This is my first time posting a Wikipedia “Edited” year in review, despite having edited Wikipedia for 20+ years (https://tantek.com/2025/300/t20/wikipedia-editing-anniversary).

While this #indieweb version of a year in review was fun to make and look back on, since all the data is public, there’s an opportunity here for a service (perhaps another XTool) or open source project to create such a summary for any Wikipedia editor.

Beyond a nicer presentation than plain text lists and numbers, such a summary could include visuals like a graphs of some of these stats over time, like Wikipedia pages created or edits of various kinds each year.

Until then, I encourage everyone editing Wikipedia to make their own “Edited” (I made that up, feel free to pick a better term) year in review and post it on your personal site! Feel free to re-use any of the design or separation of numbers that I chose, or make up your own.

I've decided to use Bear Blog for my blog. I like the simplicity and limitations. It reminds me of early blogging platforms that I used to love.

I want something with minimal distractions.

And this from the founder was the clincher:

Fun Pacific HWC #IndieWeb meeting. Some fun links out of last night’s event. Reckoning with “someone asks you how to make a website with a newsletter, how do you respond?” question, and many great ideas, toys, tools shared. https://indieweb.org/events/2026-01-07-hwc-pacific

All I want to do is to work on my website, but some people are paying me to work on their website instead. Welcome to my life.

#IndieWeb

A rousing call to take back our technology and bring back the old web. I read the entire essay!

As I've been saying for a year or two now, *almost nothing has actually changed* technology-wise between 1995 and 2025. Most of HTML 3.5 still works in any browser. It's super easy to learn. I've got that shit on muscle-memory speed-dial and could whip out a site in notepad in 30 minutes!

Nothing has actually been *taken* from us; we've just been discouraged from using it! A bunch of techbros took up a bunch of space and we just said "ok I guess you make all the spaces now." That's nothing but a culture thing! Manipulation! It's psychological!

So let's self-organize an internet the way we did once before.

I've added a #PlainText exporter to my bespoke #StaticSiteGenerator.

Most pages on my site now have .txt counterparts, which for now you can access by appending the extension to the URL directly, e.g. https://balintmagyar.com/colophon.txt

I'd like to look into hosting #GeminiProtocol and/or #Gopher mirrors of my site at some point, and this felt like a logical step towards that. Shout out to @fab for the inspiration!

Updated my Uses page with a new format. I don't know if I like it or I'll tweak it further.

But if you want to know any of the THINGS i use

A new edition of Web Wanderings is out, where I share a handpicked selection of websites discovered through Cloudhiker. It’s a little journey across the internet’s hidden corners. 🤩

This edition is a special one for the #smallweb / #indieweb.

New year, new look:

- I updated the fonts I use on my personal website to nudge the vibe my in a direction that is closer to my authentic self

- I added a couple topic pages: one for my mountaineering adventures, and one for video games that I make and play

- I also created a much-simplified top level index page that more closely matches my authentic self rather than my business persona

I love this person and her golden enthusiasm.

I don’t know her, and I’ve never built my own website, but after her cheerful tale of trials and tribulations, I’m thinking I really want to.

My own little digital garden.

My own plot on the web.

I have some thoughts.
