I was just on a Zoom call that ended automagically after 40 minutes because the organizer was on a free tier. This is the single greatest advance to meeting productivity that I’ve ever seen. Would pay extra for this feature.

Tom MacWright (oldfashioned.tech)This is a website that I made about cocktails. I'm not a huge cocktail nerd (drinking is bad, probably), but think that they're cool. And the world's pretty bad right now and making this has been calming.
It gave me a chance to both tinker with technology I usually don't use (Elm), and explore some of the cool properties of cocktails: notably that they're pretty similar and have standardized ingredients, so they can be described in relationship to each other.
So some of it might seem funky. By default, the list is sorted by 'feasibility': as you add ingredients that you have, it'll put recipes that you can make (or barely make) closer to the top. Also, click on 'Grid' for a wacky adjacency grid of cocktails and their ingredients.
Also, for vim fans, there’s j & k support.
IndieWeb for trying times!
hat tip:
compulsively made a thing because my anxiety level is ‘pinned to the fucking roof’, here it is, it’s a cocktail recipe browser built in elm that can do things like show similar recipes and stuff https://t.co/RDjJ0V3aEH pic.twitter.com/GiRIx4huiK

“The sky’s the limit when it comes to ____________, but don’t be tempted by spendy upgrades when you’re just starting out“ is pretty good advice in general when trying something new.https://t.co/LE8nG0jddW

This is also true of IndieWeb, but the cost right now is one’s time more than it is financial cost.
Every time I hear someone say, "We are a nation of immigrants," as Biden did, I'm hearing someone erase the history of indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans. #DemDebate

I would like to add webmention to my blog. And I am testing it out now! Why you should own your content? Because we have full control of our appearance and interaction with people on the internet: No more losing content due to closing of websites No more privacy issues, no more hidden tracking Cause...

A lot of work for a $3 business card, but this is pretty cool!
I want to tip my hat to @ChrisAldrich for having an utter inspiration of a personal website. There's a lot there I want to copy--uhhh, be inspired by.

David Shanske (david.shanske.com)I’ve been working on the Post Kinds plugin for several years now. It allows the enhancement of WordPress posts into the Indieweb types of posts. But in the current environment, the question I keep getting asked is: When will it support Gutenberg, the WordPress block editor? This is something of a ...
I’m thinking about this. Will try some diagrams first…
Jeremy Cherfas (jeremycherfas.net)It is 160 days since I first noted that I would like to make use of Bise, Jason McIntosh's blog-readership reporter, 118 since I automated downloading the access logs. With half an eye on the project day at IndieWebCamp Austin, time to make good on my promise. Bise expects its log files to be named ...
The Indie Web movement is so essential that -- as you'd expect -- it gets a millionth of the support it deserves. https://t.co/JOn2d3GKRy

gRegor Morrill (gregorlove.com)What a small indieweb. I'm in Austin for IndieWebCamp and another attendee, Brian, is from San Diego and lives in my neighborhood. Another person for the SD meetups! Edit: fixed name and URL, oops!
Should I do an events page on my website and if so, what plug-in thingy would be a good way to do it? I'm on #Wordpress. @pwaring @hflf

Using the Webmention and the Semantic Linkbacks plugins you can post events to your WordPress site and others can RSVP from their sites to notify you. Here’s an example of it working on my site: https://boffosocko.com/2017/11/30/virtual-homebrew-website-club-meetup-on-december-13-2017/#comments

Malcolm Blaney (mblaney.xyz)wow it's interesting that reposting on twitter and facebook is totally normal, but do that on your own site and you're a content farmer.
Cédric Bousmanne (Cedric.io)This post has been heavily inspired by Chris Aldrich's recent post Using IFTTT to syndicate (PESOS) content from social services to WordPress using Micropub and finally finds an answer to the frustration I had ever since I realised it was not that easy to post bookmark on my Known-based...
Maybe I ought to be reading Reddit more often now? Good to see this method spreading!
