A question I asked on Hyde’s under/over:
Before we find our own voice, we usually copy our mentors or heroes. Who was the teacher or model that inspired you when you started blogging, and how did following their example eventually help you find your own style?
And here’s software engineer Alex Hyett’s excellent answer.

Hey #indieweb reply with the page(s) you're most proud of from your personal site and if I think its awesome too I'll link it up either on my link blog or in the context where it fits in my pages about software, civics, local interest, and purpose.

Hot Take: Forcing yourself to be bored during mundane periods is stupid.
My attention focus isn't on social networks, but Mastodon is an exception. I recently realized that I can use toots as fastnote cards/drafts/stash, sometimes I can fast send the response for the toots from someone else.
And after, I'll dump and republish it to my personal blog, so that I have two copies of my thoughts.
I'm not famous, so I don't pay as much attention to likes num as idols do.
This is more similar to a #microblog . Of course, this does not refer to a specific platform the micro.blog.
I haven't used micro.blog yet, that's a good selections?
Before half years I'm tried self hosted the withKnown the #IndieWeb as micro blog, I've recently noticed that they seem to have updated ActivityPub support?

The web has been updated. A TURN server has been added to PeerJS, so shared cursors, drawing mode, and chat now work flawlessly on any device, regardless of the connection type. Only thing that to connect to the server is Reversi, and then I can focus on optimization.

I was inspired by @Gregorlove.com publishing watch posts, and a few others have also done so, documented on the IndieWeb wiki page for watch posts:
https://indieweb.org/watch
I like to use a leading emoji to indicate a watch post, and perhaps what specific kind of a watch post. After some iteration and reflection, these are the emoji that I have converged on for briefly expressing and distinguishing some watch posts:
🎦 movie in a cinema/theater
▶️ online video whether a brief YouTube clip, an Internet Archive upload of an #IndieWebCamp session, or a movie or show on a streaming service like Netflix.
In addition, I expect to use the following emoji for more specific watch posts:
🎞 analog film viewing, e.g. 70mm IMAX (like Chris Nolan’s The Odyssey)
📀 DVD/Laserdisc
📼 videocassette
📺 television, from over the air broadcast or cable like in a hotel room
In-person live performances:
🎫 concert or music festival
🎭 theater/play, perhaps stand-up comedy
🎟 other ticketed performances
This seems like a good start for both recent movies I’ve seen, and (likely) upcoming shows and events. I had a few thoughts for other possibilities and have added them to the Brainstorming section of that wiki page, where I expect the #indieweb community will iterate further.
Who else publishes watch posts and do you use any emoji to indicate what kind of thing you watched (or where)?

New blog post from me: How much is too much? Or what's the maximum a price should increase?
Prices always seem to increase, how much in total before you think it's too much. When you notice a price increase, do you take a step back and think that's too much of an increase?
Would love to hear your thoughts, if you spot any mistakes or inaccuracies, please let me know.

Over the years I and others have experimented with "watch" posts, short notes that express having seen a movie or TV show, sometimes with a link, and brief review or other commentary, like earlier today:

Abenteuer IndieWeb: Mit P5.js und Phoenix Code nach Neocities
Heute wollte ich gleich zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen: Ich wollte einmal wissen, wie gut der von mir neu entdeckte Editor #PhoenixCode mit #P5js, dem JavaScript-Ableger von Processing (Java), zusammenarbeitet. Und zum anderen wollte ich wissen, ob und wie sich P5.js mit #Neocities, dem freundlichen Hoster für meine Flucht ins #IndieWeb verträgt. Spoiler: Ich war beide Male erfolgreich. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026080102_p5js_phoenix_neocities/ #CreativeCoding
