Eva Decker

I've been participating in our local #Indieweb club¹ hosted by my friends @s3thi and @tanvibhakta. With their blessings, I have created a blogroll of all the wonderful writers of the club at https://abhinavsarkar.net/iwcb-blogroll/. It is great to see people #writing about all the things that interest them. #blogging

Look at this wonderful blog! It has #WebMentions and it has a specific theme for #Eink :D

And it has got good posts!

@geeksam If only I had the time/money/relentless focused iteration, I'd have:

- HypertextQL (HTML database)
- Full #indieweb CMS
- one unified feed reader
- Literate Ruby/Markdown
- Database notebooks app
- Write only publisher app
- Email app of my dreams
- …

So much bullshit to be on, so little cycles

📝 Man's Best Friend Album Review

First time ever writing a full album review! It took me forever but it's finally done!

Content warning:Indieweb rant

The more I've thought of Webmentions the more I've come to think it will never take off. It's almost a solution searching for a problem. Unless some platforms come into play that support it natively it doesn't seem worth taking on the technical burden of implementation. The only real reason I would want it on my site is if I wanted to be notified another blog post mentioned it, but if the author wanted me to know about it couldn't they just send a quick email rather than submitting a one field form (as which appears to be the most common setup)? Sure this smooths out the UX a bit, but it's really not that much harder for someone to send an email, and another advantage is you're not trying to implement some kind of HTML API either along with some web service that is always up and listening for incoming messages. It just seems ridiculous to think this will ever be a big thing unless blogging platforms end up doing the work for you.

Don't even get me started on setting up a commenting system with it, people can just POSSE the link to their social media. Comments don't need to live forever, they should be ephemeral.

#indieweb #webmentions

From the statement on better discourse between the ActivityPub and AT Protocol communities:

We do not build a better open social web for everyone by fighting and arguing about protocol superiority. That is not how we achieve a better open social web. Instead, we must work together, cross-pollinate and share ideas, and participate within each other’s communities with respect and mutual understanding.

Co-signing. This came out of the Social Web Community Group meeting yesterday, which I wish I was participating in more often.

Ease Back into Reading with Short Stories

Last time, I wrote about how reading is down across the globe. In this post, I talk about how you can get back into reading by reading short stories. I also link to a few of them that I find interesting.

Forever balancing my personal enjoyment with #SwiftUI and my belief in the #IndieWeb and the future of the web in general

#WebDevelopment #SwiftLang #Developer #Programming

Another day of learning WebDev by failing to fix a bug that is bugging me in the software that I use:


Splash screen in wafrn is scrollable. It was weird and I said why not try to make a bug fix. Cloned a repo, and started digging.


Turns out that during splash screen thare are two elements fighting for the screen space. #indieweb {min-height: 100dvh;} and #splash {min-height: 100dvh} both want all the space.


Git blamed @sztupy for adding a indieweb microformats. A feature that I can't even get working as last commit for Firefox extension was 12 years ago.


I have dug dipper and microformats are generated only for posts and blogs so if I could display microformats only on those pages I would be happy.


I have searched for the magical @document but it was deprecated. I guess the solution must be a bit more complicated and in another part of the codebase.


Next time in my webdev adventures I will venture forth into ![media-1]

And as an aside: if anyone has the ability to edit the #IndieWeb wiki, I'd love to see TumblBee added to the list of options for exporting from Tumblr… 👀

https://indieweb.org/Tumblr#How_to_export_your_data

In case you missed it last month: I made an app! TumblBee is a friendly cross-platform tool for exporting your original #Tumblr posts and pages.

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

Export your content to #Markdown or HTML for use elsewhere, or keep a personal backup for your own records. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux (Flatpak), with pay-what-you-want pricing.

Boosts are appreciated, as always! Let me know if you find this useful or if you'd like to see more things like it :blobcatheart: (It was my birthday recently, and you'd be making my day!)

Has anyone ever done anything with microformats on the web?
I don't mean just adding it to the website, but those microformatted HTMLs being actually used for something?

We all know that overthinking is detrimental to our mental health, but the WAY we think about our experiences is a recent phenomenon. In this piece, I analyze how #Kierkegaard and #Nietzsche have approached the topic of #suffering.
