Updated my /now page.

Finished one book, started another. Made my mind up about a programming project.

I wrote about going with my partner to a cool telecommunications museum — the staff even let me send messages over a teletype!

James is hosting this month's IndieWeb carnival on the topic of “museum memories,” and this is my entry.

After Madblog, how many of you would like #ActivityPub and #Indieweb support to come to GPSTracker too?

This is an idea that I’ve been flirting with for a while.

Like many Millennials, 10-15 years ago I was into the Foursquare-mania. It was the age where pubs would offer discount to their Foursquare mayor and where people used to share their Foursquare stats and compete on how many badges they had collected.

Then Foursquare decided to pivot its platform towards the business-side instead, the check-in app was spun off into Swarm, it gradually lost users but it gained trackers, and by now I think only 1-2 of my contacts (out of >100 in the golden age) still use it.

By now I don’t think anyone has filled that gap; there isn’t any social media built around networks that share and recommend their check-ins.

#GPSTracker already supports a lot of tracking, timeline and check-in features, synchronization of geo events with mobile devices, and even stats with arbitrary aggregations (by country, time range, city, region etc.). Plus some features that Foursquare never implemented (like searching for checkins on the timeline by simply selecting an area on the map).

#Microformats already support location tags through the h-adr class, although they are rarely used. Both #Webmentions and ActivityPub could send check-in activities as permalinks to pages with those tags. And the #OpenStreetMap APIs could do the heavylifting of retrieving POIs in in a certain lat/long box.

The only hurdle would be implementing the protocols under the hood, as both the Webmentions and Pubby libraries are in #Python while #GPSTracker is in #Typescript. But it could be a good chance to start writing multi-language bindings for those libraries.

Let me know if it’s something that you would use, or even self-host, and if you know if there’s anything in the Fediverse that already fills this niche.

@operationpuppet I like 11ty for static hosting. Plus you can pull in your old wordpress posts fairly quickly.

I was hard at work this morning installing microformats onto my pureblog site. I still need to do the h-feeds, and I'm yet to come up with a way of doing tags given the way they are produced.

Okay #fediverse hit me: I want to juice my personal site/blog and get it away from Wordpress. What are your favourite fedi-connected frameworks/platforms? Self hosting preferred. #blog #indieweb

This is a really interesting tool for browsing the #SmallWeb #indieweb

Algo que veo muchísimo en sitios personales en inglés es que en lugar de poner "Mastodon" en el link a sus cuentas, ponen "Fediverse" 🤔

I am forever doing a million projects! I am considering adding a proper "projects" page to my personal site, or maybe retooling the "/now" section on my about page to capture the bigger-picture visions I have going on.

This kanban CSS snippet might be what makes it happen. When I was using Notion more I was a kanban freak. Ty @artlung

#IndieWeb

I gave up on email a long time ago. I have over 25,000 unread messages in my Gmail, and I bet less than 1% of them are from people I know. I’m sure I’m not the only one. And it’s a shame, because once upon a time it was an intimate medium fo short or long form correspondence.

I like what 37signals did with hey.com, but it really needed to be a protocol, not a website.

Easy-to-use whitelists are a necessity.
