years, for many people. Our sites worked (were at least viewable) without requiring (truly independent of) another web site or service being actively up & running.

Blogger FTP was a nice-to-have, even if/when it was down, your site and permalinks were still browsable, and you could still manually FTP and edit your site, your blog, on whatever generic web hosting service you were using. You could migrate your blog by FTPing your static storage files from one web host to another. Without any database export/import/(re)configuration.

Subsequently of course https://indiewebcamp.com/ was founded, eventually (and currently) https://indieweb.org/, recognizing a pre-existing practice by naming it and giving it a community focus. A community to discover & find each other, to actively collaborate, building on each other’s ideas & building blocks, evolving our sites, innovating the practical peer-to-peer web with a plurality of approaches, designs, interoperable implementations, and sustainable solutions.

Creating a 'Firehose' Feed

Splitting out my content feeds, so it's (hopefully) more applicable and less noisy for consumers.

Liked Displaying Webmentions on TiddlyWiki (BoffoSocko)
I've got a few mental models about how one might implement showing Webmentions in TiddlyWiki, but it may take some more thinking to figure out which way may be the best or most efficient.

Thanks to gRegor for the IndieWebCamp swag for Animal Crossing!

I am seriously considering to make a tool like @aaronpk‘s Teacup but with a ready-made extensible database of foods complete with their nutritional value for an #IndieWeb #ownyourdata #fooddiary. Are there any #microformats for this?

Represent the #indieweb on your Animal Crossing island! To get your own, access the kiosk in the Able Sisters store and search for Design ID MO-5MDH-M0LJ-3MX1.

Homebrew Website Club Notes

Constellations

I think I can expand the ????? a little bit:

  • Your microsub server is subscribed to that channel’s feed via WebSub, so it updates entries for the feed
  • Your microsub server notifies your social reader that there is a new post

To be honest, both of those bullets are kind of ??? themselves, as I don’t think any microsub server implementation has added WebSub. There’s an open issue for this for Aperture, for example.

Additionally, the Microsub spec doesn’t actually specify any streaming or real-time updates. There is an open issue for discussion this, though!

You’ve added to the discussion there with some fun extension ideas for EventSource and/or WebSockets, which sounds like a good approach to me!

I’m thinking about “instant feedback” for my social reader. I’ve already considered some things like immediately showing a post in a channel once it’s been submitted but realistically that occurs when:

  • a post is successfully published to its WebSub hub
  • the WebSub hub sends the update to all of its clients
  • ?????
  • my social reader adds it into the view for the timeline

The question markers would be replaced with things like “my chosen microsub server subscribes to my preferred WebSub hub” but that’d be the hub exposed by the feeds in a particular timeline, no? Thus triggering the need to re-poll the microsub server and update its timeline representation.

Was wondering why the calendar entry for #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham wasn't in my calendar - it's cause I'd got the date wrong on the event (doh!) - it's updated now and I hope to see you there tomorrow https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-nottingham-q0LsZr0uDBS7
