Self-expression matters deeply in the IndieWeb community, and for good reason. But customization easily becomes complexity. How much is too much?
I landed on two settings for Tinypost: light or dark, plus an accent color. The accent runs through your links, your subscribe button, your whole site. Enough to feel like yours. Not enough to turn into a site builder. https://tinypost.blog #tinypost #indieweb #blogging
What's that? I've published a new article on my website?
All other writing has been on hold until I finished it, but my data review of 2025 is finally done 😅 🎉
I have absolutely no idea if it will be of interest to anyone else, but I love these posts. And this year's was using **even more** of my own, home-grown data, captured directly via the very site it now lives on 😁
From an end-user perspective, it's annoying inbound #ActivityPub functionality in #WordPress requires a separate #Webmention plugin rather than being built into the ActivityPub plug-in.
This makes sense from a _protocol_ point of view, since full-fledged ActivityPub servers can function entirely without sending each other Webmentions, but it really doesn't make sense from a user experience point of view.
I just went down this rabbithole:
Me: "Why aren't fediverse replies showing up as comments on my #WordPress blog postings?"
Me: [searches all over, finds stuff about configuring this in the block editor, discovers that my theme does not support the block editor, spends hours trying to find a theme I can tolerate that supports the block editor, eventually realizes that actually the problem isn't the non-block theme, it's that I didn't have the #Webmention plug-in installed. *sigh*]
et hop ! voici le site du côté de l'#Indieweb !

Homebrew Website Club Pacific will be Wednesday. What's an #IndieWeb HWC? We talk about personal #websites and how to make them work for ourselves. 6pm PDT but we get folks from around the world, too. https://events.indieweb.org/2026/03/homebrew-website-club-pacific-YvXk78angn0I
I got quite far with a community system that I was going to add fedi-integration to, but as the UK government is passing laws that mean you need lawyers/money to run a community these days I decided to shelve it.
I'm now working on individual content hosting app for myself that will have less appeal, but won't leave me as exposed to regulatory issues. If it works out okay I'll make it public
Also switched from .Net to Go(lang) because MSFT are going too hard on AI
Hyperlink Roundup 12 has arrived! The first one in 2026.
It has been a minute but I've collected several links of various topics I've read and found interesting.

That's it! I've finished coding the art gallery on my website! You'll be able to find ALL my drawings there, including that Haiku comic strip that I hadn't been publishing so as not to feed Meta. One more step toward digital independence.

After “a few weeks" I've posted a weeknote again - https://www.vanderwal.net/random/entrysel.php?blog=2138
commissions are open. if you've been sitting on an idea and wondering whether to do something with it, this is a reasonable moment to reach out.
i take commissions for poetry, short fiction, and SvelteKit web development – all listed over at https://ko-fi.com/ewancroft. the silver fire sale is running for another four days, which means reduced prices across everything before standard rates resume. if timing matters to you, now's the window.
anyone who supports me – whether through a commission or just throwing a bit of money my way – gets shown as a sponsor on my website. it's a small thing, but it's there.
**poetry**
i've been writing poetry as a serious pursuit for a while now. my natural register is understated – spare lines, concrete images, things left to sit rather than be explained – but i can work outside that if your brief calls for something else. i've written elegies, love poems, poems about place and memory and the kind of mundane moments that turn out to matter. if you've got an occasion, a person you want something written for, a feeling you can't quite articulate, or just a subject you find interesting, send it over. i'll work from almost any starting point.
commissions come with a brief back-and-forth to make sure i've understood what you're after before i start. the finished piece is yours.
**short fiction**
short stories are a different discipline – more room to develop character and situation, still tight enough that every sentence has to do something. i write literary fiction, quiet horror, character studies, strange realism. if you've got a premise, a scenario, a world you want explored in compact form, i'm interested. i'm also happy to write to a theme or mood if you don't have something specific in mind.
give me something to work with and we'll figure out the shape of it together.
**SvelteKit development**
on the technical side, i build SvelteKit sites. i work with TypeScript, Tailwind, and the AT Protocol ecosystem if that's relevant to you. if you need a clean, functional web presence or a specific feature built out, i can scope it with you and give you a realistic sense of what's involved.
i deploy on Vercel, work with pnpm monorepos, and have production experience across a range of project types. if you've got something in mind, reach out and we can talk through it.
**the silver fire sale**
four days left on the silver fire sale – prices are reduced across all commission types until it ends. after that, standard pricing resumes. if you've been considering it, this is the practical moment to act.
everything is listed at https://ko-fi.com/ewancroft. have a look at what's there, and if something fits, get in touch via the platform, by email at contact@ewancroft.uk or on Bluesky @ewancroft.uk.
