I wrote a long page about the ZIP archive file format. Check it out: https://orchid.pink/zip/.

I spent the last week rebuilding my old portfolio into a more straightforward blog. I've needed a more permanent home for all of the stuff I make, and I'm happy that I finally figured something out.

Also, comments are turned on for the site because I thought it would be fun. I'm sure at some point I'll get a bunch of spam, but I'll deal with that later 😄 https://stublag.com

Done some redesigning of my personal site lately. Condensed the landing page so that the eye is better drawn to where I want it. Fixed up the side nav bar (still a WIP). Also added badges to the footer. Nice to express my creativity this way :ablobowo:

I am experimenting with z3microformats on #WordPress blocks so that I don’t have to use HTML to insert microformats on my posts. This is post 6 of #100Posts #100Days of my 2024 #100DaysofIndieWeb #IndieWeb project.

I haven’t been to IKEA since the beginning of the pandemic. I had forgotten about the path that you have to walk through the store unless you happen to find the escape route to the Marketplace. :-) This is post 5 of #100Posts #100Days of my 2024 #100DaysofIndieWeb #IndieWeb project. #IKEA

Over the weekend I shipped a new 'Writings’ page (my blog) to my personal website. I created different sections for the categories I am using to filter my posts. Therefore, I now have a new tab bar to navigate through the sections, and an adapted version is placed in every single section to make it easy to jump between the different sections once the blog is becoming bigger 😊

I know there are some valid concerns re scraping being easier but I really hate it when sites don't put the full text of posts in their RSS feeds and just an excerpt instead. There are plenty of ways to still put ads or other CTAs into your RSS feed. I really like being able to consume the content in my preferred format & software tool #IndieWeb

A pyramid based on Haslow's Hierarchy of needs but is instead the hierarchy of needs to use IndieWeb.

The layers are (from bottom to top) The Internet, The World Wide Web, A passion you want to share, Dependable Libraries, an appropriate CMS, aesthetic/US, self-actualisation, and transcendence.

Directories have come and gone, and new search engines have appeared. Blogrolls, link pages, and RSS feeds are making a comeback. Static website hosts continue to appear. Forums are back. There is a gap for hosted tools; what could we do in this space?

Overall, the independent and open web is looking healthy.

Some people on #Substack anxiety posting about losing their followers if Substack folds or if they're forced to move smh.
Like, I want to scream about #IndieWeb principles at them, but then these are the SAME people who were part of the crusade against Substack recently, drumming up so much noise that big newsletters left for fear of their brand being tarnished by association.
I mean, what did you think will happen when you are a part of an anti-Substack campaign??

@cogdog @oldaily nope. I moved out big posterous to WordPress.
I suspect the best #indieweb out the box would be micro.blog: great webmention & fediverse integration. Again I don't use the hosting but join in the micro.blog community & benefit from the posse to mastodon for free from WordPress.

More on the #SoundCloud front, but with new options for musicians coming to the fore every day through communities on here who're bored of buyouts and meaninglessness in streaming, it seems like we're maybe already moving towards something better. https://www.wired.com/story/what-soundcloud-created-can-never-die/ #Independent #DIYMusic #Musodon #Bandcamp #Alternative #IndieMusic #Indie #IndieWeb

New blog post! This one's about making a comment section for my static site using Netlify and Supabase for backend, and vanilla JavaScript for the frontend.

back down the debugging rabbit-hole I go… #indieweb

Everything on the #IndieWeb wiki looks insanely cool, and there is a lot of documentation, but am I the only one who hasn't a clue how to adopt 99% of what is on there?

#ActivityPub and #Fedi might be hard for folks to grok at first, but the on-ramp for #WebMentions for me looks like the Cliff's of Dover.

That said, I am acknowledging that plenty of folks are using IndieWeb to make truly insane things. I just want in! :P
