At tonight's #HomebrewWebsiteClub, I managed to implement listing all my site's posts, using Micropub Query for All Posts - which is consumable with Indigenous for Android

So I mentioned the idea of making my homepage more dynamic. I don’t want it to be too difficult to do though. I have a concept of theming on my site. Since I can completely control the theme, this makes for a very interesting situation where, by leveraging Microformats JSON, I can dynamically render things on a page. For example, in this screenshot of my future site, I can have each section be determined by a property of a larger h-entry. The main text could be the e-summary, the headline text being p-name and the changelog region be a p-x-changelog that’d hold a list of embedded h-cites to other content that I’ve created!

As far as I know, there’s no such compatibility availability in a Micropub client for editing like this; they focus on providing particular post types and don’t seem to allow for “custom’ properties. However, the needed part is really just being able to push arbitrary properties to one’s post. The basis of this (for fetching) is already available thanks to q=source&url= in Micropub; you can fetch the MF2 representation of a post. This is enough to push new properties to a post.

My goal is to take Koype Publish and improve it to support this functionality of compositional content. Right now, it servers as a way for me to create long-form content and nothing more. This would allow me to do so much with my site. Some ideas I had was working on a “stack page” that’d serve as a h-entry with children for each thing that I can move around and adjust as if it was in a WYSIWYG setup.

What does the community think about such editing styles?

Liked Changes To IndieWeb Organizing, Brief Words At IndieWebCamp West by Tantek ÇelikTantek Çelik
A week ago Saturday morning co-organizer Chris Aldrich opened IndieWebCamp West and introduced the keynote speakers. After their inspiring talks he asked me to say a few words about changes we’re making in the IndieWeb community around organizing. This is an edited version of those words, rewritte...

Changes To IndieWeb Organizing, Brief Words At IndieWebCamp West

I shouldn’t call it a “blog” engine. It’ll be more than that. There’s a lot I want to do with my personal space that’s heavily influenced by stuff in the IndieWeb space as well as the Dat world and the setups today would require a LOT of tinkering to get there.

When I say Lighthouse here, I’m referring to a Webmention service I’m working on (https://lighthouse.black.af). Not the other thing.

Interesting to see Webmentions mentioned on this list of concepts around digital gardens! https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

The community part is something that’s still being worked on. We get through it by having something akin to planets that people can follow (try subscribing to https://stream.indieweb.org/ for example! check out https://indieweb.xyz!) but there’s definitely more that can be done. What kind of ideas do you have in mind?

I personally want to work towards having me define my community on my site (internally, of course) and let my tooling for subscribing to people adapt that and grow from there. That way, my site is always the authority to who and what I want to engage with.

Okay so I’ve managed to give Lighthouse a means of rendering a Microformats2 JSON (JF2) feed for incoming Webmentions and a h-feed. I want to hook this up to some sort of WebSub system so it can be polled against in “real time”. I have to clean up the dashboard so this information is more discoverable. I also need to work on making a help center of sorts.

Feeds

#rss #feeds #subscriptions #syndication #indieweb #blogs #blogging #personal #publishing #blogrolls

I don’t have refs used in the IndieWeb Elixir yet but I’m in favor of shorter keys!

Meetable should redirect /tag to /tags

Resisting the feudal Internet

This is what happens when you accidentally feed incorrect post data to #Blogblaze and the h-entry template rendering fails. #webdevelopment #frontend #Deno #webdesign #IndieWeb

Catching up on a couple of the sessions I missed at IndieWebCamp West. All the videos are linked on the schedule page here.

For all of y’all who make Twitter threads, now you can do that and then publish it BACK to your site using a standard in publishing content on the Web: Micropub! https://twitter.com/threadreaderapp/status/1276635958708862976
