Anybody know if there is a federated alternative to last.fm or listenbrainz? If not, sure seems like it could be a cool idea if you ask me.

Had an immensely satisfying night tinkering with my website without publishing anything publicly, just some private experiments to test out a few ideas. Sometimes the #indieweb means being totally indie from everyone and satisfying an audience of exactly one, blowing on the little embers of your own intrinsic motivation.

While building my new site in #11ty, which is a new tool for me, I wonder if it’s time for me to learn #Git and #versioncontrol as well.

I notice that I over and over again make a backup copy of a Nunjucks partial or my eleventy.config.js before trying something (that more often than not breaks some things). And sometimes I lose track on where I’m in my dev process.

Would I benefit from version control? Any relevant tutorials to share?

I read that the idea of https://indieweb.org is to post on your personal site first then broadcast to everywhere else… but I want the reverse: post in communities where it makes sense (hobbies/circles) then aggregate everything on my site.

So annoying that Gravatar is treated like a public service by Fastmail etc, when it is in fact owned by a for-profit corporation that is stealing small artists' work for AI monetization and persecuting trans people and sex workers.

Similarly, indieweb.org continues to recommend Wordpress despite the AI-stealing (if you haven't yet heard about this: https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/)

Your periodic reminder that IndieWeb.social is a great Mastodon instance for indie web enthusiasts/advocates and could use financial support.

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't. So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 11: jlsksr.de https://jlsksr.de/

Almost missed a second week and now this shameless plug. 😉 Sorry guys.. just wasn't in the mood for Mastodon.. but relaunched my own website.

Ninety Eight

I'm not normally one to get excited about hashtags, but something crossed my bow this week that hit me in the nostalgia bone. There's a group of people trying to bring back the magic of the early internet...and I'm here for it. Welcome to the #IndieWeb. How it was... Being born at the crossroads between Gen-X and Millennial I spent a lot of my adolescence…

Making version noir

I went to sleep and woke up to several people joining the RPG Design Quest! ♥ It's a small #TTRPG design community site based around groups with forums and even live chat. Plus it's #IndieWeb & #Mastodon connected! Come join and talk games with us!

This is completely lovely: a responsive, noir-inspired personal homepage in the form of a comic. I'm inspired. #Indieweb https://anhvn.com/posts/2024/making-version-noir/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

I decided to build a "clap" feature into my #IndieWeb blog, so visitors can show appreciation anonymously and easily, if they want!

I wrote a little about it here https://www.byjp.me/posts/easy-appreciation/; it uses https://val.town (I wish they had a Fediverse account, so I could tag them) and progressive enhancement to be useful and easy even for folks without Javascript browsers ☺️

Please can someone cleverer than me explain how I have fucked up this #CSS?

I have a <blockquote> at the top of the page. But the :before and :after content appears at the bottom of the page.

WTF???

Making incremental website improvements give me warm fuzzies. It’s like each update fills in a piece of my being.
