Yesterday, I published a post titled There’s no membership card for IndieWeb and got a reply from @khleedril .
I wanted to clarify some things where we completely agree.

shotlist 0.5.0 is out.
New: dialog: accept / dialog: dismiss, for alert/confirm/prompt. Nothing listened before, so a confirm() click silently went down the cancel branch and the shot never changed.
New: teardown: — cleanup steps that run once the shot is taken, even after a failed one.
Fixed: session files were saving every cookie a sign-in collected, not just the target site's.

Is it just me, or are most of the #indieweb standards unbelievably convoluted? It seems you want simple ways to connect websites. This is so overcomplicated, and unbecoming of personal websites.
Made a simple little flag guessing game for my kid 🌍🚩
Nothing fancy — just a fun way to learn and recognize flags from around the world.

Ended up with this in my reading list today - https://osteophage.neocities.org/essays/indie-web-priorities - and felt like leaving this here mainly quoting its conclusion as this very much resonates with some of my worries, with my perception of technology and accessibility and making tools available to human beings at large, out there: "... If it [the indieweb] is not for someone whose every dollar is already being sucked up by survival, then it’s not for everyone. If it’s not for the hungry and the homeless then it’s not for everyone. If it’s not for the refugee and the runaway then it’s not for everyone. If it depends on having cash to spare on renting a custom domain name then it’s not for everyone. People in these demographics do use the internet, and they deserve better than to be ground up for a predatory machine, which is why we need more options that are easy and free and independent from venture capital and corporate giants. ..." https://osteophage.neocities.org/essays/indie-web-priorities #indieweb #social_technology #linkdump

My Terminal Life
I did not plan for my life to be built around the terminal and plain text workflows. However, as I looked for simple solutions that allowed me to own my data and processes, it became a natural evolution.

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?
#IndieWeb #Blogging
A blog is a zine with better uptime. An RSS feed is a mailing list that never asks for your email. Webmentions are show flyers stapled to telephone poles all over town, pointing back to each other, building the scene a link at a time.
