Here’s the thing. For Jottit to truly become a commons infrastructure, it has to be replaceable. Otherwise it’s just another platform that locks in.
This is why Jottit is built on open protocols as much as possible. To make it one implementation of something that could have many implementations. #indieweb
Jottit makes creating a website really easy. Which is true, but… Here’s a different way of thinking about Jottit that really excites me: as an open infrastructure for web publishing. Micropub-compatible, file-based storage, git-backed, zero lock-in. The commons layer the web never got #indieweb
The internet desperately needs more projects like Astro. Here's co-creator Nate Moore on why we can't have nice things.
In 2024, I hosted the IndieWeb Carnival blogging event for the first time and it was a ton of fun!
This May, I'm hosting another one and while we wait for that, a fellow host Zachary (who is currently hosting one, you should check it out, links in post) hosted a Q&A on his site.
I was happy to participate and shared my answers in my blog as well.

Been having some fun with website themes lately, here's a detailed blog post of how I manage them

Calling people who write their own #websites by hand, or appreciate those who do!
Do you have a favourite #links page style? It's been ages since I've composed a website manually. I'm avoiding CMS for now, just doing it the hard way with #html and #css, but want to make an attractive table of links to other sites, and a bit of blurb about them.
Seeking minimalist style and maximum #accessibility .
Thanky'all

Amicə, che motore di ricerca usate per trovare informazioni nello #smallweb ?
Ovvero tutti quei siti / blog indipendenti
Ogni tanto raccatto qualcosa qua e la tramite HackerNews e qualche motore trovato in giro, ma vorrei sapere cosa usate come bussola per navigare questo mondo più indie
Boost apprezzati, ho proprio bisogno di smettere di cercare su Google e simili che non funzionano più!
I started writing a blog post about boredom, and then I saw that the Bear Blog carnival prompt for February was boredom!
I'm pretty happy with how my response turned out:

Not only are workloads increasing, by hollowing out their junior ranks, businesses are putting themselves squarely in the path of a slow-burning demographic time bomb as seniors begin to retire in record numbers.
"There won’t be an endless supply of experienced hires to fall back on, so everyone will be fighting for the limited, increasingly expensive talent with domain expertise"
What exactly is the tech-industry's endgame here?

At tonight's San Diego #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club I blogged. It's maudlin but when I read it back to myself I felt alright about it. There's so much to be done. https://artlung.com/blog/2026/02/03/hwc-freedom/

I built a postroll for my site using Linkding (self-hosted bookmark manager) and Flora (static site generator that @nickv created).
It's still a work in progress, but I'm already happier with it than my previous blogroll, which didn't give me enough granularity:
