Managed to complete the dance of creating an event and rsvp'ing through #Indigenous, then displaying attendees on the #Drupal side. #indieweb

Wow. I guess it’s time we all stopped using @eventbrite. They claim the right to attend your event, film it, and own the copyright. https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/eventbrite-merchant-agreement?lg=en_US#8

Pro tip: If you're a slimebag who uses black hat SEO to get prime ranking on Google, don't get wasted and blab about how you use black hat SEO *and* show the queries *and* your website to some random person at a bar who used to work at Google and knows half the webspam team. :-)

Cancelling Requests with Abortable Fetch

April 20th, 2018

This is a really good use-case for cancelling fetch requests: making API calls while autocompleting in search.

People have the power to take our attention back from social networks. Alternatives to #deleteFacebook are emerging... @aaronpk built his own #IndieWeb reader so he, not some algorithm, decides what content to read. http://bit.ly/2HPeqyA

I'm excited to join the team at @oktadev https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/04/20/hello-okta-dave

@aaronpk I start at 3 to 4 minutes and edit down to zero.

@sadlerjw I tried to add a little clarification to defining the IndieWeb: https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb - I'd welcome your thoughts on it, and on how the definition it could be made simpler to understand.

Progressive web apps in the app switcher on iOS.

This is why I use @ExistApp - to learn important things like the fact that nachos make me happy.

Fond memories of the @indiewebcamp Nuremberg two years ago today! Let's repeat this @t @adactio @webrocker @martijnvdven @HeNeArXn @calum_ryan @Sebsel @sebastiangreger @iwontsignuphere and all the others (I know @aaronpk will be here for sure)! 👉 https://indieweb.org/2018/Nuremberg

You may have noticed discontent amongst some Micro.blog users, in reaction to the latest iOS app addition, Wavelength, to the Micro.blog ecosystem.

The “argument” goes that 3 iOS apps and 1 Mac app later with no love for Windows, Linux or most glaringly Android is a sure sign that the network is doomed (or something else equally as dramatic). Then the knives started coming out, calling the apps suboptimal, which I feel to be insensitive and insulting. Manton’s actually handling this pretty gracefully, which is exactly the attitude I believe is necessary to shepherd the nerds without upsetting them.

I think it’s important for everyone to maintain some perspective. The Kickstarter ended a little over a year ago (back on the 1st of February). The actual service didn’t start opening up to register for a few months after that. This service has only been live for around a year. Lets review what’s happened in that time:

No. Project/Update Date 1. Micro.blog released1 29 April 2017 2. Jean MacDonald announced as Community Manager 21 March 2017 3. Micro.blog iOS app goes Universal 21 June 2017 4. Updated Markdown Support for Web 14 August 2017 5. Custom Web pages 25 August 2017 6. Overhaul of Web posting/editing 22 September 2017 7. Mac App released 17 November 2017 8. Micro.blog opens up past Kickstarter 19 December 2017 9. Sunlit iOS app 07 March 2018 10. Multiple Accounts 26 March 2018 11. Wavelength iOS app 12 April 2018

Clearly the guy is a complete slacker. Clearly.

I can understand people being ‘upset’ about not having an Android app, but my view is this, if there is enough request then it will make business sense to officially support this platform. However, give the man some time to get there!

I would like Manton’s to spend time and complete the book. The reason for this is so that he can close last year’s Kickstarter and look to having another Kickstarter to maybe bring someone else to help him full-time with the development cycles.

1. I received my invite on this date. It was only 6-8 months later that I actually started using Micro.blog in any meaningful way. ↩
