Finally found time to update my #beloveduniverse website! Going more decentralized: you can now log in with #IndieAuth. You ca register with your own site, or sign in with a URL right from the main page and link to a pre-existing account. Plus, Maid Adventures is now federated! Major in-game events get shared to the fediverse via #ActivityPub. Example @luckyfoot. Each estate gets their own. You can also follow on bluesky @maidadventures.bsky.social #fediverse

Damn this looks sick.
Probably I'll have only one theme, or maybe more themes not controled by time of day.

What happens to our blogs when we die?
Does anyone want to read my dumb blog after I'm dead? Hell if I know, but I want to give my family the opportunity.

I was on a flight last month, phone in airplane mode, and still wanted to know which city we were over.
Most apps go blank up there.
SkyLocation does not.
It uses the GPS your iPhone already has at altitude — offline, private, no account watching you.
Built it because flight maps should work when you actually fly.

Last year I gave a talk at MKGN about my personal reflection on how, after years of chasing IndieWeb perfection, I just accepted my imperfect online third-space and how it is now space for genuine connection.
Some bits you may be familiar with, but hey, that's talks for you.

The markdown editor now looks like it belongs to the rest.
paperboat.website is slightly inspired by UIs of the early 2010s :) Some gradients and shadows but not too aggressive.
The whole UI also reflects the color scheme of the site you're on.

Weird incident yesterday with self-proclaimed “AIs” joining an IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club meetup. They awkwardly edited the Etherpad, and apparently blanked/deleted chunks of content.
The meeting hosts reacted quickly to change Etherpad and Zooms and not re-admit the aliases that had claimed to be “AIs”.
Now we have an “AI policy” page on the wiki where we are documenting examples of the AI policies of:
* individual personal websites
* community efforts like blogging challenges (e.g. Blaugust)
* contributions to the IndieWeb wiki
* participants in IndieWeb meetups
https://indieweb.org/AI_policy
Do you have an AI policy on your website? Add yourself to the IndieWeb Examples section.
Does your community have an AI policy? Add it to the Community Examples section.
Incident documentation of what happened at that particular meetup:

Weird incident yesterday with self-proclaimed “AIs” joining an IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club meetup. They awkwardly edited the Etherpad, and apparently blanked/deleted chunks of content.
The meeting hosts reacted quickly to change Etherpad and Zooms and not re-admit the aliases that had claimed to be “AIs”.
Now we have an “AI policy” page on the wiki where we are documenting examples of the AI policies of:
* individual personal websites
* community efforts like blogging challenges (e.g. Blaugust)
* contributions to the IndieWeb wiki
* participants in IndieWeb meetups
https://indieweb.org/AI_policy
Do you have an AI policy on your website? Add yourself to the IndieWeb Examples section.
Does your community have an AI policy? Add it to the Community Examples section.
