The page on my personal website that *I* visit most often is probably my list of recipes. I use it as my kitchen notebook. I really do prepare these on a regular basis and will often tweak them over time.

I reference the list before shopping to help me come up with a meal plan. I open a recipe on my phone during cooking. There are draft pages for recipes I'm not happy with yet. And while it's quite personal, and I imagine not very useful to other people, I like having it on my website. It keeps me using the space.

Had another fun night where I'm wide awake at 3 am, so I decided to finally start integrating Webmentions into my blog.

Thanks to Brid.gy and Webmention.io, the number of Mastodon favorites on my last blog post (https://kat5.dev/blog/2026/boredom) now appear at the bottom.

My next task is going to be showing the Mastodon avatars and Webmention sources instead of the counter.

I realize I'm sort of reinventing the wheel here, when plenty of static site generators can do this already, but it's neat to build my own solution from scratch.

Definir qué es una red social no es nada fácil porque interseca con otras plataformas como mensajería instantánea, vídeos, o #superapps.

Luego también hay redes sociales alternativas que se rigen por unas lógicas totalmente distintas a la de los gigantes que conocemos y que no son el problema.

Bracket is a fully open-source, self-hosted tournament system built with FastAPI and Vite.

Supports single-elimination, round-robin, and Swiss formats, with drag-and-drop scheduling, public dashboards, and full data ownership. A great escape from proprietary, cloud-only tournament platforms.

At today's #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club: Pacific online meeting, we discussed how to track books and reading habits.

Some people, like Nick, tracks books manually: https://social.lol/@nsmsn/115824912511030742

And others like @joel uses #Bookwyrm + a manual blog page https://joelchrono.xyz/bookshelf

I'm also considering using Bookwyrm and restart my book tracking.

I love reading /uses pages on the #indieweb, but I always want to know more about WHY people use what they use... so I made sure to add that information to my own /uses page. :blobmiou:

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.
