Found 2 fantastic #RSS tools.

Firstly, an RSS search engine. Quite literally. It finds blogs and stuff with RSS feeds and is amazing for finding new #IndieWeb blogs to try https://feedle.world/

The second is a tool that displays RSS feeds that your Mastodon/Fediverse network share! https://rss-is-dead.lol/

I am very jealous of everyone going to IndieWebCamp this week. I can’t wait to hear about it.

I watched a great video by Lauren Kim titled “I deleted all my social media and made a website” (runtime 26:55).

She broke it into a few chapters. In “Why a website,” I liked the focus on a website as a long-term project. She also emphasized creating things for ourselves/the sake of creativity, not so much for the social validation.

Then there was the website tour itself. It was great to see how excited she was and how much thought she’d put into the whole process. I’m glad to see younger generations making these connections and working on personal websites.

The indieweb kids are alright.

Setting up my goal for the week. Adding some “cornerstones" to the website (thanks, @glyn, for the suggestion!).

There's so much inspiration to draw from across the #indieweb community. Thank you all for your continued awesomeness!

I spent the last week scraping through a terabyte of GeoCities archives and collecting ALL THE #88x31 buttons! In the end, I gathered 29257 unique buttons (75k with duplicates). They are available at https://hellnet.work/8831/

Check them out!

I also have the dataset (~160MB), stats and a bit about the scraping process here: https://hellnet.work/8831/stats.html

Minutes to Midnight - De-brand https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/de-brand/

This is refreshing to read: an approach to remove notions of personal brand and fishing for user emails and making a sale from personal websites.

@kasparsd I would probably pick this back up if enough people were interested; the thing is, I don’t really use it myself, not anymore.

I’m rather happy with my current workflow, which is: Micropub app → WordPress → (optionally) crosspost to Mastodon.

Although I crosspost less and less, seeing as my site supports ActivityPub natively (which supports [some] HTML, something the Mastodon API does not).

Our friends at @Iconfactory are less than $1,000 from reaching their first stretch goal in the final day of their #kickstarter! Boost and share and let’s push them over the line today to get the next great #indiedev app built!

Some little gems to power your web by humans:

rss-is-dead.lol: A little app that scan your Mastodon following and show who have an RSS feed. Great to find other bloggers!

RSS Anything: Transform any old website with a list of links into an RSS Feed

StreetPass: This extension warns you when you browse a website and the people running it has a Mastodon profile.

Hey #WebDev could you let clients know that every time they force me to disable ad block I just don't read their website/content? Thank you! The same goes for #IndieWeb bloggers. Trust me, your content is not, nor will it ever be, good enough for me to get rid of my ad blocker thank you!

@emerson Perhaps friendi.ca can serve your purpose. It's like a micro-blogging platform with social media integration. You control who can view your content by creating groups (others need to also have an account to a friendi.ca instance, or some other fediverse platform).

@matthiasott’s latest “Own Your Web” has me wondering about building a little app to simulate #SocialBookmarking based on feeding in #RSS feeds from #linklogs. Very #IndieWeb.

I'm using March 2024 to try and move more and more of my digital self to open source software.
