I've been following the #indieweb / #microformats movement for a very long time. Every now and then (and today is one of those days) I feel the urge of investigating it all again, creating my own blog with h-card, h-entry, webmentions... But somehow I feel it's an all-or-nothing approach: either you use WordPress + plugins (which I don't want for `$reasons`) or you build the whole thing yourself.

I wish there was something just at the right level of abstraction, an HTML framework of sorts (1/2)

as much as i love the #IndieWeb, i wish it had more traction in PoC spaces, especially in #SEAsia

IndieWeb Carnival August 2023: Gardening

Weighing up hosting and domain options at the moment (with help from some of the lovely #VirtualGothNight folks). Will hopefully buy my domain on payday in a couple of weeks and reclaim a corner of the Internet for my own waffle.

From a digital wellbeing point of view,
I think I struggle with timelines, algorithmic or not... #indieweb #digitalwellbeing

I added back the posting activity visualization that was on my site a while ago. Now it's on the homepage under my bio instead of at the bottom of each post. There's four shades of blue based on relative number of posts. Hovering on a square shows the date and number of posts.

screenshot of the bio on my homepage with the posting activity visualization underneath it: 30 small boxes with colors from gray to deep blue indicating relative number of posts each day

Next I would like to set up daily archive pages that each box can link to.

I used up 50mb of my hosting storage for my blog.

I’ve around 120-30 posts written, most of them are text only, some of them with many images (game reviews)

That’s 50%. Yes, I’ve only 100mb of storage.

Keep it small and simple

"manual until it hurts is an IndieWeb development practice of resisting automating something until you have manually done it enough times to really understand it, and know that it is worth doing & automating."

@Shrigglepuss have you looked at the #indieweb? I wrote a thing about it a while ago. https://beesbuzz.biz/articles/11127-What-is-the-IndieWeb

Do you use #webmentions by any chance? #IndieWeb

Please boost, I'm researching.

Yes!
I used to...
No
What is that?

A tiny fediverse wishlist:

  • Quote toots
  • A real DM implementation w/ E2E encryption (black-box, ie. even the host cannot read them)

Divisão entre web alternativa X mainstream:

I'm digging more into https://emissary.social/ today. And it seems to be something I've been thinking for a while.
Especially with this time where no for-profit platform is worth investing time anymore.

I'll test and see where help is needed. But for now, it seems quite impressive!

Splitting the Web

This rings true to me.

#web #split #division #tracking #javascript #advertising #business #indieweb

friendly reminder that the semantic web is the actual web 3.0 and the "web3" crypto shit is co-opting that for marketing. don't believe their lies, web 3.0 is not techno-feudalism, it's what #indieweb is doing with microformats, xfn, etc.
