Is there an #opensource backed standard for annotating others’ webpages?
I’m thinking specifically being able to tag others’ sites with #IndieWeb h-cards (eg. Adding machine readable event tags to pages like this: https://www.ewanbleach.com/events)
or something more fancy, like letting me attach (#ipvm runnable?) WASM to that page that will extract an iCal file.
I want to make microformats and standard metadata more available without everyone having to get on board.

Receiving webmentions was easy to set up with webmention.io and webmention.js. For a static site, sending webmentions is a little messier, but there is a netlify plugin that I’ve found helpful. Always room for improvement though.

Today I built a silly webpage by hand in a couple of hours. (I’m not going to tell you what it was, except that it was frivolous af.)
I started out by looking for a template, but everything I found was way too involved, so I ended up writing the HTML and CSS from scratch, throwing it in a cloud-hosted directory, and nudging the DNS settings to point there.
This turned out to be a ridiculously nostalgic experience. I built a lot of weird little websites like this when I was about eleven years old, saving the HTML of sites that I liked so that I could access them when the phone line was being used by someone else, and changing pieces around to figure out how it all fit together.
It struck me that:
a) by this measure I’ve been doing web dev for almost a quarter-century now 😳
b) there is nothing stopping me from making websites this way. I can still write HTML and yeet it out there if I want to, no matter what it’s for. Pages load quickly. It’s not fancy. It works. Underneath it all, the web is still there.
If you feel so inclined, I can highly recommend seizing an afternoon, taking a silly webpage idea, and having a play.

Webmentions have been great to work with on my site. I haven’t had much success with microsub at this point though. The Indiepass app looks really nice and has been great for posting. But my indieauth login seemed to have issues logging into the couple microsub apps I tried so probably a problem on my end. Still love the reader concept and I know a few people use it regularly.

Spent the last couple hours playing around and researching web mentions, then Microsub servers and reeders. Seems like it's a largely abandoned initiative (no judgement) or am I looking in the wrong places? #indieweb #indieauth

Important piece for all of us on the #Fediverse and #IndieWeb by @moira
“If you want distributed social to be a thing, if you want not to be a hostage of the latest billionaire to buy out your platform and turn your beloved hellsite into a fascist disinformation fountain and propaganda machine, you have to care about large-account followers, because they have to want to be here too.”

Y’all we shouldn’t judge people for liking something popular. Or punish for success.

Itch scratchin’: plumbing is (mostly) finished 🛠
The site is looking good actually, and for once I’m pleased with how it works and feels. So now that the plumbing and skeleton is done, let’s continue on the #indieweb journey a bit.
Things I need to do on the site today:
🔌 Add a few more plug ins for quality of life, especially after seeing this list 👉🏾 Check out Nick Simson’s Plugin Inventory for some inspiration.
🧹 I’ll also clean up the layouts some and get the CSS tightened up as well too.
💬 As always, if anyone out there has any suggestions or questions about all this, reply/webmention/toot/skeet/yell on all the appropriate channels.
starrwulfe*federated by @starrwulfe This is my WordPress powered social hub and sometimes-second-brain. It follows “indieweb” conventions like POSSE and is fully ActivityPub compatible, meaning it talks to Mastodon, Micro.Blog and other connected similar sites.

Do you want to get away from using icon fonts? I did.
I wrote a post (and a few pens on CodePen) showing three different ways to use emojis and custom “emoji-like” images as list markers.

Continued #Introduction
I am an admin and co-owner of tech.lgbt, which I started in April 2017 as an extension of my interest in the #IndieWeb and owning your own spaces online. I’m grateful and thankful that so many people have found this as their home on the fediverse, now or in the past.
If you have any questions about the instance, please message @mods or email mods@tech.lgbt, so that our full mod team can respond. I’m not the sole decision maker here, so I just don’t want folks to tag me alone! Our mod team is amazing and does great work that deserves to be praised 
Having been around the fediverse for so long, I’ve seen a lot of discourse come, go, and come again. I will generally focus on maintaining and moderating the instance and using this as a personal account. Commenting or not commenting on any #meta here is not reflective of the instance as a whole.
Above all, I try to be kind, welcoming, and patient here, and encourage you to do the same

Today I got a basic #webring working to connect my website with the sites of a couple of my art friends!
After I work out the look of the widget, I'd like to make a few connecting sites with similar content. Right now I'm thinking one for #scifi art & maybe #worldbuilding projects. If you're interested in joining one of these, let me know!
