I’m weighing moving my fediverse presence (but not my website) back to micro.blog rather than running own instance. What I don’t know is if I would still receive like and boost webmentions made on mastodon, though not surfaced on micro.blog #indieweb

Finally, my micro website now has a contact form! https://onegood.dev

I've been wanting to blog for a while, so I'm looking for a minimalistic blogging platform that's run by good people and allows me to quickly capture and publish my thoughts.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Made my homepage header easier to read in both dark and light modes.

i hate to admit this as an #indieweb advocate but i have really been neglecting my personal blog... ugh. i really need to not only start using it again but update the code to improve the usability. posts not having permalinks is a huge issue. but motivation to work on it has been low.

Phew 🥵, what a flurry. Made a ton of changes to the site. The home page now features a mixed feed of all of my posts, notes, logs and other content types. I've also started a link blog to share cool links I come across. Finally, I've figured out how to paginate a TON of stuff, to make some of my pages more performant (https://shellsharks.com/activity/ is one good example of how pagination is making that page usable on mobile now).

With respect to my home page, I used to be kinda precious about only exposing my formal "blog posts", which are supposed to be longer-form, and in some undefinable way, "better" than other things I write and publish on the site. Inspired by others in the #Indieweb community, who proudly feature everything they write, I decided to try out the same. To distinguish between different content types, i've added a splash of color with icons corresponding to different post types. I also hope it can call attention (for those who are interested) to all the other things I publish. For so long, I had these hidden away in pages you could find via my "hamburger" menu, but you had to go exploring to really find most of it. And given the number of things I link to in that menu, I doubt many people had the patience or interest to really hunt down other things. So, here we are!

Let me know what ya think! I'm still tinkering around with the format, theme and other general aesthetics of the site and various pages, but I like it well enough at this point.

I wrote something for the #IndieWeb carnival this month, hosted by @vhbelvadi

I took a different direction here because I just can't shake the feeling that we're ceding the term fricionless to large companies when indie web is the real frictionless web, at least it terms of user experience.

I am on day 39 of my experimental journal.

I am pondering what type of RSS this should/could have. Suggestions?

Trying to find my place in this little corner of the web.

If you need ideas on how to monetize your #indieweb or #smolweb site while staying ethical, take a look at my last post.

I think the more we shine a light on indie/bootstrapped apps, the better. So here we are, a list of my favorite indie/bootstrapped apps:

Quite a while ago, I published my blog post about automating my posts to Pixelfed.

I have now done the same for Bluesky (even though I do not fully stand behind the platform).

You can find it here: https://lna-dev.net/en/posts/projects/bluesky-automation/

this will likely be a recurring reminder as the weeks go by, but i'm so excited about this project. i have to share! (this is the first time i've been nervous to announce something on this side of the web!)

i'm combining my 10 years of journalism experience with my love for the #indieweb by launching GOOD INTERNET, a regular periodical magazine in both print and digital formats. and this is a non-profit, completely independent endeavor!

https://goodinternetmagazine.com/

ultimately, Good Internet will cover a lot of different aspects of the small web: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. it will be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned indie web travelers!

the #smallweb can be hard to keep up with if you aren't "plugged in," especially if you want to find other hobby website owners, folks coding for fun, weird web projects, or artists taking back their digital ownership. it's overdue that this side of the web has an analog publication!

having a central publication about the decentralized parts of the personal web makes me even more excited to share this hobby with those who might not even know about it--all within beautiful, high-res, high-quality pages.

the idea here is to have a physical celebration of this hobby in addition to being informative, helpful, and accessible.

consider signing up for email notifications when we launch the first issue in may 2025:

(if you're interested in #writing an article or op-ed about this side of the web/personal websites, coding an interactive article, or want to know what that even means, send an email to hello@goodinternetmagazine.com! taking pitches for may 2025!)

Ooop, I realize this might be a good place to share this: Some months ago I created a "Sky Look Book" for compiling my favorite of my Sky: CotL outfits over the years.

There's only a handful of outfits I've bothered to put up, but I'm sharing this now since there may be more soon!!

I liked Molly White's discussion (www.citationneeded.news/posse/) of the POSSE (publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere) approach, and I'm planning to continue posting my photos and other stuff on my website and then sharing it here.

Another wonderful contribution to the #IndieWeb Carnival this month. Read Joe’s post and if you have one of your own, let me know—there are still two days to go.
