So many names for roughly the same thing. Interesting how people seem to want to turn these ideas into “religion” instead of just doing them…
David Shanske (david.shanske.com)A new version of Simple Location is out. Version 4.1.12 has many under the hood tweaks/fixes, and only one major user facing feature, a redo of the caching system. The caching system is used by the weather system to avoid poling for the weather on every refresh. There is now a setting in each widget...

Amanda (arush.io)OK #WordPress #a11y and #Indieweb, I have an official announcement.
John @whiskeydragon1 and I are getting married on June 19 2021.
There’ll be something virtual for those who can’t make it, and we’re still trying to figure out accessible wedding invitations because there is no way I am having a wedding that some of my friends can’t participate in.
We’re in the initial stages of planning, so we don’t have every detail worked out yet. But I am so happy and excited.
Best wishes Amanda! That’s great news!
Maya (maya.land)One thing I wonder about is what the various goals of structured book review content can be. The classic example would be a citation, to make it precisely clear whence one’s quotes originate and whither to search for context. The second obvious example would be a product review; “should you buy ...
you can do something really cool called webmentions where your tweets will basically ping back to your website so you can have all your content forever. i would never do that bc most of my twitter is shitposts but i would love to see if there's something similar for instagram

Brid.gy can handle that for you.
I spent the last 2 days in a whirlwind trip driving down to Durham, North Carolina to meet up with a motley crew of web developers and talk all things web components at HAX Camp [https://hax.camp]. I came away with my mind reeling and trying to stay above water on all the interesting stuff I was seeing and hearing in hopes of taking something tangible away. But let me back up for a second and explain why I would end up at an event like that, much less why Reclaim Hosting would be interested in s
I still need to spend some time digging into HAX.
Reminder: this month’s A Domain of One’s Own Meetup is just around the corner.

Stop by and show us what you’ve been creating or ask questions. How are you using your domain?
It is the first release in 3 years and has a large number of bug fixes. It also is the first version that includes support for new types of feeds as described by the IndieWebCamp community. These feeds are made up of h-feed and h-entry microformats, which allows the feed to be parsed from the html rather than a separate xml file. SimplePie will now detect when it finds such a feed and parse them when it finds the php-mf2 parser available.
Wow! Look at the movement on this finally! Way to stick with it David Shanske!
Ik bedacht me zojuist dat er nóg een fijne bijkomstigheid is nu ik mijn OPEN nieuwsbrief op mijn eigen site publiceer en verstuur als nieuwsbrief. Ik gebruik webmentions op mijn site, een gratis plugin voor WordPress en open protocol wat weinig stuk maakt. Elke keer als ik een nieuwsbrief verstuur,...
I'd also like to find a way to say thank you to Aaron Parecki who built webmention.io and Ryan Barrett, Kyle Mahan, et al who built brid.gy. However, I can't see a way to do either and, indeed, the latter explicitly say "We don't need donations, promise." ❧
In the past, I’ve heard many of them say to make a donation or support the IndieWeb Open Collective instead.
Using Actionsflow to automate the sending of Webmentions using webmention.app
This is an interesting way for static sites to automatically send webmentions using RSS.
Perhaps it’s something I might use in conjunction with my work with TiddlyWiki, MediaWiki, or my Obsidian.md notebook projects.
Monica Powell (aboutmonica.com)This past week I had the pleasure of being on the Learn with Jason Show to show how to add Webmention functionality to a NextJS website. Webmentions let you pull tweets, other blogs, and other activity from around the web into your site? It was fun live pair programming the implementation of webmentions. Check out the video or read some of the highlights below!
Thanks for writing this up and bundling it with the video Monica! I can’t wait to see how you puzzle out sending Webmentions automatically as well.
Monica notes that they had issues with an .app TLD, which sounds a bit like Max’s previous issue with the .dev TLD. Any chance this is the case Ryan?
