How do you know that the IndieWeb has arrived?
Neologisms like “indiewebspiration”.
Sia Karamalegos (Twitter)I also try to do "No Screen Sundays" where I do anything not related to screens (exception for calling and texting especially if it's to meet with friends).

Some interesting references here. I wonder if anyone called them?
Personal news: I'm excited to announce that, starting in February, I will be in residence at the Santa Fe Institute for one year, as the inaugural Davis Professor of Complexity. I'm thrilled for this opportunity to work more closely with all the brilliant people at @sfiscience. pic.twitter.com/sjQ0QxiZGB

Matt Maldre (Twitter)I love love love Instapaper. I should pay for premium. But I don’t like that all my highlights and notes get locked up in their proprietary system.

Right now, I save all my Instapaper articles to PDF and make my highlights/marginalia in the PDF. I get to keep it.

I’m quite touched that Aram includes me in such a list.
Henrique Dias (Henrique Dias (@hacdias))Just published two minimal packages to help building micropub applications!
The first one is called micropub-parser and it's basically a port from @aaronpk's pk3-micropub package to JavaScript.
The second one is a small IndieAuth middleware that can be easily plugged into an Express.js app!
Mr. Peanut (Twitter)Silent nut. Holy nut.

This is sort of hilarious.
Ryan Barrett (snarfed.org)I’ve spent most of my time in the IndieWeb on backfeed: sending interactions from social networks back to your web site. Bridgy, the service we built, has served that need wel...
I’ve obviously read this before, but somehow I’ve now got some new respect for the basis of the broader underlying idea.
Amanda (Twitter)I used to, every year, name a Blogger of the Year.
— Dave (@davewiner) December 21, 2019
I wanted to keep the idea alive, that amateur writing has a place on the web.
The last couple of years my focus has been elsewhere, even though in 2017, I took a fresh approach to my own blog, with imho excellent results.I don't have a choice for this year.
— Dave (@davewiner) December 21, 2019
If you have a favorite blogger, perhaps a blog that goes with a favorite podcast, please add a link to this thread.
Here's to another great year in 2020, and remember it's even worse than it appears. ;-)https://t.co/xTqU4jQYEoAnybody participating in the #IndieWeb my favorites include Chris Aldrich at https://t.co/aXPjOBmFXn but there are tons more.

What a fantastic vote of confidence! I’ll take it.
David Shanske (david.shanske.com)Released some minor bugfix editions today.
Simple Location
- Rounds all numbers to a maximum of two decimal points, as I introduced a bug in the last version that would fail to fill in numbers in the post editor due form validation requirements.
- Extracts additional location information from Compass…mostly the information I store when I’m on a plane, to generate a better description of the location. It also passes this info to WordPress more effectively so it could do more in future.
- I also introduced a new location provider. If set, if you enter a 3 letter airport code in the location name box, it will replace it with the location and name of that airport, as well as the weather. In future, I may add a similar reverse address lookup for people.
- Misc bug fixes
Syndication Links
- Some bug fixes introduced in 4.2.0
- Due to the request to allow syndication provider checkboxes to be checked by default, I introduced two new filters: syndication_link_checked and syndication_link_disabled. The first parameter of each is a boolean that if true, will set either checked or disabled on that Syndication Provider. The second and third parameter is the uid of the provider and the post_id of the post.
Hooray!
YOU KNOW SHIT IS GOING DOWN WHEN @NYTIMES RUNS ALL CAPS HEADLINES
An interesting way to track only the BIGGEST NEWS.
Steve Layton (shindakun.dev)As part of getting back into using micro.blog I’ve been working to customize my hosted site. One of the things I wanted to do was add webmentions rather then comments like Disqus.
