✏️ New Post: A few days ago @matuzo kindly pointed out to me that I haven't been writing a lot lately. I was shocked and launched an immediate investigation.

Here's why I don't write, and why my reasons are probably bullshit.

“This Gem is Mentionable” was featured on “This Week in the #IndieWeb” which marks the first time I’m aware of one of my articles being in a #podcast.

Good morning everybody and welcome to Sunday. I'm feeling very rested after Shabbat and ready to take on the week.

When is there going to be another #IndieWeb NYC meetup?

Drafting something on what a “pure” indieweb web – i.e. with just blogs for writing and RSS for reading and discovery, no social media – would look like. While it’s easy to set up a blog with a domain, it’s still a barrier compared to tweeting. Who wouldn’t be involved? And what would you gain?

I need to quote the toot. I always liked the saying “back to basics”. Regarding social media platforms, back to basics means for me back to the open web, the web that we own. The #indieweb.

I looked at a few videos to understand how to create a custom block pattern to hold my RSVP webmention. You can do this “from scratch” or use a plugin. I would like to do this from scratch but am not sure if I can maintain it. The steps ... https://tmichellemoore.com/?p=152430

January is almost over. Micro.blog has been much more stable after the few glitches we had in November as Mastodon was blowing up. We’ve had ActivityPub support since 2018, but only needed to learn how to actually scale it recently. Progress.

Day #5: The Claw Webring

Truly a labour of love, whitep4nth3r's #webring is a professional, yet underappreciated work-of-art. Go show her, & it, some love.

it is so nice that interacting with people on the web without the abstraction of an algorithm or ads. #mastodon #indieweb

using @ivory makes it feel polished and fun.

More particular questions about this scenario…

- what’s the current best practice for what, back in the day, would have been imagemaps? Is it some kind of canvas / Svg combo?
- is getting going with an ssg like #11ty a good fit?
- node.js, p5js, three.js… where is the interesting action at the mo?

Are there any niche sitebuilding tools that might help?

And who is doing good work with the weird web at the moment?

Little victories: swapped out the fonts on my site so they don't feel as all over the place stylistically, and added a fade-in on scroll to gallery images. And loading is a touch better on the 2022 and 2023 galleries. :'D

Enjoy my 2022 gallery! Going to be updating the older galleries with these tweaks when I get the chance.

Activity Streams graphical model

For puzzled Mastodon users reading my posts, I keep forgetting about Mastodon ignoring blockquote tags. Need to update Micro.blog’s cross-posting and ActivityPub to automatically change the output to use regular quotes.
