Day #3: The Self-Insert Webring

https://koinuko.pink/shipping/webring/joinwebring

Koinuko's webring is a bit odd, but she puts in a lot of effort every month adding new people. Go show her & it some love!

If Nextcloud Contacts was like 20% better I think I could completely avoid needing to set up a personal CRM (or PRM as I'm told they're called).

Anyone have experience with this or other open source tools for this purpose? Ideally I can double down on NC because it's something I already use and maintain.

#Nextcloud #OpenSource #IndieWeb

My writing doesn't produce evergreens à la @andy_matuschak@toot.io. It produces lived experiences. Anyone visiting my #DigitalGarden would've been able to see. Much of the content I was writing was either acting as a catcher's mitt, a builder of connections, or short posts that the #IndieWeb community might classify as "notes". My love for the old-fashioned blog had drifted to the background, and most of what I was doing on my website, sadly, was busywork.

Now my website's search indexes my Mastodon posts as well, along with my blog posts and notes. Another step towards #indieweb.

There are many opposing forces in the #IndieWeb that can seem like catch-22s, yet help clarify priorities, and balance present pragmatism & future optimism.

* Indie, yet often on corporate infrastructure
* Independent, yet dependent on community
* Own your content^1, yet share publicly, perhaps CC0^2
* Control of your design^3, yet lack of control elsewhere^4
* UX freedom & creativity, yet guidance toward common patterns for usability
* Decentralized, yet DNS
* Make what you need^5, yet open source^6 for others
* Plurality^7 of projects, yet conforming to standards^8
* Build it yourself, yet use services, software, & libraries built by others

These are a few off the top of my head and implied by the IndieWeb wiki home page^9 and principles^10.

Rather than contradictions, these tensions are a source of inquiry, questions, and conversations.

Each could be expanded into their own discussion or exploration.

Each of them is an axis of sorts, with different “right” answers for different people, depending on what they want, and how much time or other resources they have.

Each makes the most sense when explored in the context of a focus on solving real user needs to participate directly on today’s web.

Each is also a trap for abstract logic, theoretical purity, or dogmatic absolutism, especially when detached from real world goals, constraints, and efforts.


This is day 22 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, written after a break. Many double days ahead.

Finally got chance to try out #Micropub server on my personal site.
https://indieweb.org/Micropub

I'd been aware of the various #IndieWeb projects for a while, still exciting by the potential, but the barriers need dramatic simplification.

(I'm saying that as an old web dev and was scratching my head several times.)

Ich darf tatsächlich an der #fernuni eine #hausarbeit zum Thema #indieweb schreiben und es bockt sehr.

Noch drei Wochen bis zur Deadline—wünscht mir Glück 🤞

I finally had an #IndieWeb learning breakthrough, and got my #WebMentions to pass the latest tests..with some slight cheating. The process isn’t automated on my site right now, but at least I understand the concept better.

I am taking a short break from Webmentions today. I have been reading a lot of articles and I found an application that I could install that would let me save articles. Day 19 of 100 #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal, #ProjectManagement #WordPress

@toba @ben #POSSE is a concept within the #IndieWeb: https://indieweb.org/POSSE

An abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere

@toba Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. A strategy to prioritize your own site as a content source but meet your community where they're at by mirroring content to social media etc. It's an #indieweb strategy.

@filippo @tqbf Sounds like you would prefer: https://indieweb.org/plurality

And #IndieWeb solutions can federate with the Fediverse through eg https://fed.brid.gy/

Follow eg @tantek.com for an example and for more on that

@tqbf @filippo 100% this. And if that part of the #Fediverse get angry at you, then you can always join the #IndieWeb part and be welcome to do your stuff there https://indieweb.org/

@easternborder @kate

Awesome!!

I have followed your work but couldn't find the podcast.

See folks talking about it on Discord and Twitter a bunch

(and yeah #indieweb podcasts...audio file and rss ....all you need)

Been thinking about running a headless wordpress site, and wanted to look into "offloading" media storage from the server and put media on on s3 or digital ocean space. Found this perfect plugin called "WP OFFLOAD MEDIA" and it turns out it's really expensive, and they charge per file uploaded. This is a major bummer. #foss #pricetier #webdev #wordpress #selfhost #indieweb

Been struggling a few nights now with #IndieWeb webmentions configurations. I'm getting a better understanding of how they work, which is good...but my static site patched together with webmention.io and webmention.apps just doesn't seem to be working for the Update / Delete post tests.

#dotnet #indieweb

Just created a new .NET page on the IndieWeb Wiki. If your personal website or blog is using .NET, feel free to add it there. Also, if you're building any services or libraries for the IndieWeb, add them as well.

Looking to learn more about IndieWeb? https://indiewebify.me/ or the IndieWeb Wiki are great places to get started.

Today, I created an Event and RSVP’d to the event using HTML.

I guess I'm on a bit of an #indieweb spree today. I decided a while ago to re-start my #author #writing blog. I hopefully will find, somewhere deep in my hard drive, the archive of the old one I can put back up. But I've made a start: https://author.maxwellpearl.com/starting-again.html
