It has been years since I went on to buy a custom domain for me, after being convinced by the #IndieWeb wiki that it would be an important cornerstone of my web identity.

One upside I just realized is that I never really bothered to hide my beautiful email from spammers ( it's just right there on my home page) and I never really got much spam. Why? Because it's a super underused TLD, so scrapers probably don't look for it.

I have an #accessibility question for the #WebDev community: How can I make an accessible spoiler element? On my site, I use a #CSS class to make my div have a black background, and text color set to black. On hover (or on tap on mobile) the background and text color is unset. It's dawned on me though that this surely isn't doing anything for screen readers. So, how might I go about making this work better? An example page can be see here: https://www.vzqk50.com/projects/pentabit/#explanation

@developerjustin I think #indieWeb really missed out on #AMP. It could have brought back #RSS!

Added two new sites to my Links page (aka #Blogroll):

- https://searchmysite.net/
- https://starbreaker.org/

The former is a niche search, focussing on the #indieweb, small web and digital gardens — i.e. non-commercial content, primarily personal and independent websites.

The latter is the personal website of @starbreaker, one of the very best recent discoveries. I love his writings, as it's common with people who are not afraid to tell things by their name.

Hello, #fediverse! - I'm new here and getting my #indieweb situation settled over at ciprianisbsmnt.space, so here's my #introduction:

I live in #Maine and work #remote in digital recruiting/education and have a LOT of special interests (like art, reading, #astrology, #occult, and #hiking!)

Here's a picture of my dog, #Tepe on Burnt Meadow Mountain yesterday. ⛰️ 🐾

Morning everybody and welcome to Sunday. Just drinking coffee and waiting for baseball later today.

Tried to post from IndiePress app today
It uploaded the text but not the photo (went back and added retroactively).

Unsure if this is my lack of service at the time or just the app -- I was in the boonies for a hike.

Adjusted Post Kinds plugin settings to include icons and kind in title. Need to add a submenu to navigation editor. 🌼

Those are relevant questions and an interesting debate for #Design and #UX folks. Let's contribute to making #Indieweb and #Fediverse accessible and easy for most. https://indieweb.social/@tchambers/110322730606236388

#IndieWeb #OwnYourData #Health

I continue to pine for a native app that brings together all of my social/feeds into one place. Like https://alltogethernow.io, but native on macOS and iOS, and with support for the Fediverse, BlueSky, and Micro.blog.

After weeks of struggle and failed attempts to bend my static website generator and its templating engine, I’ve given up and I’m now embracing React for my personal website.

I know that the #IndieWeb community favors simplicity and zero-cruft web, but simplicity to me means using the tool I already know.

And I love data viz, so I’m sorry if my corner of the web is going to take a few extra milliseconds to load, but it’s still less than what it would take for a good quality image anyway.

I've been experimenting with microblog.pub (@dev) to make a microblog to also share my thoughts and interact with others! I really like it works with the #indieweb

Here is my microblog.pub site

Please give me a follow.

The fediverse and the AT Protocol

@snarfed.org It's the joys of the #indieweb: you get all the immense fun of building your own little interoperable home on the web, with all the bugs that come along with it!

My blog now shows likes from the fediverse. It's the number of favourites on my toots sharing my blog posts.

The only remaining thing to complete #IndieWeb backfeeding is to show fediverse replies on my blog, I don't think I'll do this as it seems like a privacy issue.

Thanks to the maintainers of brid.gy and #webmention.io for making such great services freely available
