Starting day 2 of #btconf with Laura Kalbag and some #indieweb vibes.

Facebook news referrals: no sign of the slow-down stopping

Well I'll admit that I stayed up a little bit later than I intended but I managed to hammer it out. Some thoughts on the #indieweb #smolweb #personalsites movement (whatever you want to call it) and, incidentally, the first update to my personal website in 6 months.

I don't know if the world needed another one of these think-pieces but for me, at least, it's a sort of statement of intent. At the very least I hope to put some more effort into my personal site.

My homegrown static site generator (https://git.ussenterprise.xyz/huw/gohuw) and my personal website (https://huwfulcher.com) are slowly taking over my life.

Having loads of fun creating my "homestead on the internet" to share my thoughts & what I'm interested in.

#IndieWeb #blogging #personalwebsite

I'm thinking of writing something about the #indieweb for my personal site and it feels appropriate that I'm making notes longhand. (Though I swear it's not for hipster cred. I'm just tired of staring at my monitor after 8 hours of work.)

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't or unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 15: yyzkevin https://www.yyzkevin.com/

Untapped – Using Simple Tools as a Radical Act of Independence

It would be much harder for a 15-year-old today to View Source and understand the code structure that built the website they’re on. Every site is layered with analytics, code snippets, javascript plugins, CMS data, and more.

This is why the simplicity of HTML and CSS now feels like a radical act. To build a website with just these tools is a small protest against platform capitalism: a way to assert sustainability, independence, longevity.

#html #css #standards #longevity #simplicity #complexity #frontend #development #indieweb #independence #digital #preservation #tools

Hm - how popular and/or useful are #webmention #webmentions and #indieweb ?

We recently came across them, and they would make for a great fit to our own website!

The H-Format is a little odd of a data format, but seem reasonable to parse, and rather trivial to add which is good, and we'd love to see what people can do with it - not to mention seeing comments on our pages without needing to worry about account management etc.

It seems very... Comfortable

I (almost missed and) really enjoyed the first-ever #11tyConf last week.
https://cssence.com/2024/11tyconf/

It had it all: From “_you_ can to that” to “you can do _that_‽”

#11ty #IndieWeb

Here's a comic I made for KayBug Kollective on Twitter for the theme Chaos which to me is the sensory overload of the web and my migraine prone brain and the desire for a simpler and less overwhelming sensory experience.



There's 9 parts (overall comic is quite large so I had to split it) so be sure to swipe / use the carousel to view each of the panels.

I built a prototype for client-side, fully distributed search for the #IndieWeb, predictably called #IndieSearch — check out the short demo & explainer. Your site may even support it already (if you use the awesome #Pagefind static site search!)

I'd love to hear what you think!

Tiny Awards, a celebration of the small, playful, and heartfelt web - Waxy.org https://waxy.org/2023/07/vote-on-the-tiny-awards/ #SmallWeb #IndieWeb

An #IndieWeb community member is doing a survey to better understand sentiments on social media and how personal websites and IndieWeb-like philosophies can help people who are dissatisfied with social media.

The survey is being done as part of an academic assignment.

If it interests you, I’d encourage you to help by filling out the survey!

This weekend I built a prototype of using FedCM for IndieAuth! This gets rid of the need to enter your domain when logging in to websites using IndieAuth! Demo video and notes here: https://aaronparecki.com/2024/05/12/3/fedcm-for-indieauth

FedCM for IndieAuth

IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf took place this weekend, and I was inspired to work on a quick hack for demo day to show off a new feature I've been working on for IndieAuth.

Perhaps we need to do better.

We’ve decided to make our mini services available as individual subscriptions instead of only as part of a plan. So you can now get the form spam bot blocking service on its own for $3/month!
