It was important for me to keep in contact with people from there, so I started setting up a newsletter. I intended to post a farewell notice and let people subscribe to stay in touch.

With the recent Twitter events, I\u2019m spurred to get this done and quickly.\n\nMy near-term plan is to finish up the newsletter subscription system, publish a How to Follow Me page with details of the newsletter, my feeds, and even Mastodon to follow along. Then I will write an announcement post on Twitter and pin it. I will probably change my display name to \u201cFind me at gregorlove.com.\u201d In the following months, I may make my Twitter account private.\n\nI have my Twitter export and intend to archive them all on my site and delete them from Twitter, but that is a longer-term project.

So Mastodon 4 went js;dr, which means it requires JavaScript to render content. That means that server-side fetches of Mastodon 4 user profiles and posts, eg indieweb.social/@snarfed, no longer return the actual contents in the response. They definitely no longer include microformats. 😐

JavaScript and SPAs are their own conversation, but regardless, this is a step backward for the open web and server-to-server communications like the IndieWeb uses. Fortunately, there’s a workaround: use granary! Plug any Mastodon 4 profile or post URL into granary’s ActivityStreams 2 converter and you’ll get the full contents in HTML, Atom, RSS, or any other format you want. Works via REST API and pip-installable Python package. Here’s an example. Happy hacking!

Kapowski: reaction GIFs for the indie web

    "content": {
        "text": "tl;dr \u2013 Kapowski is a simplified tool for finding and posting reaction GIFs to your personal website. It works without a sign-in and gives you HTML to copy-paste into whatever posting interface you use for your website. It's \"progressively enhanced\" with IndieWeb building blocks, so if your site supports them it becomes faster and easier to use. Search and content are currently powered by Gfycat.\n\n\n    A Kapowski search for \"candy\"\n    \nPreview of selected GIF with HTML source ready to copy-and-paste\n\n  IndieWeb building blocks, you say?\n\n\n  Kapowski supports IndieAuth and Micropub. If your site supports these, you can sign in using your website as your identity and then use Kapowski to post the image to your site directly.\n  \n\n\nPreview page with sign-in formSigned in, alt-text entered, ready to post!\nBut that's not all! If your site supports sending Webmentions and markup for reply posts, you can use Kapowski to make your post a photo reply!\n\nSearch page with a URL in the optional reply fieldReply post on my site with context about the post I'm replying to.\nStill reading? Here's some (too much) history.\nI really like Micropub as an IndieWeb building block. As a developer, it's easy to understand on the wire. It's very extensible because the spec provides very few constraints over what you can post with it.\nHowever, that flexibility comes at a coordination cost. I had (have!) a dream that being able to rapidly iterate on special-purpose Micropub clients will let many ways of posting bloom. I also loved (love!) Glitch as a place to build web apps in the open where other folk can see how they work and remix them to make them their own.\nSo, I built and stealth-launched Kapowski built on Glitch back in 2018. I didn't use it myself very much (but definitely some), and even shared it around some IndieWeb events, like when I talked about mobile posting at the 2019 IndieWeb Summit.\nI kept Kapowski intentionally simple, hoping that some other IndieWeb folks might use it, give feedback, and iterate on the idea of what a good user experience might be for posting reply GIFs on the IndieWeb.\nI ... didn't get much feedback! As far as I know, few people have used it. However, I very much did notice that it kept breaking.\n\n  Giphy, the original service Kapowski used, was bought by Facebook with the intention of, I don't know, tracking all the GIFs people posted. I didn't like that, so I switched things over to Gfycat. (Although with Facebook (Meta) being forced by UK regulators to sell off Giphy, maybe it'll be time soon to bring it back.)\n  \n\nThe biggest problem, though, was that server-side Javascript bits rot. I want to be able to stand up a hobby project and forget it for months or years at a time.

So, I stopped maintaining it and at some point it stopped working.\nReviving the embers\nI still want to see a thousand Micropub-powered flowers bloom, but I don't have the personal project bandwidth to build the tool set on Glitch that I thought would make that possible. I'm just not that fluent in server-side Javascript development and project management, and it's too far of a road right now to git gud.\nThat said, there are styles of web app development I am much more comfortable working in! I think I can take this stuff a lot further by sharpening the knives I already know how to use.\nSo, I've spent a good chunk of free time this year quietly porting some of my IndieWeb projects to PHP and hosting them on a virtual private server. That's stuff I know how to do! As I've re-built each one, I've also looked to extract the common points of similarity and complexity into a kind of \"Micropub kit\", with a common-but-extensible engine. That's made each client easier to build and deploy, and that's very exciting.\n(This \"micropub kit\" isn't ready for public consumption at all but it is available for looking-at if you want. Here's the micropubkit source.)\n\n  What's next?\n  \n\nSince it's IndieWeb Gift Calendar season, I think I'll spend the next month polishing up and posting more about this work.\u00a0 If you have thoughts about Kapowski, \"micropubkit\", or posting weird stuff on the IndieWeb in general, I'd love to read them!

Here's some (too much) history.</h2>\n<p>I really like Micropub as an IndieWeb building block. As a developer, it's easy to understand on the wire. It's very extensible because the spec provides very few constraints over what you can post with it.</p>\n<p>However, that flexibility comes at a coordination cost. I had (have!) a dream that being able to rapidly iterate on special-purpose Micropub clients will let many <i>ways of posting</i> bloom. I also loved (love!) <a href=\"https://glitch.com/\">Glitch</a> as a place to build web apps in the open where other folk can see how they work and remix them to make them their own.</p>\n<p>So, I built and <a href=\"https://martymcgui.re/2018/05/29/hwc-baltimore-2018-05-29-wrap-up/\">stealth-launched Kapowski built on Glitch back in 2018</a>. I didn't use it myself very much (but definitely <a href=\"https://martymcgui.re/2018/04/10/193815/\">some</a>), and even shared it around some IndieWeb events, like when I talked about <a href=\"https://martymcgui.re/2019/06/19/152602/\">mobile posting at the 2019 IndieWeb Summit</a>.</p>\n<p>I kept Kapowski intentionally simple, hoping that some other IndieWeb folks might use it, give feedback, and iterate on the idea of what a good user experience might be for posting reply GIFs on the IndieWeb.</p>\n<p>I ... didn't get much feedback! As far as I know, few people have used it. However, I very much did notice that it <i>kept breaking</i>.</p>\n<p>\n  <a href=\"https://giphy.com/\">Giphy</a>, the original service Kapowski used, was bought by Facebook with the intention of, I don't know, tracking all the GIFs people posted. I didn't like that, so I switched things over to <a href=\"https://gfycat.com/\">Gfycat</a>. (Although with <a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/18/facebook-parent-meta-ordered-to-sell-giphy-by-uk-competition-regulator.html\">Facebook (Meta) being forced by UK regulators to sell off Giphy</a>, maybe it'll be time soon to bring it back.)\n  <br /></p>\n<p>The biggest problem, though, was that server-side Javascript bits rot. I want to be able to stand up a hobby project and forget it for months or years at a time. For a project of this pace, especially one that I think of as being <i>very simple</i>, the Javascript stack moves <i>fast.</i> I would get notices every week or so that this or that dependency had a required security update. Sometimes apply what looked like a small point update would cause a breaking change in an API (<i>Axios!)</i>. Eventually, it became not-fun to think about keeping up Kapowski.</p>\n<p>Multiplying this maintenance across a number of other Micropub clients I had managed to barely knock together on Glitch led to me burning out on the idea.

Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users\u2019 data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.This principle is absolutely true, but on a deeper level, I\u2019m also uncomfortable with the level of wealth hoarding and rent seeking on the modern internet. There\u2019s no need for us all to be pouring our conversations, identities, and data into someone\u2019s multi-billion-dollar for-profit enterprise. By owning it ourselves, we\u2019re decentralizing the value created. While it\u2019s not necessarily an anti-capitalist stance, it\u2019s certainly an anti-monopoly one.I didn\u2019t start Known to be an indieweb platform: I initially built it, back when it was called Idno, to be a simple way to start a private community on your own terms. My intention was always to add decentralization to these communities, and I was enamored by the vision of the indieweb when I met members of the community and saw what they were building. Turning it into a way for a single person to post using the indieweb just made sense to me, and that\u2019s how a lot of people use it - including me on my own website.The best way to drive adoption for a web standard is to make it as easy as possible to build with. Any good web technology should be implementable inside of an afternoon, so that a casual hacker can feel like they\u2019ve made good progress. (Too many technologies are built to be used at Facebook scale, which is needless.) HTML works this way; so does RSS. And the indieweb technologies - microformats to add machine-readable meaning to content, micropub to provide a standard way to publish, and webmention as a mechanism for decentralized replies chiefly among them - all follow this rule too. They\u2019re easy, fault-tolerant, and are built using a very similar mindset to the web itself. I love them.Lately I\u2019ve been drawn into the fediverse through Mastodon - you can follow me at @ben@werd.social. The underlying technology behind the fediverse, ActivityPub, at first glance seems a little harder to implement. In fact, I was a little scared of it, because it requires a mix of light cryptography and a handful of less HTML-like document standards that seem easy to get wrong. But dig a little deeper and it\u2019s not particularly difficult to get started with, with huge reward: connecting to a network of millions of people who are all actively having conversations.So I\u2019m newly-invested in implementing ActivityPub and building end-user tools that join the network. I\u2019m excited to build things that people can use to, in turn, build something new. There are a ton of opportunities here: we\u2019re in a particular moment where the fediverse looks like it could be the future, and the more tools and onramps we build, the more likely that becomes. That fits directly into those indieweb principles of owning your own content, and my additive principles of devolving wealth and ownership.Luckily, it\u2019s not a zero-sum game. I can still keep and maintain my indieweb implementations and participate in its network of blogs and personal sites, while also adding ActivityPub and widening my lens to the fediverse\u2019s interlocking communities. I get to own my content and online identity, which means I get to choose who and what I interact with.I have one exception. One of the indieweb\u2019s oldest ideas, Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, is something I plan to retire in my own use. The idea is that you publish on your own site but then mirror that content to a third-party silo like Twitter, ideally with a link back to your site. But with the growth of the fediverse, I\u2019d like to be done with doing that. I\u2019ve already stopped publishing to Twitter, and I think Instagram and Facebook will quickly follow suit.
