People say content is being locked up in proprietary silos but look all I had to do to get an RSS feed of articles on a certain site was install a mitm proxy to intercept their mobile app's requests, fake an SSL certificate to inspect them, reverse engineer their internal APIs, then write a script to discretely query aforementioned APIs and generate an RSS feed file on a schedule. Simple! š #indieweb #rss
#coding this #neocities site makes me remember why I stopped advancing with coding...
Now I also regret not advancing with it šš
Where have all the websites gone? - https://www.fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/where-have-all-the-websites-gone/
Current personal project: blog consolidation. I currently have three blogs (!!!) and Iām tired of putting my likes and hobbies into silos. You can either take all of me or none.
My plan is to have ONE personal blog, old school. Easy management, no fancy templates, very #indieweb focused. Iāve spent almost all weekend looking at 50 bazillion CMSes and SSGs andā¦I never thought Iād feel decision burnout for a dang website.
So, the olā standard of #Wordpress it is!
My @blog is now part of the indieweb :)

@flockofnazguls this is cool and/but it's also worth mentioning that, if your #band already has a #WordPress site, you can easily add a free audio player to your site and be your own #bandcamp / #faircamp / #soundcloud. No 3rd party platform necessary.
Now that I have a band with a site, I'm (slowly) disinvesting in #streaming platforms and making my own site central to our distribution strategy.
FWIW your #WordPress site can also be your #Mastodon server!

Unless I'm missing something, Google seems to have deactivated the "www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml" endpoint that is unofficially used to generate RSS feeds of YouTube channel video content. Now returns 404. Going to break a lot of feed reader and website/widget content pulling if so. #rss #indieweb #youtube #google
its that time to scream into the ether to introduce myself
i am syrup, trans gorl who plays #videogames and likes to write
i am a participant in the #indieweb though im not too active in maintaining my site

if you like seeing #cringe posted infrequently, i can provide it and maybe more unique things as well
In 2019 I started my blog but knew nothing of the #IndieWeb or #SmallWeb. Thanks in large part to the awesome #Mastodon community I was introduced to these concepts and have been diving in ever since, adding IndieWeb capabilities to my site and exploring the Indie World in its entirety. To help introduce others to the IndieWeb as well as catalog useful/interesting things I encounter I decided to write a post about it.

That piece features a few cool lists like a list of webrings, blogrolls, IndieWeb search engines, indie site hosting providers and more!
To further help āscoreā my site on its āIndieWeb-nessā, I also wrote the following post about #IndieMark which includes my siteās score.

Trying the Old Reader, and while not as clean as Miniflux, to me, it was very accessible and syncing to Lire was a breeze, apart from a few unlabeled buttons. I hope it sticks around for a while even if I detest the social features in it. Now who can recommend some audiobook blogs to follow besides the Libro FM Blog, Audible blog, and Lovely Audiobooks since I already have those. #IndieWeb #SmallWeb #RSS

Anyone know of a fedi or at least free-ish alternative to SoundCloud? I like posting my stuff for archival and for whatever folks might enjoy listening to my brand of self indulgent improv, but I just have no desire to engage with that site anymore. What are the cool Indieweb kids using these days?
Hereās how I setup my blogroll to include all the things I follow on the web: https://distinctivequality.com/blog/following-page/ #indieweb #webdev #webdesign
