Last week, I published a post about building a minimal blogging platform with Pandoc.
This week, I updated the prototype with filtering, tagging, and automatic index generation.
I would love some feedback on the look and feel, navigation, and the filtering and tagging.

Could you see yourself using something like this as a blogging platform?
Minor site tweak and write-up, “Does the Internet Make My Type Look Small”
Great job to @iffybooks and @ragman in the radio interview with PhillyCAM, covering what the community has been doing to make their own websites, enjoy those handcrafted by others, and reimagine the internet with the joy of indie web!
Feature starts about 1 min in, until 7:30 min https://soundcloud.com/phillycam/bxb-5-27-2026
Tentando começar uma postagem semanal com uma seleção de achados e perdidos. Aqui vai o primeiro Eco.
Finally got around to putting opengraph tags into all the web pages on ferenbrooke.com – hopefully I didn't break anything with a typo lol.
This link should have a preview box: https://www.ferenbrooke.com/short-stories/fabric.html
Also changed the font in the header title to cursive. Properly productive indieweb weekend.
Folks in the indie web scene never fail to impress me. Such cool interesting people who have collectively rejected the modern "rules" of the internet and reset things back to a simpler time.
It's fascinating to see it extends offline as well, with people adopting a far simpler, more analogue life, simply to escape the big tech and AI dominated daily grind.
The #gowanus interview with #hasanminhaj is the best thing I've seen on the internet in a while.
It left me feeling encouraged in my efforts to divest from the surveillance state and help my communities do the same.
I deleted Facebook the other day after the beeswaxgate incident. I want a local/hyperlocal swap meet type of setup that does not involve Facebook Marketplace. I hate that the #buynothing communities are largely using Meta to operate. Anyone have ideas or success stories about how to create something like this that is manageable to operate without big tech?
I'm looking right now for a used laser printer. I know they're all over FBM for between $20-50. But how do I find one otherwise???

«It has been a long long time.»

Anyone ever curious about what I'm trying to express with my horror fiction or what inspires it?
I wrote a post about my most recent story, Fabric.
