IndieWeb

I've been interested in IndieWeb since I encountered the concept and owning your own data for a long time. My own site Brainsteam uses micropub and microsub and can receive webmentions. I use my own hand-rolled micropub endpoint in combination with the Hugo static site generation framework to manage my web content.

Making your site Indieweb compliant

I recently discovered IndieWebify.me which provides a bunch of tools for validating that your site is indie-web ready. I use Micropub.Rocks to ensure that my publication endpoint is up to par.

Micropub & Sub Clients

  • I use Together for reading my feeds and liking/reposting/replying on my desktop/in-browser
  • I use Indigenous for android when I'm out and about if I want to make a quick post

Who is on the IndieWeb?

  • 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.
