@writingslowly Not totally sure whether this is what you are looking for. Somehow, reading your post, I had to think of the Compu-Global Hyper Mega Net by @CursedSilicon. Check it out at http://cghmn.cursedsilicon.net/.

The indieweb is punk
You don't need a deal with a label. You don't need a platform's blessing. All you need is an out of tune guitar you can barely play, or a free text editor and a hosting bill. That's it. That's the whole scene. Indiewebispunk

I’m OBSESSED (again) with beholding.space! It’s a place to share links to websites you discover and are inspired by each week, and then find other resources that are ideologically aligned. It curates connections based on ideas rather than engagement or being a "follower".

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?

💧 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.
