Today I finally buckled down and worked on updating the Omnibear browser extension. I picked up where Keith left off on retooling. My changes broke more things than I fixed but I’m sharing publicly to give myself some accountability. Hopefully I’ll be able to share an update from a working...

I’ve noticed a few people recently refer to their top-level pages as “slash pages”. Honestly my first reaction was “Aren’t those just ‘pages’?”, but I’ve come to find the term kinda fun. But when people started adding a /slashes slash page, I thought “Isn’t that a sitemap”? XML sitemaps are...

Reciamente, he notado algunas personas se refieren a sus páginas de nivel superior como “slash pages” (páginas barra). Honestamente, mi primera reacción fue «¿No son esas simplemente ‹páginas›?», pero he llegado a encontrar el término un poco divertido. Pero, cuando la gente empezó a añadir una página barra /slashes, pensé...

Maintaining projects is hard. I’d love to see the great work Keith had done continue but know I could use help getting things working again. I’m hoping to dig into the code base soon to get a better idea of where things are at. If others want to reach out...

For displaying webmentions on a static site, I went with using webmention.io as my webmention endpoint and fetching responses in the browser using https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js To send webmentions, I have an automatic process in my Netlify build to check my feed and send mentions, but you could also use https://webmention.app/ to...

I use https://fed.brid.gy/ and webmentions to allow people to follow me from the fediverse. To send webmentions I use a netlify build plugin but you could use something like https://webmention.app/

I also feel some of the tension you describe Jacky. I don’t see the IndieWeb taking over the internet soon. There are still to many barriers to onboarding and the tools aren’t quite polished enough to provide a top tier user experience. I’m honestly not convinced it will ever be...

I think Tracey makes some great points here and I’m particularly interested in how to get feedback from readers. I invited a friend of mine to a recent IndieWeb event and they asked the question “what if I’m not interested in posting anything?”. Part of what drew me into posting...

Tracy’s site is great and has so much good content. It’s cool to hear how it’s changed over the years.

I hope it goes better this time! I can recommend hopping into chat for humans who can help explain things. You can also try out the experimental forum someone recently set up. If there are parts of the wiki you think should be improved, feedback is welcome.

A search engine that only checks posts from specific people and sites you follow. Specifically for recipes, reviews/recommendations. There’s a lot of SEO crap out there. This would hinge on people and brands building enough trust that people opt-in to them rather than building enough SEO juice to get to...

Agreed! It was great to catch up with everyone!

Was great to meet everyone at IndieWebCamp San Diego this weekend! Had some productive conversations and learned a lot about what other people are doing. I hope we can meet again soon.

Receiving webmentions was easy to set up with webmention.io and webmention.js. For a static site, sending webmentions is a little messier, but there is a netlify plugin that I’ve found helpful. Always room for improvement though.

Webmentions have been great to work with on my site. I haven’t had much success with microsub at this point though. The Indiepass app looks really nice and has been great for posting. But my indieauth login seemed to have issues logging into the couple microsub apps I tried so...

That’s creative! Don’t forget to set the comment text color on dark mode to. 😉

@Alanmoo, what concerns do you have? There should be options regardless of your framework. For receiving webmentions, webmention.io should be pretty flexible. I’m using webmention.js to display those mentions but mainly because I’m lazy. For sending, I use a modified netlify build plugin. I am thinking about some improvements to...

I also have a static site and one thing I’ve been considering is having a Micropub server to handle the interactive parts. The API is a little restrictive but it’s simpler than having a fully dynamic site. Indiekit is a cool project that hooks into a static site repo. It...

I know there’s an open issue to add documentation but if it’s helpful you can look at the relevant commits on my site. The piece missing from the docs is adding a link with a class of “u-url” and an href with your username in the format acct:anthony@ciccarello.me to your...

Today I finally enabled displaying of webmentions thanks to webmention.io. I only support rendering mentions client side for now but I hope to eventually add rendering and sending to the site’s build process.

I’ve added a new type of post to my site. This should open a whole world of possibilities integrating with indieweb.org standards!
