It's still super alpha, and I'm sure it will require a lot of bugfixes and future dev, but it's been really fun to work on some web software and move further in the indieweb direction.

#indieweb #POSSE

I just finally deployed something I've been working on for a few weeks now: a feed of my writing, posting, reading, and other various activity that lives on my website at https://www.mollywhite.net/feed!

I've admired the POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE; "Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") model for a long time, but only finally found the time and energy to put something together that I'm actually happy with.

#indieweb #POSSE

Here's all the links to pages that inspired me this week and the people behind them.

Like I've been saying, there are some seriously awesome people out there on the webs doing very fun cool stuff. And I'm grateful they're sharing it with all of us. Thanks to you all!

Day one of #IndieWebCampBrighton was great!

It was like having my RSS reader come to life, what with lovely people like @maggie@indieweb.social, @Edent@mastodon.social, and @anarodrigues@front-end.social there too!

@lordmatt
Both this one I’m posting from and my other one support most of the #indieweb microformats including #webmention. In addition, they also support bidirectional #POSSE to ActivityWeb (Mastodon) and ATproto (Bluesky) as well as partial support for other less open SNS silos.

All this is possible thru webmention support of course.

I am building a #list of #bloggers with active (at least one post this year) #blogs that support #webmention – I will publish it soon as my last one was over a year ago.

If that is you, ping me with a link.

If your followers blog, please consider a boost.

If you know a blog that supports webmention, please also ping me a link.

If blogging implies a dated sense of writing, what could independent online publishing be called if it got rid of the date stamp? #blogging #publishing #indieweb

Fairly recently when I was refreshing my view of the SSG landscape I wondered briefly why no one was mentioning Gatsby — which used to be all the rage.

Here’s why. https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2024/03/end-of-gatsby-journey/

🗒️ An ‘Ideas’ page.

I’ve discovered another new thing in my adventures across the federated web: the ‘Ideas’ page.

The "works" page has been updated to the latest contents.

I have been working on improving my personal website little by little, but there are still many things to be done.
Well, I really don't have enough time.

#IndieWeb #SmallWeb #PersonalSites

Had a super minor but personally satisfying moment today with my website. I realized that I've written enough since rebooting my blog in January that I felt the need to pin the intro to the top of the index:

https://alabut.com/writing/

The index is still a bit hidden for now while my home page acts as a design portfolio and that's ok, it's intentional. Maybe that'll change later this year, no rush. Let's see where the garden grows and needs trimming, repotting, etc.

In a possible lifetime first, I discover a singular instance where Past Me was not, in fact, a dick.

Amazing products go unsold when no one sticks around for the presentation.

Your ability to survive on your services disappears when you promote yourself with a blank page.

Cached pages for your (WordPress) website aren’t a technical matter – they are a matter of survival.

Length of time visitors are kept
waiting in the lobby. Uncached (Blue). Cached (Green)

In my search to meet my own personal expectations for my desired user experience for ‘Autonomy & Agency v4.1.0’ – I auditioned, tested, and tested again multiple caching strategies and WordPress plugins.

I started with the big hitters of the caching plugin world – my frustration was great. Name recognition soared while ability to perform struggled to keep up.

With Developer Console open, I ran each ‘solution candidate’ through multiple testing variations and all I unearthed was disappointment and on a few occasions – even frustration.

The claim of ability to do a thing is not synonymous with the doing of the thing.

I believe if we were all afforded the time and capacity to look more closely at matters of performance and outcome across a great many arenas beyond simple page caching – we would find leading solutions aren’t often solutions at all.

I added a directory section to my website for links to other people's sites as well as handy resources and other fun things on the internet that I had bookmarked.

If we're mutuals on here and I somehow missed your site, get in touch with me if you want it added to the directory. I prefer non-social media/non-commercial links on this list; check out Neocities if you want to make a free DIY website, or consider starting a blog!

haven’t been able to finish building my new site so i can post writing bc my computer has been in repair for like three weeks now, so i’m tapping away on my phone but it’s just not the same. i feel like i need an electric typewriter or a knockaround computer like an old thinkpad

I worked on adding tags to the Fern River Club site last night, and included some provisional tags on the season 1 scenes. I like the idea of tags highlighting sexy themes that link the scenes together differently than people and places. “Self love”, for example, and “social nudity”.

What kinds of tags do you like to see on erotic stories? What subtleties feel exciting to highlight?

Good idea here from Ben Werdmuller for a Fediverse VIP service:

Fediverse VIP is a managed service that allows any brand to create individual fediverse profiles for its employees and shared ones for its publications, on its own domain, using its own brand styles, with abuse prevention and individual safety features, and with full analytics reporting.

Micro.blog Teams could fill part of this need, with multiple users each with their own subdomain or posts on a group blog. With our pricing changes, we’ve sort of buried Teams, but probably should do more to promote it.
