First post about the rabbit hole, I fell in while I attended the #eh22:
Welcome to the IndieWeb: https://serverless.industries/2025/05/07/welcome-to-indieweb.en.html
back when i first joined mastodon, one of the many surprising things i learned was that gopher had made a return to the public sphere after decades of obscurity.
i grew up with gopher and archie and veronica and many other www-alt protocols before getting hooked on the world wide web. they taught me how to hunt for things, in a time when web search didn't exist yet.
i've spent every day of the past week adding a new feature to kiki that i'm incredibly proud of, after hearing from several folks - namely @tomjennings and @scott, who (like me) are hungry for an information-dense and cruft-free internet
this works by turning your kiki pages into gopherspace pages through some formatting magic and textmunging. so now, you can host your kiki instance on both the www and in gopherspace, simultaneously.
it will be released in an upcoming version of kiki, available soon here: https://tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki

In a bit there'll be an #IndieWeb Zoom: "Homebrew Website Club Europe/London" It's a good place to talk story about personal websites, identity online, blogging, POSSE. Might be your cup of tea, whether you're in the UK or not. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/05/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-gVJ28mnFGAUh #SmallWeb
Some fun indie/cozy-web directories:
For those whose websites:

@DotheWoo I have been trying to use this for the last year it's a very strange #UX I think this alien feeling comes from it being built for the #indieweb which is a subculture of the #openweb reboot.
I keep it installed on my #WP as i feel it must be useful, but haven't found a use for it yet, the is something that I can't get my head around in its #UX
Wer ein YouTube-Video in seiner Webseite einbettet, kann nicht garantieren, dass jeder Besucher seiner Webseite, immer dasselbe Video zu sehen bekommt!
Hier könnte sich der Einsatz einer Peertube Instanz lohnen.

Anyone familiar with a lightweight text-wget type tool to pull text-only from http articles? I like to save clippings offline of various web articles for future reference/research (journalism, essays, etc) but my current solution is to: (i) toggle reader view + strip out images (ii) print - save as PDF. Anyone else got a more lightweight way to pull plaintext from web pages? I *imagine* there's some simple tools out there using e.g. python web scraping + parsing? #web #journalism #webtech #indieweb

Blogged about the 2 protests I attended against the #SupremeCourt ruling.
Its about the importance of #protest and the sorts of environments we cultivate at demonstrations. Its about the importance of protest being not just an opportunity for spreading a message: but an opportunity for community, building connections and mutual support.
A short post about life.
Hey hypothetical question for users of Publii:
I noticed that there is a custom HTML block option. Is it possible to make an "old school" styled web page with divs and all that though that and still use the blog functionality?
Like this is years in the future, and I want practice HTML on neocoties first but I would love to make an 2000s style website for my brand in the future.
If I can ever get that off the ground...
