A feed-only #blog? Madness! But I made one anyway, just as an experiment 😅 https://chrismcleod.dev/blog/so-about-that-feed-reader-only-blog-idea/ #indieweb #blogging #rss
Bookmarked Ideas for improving metaformats parsing by .
Most of IndieBlocks’ “h-cite” blocks use some kind of fallback (i.e., the author, if any, and title tags) for remote pages that don’t support microformats. Some good ideas here on taking this just a bit further.
I gathered a list of design and technology podcasts and independent magazines here: see what people who are building an independent internet and liberatory tech are reading and listening to:

My quick 5-minute demo from FediForum is now on YouTube. I show off Micro.blog and fediverse integration. It’s a whirlwind tour of several different things including how we think about cross-posting.
📝 Not the post I intended to write today, but it's the one I ended up writing:
Dear friends,
I made a personal website.
Some links (mostly knowledge category) are dead for now. I hope you will enjoy the website.
Note that there is autoplay music; working on fixing this as the music player is supposed to play sounds only when the user clicks the play button. Apologies

Issue 4 of #OwnYourWeb is out. 🥳
I wanted to know: which tech stachs, platforms, content management systems, static site generators etc. are you using for your personal sites?
And the whole internet replied! 🤯💚
Plus links to projects, tools, talks, and posts by @michelle, @bastianallgeier, @reichenstein, @matuzo, and @anildash.
Personal site of the (every other) week by @colly 🎶☕️
I don’t post about it often, but I maintain indiebookclub, an app to help track books you’re reading on your own website. I just set up a new feature for it, a year in review page: indiebookclub.biz/review/2023

Sigh. Runaway disk usage on the machine I use to my host ActivityPub servers is coming to a head: despite my regular maintenance, each week there's another 1% of disk space I can't easily reclaim.
I was hoping to put this project off for a few more weeks ![]()
If anybody has hot tips about reclaiming disk space that relates to Ubuntu, Mastodon, BookWyrm, or Pixelfed, I'm all ears!
✍️ Hexo, WebFinger and better discoverability
Inspired by a post from @maartenballiauw, I've implemented his approach of providing a downloaded WebFinger file via my Hexo-powered, i.e. static, blog in order to achieve better discoverability via my own domain on #ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon. It works, but it has its drawbacks. The #Fediverse is simply not the #IndieWeb.

With December comes Christmas season, and i just happen to change my site decor to fit a bit more with the theme:
#Coding #Chritsmas #Websites #Smallweb #Indieweb #personalwebsites
@jjude Hey, thanks for asking. #Emissary is a new server for individuals and small groups that combines #ActivityPub, #RSS, and #IndieWeb. The app is very flexible, so developers can reprogram most of its behavior, while still empowering non-techies to manage their own personal servers.
Most of the core is done, but ActivityPub support has been a big challenge. So, it’s not ready for the real-world yet, but I’m excited about the progress.
What are good places to blog? Something that is free, not full of ads or annoying things and ideally has at least a few options for customization? I‘m aware that wordpress exists. I was thinking of something that might not be on my radar…
Everyone's adding cool API-derived "currently playing" music indicators to their personal sites and I wanna play too! But I could really just do one that does a coin flip and chooses to display either the Mountain Goats or Adeem the Artist on each build and that'd probably be just as accurate tbh.
