Blogging the #Indieweb way (PESOS) to be specific, and treating my blog as a digital garden instead of a polished, professional magazine made #blogging joyful again. I can be as spontaneous and imperfect as I want - I am having so much fun & am blogging so much compared to before where 2-3 posts a month was plenty.
And I think my #blog is more interesting too.

All I want as a web developer is to link to an address / lat±lng and for the users 🌎 map service of choice (#OpenStreetMap, #Apple maps, #GoogleMaps, whatever) to open without being dependant upon Google.
It's 2023 and even darling of the "free and open web", #Firefox doesn't support geo:// #indieweb

If anyone has doubts about Threads supporting ActivityPub, listen to Mark Zuckerberg on Decoder. Some of what Mark says is almost IndieWeb-esq at times! I still believe Facebook has done a lot of harm to society, but they are clearly hoping to be more open with Threads and that’s a good thing.

What a beautiful website!

This weekend I am hosting a Build a Website in an Hour event 🌐

In the meeting, you have one hour to either start a new website (it can be as small or as big as you want!) or improve an existing website.

Last time, we had people build a bookmarks list, a PNG file header reader, an I, Spy game, and more!

Find more information on the event page. No need to RSVP.

@jake4480 My Wordpress implementation will also have what the #Indieweb calls post kinds. All those location based short posts you see? Will count on my site as check ins...and will have their own feed, so if you only want to see, say,my longer stuff, don't subscribe to every feed.

2023 - I'm the happiest I've ever been on #SocialMedia. Discovering the #Fediverse and #Mastodon has been really a joyous moment as I was really hating ad avalanche and algorithm-controlled environments. Then I discovered the #Indieweb and began reclaiming my content, and I've been blogging more than ever.
That's when I realiesd that I had given these platforms SO MUCH OF FREE CONTENT.
That said, 2023 is also the year I've been the most overwhelmed by ..

Thanks to WordPress, Hum, and iwantmyname, I now have a personal link shortener for my website.

Now I can do dumb stuff: like http://nicks.im/son redirects to my about page.

#IndieWeb

Parenting in the age of the internet

i just added a page to my personal website that catalogs all the books, music, and games that are deeply important to me in some way.

i'm calling it The Loved List, shamelessly stealing the term from Anthony Fantano's website.

https://ankursethi.in/the-loved-list/

maybe one day i'll turn this into a nice gallery of sorts, with cover art and links and metadata and all sorts of bells and whistles. for now, a plain list is all i have the time to do.

Idea

Is there such a thing as an embed / quote posting tool for the #indieweb? An easy to use tool like the hosted #webmention [Endpoint](https://webmention.herokuapp.com) but for displaying a snippet of a page based on its h-entry / other #microformats?

we're slowly starting to populate https://marigold.town in the #indieweb #webdev space. <3

one project, the marigold.town museum of art, is accepting applications for any #artist of many #media types! super exciting stuff: https://museumofart.marigold.town/apply.html

When we first added ActivityPub support to Micro.blog years ago, I used the phrase “Mastodon-compatible” because I was worried that “ActivityPub” would be confusing for normal people. It now seems time to adopt “fediverse” as a term throughout our UI instead. Curious how Threads will handle this.

Subscribing to the blogs of people I follow on Mastodon

A short piece I wrote in 2019 on my love of #rss. If anything, I love it even more these days…

I recently wrote a high level summary blog post:

W3C Technical Plenary and Advisory Committee (TPAC) Meetings 2023

https://tantek.com/2023/262/b1/w3c-technical-plenary-tpac

of my time at the #W3C (@W3.org, @w3c@w3c.social, @W3C) #TPAC the week before.

Posting this note to explicitly #hashtag that article with topics mentioned therein:

#Sevilla #Seville #Spain #WICG #SocialCG #SWICG #Fediverse #SocialWeb #sustainability #IndieWeb #ActivityPub

because I forgot to put explicit categories (p-category markup) in the article post.

Adding that markup after publishing, and then sending an ActivityPub update (via #BridgyFed) is apparently not enough for #Mastodon to notice that the Update has new tags to display and aggregate on tag pages. In my next #w3cTPAC article post I’ll be sure to include category markup before publishing and see if that works.

I believe large social networks won’t go away, but usage will drop. Users will instead flock to smaller interest-based communities.
