I love the idea of the #indieweb, I've been making personal sites for 25 years.

But I find it so hard to find concrete, practical steps on the "official" site and stuff like Henry codes.

The problem in my experience has never been about mindset or ideas, its purely practical.

People need to know **how** and **where** to make a site.

If you use Google pages does that count as owning your own data? GitHub pages? VPS? Does it have to be a raspberry pi in your basement?

I don't need to be the best. I can just aim for barely more than nothing. :)

🤡 So you want to be a digital maverick with your own website, but you're still clinging to the mainstream like a toddler to a security blanket? 🤔 Welcome to the #IndieWeb, where the menu is longer than the actual advice and everyone pretends they invented the concept of posting stuff online. 🙄

@henry thanks a lot for writing down your ideas and sharing them! And thanks for keeping alive #IvanIllich's thinking. I first came across #conviviality in the realm of the #commons and #degrowth. I like the application to the web. Strongly feel encouraged to finally built my own website. Last year came across #HTMLforPeople and refreshed my HTML skills. Shoutout to @bw #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

@adam @w8emv thank you both! This is so enlightening (and new) to me! This will be some stuff to read over the weekend 😁

I’d like to focus on my writing too, especially because this is the first time blogging or having a place of my own on the #indieweb, so I wouldn’t want to stray from the goal - but at the same time, I would love making this task easier while I’m learning new things.

How to win the war for the soul of the internet and build the Web We Want.

"Illich’s thesis is that technology and its derived tools should serve people in a way that enhances their freedom, creativity, independence, and will.

The distillation of those principles on the web through manual code, hand-built social networks, and blogs, points luminously to one answer to the question of how the Internet can best serve humans:
it’s..."

#introduction

I co-own a software studio,@tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.

Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into #encryption and want to help. We plan to make it #opensource, and I will post a bit about our journey.)

I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.

I care about #climate , #TechEthics (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. #FuckCars. Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.

I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in #SmallWeb, #RightToRepair and similar initiatives.

I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.

I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes #scifi ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for #sękacz / #Baumkuchen, and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.

Would love to connect with parent-builders, #solarpunk dreamers, #urbanism folks, #IndieWeb people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.

Do say hello! 👋

On HN:

> Using an #IndieWeb approach i.e. #Selfhost, there's an intrinsic guarantee that a publisher has put at least some effort and resources to make their materials public.

> This ensures that the published materials have certain 🫶 #authenticity and inherent amount of 💎 #quality. Publishing them "the indie way" functions as a kind of proof of work: not a guarantee of #excellence but evidence that something 💗 #meaningful was at stake in producing and sharing it.

On Valentines Day last year I posted about de-googling my life. It has taken a long time to leap into the next step but yesterday, another biggie went as I moved my main email from Google.

2026 goals I’ve heard:
* Dry January — avoid alcohol
* Meatless January — avoid meat

If you have a personal website, how about also:

* No Socials January — avoid #socialMedia silos

No posting on social media, just for a month (not counting DMs).

Instead, since you have your own website, post there, and see how that feels.

If you don’t have a personal website, make it your goal for the month to set one up. The #IndieWeb folks https://indieweb.org/ can help! Join https://chat.indieweb.org/

Once again I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb #100Posts project for the year.

This is post 1.

I’ve recently added a bookmark to https://indieblog.page /random in my browser (desktop and mobile), and it’s such a delight. Highly recommended. It really feels like surfing the web back in the day; I’ve stumbled on so many interesting blogs. And as an incredible bonus: time spent browsing these sites is time not spent doomscrolling.

Huge shout out to @splitbrain for maintaining this service and its Fediverse extension @indieblog!
