The Micropub spec is fascinating. I might build a server in Go to try it out. Are there any good micropub clients? #IndieWeb

Has anyone successfully modified the Grav CMS inbuilt blogging plugin to post to an API upon saving of a post? I'm about to begin building the POSSE feature for blog posts on my indieweb-site.

4th iteration!!! I tore up the last one because I thought it looked ugly, and then I realized: "Wait, doesn't my current homepage look just fine with a lot of space?"

Simplicity was the key after all! Trying too hard to cram stuff onto the page made everything looked cluttered and haphazard. This appearance is minimalist and manageable, while still being pretty, and retaining the original "business card" idea.

Whaddaya think??? #webdev #website #webpage #indieweb

“Utilities for interpreting mf2 data.”

Ugh how did I miss this package when implementing webmentions. This looks like it could replace large swaths of my code.

Help me get this proposal the love it deserves! https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/8693

You can read the motivation behind it in my blog post https://www.yieldcode.blog/post/the-need-for-a-more-semantic-web/

Finally, there’s also distributed tech for authorisation called #ucan which could plug the gap of addresses on IPFS (“CIDs”) being hard for humans to remember.

With #ucan, your DNS provider could delegate auth’z to update the DNS pointer from your old “latest site” to your new one.

I’ve covered a lot, briefly, badly—please ask questions if any of this is interesting! I love the potential of #IndieWeb and the distributed web, but I agree with you that it’s only accessible to tech folk today!

@thelonelyghost @rebeccafinn Are you folks familiar with mmm.page? I’m really excited about where it’s going in exactly this direction — very easy to make and FUN sites (early days yet, but vision here: https://paper.mmm.dev )

Then with https://micro.blog, nicely #IndieWeb supporting personal space online, and https://Neocities.org, I feel like we already have multiple routes down the don’t _need_ HTML skill path!

@rebeccafinn just gonna merge these two here stream like... that...

#IndieWeb

There. Done. Welcome to the fight for fully open, decentralized, and accessible web

going to the #SocialWeb CG meeting @W3C #w3cTPAC tomorrow (2023-09-12) at 09:30 CEST.

Looking forward to seeing @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro) and many others!

So many advances in #ActivityPub, #Webmention, Micropub, #IndieAuth etc. that it may be time to restart the #SocialWebWG to officially update all our active specifications.

We can & should also reach out to #Bluesky & #Nostr communities to work together on shared semantics and bridging protocols to continue growing a heterogenous #fediverse built on the #OpenWeb.

We know it is possible. We worked hard in the Social Web working group to align a lot of semantics across #ActivityStreams and #microformats2. The fruitful results of that are services like http://fed.brid.gy/ which I myself use to send a Webmention when I make a new post (like this one) and have #BridgyFed automatically federate it via ActivityPub using my personal site identity to #Mastodon followers and others.

@snarfed.org wrote up a recent comparison of top #decentralized #socialProtocols that can help inform a lot of this discussion: https://snarfed.org/2023-09-04_50856

Finished coding my #Neocities simple Links page in Brackets today - awesome app! The page is just a blogroll. But the app UX and setup are super handy.

Downloaded my whole HTML site, opened offline in Brackets, saw real-time edits in the browser live-preview, then uploaded the file to my blog. So good.

Check out the Link Cache that @mavica_again started - a simple collection of links -- a great concept that I'm a fan of. It's one solution against a search monopoly that's degrading daily thanks to garbage AI search results. (And as we know, link pages are how the web USED to work before everyone became too reliant on Google.)

Now looking at #^https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks a bit closer i see just functionalities which can be done easy with out an extra app and installation

We would do this all in #Hubzilla simple with a separate channel where you just publish bookmars with descriptions marked with hashtags. This way all your contacts can follow your list easy.

A #Hubzilla Account can have as many channels as you want.. every channel as an own FEDI address / ID

Check it out... Hubzilla has also the tools for the #indieweb under one account.

#hubzilla has a #bookmarking app ingratiated for a long time. It is mend first for personal Bookmarks you like to collect form your Fedi contacts but you can also publish them open everybody

If a link is formatted with #^ in front of https:/... ( #^https:/... ) adding a link to the personal bookmarklists can be done in HZ with just a clink on this link.

But in HZ you can also add a Bookmark to this Lists if you go to https://hubziall.tld/bookmarks

there is also this javascript code to do it automated:

javascript:javascript:(function(){var%20url%20=%20location.href;var%20title%20=%20document.title%20||%20url;window.open('https://hubziall.tld//rbmark?&url='%20+%20encodeURIComponent(url)+'&title='%20+%20encodeURIComponent(title)+'&source=bookmarklet','_blank','menubar=no,height=390,width=600,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,dialog=1');})();

replace "https://hubziall.tld/" with the URL of your HZ hub and save the code as FF / Chrome Bookmark and click this Bookmark when you are on a webpage you want to mark. The code will oben a window to add the webpage as a HZ Bookmark

Basically the Bookmarks are stored here as HZ Webpage menu links. You can publish a HZ Webpage menu also public of everybody by putting the code [menu]menuname[/menu] into your HZ page by the HZ PDL editor

This way you can easily share your HZ Bookmarks also public to all who came to and visit your channel page.

> My ideal here is one super-plugin that posts to my entire list with a minimum of fuss.

Kinda goes against the “do one thing and do it well” kinda mantra that I’ve been trying to stick to for the Share on Mastodon/Pixelfed/IndieNews/Twitter plugins I have built.

Then again, I 100% broke that rule for IndieBlocks, my “one-stop #IndieWeb” solution for #WordPress.

#POSSE

The previews of links to my website don't show an image on #Mastodon.

Here is one link for an example:

https://mo8it.com/blog/getting-started-with-rust-backends/

I added "og:image" yesterday to my base template, but it is still not showing an image:

https://codeberg.org/mo8it/website/src/commit/eec8b0e1f752107735bfc87f953258895672697c/templates/base.html#L48-L52

Am I missing something?

#IndieWeb #Selfhosting

i like the concept of #indieWeb #microFormats and whatnot but all the resources seem to be about a specific type of web presence that simply does not work with how i do web

like, the only thing that connects something i write on my website to the rest is a tiny almost imperceptible link at the end saying "go home", where the fuck am i supposed to put rel-author there?

h-card that has your full name and occupation and gender and profile picture (which must include your face)?? im sorry? the only mention of my
nickname is on my email address i explicitly tell people i probably won't respond to.

(that said there are some v cool parts i'm definitely gonna look into now that i don't do static site generation and actually have some server side code running)

Every now and again it’s worth writing a re-introduction as it’s a nice exercise to sharpen the mind and decide where you are headed in life. I spend a lot of time in the online world one way or another. My day job with a RegTech company building their online web apps for one, my social media activities are another. I have a few different spaces on the web where I publish my creative content, photography, writing and music. The trouble is as I joked in a previous post, I’m feeling a bit lost right now. The big names in the online game are all falling apart or just not appealing, trustworthy etc. Is it worth going totally “Indie” as in #indieweb style? Static pages for posts, to be shared here, Buttondown instead of Substack? Dropbox for sharing music? I’ve already started that. I’m also on Hive and you’ll find the links for that in my bio. Have a nice Saturday!
