Ways to improve discovery on the IndieWeb

The IndieWeb is slowly moving from innovation to rely adopter so it is time to start thinking about content discovery. After all, what’s the point of a game for two people if you are the only one at the table?

One of the ways IndieWeb can become easier to use is to become easier to discover new users and content.

The example of the […]

Curation is the last best hope of intelligent discourse. — Joan Westenberg

The return of RSS and POSSE points to a revival of the personal website ecosystem that thrived in the early blog era. Writers, researchers, technologists and more are relaunching their independent homepages, complete with feeds, as both a public notebook and a channel for sharing insights. The personal website is the ultimate sovereign territory online, enabling creators to share content on their own terms.

I feel like Joan Westenberg has come up with the perfect tag line for personal websites (emphasis mine):

By passing high-quality, human-centric content through their own lens of discernment before syndicating it to social networks, these curators create islands of sanity amidst oceans of machine-generated content of questionable provenance.

I've officially been blogging for 1 whole year! 🥳 365 days & 20 blog posts! Lessgo! I published my newest one today, but I'm just enjoying looking at all their cards right now.

I remember when it was all empty (it came with my site's template) and thinking "I'm never gonna use that" Lol. I started thanks to #lain & #bringbackblogging and I keep going thanks to #smallweb & #indieweb

It's hard not to. When there's so much to be inspired from. Here's to another year! 🍾

Anyone have a tool/service to receive SMS messages into a public RSS feed? Part of my eternal quest to liberate important info that gov. agencies see fit to lock up in proprietary or hard-to-access formats. #indieweb #opendata #localnews

Let’s talk about making IndieWeb weirder and easier

I’ve been a huge fan of IndieWeb since I stumbled upon it one fateful day. While the specifics of how I found it are lost in the annals of history, my willingness to use it in every project has never abated. Well, the bits I understand at any rate.

This is why I bring up the topic of making IndieWeb ideas into weird and easier-to-use […]

Recently I've been reminded of how much fun the Internet can be. Thanks to all of you creating content, promoting content, and enabling others to create their content. This community is truly amazing.

This whole #indieweb thing is giving me some real warm fuzzy early 2000s XHTML nostalgia vibes

Talking about making IndieWeb easier

I’d like to point you to a blog post that took three days to write. (My average post takes under an hour).

This post in question is called “Let’s talk about making IndieWeb weirder and easier“. It is a reply to some other posts that say we need more IndieWeb tools that are easy to use not just WordPress.

We do. I dive deep into how we might make that happen. I had to stop after I passed 7,100 words. There’s more to say.

For now, just dip into the post and see if anything goes ping for you.

Among this weekend's hobby projects was figuring out some bare-bones support for Webmentions on a Quarto blog. While Quarto comes with support for a few comments methods, adding Webmention support lets Quarto blogs interoperate with the broader indieweb! Fortunately, it's not too complex to add this support yourself.

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 😊
