I want you to write a love letter ❤️.

I'm hosting this month's IndieWeb Carnival on the theme of love letters. 18 people have already written one and there's still 11 more days — until the end of May — to participate.

The invitation is for everyone who has (or wants to start) a blog and it's a great way to get involved in the blogging community and connect with other bloggers.

Manche Blogs begleiten einen über Jahre – leise, beständig und mit einer ganz eigenen Stimme. 💙

Seit 2016 schreibt Anna auf ResCru.de über Videospiele, persönliche Eindrücke und all das, was zwischen den Zeilen bleibt.

@Doxys nunca lo usé yo mismo, porque decidí aprender a hacer un sitio web de cero, pero he leído varias veces blogs que estaban hechos en https://bearblog.dev/

Imagino que debe ser bastante simple armar algo ahí. Es súper minimalista, tipo #indieweb / #smallweb / #websencilla

Preguntando con esos hashtags seguro que hay gente mejor informada y con opciones diversas.

despite me still sounding a bit congested, my chat with @jamesg.blog went well! an overall amazing experience on his podcast about the independent web! we could've kept going for hours, i'm sure. <3

we talk about building indie web communities and communicating the possibilities of having a personal website to new audiences and more. thank you so much for having me, james!!!

go give a listen to episode 2 of the Wonders of Web Weaving!

I've enjoyed the first two episodes of the “Wonders of Web Weaving” podcast. A chilled conversation where they chat about the indie web and general nice things about the web.

Spring cleaning time in the repo!

For months, I’ve been building GitRoot (the forge where issues and docs live inside your code). But looking at my landing page, it felt like the garden was overrun by weeds and cold corporate jargon.

Before summer arrives, it was time to pull up the bad weeds and sow some fresh ideas.

I’ve completely rewritten the page into a vision manifesto. No more boring tech-talk, just a raw explanation of why we need software gardens, sap, and leaves to grow projects away from Big Tech's pesticides.

I need your green thumbs. Which soil feels better to plant your seeds in?

1️⃣ The old: https://gitroot.dev/
2️⃣ The new: https://gitroot.dev/branches/new_landing_page/

“Embedding user code in your app using Extism” by Thejesh GN

@thej: «Every application I love has some kind of power-user mode where I can add my own code or scripting to make it useful to me. Simple examples are Firefox with its addons or VLC with its plugins.…»

Yay! I've now managed to add a "social preview" to my #TTRPG site, so link previews look better when I post them on social media, like this:

Does anyone know what service is running on `49.13.198.96`?

Somehow it is sending me WebMentions "from" my own site.

I can't see anything obvious about it. I don't think it is malicious, I'm just a bit confused about what's doing it.

Hey #decentralization people, I am hosting my own server now which means I no longer benefit from the server wide timelines. So I am trying to follow more accounts. Can you recommend me some?

I am interested in:

#decentralisation
#localfirst
#p2p
#CreativeWriting
#filmisnotdead
#indieweb

Plz boost so I can find cool stuff.

I published a new blog post — "Was Adulthood Supposed to Be This Lonely?"

Pushed to prod the inaugural blog post of No Mad Gardens. Fittingly, it’s on running because while running is when most of my writing ideas are first teased into existence.

Called “Why Run”, I’d say it’s more akin to beat poetry stream of consciousness than a legitimate blog post, and I’m okay with that. Worst case, it’s word vomit, best case it’s a writing exercise.

For anyone that has the time or inclination to take a look, I appreciate you in advance and hope you enjoy 😉
