I spent most of the day working on Meetable, my event listing website that powers https://events.indieweb.org and a few other sites. Some great new features and bugfixes!

• Added passkeys for admin login
• "Live Now" indicator is now aware of the actual Zoom meeting status
• Zoom meeting updates if event time changes
• Added tooltip to show local time on event pages

"Unlike its streamlined, efficient former self, #GoogleSearch is now bloated and overmonetized."

This morning I started working on some updates to AmigaSource, a web directory for Amiga resources. The site maintainer reached out to me last week about helping to improve it and I agreed.

It's been a long time since I had to make a site that renders nicely in Mosaic...

The best thing about being CEO of a successful social media platform is not needing to concern myself with larger Fediverse issues.

I'm the only user of this instance and my server farm bangs hard! (whilst having way less environmental impact than Meta's bullshit).

Whether or not folks from X come here does not affect company policy. If you're cool, we're cool. I'm up for chatting shit as much as the next person.

In this #BookmarkBeat 🥁, I talk about choosing to make space for yourself - including picking up new hobbies (like film photography 📸)

@stshank @TechDesk Somewhat problematic to track usage like this as eg “Massive surge in blog posting” wouldn’t be possible to say due to the distributed nature of the #blogosphere and Mastodon / #Fediverse / #IndieWeb is similarly distributed and as such hard to make such claims for

Not saying it’s wrong, but it’s a way of using the silo numbers and the silo narrative to discuss the success of alternative platforms that in themselves are not aiming to be silos

Playing with the new IndieAuth update... - September 20, 2023

I’ll be joining FediForum today. It starts in about half an hour. Mostly will lurk today, but looking forward to hearing what people are working on and what to solve next in the fediverse. Then tomorrow I’ll show off a little of Micro.blog.

In my #IndieWeb quest, I realised that installing the ClassicComerse plugin crashes my whole database/back end. I will keep you all posted!

I need to get my 💩 sorted and get my #indieweb blog back on track. The venerable GoBlog repo is probably eleventy-billion commits ahead of my instance right now.

Do I patch the place up or burn it down and start all over again….

🤔 what to do, what to do….
