"In this ramble video, I talk about the indie web - also known as the small web or old web - how it's better than web3, and why I think you should make a website"

@manton @lime_juice_cube I couldn't remember the discussion on #indieweb IRC so I'm glad you corrected me! I should have performed a quick search to verify before typing 😅

@lime_juice_cube I always hear great things about https://micro.blog/ for #indieweb support and easy to use platform. @manton is very receptive to feedback and has a great platform for turnkey site.

Hey #blogging #mastodon and #fediverse #indieweb users. Looking for a new blog framework that isn't just awful and locked-in. Very tired of #wordpress bloat. And #ghostblog just doesn't work without Node JS. So, maybe #writefreely? But if I go self-hosted then I'm either asking my web host to support it or I'm having to learn about running my own virtualised server. At that point, I might as well just use WP! Any recommendations?

@KatherineInCode Personally, never even heard of 11ty, Jekyll and Hugo, on the other hand, it's like `pkg install jekyll/hugo` and then just `jekyll/hugo new` and it’s good to go!

Please share you blog's link after you publish! :)

@anildash If we were able to align even 1% of that kind of workforce on #indieweb projects as a compliment to Mastodon and ActivityPub development, we could have a comprehensive alternative to anything mainstream social media could provide.

When you’re using an RSS feed to trigger outbound webmentions, remember to validate that feed. The very useful Github Webmentions integration won’t work with an invalid feed.

@katmmoss #DotNet and #IndieWeb merged together sounds like an interesting "you got your peanut butter in my chocolate" type match. Strange, but it just might work!

I'm a .NET developer by trade (now a manager) but spend my hobby coding time with other technologies.

11 days ago I suggested¹ a unified Sent box of everything sent/reacji’d to all Slacks logged-in with the same email. Beyond Slack though, everything you write & send anywhere: txt, chat, email, web. A Universal Outbox of all content you create, including responses. A flat time ordered list of output across mediums. And a source of material to blog.

The phrase “Universal Outbox” seemed obvious to describe such a feature, parallel to the idea of a universal inbox that I remember first learning of as a concept from Apple’s AOCE project² in the early 1990s, but called a “single universal mailbox”.

Figuring someone must have come up with the idea, I did a web search, and found a minimal wiki page from 2011:

http://webseitz.fluxent.com/wiki/UniversalOutbox

which did vaguely describe the idea:
 “a single hub where someone can find all your outbound LifeStreams?”

Except I don’t want “where someone can”, but rather “where I can”, which is an important distinction, because it would explicitly include things you send to a single person or other limited audience.

And yes, “can find”, with full personal search.

Aside: the “where someone can” use-case of the presumably more public “all your outbound LifeStreams” is essentially what an #IndieWeb site is for. One place to publish all you want, any way you want, in a composite stream.

How many times have you texted, IM’d, Slacked, or emailed nearly the same thing, maybe to different people, retyped from memory, that you could have searched, and copy & pasted instead?

Or how many times have you written similar public posts, replies, or emails, on the same topic, where you said the same thing just slightly differently?

What if you could publish such common ideas, concepts, points once, with a permalink, and then cite that permalink rather than retyping the same thing repeatedly?

The idea of a Universal Outbox feels like a logical extension of many IndieWeb practices such as owning your dataÂł.

While all the things you post on your personal site are a part of your Universal Outbox, they are only a subset. Even if you include everything you can PESOS from other sites, that still leaves services and sites without API access, or with APIs you may not have permission to use.

Another approach that may work well is a browser add-on, which would at least be able to collect everything you type into websites. Such an add-on would be more useful than a keylogger, because a browser add-on would have a much better understanding of and access to the context of where you are entering information. An add-on could keep track of permalinks to each statement, e.g. each statement in Slack has a permalink (viewable only with login).

A modest prototype add-on could start with my initial suggestion, a universal sent box that aggregated everything you said across all Slack instances you use in that browser. This would be particularly useful for keeping a personal log of your statements across free Slack instances where everything you say disappears in 90 days.

For now, perhaps the manual-until-it-hurts answer is to periodically check the “Drafts & sent” folder in free Slacks (from the bottom upwards, since Slack’s web UI lacks the ability to sort or reverse the order of your Drafts & sent folder), one instance at a time, blogging or otherwise copy/pasting anything you want to cite, save, or remember.

@box464 There's where the #IndieWeb needs to eventually meet #Dotnet. Don't worry. I'm learning the C# language for that reason.

Psst. Hey you, remember that blog of yours? I looked at it. You last updated it in 2018 or maybe 2015. I dunno. it's been a while.

Things have changed since then…

We’re (re)building the Open Web.

Join us.

Publish a blog post.

Don’t post things on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

Fuck that corporate shit and write it in your own home!

God Did the World a Favor by Destroying Twitter | WIRED

Our smarter, richer betters (in Babel times, the king’s name was Nimrod) often preach the idea of a town square, a marketplace of ideas, a centralized hub of discourse and entertainment—and we listen. But when I go back and read Genesis, I hear God saying: “My children, I designed your brains to scale to 150 stable relationships. Anything beyond that is overclocking. You should all try Mastodon.”

So many gems in this piece by Paul Ford:

The Fediverse apps are all built on a set of rules called the ActivityPub standard, which is a little like HTML had sex with a calendar invite. It’s a content polycule. The questions it evokes are the same as with any polycule: What are the rules? How big can this get? Who will create the chore chart?

@paulrobertlloyd @chrisbergr This project feels like a LEAP in the right direction. I admit this has been a struggle to complete - it's almost like taking a course! IndieWebifyMe and Webmentions.Rock are great but your average user has no chance with that.

I envision something like an app or application that acts as the #IndieWeb admin console, storing content locally, and then pushing it up to required services **magically** 🧙.

Making it simple and fun like https://home.omg.lol/
