How to find blog readers the IndieWeb (small web) way

You have an IndieWeb-ish blog. Great. Now what?

This post is my guide to connecting with readers in the IndieWeb way. I make no claims to completeness or dependableness but I think this is mostly right. Feel free to correct me with replies, mentions, or comments.

Am I qualified to write this?

New blog post: That time I wanted to "extract" three packages from monorepos, in two different repositories, all while maintaining the existing commit history for those files. Git hijinks ensue…

Spoilers: I used git-filter-repo

I've published the changelog for my website!

It uses the Conventional Commits specification. Also, it doesn't present all the changes made to the site but a curated list of notable changes worth noting. You may check out here:

Imagine if #Firefox, #Chrome, and their derivatives could render Markdown, AsciiDoc, LaTeX, EPUB, and Gemtext as seamlessly as they handle PDFs. This could revolutionize the way we publish lightweight websites, making it as simple as dropping a text file into a directory.

Call for startups

I wasn’t planning to this time around but accessories at times provide function. Picked up a case and headphone adapter for the Pixel 8a.

OK, so replying to Fediverse posts was already possible not just using ActivityPub’s own Federated Reply block, but also using IndieBlocks’ Reply block … on the condition you also had my […]

So, version 3.0 of the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress comes with a Reply block of its own. Like, I’ll probably stick with my current implementation and continue to just use IndieBlocks’ Reply block for all things microformats, Webmention, and ActivityPub, but: pretty cool […]

New blog post on why I decided to remove Codepen embeds from my home page.

As it gets harder to find good content to read online, I’m enjoying link dumps from various bloggers. Here is one that you should follow.

since i moved, here’s a new #introduction

hi, i’m alex. the grown ass trans guy that disrupts your nice communities.

i’m a disabled kitten in the pond. and i’m the admin of this instance! not minors DNI but i prefer adult audience

what can you expect from me?

  • bad financial advice
  • shitposts
  • dutch shitposts
  • rants on life
  • uncommon takes about things
  • autism

i learn dutch since march 2024 and friends say i do well, but that’s just their opinion. hopefully i move my ass to NL one day.

oh but i can speak polish and english fluently.

i do art! yes! i post it on @illustraties from time to time. i have a website at hofnarretje.eu (that is going to be rewritten one day) - so drawing and indie web are one of my things!

i manage the following things, besides my site:

  • feDistricts, a directory of websites and fedi instances ran by fedi folks, akin to Geocities’ Neighborhoods
  • IDHM, a virtual museum dedicated to the history of internet culture and more
  • this instance!

there’s also the side of me that can get combative, especially about ableism/sanism and transmisandry in particular. i generally don’t take on debates.

i am not tolerant towards academia glorification as i think people should put lived experiences above abstract research that doesn’t care about individual stories. my life story is what radicalized me and that’s what makes people claim i’m “down to earth”.

do not come across if you’re a techbro, foss crusader, ai-bro or whatever flavor of a tumor-inducing replyguy you are. not interested in your opinion either.

also - i’m not interested in your bullshit if you try to act as a spokesperson for [marginalized group] when you’re not of said group. i want to hear from folks themselves.

anyways, feel free to AMA under this post, tag spam with my interests and all for reach: #art #digitalArt #disabled #disability #hardOfHearing #ActuallyAutistic #PTSD #mentalHealth #sanism #ableism #queer #LGBT #transmasc #transman #gaming #videogames #nintendo #yoshi #pokemon #kirby #indieWeb #webdev #webmaster #HTML #CSS #plural #languages #dutch #nederlands

It's been some months since I started syndicating what I post here to my own site, following the #indieweb PESOS model. This also serves as an archive of my microblog.

Wrote some about how I'm doing it using Mastodon's API and a small tool that I wrote, which runs automatically and integrates nicely with my #hugo site. The tool is rather agnostic, and likely fits any workflow involving static files or static site generators.

48 hours later I have learned that it's not possible to send email (pure email, not a service) from a Pages function. Apparently only from Workers. 😢

Now I have to decide whether I want my contact forms to do one of the following. What would you do? #IndieWeb #11ty #webdev

Ditch the form, just put an email address.
Use a Pages function to call an Worker that emails
Use an email API service with a free tier
