Maggie Appletonâs site is a special place and the work that resonates most with me is the post on The Digital Garden. I chanced across Maggieâs site following Alex Komoroskeâs Be a Gardener, not a Builder and a search on Google led me to Maggieâs site.
If youâve not read it, I highly recommend it.
The Darth Mallâs post questioning what we lose by living an RSS only life led me back to Maggieâs post on Digital Gardens.
And reading it in on the site was one of the most zen experiences Iâve had in a while.

Now we know the answer to when people say "idk how but this site is hosted for FREE by Netlify" or some such.
RT @oldschooldev it has been always my philosophy that using the âfreeâ tier of services like netlify (or centralise the content after doing so with the code at github) isnât really #indieweb. https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1

I made a short list of music inspiration for busywork, thanks to some #IndieWeb buddies. I was doing dishes while listening to hard German techno (as you do) and pinged the Slack to see what others find motivating.
Give it a whirl!
I updated my blog! It now has comments via Mastodon, fluid type and spacing, and uses two very nice variable typefaces. https://nathanupchurch.com/blog/up-to-my-eyeballs/ #eleventy #11ty #blog #personalblog #indieweb

I left it a bit late for this month's #IndieWeb #blog #carnival on #DigitalRelationships hosted by Manuel Moreale at <manuelmoreale.com/indieweb-carâŠ>.
This one's called "Digital Relationships; or, How I Met My Wife and Why I Might Not Try That Again". It's a bit of a ramble.
I know better than to echo the received wisdom of my youth and insist that online acquaintances arenât real. Itâs not that digital relationships arenât real. If anything, they can be hyperreal. The right words on a page or a screen can pierce your defenses and make you feel in a way you might not let let yourself if those words were spoken in person. The right words from the wrong person can shatter you, especially if they come at the wrong time.
Anyone have thoughts on flickr/ @flickrfdn? Iâm impressed with https://mstdn.party/@stewf/111990577659110657 but at the end of the day I kinda lean towards #indieweb photo hosting that isnât encouraging of likes/comments/empty commodified hype. I donât need to see âexcellent capture!â from some rando on a contextless photo

@âcapjamesg@indieweb.social posted a good list of ideas for things people can do on their site. https://jamesg.blog/2024/02/19/personal-website-ideas/ #smallweb #indieweb
@âfacundoolano@hachyderm.io expanded on that to suggest adding EPUB downloads for your blog or subsets of it.

These made me realize my hike journal might make an interesting sample book. It was easy to add a cover image, an introduction, and some metadata. VoilĂ : a book!
In the world of information overload, RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds allow you to stay updated with your favorite websites and content creators without getting lost in the noise of social media. But what if you want to find the RSS feed for a particular site or profile that doesnât have an obvious link? Here are some tricks to follow:
but if I come across a website that doesnât explicitly advertise an RSS feed, I try appendingÂ
/feed/ to the domain[1]. For example https://example.com/feed/. A lot of the time â possibly the majority in the last few years â this returns an RSS feed.
Why does this work? Because, for better or worse, itâs probably WordPress under the hood. WordPress is reckoned to power over 40% of all websites. WordPress exposes the default feed on theÂ
/feed/Â path[2].
This also works on Substacks.
If you use an RSS reader like NetNewsWire, you can harness the power of its NetNewsWire extension in your browser. This extension has a feed-detecting superpower, sniffing out RSS feeds wherever they may hide. Just browse to the website or profile youâre interested in, and if thereâs a feed lurking in the shadows, the extension will reveal it to you.
Mastodon users rejoice: add .rss to the public profile URL. For example https://mastodon.social/@gurupanguji.rss
YouTube, the land of cat videos and makeup tutorials, also offers RSS feeds, but they can be a bit trickier to track down. Why? Because you need to know the channel ID. But fear not, most RSS readers are clever enough to parse the source code of a YouTube page and uncover its hidden RSS feed.
Simply copy the channelâs YouTube URL, paste it into your RSS reader, and voilĂ ! The feed will appear like magic. Hereâs a fun example to try: https://www.youtube.com/@JustJoshTech. Paste this URL into your RSS reader, and youâll be treated to a stream of Just Josh Techâs latest videos, delivered straight to your feed reader. How cool is that?
The key to unlocking the Indie web is RSS feeds. Once youâre subscribed to a few RSS feeds, youâll start to see a whole new side of the internet. Youâll discover independent writers, artists, and musicians who are creating amazing content that you might have missed relying on a feed.
While youâre at it, you can also subscribe to this siteâs feed via https://gurupanguji.com/feed/. Enjoy! And thanks for subscribing.

TL;DR
<time class="dt-duration" duration="P20Y"> 20 Jahre Microformats đ</time>
Longread
Vor zwanzig Jahren haben @KevinMarks und @tantek.com Microformats in einer KonferenzprÀsentation vorgestellt.
Happy Birthday đ
Ich bin ein bisschen spĂ€t dran, ich weiĂ, ich weiĂ, aber es gibt wenig, was mich schon so lange (online) begleitet wie das Format und die Community (abgesehen vielleicht von WordPress), dass ich das nicht unkommentiert lassen kann!!
Microformats is the glue that bridges web content with a richer online experience.Zu meiner Historie: Im Gegensatz zu vielen Anderen in der Branche, mache ich meinen Job nicht, weil ich SpaĂ am programmieren alleine habe. Ich hatte nie das BedĂŒrfnis, als Kind oder Jugendlicher an einem Computer oder C64 herumzubasteln. Statt dessen bin ich Ende der 90er dem Internet/Web/Bloggen verfallen.
Das Web war:
But if you think of the years 1995-2005, you remember when the web was our social network: blogs, comments on blogs, feed readers, and services such as Flickr, Technorati, and BlogBridge to glue things together. Those were great years [âŠ]
Eigentlich passt auch die Beschreibung des IndieWebs:
It is a community of independent and personal websites connected by open standards and based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.
Ich habe damals angefangen Webseiten mit Frontpage zu bauen, hab den HTML Code verĂ€ndert und geschaut wie sich das auf sie Seite auswirkt, hab CSS âdrĂŒber gelegtâ, ein wenig Dynamik mit JavaScript dazu âgebasteltâ⊠Es hat SpaĂ gemacht!
Ich bin also nicht durch die Freude am Programmieren im Web gelandet, sondern habe durch die Faszination am Web, programmieren gelernt đ
Wer sich damals, im deutschsprachigen Raum, mehr oder weniger seriös mit dem Thema HTML beschĂ€ftigt hat, ist frĂŒher oder spĂ€ter ĂŒber die Webkrauts gestolpert und ĂŒber diesen Dunstkreis, habe ich 2006 auch das erste Mal von Microformats gelesen.
Wenn man in letzter Zeit durchs Internet surft, stolpert man immer hĂ€ufiger ĂŒber den Begriff âMicroformatsâ oder sieht das grĂŒne Symbol auf Kontaktseiten. Aber was genau sind Microformats und fĂŒr was sind sie gut?
Ich glaub es war das Blog von @pixelgraphix auf dem ich dieses âgrĂŒne Symbolâ zum ersten Mal entdeckt habe.
Die Idee hat mich tief beeindruckt! Ein Format, âdesigned for humans first and machines secondâ! HTML als API ânurâ unter Verwendung von class und rel Attributen, also klassisches Plain Old Semantic HTML (PoSH)!
Und irgendwie beschÀftigen mich Microformats bis jetzt:
Durch die Erfahrung der letzten Jahre habe ich mittlerweile eine etwas differenziertere Meinung zu âHTML als APIâ, das Ăndert aber nichts an meiner generellen Faszination fĂŒr Websemantiken.
Die Microformats Community hat mir auĂerdem die Welt des Open Webs und der Open Standards offenbart, immerhin haben Microformats direkt oder indirekt auch Initiativen wie DataPortability.org, DiSo und das IndieWeb beeinflusst.
Danke Microformats und noch einmal Happy Birthday đ„ł!

Good summary blog post on some of the IndieWeb-related improvements @paulrobertlloyd has made recently. The updated design of the IndieWeb wiki pages is a nice improvement. Paul and others will be gathering in Brighton for IndieWebCamp⊠Iâll try to join remotely too if the time zones work out.
