It's been years since I implemented an RSS/Atom feed myself, and I'm struggling with content encoding for the ATOM <content> element.

From my reading, it should be html-escaped (see first screenshot). But Newsblur and feeder.co are both showing unrendered HTML (second shot).

Are these maybe cached from a previous broken version (as I've been working on this) or is the code wrong?

Current feed URL: https://monkinetic.blog/feed.xml

any help appreciated #RSS #ATOM #syndication #indieweb

Any bloggers here? I want to see and read your blogs because I am curious about how others create their blogs, what the topics are about, and the design. 😄☀️

Back in the 1990s.
Text-oriented — no videos, just a few images.
No ads, no beacons, no platform filtering.
Each page had an email address —
you could write to the author directly.
The web was small and hand-made,
pages written in raw HTML, shared without templates.
A slower web —
where we could publish whatever we thought.
We can build that environment again.

OS community: "But you can self-host a #GitHub alternative".
Me: Probably not.

An #UnpopularOpinion on #FLOSS, #selfhosting, and #indieweb.

What GitHub is, and thus what its key features are, differs a lot over users, and use-cases.

Start with asking what Github *is* for the people it now serves, and the use case when you want to replace it.

Some "key features" for projects where I used GitHub are:

Just pushed a little design refresh to stygiantech.dev

Was able to refactor some code to stop calling useEffect() to swap between light and dark mode for device mockups to keep more of the site rendered server-side

Check it out!

Ugh broke my blog again #blogging #selfhosting #indieweb

Hi #weirdweboctober friends. Your work this year was so fun and inspiring! We're honored that OP could assist in such wild webweaving. We've been working on something we call the #OPMultiPass, which is like a mixtape for websites. So, as a show of our appreciation, the very first one is a commemorative Weird Web October 2025 MultiPass. Here it is! Find out how it works here: https://docs.octothorp.es/blog/introducing-multipass/ or watch this short demo https://v.usetapes.com/2XstvTcGmu #SmallWeb #personalweb #weirdweb #indieweb

I like to maintain a list of cool #smallweb #retroweb ##indieweb #smolweb services on a links page at my photo blog. Any suggestions of nice community oriented services you've come across?

The update blog is out! https://11tycms.com/blog/posts/11tycms-major-refactoring-better-state-management-and-site-history-selection/

This one’s a big one: from code refactoring, state management overhaul, all the way to the site dashboard and better site publishing abilities. Come get the updates while they’re hot!

In the 1990s, the web felt hand-made and diverse —
a place where people shared raw thoughts,
not personal brands or business or platform bias.
Maybe it’s time to rediscover that slower, smaller web again.
To seek essential, thoughtful information —
not the viral noise of likes, rankings, or social feeds.

#SlowWeb #IndieWeb #LoFiThinking #SmallInternet #DigitalGarden

Another blog post on its way! This one will be a big one: major refactoring, better state management, site history, site dashboard AND the ability to set and change your build and publish commands _per site_. The alpha release is so close 👀 #11tyCMS #11ty #indieweb

The Odd Technical Battle Within the AI Browser Explosion

The Browser Company made some interesting claims about not being able to get the performance needed out of SwiftUI for Dia, but Atlas went all in on it

“ Marginalia is a free and open-source, collaborative article annotation and publishing platform. ”

The text splitting off kind of drives me crazy but I like the concept

I prototyped a connection between @pixelfed and my website for this weekend’s #indieweb event in Berlin, and this was the picture I took of my little guy during the live demo.
