new digital garden is live :)
Inspired by @vhbelvadi's recent blog post on re-defining IndieWeb, I wrote about my current view.

As Jim Mitchell says, Indieweb is punk, and clearly I like spinning my own threads, but I do have a question: Since you still need to rent a domain name to get on the Web, isn’t there something more indie, like hosting your own server on a mesh network? Did I miss something?

My 31st post in August for Blugust is on the strange state of identity we are in, but something not wholly unknown to me.
Who is Who and Who is Real – Getting to Identity

Indie Web is definitely punk! https://indiewebispunk.net #indieweb
💧 FeedEcho v1.11 is out, and drip mode is the headline feature.
Ever add a feed that dumps 40 items at once and floods your timeline? Now you can set a max posts-per-hour on any echo. FeedEcho queues the overflow and releases items as the rolling 60-minute window opens, so your timeline stays calm and the posts still land.
How to use it: edit any echo, set "Max posts per hour" to a number (0 = off), save. Failed releases retry from the stored payload, so items that roll out of the feed are never lost.
🧰 FeedEcho 1.10 is out.
Echo templates are now real, sandboxed Jinja2 instead of my old regex placeholder hack. Conditionals, filters, and the full item dict are available, plus a live Preview button that renders your template against the feed's three most recent items before you save it.
No more guessing what a post will look like. Old templates keep working unchanged, and bad templates get rejected in the form instead of silently failing later.
For years, the rule was simple: feed the machine, or get buried. I got tired of letting a black-box algorithm decide if my work was worth seeing after 30 minutes, so I built a 5-platform direct distribution engine.

Got tired of letting a black-box algorithm decide if my work was worth seeing after 30 minutes, so I'm stepping off the hamster wheel to build a direct publication for creators.
