@paternoster:

‘For me, an updated definition of the indieweb needs to respond to a more relevant set of problems. Here’s what I’m going with:

‘ The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”. It consists of creative websites such as blogs that are not published on closed, corporate platforms characterised by VC-funding, scale and marketisation.’

Screenshot teaser for something I’ve been working on over the holidays, for launch next year. I think this could be a big deal. Can’t share the details yet! Perfectly fits with the Micro.blog and IndieWeb principle of pluralism: multiple protocols, platforms, anything that makes the open web better.

A few months ago I turned off fediverse publishing for my blog. Some of my posts still trickle out to the fediverse, via conversations, which is fine. I haven’t missed it. I still get replies on Micro.blog and from Bluesky. I’m going to turn the fediverse back on and see how things are in 2026. 👋

Following on my post about the fediverse for next year, I’m going to be doing some work to clean out never-used or spammy accounts in Micro.blog. Micro.blog is currently 6th most popular fediverse software for total users, but will fall off after more housekeeping.

New Year's Day there'll be a kickoff Zoom for #IndieWeb hackathon in January. It'll be a bit like #IndieWebCarnival events but centered on improving software used for indie websites ~ testing, coding, validating. https://events.indieweb.org/2026/01/january-hackathon-kickoff-NCj8j08Gmkxx Hosted by @anthony

Red clover extract is derived from the flowers of the red clover plant, known for its rich isoflavones, which are plant-based compounds similar to estrogen. It's used in supplements for supporting hormonal balance, easing menopause symptoms, and promoting bone health and heart health.

@janneke for the (much smaller scale) #IndieWeb events, vegetarian or vegan is the default. I found that organising it that way is easiest, and people don't mind (or will arrange something for themselves in addition)

This Just In: It’s time to look back at the year that was and set up some hopes and dreams for the year to come, or something like that.

One of my objectives for this week off was to connect a CMS to my 11ty site to make it easier to post from mobile - here is PagesCMS editing my repo directly, with Netlify auto publishing any commits. ✅ #notes #indieweb #eleventy #changelog

If you think you are better than normal consumers, because you buy quality instead of quantity, try putting some more thought into it

today's website tinker was figuring out how to show when I'm actively listening to music (with sooooo much help from tim!) and I am ~obsessed~ with how it turned out.

now when I'm listening to something it shows an "on air" light and the album art spins, it's too cute actually

New hVmark Release: v1.5.0

I added something that probably should’ve been deployed with subheadings:
horizontal rules (---, ***, ___)
Better late than never.

GitHub: https://github.com/HisVirusness/hvmark
Docs: https://hisvirusness.com/hvmark#2025-12-29-v1-5-0

hVmark is my tiny, opinionated markup language: MIT-licensed, intentionally strict, and built to power HisVirusness.com.

Okay, for the indie creators in the room: what would be useful for you to have handy when you’re:
- At a conference
- Running promotions & giveaways
- Keeping tabs on commissions/consulting gigs

Thinking about features for Little CRM
