@keithjgrant I waffled a lot on this one because I feel like they're different. To "bookmark" feels personal, whereas to "share" feels public. But "a bookmark" as a saved link can be distinct from sharing or not sharing.

I ended up implementing Bookmarks and sometimes I syndicate them and sometimes I don’t, depending on my intent.

I also labeled them as "Links" in my UI, because that felt more natural to me.

#Indieweb

#indieweb folks, do you post both shares AND bookmarks, or just one? I'm curious how folks distinguish between the two

Pushing this post out finally got me to start implementing light mode on my website. So far, it's looking nice but now my #CSS variable names are all messed up because I used "darker" and "lighter" suffixes which are now reversed. Ah well, more refactoring! #WebDev #IndieWeb

"Tényleg nem nekem való a közösségi média már: fellépek a platformra és azt látom, hogy valakinek fáj a feje vagy hogy mit evett.
Ilyenkor azt érzem, hogy elloptak 4 másodpercet a halálomig hátralevő időből, amit hasznosabb / élvezetesebb dolgokkal is tölthettem volna."

I’ve been really enjoying reading stuff on personal blogs that have that “indieweb-vibe” lately.

What are your favorite ways to discover them? And which blogs do you recommend?

I get a little buzz seeing my own posts come up in my timeline. A handcrafted personal website that generates its own social images is pretty cool. Publishing for myself and by myself is such a great thing! #IndieWeb #HeartSoulMachine

blathering about combining metadata formats on a web page

This article on the minimal markup needed for link previews has got me thinking about consolidating metadata again.

I could go pure #IndieWeb and throw out everything that isn't visible on the page and marked up with microformats2, but I there's a lot of stuff out there that doesn't read microformats2.

I've already consolidated most of the <meta> tag-based labels like OpenGraph and older HTML conventions. What I may get rid of:

  • OpenGraph category/tag/etc. details, unless something out there actually uses it.
  • The redundant chunk of JSON-LD for Schema.org

I assume anything that uses Schema.org will fall back to OpenGraph or plain HTML for anything they have in common, but I don't know whether they'll still fall back if I keep a JSON-LD chunk with the Schema-specific fields like more detailed article types, what media/event/place is being reviewed, etc.

I wonder if I can add them as microdata where I already have the microformats2 info....

Mastodon Replies as blog comments:

Check out my new blog post where I detail how I added social interactions to my personal blog!

#IndieWeb #Fediverse #PersonalBlog #JavaScript #Blog

my stupid mastodon app was not working as i was out of town, but the 32-bit cafe is expanding our #smallweb community into another platform as well as discord. keeping our community in a walled garden is not what we wanted to do.

so 4 days ago, we launched https://discourse.32bit.cafe!

took a lot of work and planning, but we got it done thanks to the help of our amazing staff and beta testers! if you've wanted to interact with us or the community and didn't really want to hop on discord, we totally understand and had you in mind for this. hope to see you there, if you're interested in joining a group of hobbyists who want to build up the independent web in a positive and encouraging environment :)

Running your own services on the public internet can bring years—maybe even a lifetime—of joy, purpose, and connection. It also requires continuous attention and care, at least a little bit every day, even when you don't feel like it.

I believe in the #IndieWeb philosophy that encourages people to explore the option of owning their own digital resources, but I wonder if we under-emphasize how it's more like adopting a puppy than like getting into woodworking.

I spent a lot of time on my Matrix homeserver over the weekend, and it's really paid off.

Feels good to begin to understand more about the protocol and how Synapse works. Also good: my Discord and Instagram bridges are more functional now!

I love having fewer apps I have to use in order to stay in touch with friends, family, and colleagues.

With my foray into the world of #indieweb, I've had to think about my strategy for post/content syndication across the site, the #fediverse and other "social places”. I’ve written up my syndication strategy here!

…I’ll also add to the list:

  •  Make a set of  “hero images” you can use in your blog posts to make text-heavy articles look interesting.
  • Play around with the og:image (sometimes called the “featured image or twitter card”) for your posts. Create a default one for when there’s no images in your posts so they can still get that “rich web link” treatment on other sites.
100 things you can do on your personal website by an author (jamesg.blog)

One of my favourite things to do in my free time is to tinker with this website. Indeed, this website is the culmination of years of tinkering. I have added features like coffee shop maps that I can share with friends, a way for me to share my bio in two languages, a sitemap.xml file to help search …

Social media lured users with money for “content” but also hooked them with addictive features like endless feeds, “like” buttons, and clickbait algorithms. We all know the negative effects these apps have on users’ well-being. Mainstream social media platforms are now in a bad shape, and I believe people are aware of the problems and […] …
