Surfing the Web in Reader View

If you are familiar with the Firefox web browser, then I am sure you are familiar with its reader view functionality. Wouldn't be nice if you could surf the entire web in reader view mode only. Well, you can (almost).

@nim here with an account of teaching a room full of people to make art sites with basic HTML in the former back room of a Lady Footlocker in 2025. https://ideastore.dev/blog/The-Rad-Web/ The radness was greatly enhanced by code and work of @glitchdotcom @stefan @spencerchang and @eleventy #indieweb #webart #ladyfootlocker #octothorpes

@matrix.org has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr. We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.

We're at a crossroads

@matrix has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr.

We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.

It's the classic FOSS fundraising problem: use and adoption are at an all-time high, wealthy companies and countries use it, and secure decentralized comms have never been important. And yet, we can't pay our bills.

Open Web Conversations



Ich habe einen neuen Podcast! 🎉

...naja, nicht ganz ☺️

Aber ich darf (neben Courtney Robertson, Dave Lockie und Robert Jacobi) eine Show auf @dothewoo.io hosten!

Knapp 17 Jahre nach der ersten und fast 14 Jahre nach der letzten Episode des OpenWebPodcasts darf ich wieder mit Gästen ßber das Fediverse, das IndieWeb, das OpenWeb im Allgemeinen und diesmal speziell (aber nicht zwingend) im Kontext von WordPress sprechen.

Same Same But Different: Der Titel ist […]

Open Web Conversations

Um, actually, Kittybox is a dynamic web server, but the HTML it serves as the post content (i.e. the text you are reading right now) is a string stored in the database as part of the MF2-JSON object.

This means that to inject a style in a post, I need to somehow hash the style block and then communicate the CSP hash to the web-server (maybe as a technical property on the HTML blob inside the MF2-JSON I store in the database?).

Parsing the HTML is the hard part, but I guess as I already have a parser for Webmention processing, I could reuse the same parser for that. Storing the hashes somewhere and injecting them into the post is also not easy, as I'd have to combine two CSP headers into one (subsequent CSP headers can only restrict the policy). This should probably be done on middleware layer, I guess.

In other words, I'm lazy! ✨ (For now. Until it hurts too much and I'll bite the bullet)

Did some SVG for my web garden as a little treat.

Having seen quite a few of these around the place, I thought I'd give it a shot: the blog question challenge. #indieweb

Now hosting (at ovh.com) my web garden (https://villepreux.net) ! :alice_party:

Used to be a redirection to a statically compiled version of it at https://villapirorum.netlify.app

Very tempted to get rid of any build step and just create-file > write > save > done !

Eternally debating how to organize what / where I blog has me posting far less than I should. Partly as an excuse to try out polls a question: when reading blogs which do you prefer in terms of topics?

For context I used to write a lot about fitness and health when I had a business in that space and was doing the whole ~marketing~ thing, and I still want to write some in that vein.

But now what I've published, and even more so the many unfinished drafts of pieces, are all over the place topics wise, with web dev, philosophy, cybersecurity, and others included in the mix. I'm debating whether to consolidate to one site or keep the topics more to one theme with multiple sites.

#indieweb #blogging

One blog to rule them all and on the web publish them
I only read blogs that stay focused on a specific niche or theme
Other (a middle way between #1 and #2 )

Hi! If you are one of the folks interested in those #BlogQuestionsChallenge things that people around the #indieweb are doing, I made a bot that picks a random topic from a given list and posts 3 questions about those topics that you can answer on your blog!

Right now it will post every other Friday at 12pm EST.

Credit to @shellsharks for the idea!

Ich bin heute auf diesen tollen Artikel von Carsten gestoßen. Dort beschreibt er sehr ausführlich die Unterschiede des Fediverse und des IndieWeb und wie man beide Konzepte kombinieren kann.
