Google Drive is hardly #indieweb, but look beyond "corporate = bad" and consider the nature of the relationship. They provide a commodity service: you pay them, they store your files.

Those files are a medium of exchange. If (when?) Google screws around, you can easily move the files to a different storage provider. Switching costs for hosted platforms like Tumblr or Instagram are _far_ higher.

www-man tim berners-lee identifies an „issue“ with today‘s web:

„…the extent of power concentration, which contradicts the decentralised spirit I originally envisioned. This has segmented the web, with a fight to keep users hooked on one platform to optimise profit through the passive observation of content.“

and publishes it on medium 😀 #web #indieweb

This weekend I added the ability to click links on my website using a penguin avatar.

Learn how it works (and try it out) on my blog:

I've just tried #Publii

It's a static site generator. Unlike many others, Publii is a graphical application, very easy to use. It manages content edition with 3 different methods:
- Wysiwyg editor
- Block editor (inspired by Medium IHMO)
- Markdown editor
Adding images is simple, you can select one as featured for Organic data, put one in the header for the site or for each post.
It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Collaboration, compassion and creativity. I think the 3 C’s nearly describe the #IndieWeb. https://medium.com/@timberners_lee/marking-the-webs-35th-birthday-an-open-letter-ebb410cc7d42

A lot of great points by @louie on the merits of self-publishing.

“Every new thing that I add to my website works to regain my internet presence away from companies that do not have my interests at heart.”

Another great issue of “own your web”

I think I need to change my portfolio website into some kind of personal blog and start learning all of this
