An achievement of this weekend!
As you can see, I've kept this wavy menu shape and made it transform into a neat table when the site is viewed from a mobile device.

@elly A nice read which beautifully explains the #indieweb, but the writing is quite watery, and the page kind of goes against its own spiel of 'Don't worry about design.'

One strategy I’ve seen is those who provide an RSS feed that is basically a long excerpt that requires you to visit the site in order the finish reading. I get why you would do this but it seems counter to the ethos of it. If they don’t visit your site, did they really read your story? IDK. #RSS #IndieWeb

I’ve added a Community Feed page where people who sign up can have their RSS links included. You have be a member of the circus, but it’s nearly free. All it costs is your email which will only be used to send updates on new stories. Take a peek. #RSS #IndieWeb

Just discovered (a bit late), that one could send Webmentions directly using curl from the terminal.
This was from discovering there's a IndieWeb News feed called IndieNews:
https://news.indieweb.org/en
Might try to submit a few more of my previous posts about IndieWeb to it—then the next thing to tackle is setup automated sending of Webmentions!

I’m thinking of including a page of RSS links on my website, so that people can discover new content made by actual artists and writers. Sites I like, people I know, new shit I discover.
How many of you actually and regularly use an RSS reader? I have one, but I don’t use it consistently. Not yet, anyway.
Here is mine:

Is this something that would be helpful?

That’s when I learned something most blogging advice ignores: new blogs don’t get traffic from SEO first. Search engines don’t trust fresh sites yet.
So I stopped waiting for rankings and focused on people instead.
Within days, real readers showed up. No backlinks, no authority, no SEO tricks.
I explained the full approach here:

Accepting that my home page will always need a little more work because I'm prioritizing more directly active community group projects...
But also needs to be decent enough to be a 'good example'.
While remembering I am NEVER going to impress someone who wants web 3.0 graphics more than they want sustainability, control, or personal security.

Building software is one thing, making it intuitive to use is another. In retrospect, it feels obvious that hiding Quiet Portal's "create account" view three clicks away from the home page wasn't the best idea. I'm very grateful for all the feedback I've received so far, which has been instrumental to progress. If any part of the website feels confusing, or you feel a feature is missing, please let me know!

I have officially chopped down my Linktree and moved to a self-hosted @linkstack instance. I made the switch because I am tired of proprietary silos tracking every click. With LinkStack, I own my data and I am supporting a FOSS project that respects user freedom.
No walled gardens. My data, under my roof.
You can take a look at it here: https://links.terminaltilt.com/
