@VaylLarkinPoet #bearblog and #pagecord look pretty cool. I did a short write up on those and others.

You can also ask around on #indieweb #smallweb #personalweb #smolweb

They are all pretty active around the #fediverse and usually have great advice on tools.

…… aaand we’re back. The “human-friendly” #webmention endpoint returned a 302 instead of a 202 for *all* http requests. Now it distinguishes between general requests and those coming from an HTML form. Still not sure whether this is the best solution, but it works for now. 🤔

Question for the ether: I have an *old* WordPress site backed up. Not sure on exact version, but from 2009. I have all of the files, but no database (or at least no .SQL export file; I may have the literal files of the db, not sure).

I want to run the site locally on Windows, so that I can see what it looked like. Don't really need content, just mainly the layout and page structure, CSS, basically the theme is what I want to recover. Is this possible? #wordpress #indieweb

@an0key I also use this library for some purposes. Easy to drop in on a website if it has PHP. https://github.com/Inklings-io/selfauth

Ultimately all about choices and what one is comfortable with! That's the #IndieWeb way to my way of thinking.

Mastodon is expensive to host. Maybe it's better to just go back to the 90s and have static sites.

Meetable Release Notes - October 2025

I just released some updates for Meetable, my open source event listing website.

I want to share a small preview of a redesign for powRSS to make discovery more fun and intuitive.

I am adding a "recently joined" sidebar to the homepage as well as a new retro design!

A design refresh is coming too!

Can't wait to share more details soon 😁

I just read the great post by @bojidar_bg on contacting people on the IndieWeb, and this is exactly the type of interactions we should be striving for!!

While metrics like page views and clicks may matter to some, it's truly the human connection and feedback via e-mail and comments that will strengthen a community even when we are all writing from our own sites.

Check out the post!

Dear fediverse / indieweb, I am trying to figure out if there are easy way for me to count reactions (favorite/boost/replies etc.) of a website link without going through too much troubles.

So far it seems the only viable way is backfeed via bridgy and convert interactions into webmentions, then count it that way?

But I look into bridgy and currently it doesn’t actually count many non-mastodon activitypub servers, I wonder if there are alternatives?

Back to exploring the small/indie web, this time around I'm trying my luck at contacting the small web... over email!

Read for a 3.4K summary of my experience with a number of small-web websites, all in pursuit of one simple question:
- Do people like it when you contact them about stuff they wrote earlier? 😅
