@WeirdWriter I definitely relate to a lot that was said in that article.

I initially 'fell for' the #indieWeb as well because I love structured semantic data and hypertext.
Until it was apparent that all of the things they promise and offer ... are either:

  • better done with other tools (h-feed -> RSS, h-card -> address element, webmentions -> e-mail etc.)
  • a neat idea that goes nowhere because nothing implements any functionality for it (#microformats)
  • or corporate cryptobro web3 nonsense (integrations, SEO etc.)

And the community was super weird, it was seemingly just the "thought leader on LinkedIn" kind of crowd instead of the chaotic queer hackers I was used to interacting with in the #WebRevival movement

"became", LOL. It always was. Everybody can join me in the "I implemented microformats, webmentions et al. in 2019 and never received a single webmention" club. ๐Ÿ˜€

The internet and social media has gotten so bad that we're going back to geocities style sites โ€‹:okarun:โ€‹โ€‹:okarun:โ€‹โ€‹:okarun:โ€‹ #indieweb #nekoweb #socialmedia

They train their models on our words. Itโ€™s time to change the language. Craftlingua.app is the superpower no one thought ofโ€”a cultural firewall against Ai. #ai #noai #dataprivacy #DataSovereignty #Detech #Indieweb #Cyberpunk #Indydev #solodev #Language #linguist #languagearts #conlang #dnd

./blog.sh 1.2.1 is out.

A phone records where you were standing in every photo it takes. Social networks strip that on upload; a static site has nobody to do it. Now the engine does, on the way into the archive โ€” and the doctor will clean the ones you saved before.

The bio, the footer, and the banner's claim are now Markdown. They were the only texts on a Markdown blog that had to be HTML.

I've completely overhauled my IndieWeb 11ty Starter to make it simpler and more accessible for people getting into JAMstack and the IndieWeb. It now uses Eleventy 3.x with a modular config structure, chota.css instead of Tailwind, and Pagefind for fast, serverless search.

I am happy with how this CSS style looks.
I am unhappy with how it performs on mobile devices.

But it looks good somewhere.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Kageboard v0.2.0 is out.

Kageboard is a web dashboard for Kage, an offline website-mirroring tool. New in this release:

- Refresh mirrors in place to pull in changed content, with live progress
- Scheduled auto-refresh: set a mirror to update daily or weekly and forget about it
- Advanced clone options: scope the crawl to a path, exclude sections, keep media/PDFs, mobile-friendly rendering
- Pack mirrors into ZIM archives or single-file executable viewers, and download them right from the UI

It's finally working somehow...almost. Hopefully it will fix itself over time.

Also the URL is now assets.wencesbyte.net
