@neatnik thanks for sharing! I overall agree with you but I think about this in a less binary way. HTML (as well as minimal HTTP server management) can be easier for some and harder for others, which means it can be a disincentive, rather than a blocker, to publishing your thoughts freely. Still, it is a great chance to learn new things (which not everyone might want to learnđ
). What I love about the #indieweb is that thereâs a variety of ideas to serve a whole spectrum of potential writers.

Flickrâs mobile apps have become a mess; its messaging is one too
For years, Flickr has been the site of choice for people who love photography and hate drastic platform changes. Since SmugMugâs 2018 rescue of that property from Yahooâs erratic stewardship, the user experience at Flickr has become pleasingly boring compared to Instagram, with no radical feature shifts dictated by corporate overlords irate over the rise of Snapchat and TikTok.
But recently, somebody in Flickr HQ decided it was time to shake up Flickrâs Android and iOS/iPadOS appsâand then apparently hired developers who had never used Flickr. Because how else could you ship a photo-sharing app stripped of photo-editing features?
I promptly sent in a complaint about the erasure of editing tools and got a reply less than two hours later assuring me that âour team is working to add it back in a future update.â
But that was only the start of problems with this new release.
The copy on my own phone had also had its automatic photo upload shut off. When I switched âAuto-Uploadrâ back on, it busied itself with backing up every image available on my deviceâwith no setting to limit uploads to my camera roll.
The new apps were worse even for viewing other peopleâs photos: Turning your phone sideways no longer displayed the image in landscape mode. Redditâs r/flickr forum lit up with complaints from people discovering these and other problems with this downgrade of an upgrade.
About a month ago, Flickr clicked the app-store equivalent of a ârevertâ button and replaced the new apps with previous versionsâfirst on iOS, then a few days later on Android. My iPad miniâs copy of Flickr got reversed automatically through an App Store update, while on my Pixel 9 Pro I had to uninstall the current app and then install it anew (except not, you know, ânewâ) from the Play Store.
I sent a query to Flickrâs PR agency MWW, identifying myself both as a journalist and as a longtime Flickr Pro subscriber, and asked what was going on. Grace Goddard, an account executive there, sent a statement confirming the u-turn and suggesting more measured updates.
âBased on feedback from the community, Flickr made the decision to roll back the recent updates while working to restore and improve the experience across both platforms,â the statement read in part. âWhile Flickr doesnât have a public roadmap for the mobile apps to share at this time, the team plans to continue making iterative, user-tested changes to the app experience going forward.â
That is far more than what Flickr has said on its own public channels. The latest post on its blog, published Wednesday, only has a casual mention of âa few small design updates here and there on the desk top view and in the iOS app that youâll start seeing.â
Flickrâs Threads account has no posts about the app imbroglio, its X account has been silent since July of 2024, itâs yet to set up shop on Bluesky at all, and the only Flickr-app news Iâve seen on its subreddit has come from other Redditors even through a verified Flickr employee is one of that forumâs moderators.
(As much as I can whine about annoying behavior by PR people, this episode shows how a company can benefit from following the advice of comms professionals.)
Iâm not looking for a lot out of Flickr, by far the oldest social-media platform I still use. I donât need it to add AI tools to edit or create images (although this site does desperately need to modernize its account-security options). Its sharing features could use some polish, but overall its groups function fine for presenting pictures to people with shared interests (like, say, the D.C. areaâs built environment).
Flickr already does one thing very well: By supporting Creative Commons licenses, It lets photographers require payment for commercial applications of their workâwhich has generated a little extra income for me a few timesâbut allow free non-commercial reuse.
To steal a phrase from my friend Jeff Carlson, I just want âa high-quality anti-Instagram.â Except Jeff decided he wasnât using Flickr enough to justify the (rising) cost of a Pro subscription and instead switched to Glass, a newer and more design-focused platform. I would rather not make such a drastic platform change myself, but it would help if Flickrâs management could show a little more focus.

"Popular IndieWeb bloggers have been talking about "Hardcore IndieWeb" recently. The idea is doing everything yourself: building a site with pure HTML and CSS using a text editor on your laptop and hosting it... from any cheap web host, or even from a cupboard at home.
Nothing wrong with that if you have the time and the patience, or if you need complete control over everything on your site, but I'd argue against doing this in the general case."

aww I've recently been interviewed for an article for the magazine SuperInteressante.
The article is live (and locals can get the physical print) and I'm quite chuffed. It is, of course, about the IndieWeb đ
And it happened just after I said that I would like to spread the word in Portuguese.

I also added a whole new page: Books I've read
