@aaronpk @timmmmyboy Out of curiosity, what would define an app as an #Indieweb app?

@jimgroom @timmmmyboy an #indieweb app is one you can use to create content on your own website

  @jimgroom @aaronpk I'd say third party sites don't meet third qualifier: "You are in control". #indieweb actions but not app itself.

  @aaronpk @timmmmyboy Either way, definitions may not be important, but I imagine they'll materialize whether you resist them or not.

  @aaronpk @timmmmyboy I imagine if you're describing applications as #Indieweb then it's important, rather than an #indieweb as ethos.

  @jimgroom @timmmmyboy I suppose? But not if they store things in proprietary formats maybe? Anyway what... #indieweb aaron.pk/r4Ya1

  @aaronpk @timmmmyboy Sounds good, but it breaks down as definition. You can use host of 3rd party sites to create content for your own site.

  @aaronpk @timmmmyboy Forgive the polemics, but does that mean MS Frontpage and Dreamweaver are #Indieweb apps? They fit that definition.
