Then any silo service (Soundcloud, Goodreads, Flickr, etc.) with such feeds could be used to syndicate all of one's content to their own personal website with reasonable…

IndieWeb Committment for New Year’s Eve 2021

The annual page for IndieWeb New Year's Commitments is up. I always have trouble with coming up with something new and interesting to work on. (There are really so many things, to be honest, and so many that I ought to do, but which seem so droll... What might be fun!?!) I was recently enamored…

Non-technical IndieWeb: Fun, Creativity, Community, and “Content”

I wish the indieweb had more content that wasn't about the indieweb — simulacrum party (@simulacrumparty) December 19, 2020 The hard part of making cool websites isn't the tech, it's the content!
