An IndieWeb Magazine on Flipboard

This morning I set up an IndieWeb Magazine on Flipboard. While it is “yet another silo”, it’s one that I can easily and automatically syndicate content from my site (and others) into. I’ve already seeded it with some recent posts for those who’d like to start reading.

Until more tools and platforms like micro.blog exist to make it easy for other Generation 2+ people to join the IndieWeb, I thought it made at least some sense to have some additional outreach locations to let them know about what the community is doing in a silo that they may be using.

While I’ll syndicate articles of a general and how-to nature there, I’m likely to stay away from posting anything too developer-centric.

If you’d like to contribute to the magazine there are methods for syndicating content into it via POSSE, which I’d recommend if you’re able to do so. Otherwise they have some useful bookmarklets, browser extensions, and other manual methods that you can use to add articles to the magazine. Click this link to join as a contributor. For additional information see also Flipboard Tools.

    Might just be me, but I could not find any means of POSSEing to Flipboard in the documentation?

    1. They don’t make it either easy or trivial. For WordPress, the easiest thing may be to use Social Network Auto Poster that has a custom API set up for syndication to Flipboard. Otherwise using Flipboard’s bookmarklet or browser extension may be the simplest method.
