# IndieWeb

I've been interested in [IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org/) since I encountered the concept and owning your own data for a long time. My own site [Brainsteam](https://brainsteam.co.uk) uses [micropub](https://micropub.spec.indieweb.org/) and [microsub](https://indieweb.org/Microsub-spec) and can receive [webmentions](https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/). I use [my own hand-rolled micropub endpoint](https://wiki.jamesravey.me/books/microcosm/page/intro-to-microcosm "Intro to Microcosm") in combination with the [Hugo static site generation framework ](https://gohugo.io/)to manage my web content.

### Making your site Indieweb compliant  


I recently discovered [IndieWebify.me](https://indiewebify.me/) which provides a bunch of tools for validating that your site is indie-web ready. I use [Micropub.Rocks ](https://micropub.rocks/)to ensure that my publication endpoint is up to par.

### Micropub & Sub Clients

- I use [Together](https://alltogethernow.io/) for reading my feeds and liking/reposting/replying on my desktop/in-browser
- I use [Indigenous for android ](https://indigenous.marksuth.dev/)when I'm out and about if I want to make a quick post

### Who is on the IndieWeb?

- [ooh.directory](https://ooh.directory/) has a fantastic list of blogs that subscribe partially or wholly to indieweb concepts across a large number of subject matters!

### OpenGraph

- OpenGraph is a stnadard for sharing metadata about web content across different sites, popularised by Twitter.
- In order to test whether your opengraph metadata is rendering correctly you can use this site: [https://www.opengraph.xyz/](https://www.opengraph.xyz/)
