A Love Letter To Creative Spaces https://britthub.co.uk/a-love-letter-to-creative-spaces/

This post was inspired by Juhis’ IndieWeb Carnival theme for May, A love letter. This is a love letter to creative spaces, community centres, libraries and anywhere that is welcoming to the big table full of slightly chaotic artists who might make a mess of their carpet from time to time. When I was a […]

Your bio doesn't have to look like everyone else's. 🖤

Most people type in plain text and wonder why their profile feels forgettable.

Looking for 3–5 people to help dogfood Verja, a community platform I'm building for small discussion spaces.

This isn't a public launch. I need real people to use it for a week or two and tell me where the friction is.

Minimum asks:

• Register and verify email
• Reply to the welcome thread
• Start one thread
• Tell me what was confusing, awkward, or broken

I'm interested in friction, not praise. Honest feedback is the goal.

I've been building something.

It's called Urban Wilderness. Real documentation for people trying to opt out of systems that weren't built for them. Self-hosted infrastructure, skill bartering, solar in a rented apartment.

There are also logs. And a story unfolding in public.

First post is up. Free, no account required.

@thej: «This Saturday, we drove to Palakkad to meet Pradeep and Dhanya. It was a short morning walk and breakfast meet. We met at the fort, walked around, and chit-chatted while having breakfast at…»

Happy to participate! This should be a reply to your initial post.

Here's how my implementation works for receiving webmentions, BTW:

  1. Verifying the link: I parse HTML with JustHTML looking for the incoming link. If the source is JSON I traverse it recursively. If it's plain text I grep for the link.

  2. Extracting content: I start with a default h-entry (source URL, last-modified, backlink as content), and populate it from microformats.

  3. Rendering: I use mf2dom to render HTML from microformats. There's no sanitization, but I have a list of domains I trust, otherwise incoming mentions are private (visible only to me). I could sanitize the HTML or trim it, but I haven't had the need yet.

A question for solo founders:

What is the dumbest excuse you have ever given yourself for not shooting your products?

We will start: "I'll do it next month."

Reply with yours. No judgment.

Write? Write on the web? Have a website you control? Or not? You might want to join James’ writing Zoom tomorrow. Introvert? Camera off is fine.

✨At last, my blog, Komorebi Sunrise, is kind of operational!✨

I've just posted my May games summary if you're interested👇

There are other things you can explore too but don't be too harsh, it's the first time I code a website😅

(Let's see if this works🤞)
