Tue 16th ๐Ÿ“† Homebrew Website Club Edinburgh with IndieWeb Edinburgh, Edinburgh events.indieweb.org
Update! Better homepage: vanzasetia.xyz Go check it out now! #BuildInPublic #SmallWeb #IndieWeb

Before I built websites, I played guitar.

Toured, opened for louder and luckier bands, got paid in beer and bruises. It was very fun though!

And open source, it turns out, is a lot like a musician playing a gig.

Thanks @ricmac for encouraging me to publish it.

Blogging with Pandoc

I am always on the lookout for ways to lower the barrier for people to not only start blogging, but also to help them retain ownership of their content and keep it evergreen. I spent some time this weekend with Pandoc to create a simple little blogging framework that I am calling Panblog.

๐Ÿ”– Bookmarked: re: Bloggers, can we make better titles for our posts? โ€“ An Almost Anonymous Blog https://lwgrs.bearblog.dev/re-bloggers-can-we-make-better-titles-for-our-posts/

Good pushback on the title advice: weekly recaps and the like are easy to skip, and a decent way to find new bloggers.

Fair point that vague titles like \"Recent Thoughts\" sink in a feed when nobody can tell what they're about.

New at my blog, a review of Merynthiaโ€™s Master, a Sword & Sorcery (Spice & Sorcery?) novella by Luana Saitta!

Sorcery-filled adventure in a vibrant city setting with appealing characters and a healthy streak of romance. Maybe a fitting read for Pride Month, too?

(As always, boosts are appreciated!)

How Iโ€™ll Take My Coffee



Simon at Firesphere.dev wrote a short post titled If you want to buy me a coffee in response to a hot take post on the IndieWeb against "Buy Me a Coffee" buttons on blogs or capitalism or something. But instead of joining the button debate, he stated what kind of cofee he would like for the benefit of anyone who may be out there looking to buy a coffee. I will join in talking about coffee instead of hot takes.

I prefer making my own coffee at home. You can see my set-up in an article I wrote [โ€ฆ]

๐Ÿ“ New Post: Create A Static Site Using 11ty & Deploy to Neocities (2026 Refresh)

A refresh of my most-read guide. Build a homepage with 11ty, ship it to Neocities, and keep GitHub out of it with Forgejo or Codeberg.

My indie search engine lets you add bookmarks which also helps to build the search engine at the same time.

This is not to say I agree with the approach they are taking. These platforms are also some of the biggest companies on the planet and have the resources to get their own houses in order (without giving modern slaves in the global south PTSD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND7owjmtPNo )

However, I need to find a positive somewhere and the #indieweb #SmallWeb is a good option.

A lot has been said lately about age-gating the internet, but important to remember it is only gating the worst parts of the internet.

You know what isnโ€™t age-gated? The #indieweb and the #SmallWeb or rss feeds.

If you have children, teach them some html, let them express themselves in a way that doesnโ€™t violate their privacy as part of its business model.

If you are an adult and are being asked to hand over your data anyway, there are plenty of other websites. Go show them some love instead.
