So in the bot cull discourse on birdsite right now @darius mentioned making your social network support rss feeds and like.. if I could follow rss feeds on Mastodon the same way I follow individual users that would be pretty huge for me. Or like have a separate column that just displays rss updates.
I’ve been really enjoying the focus on personal websites that Vi Hart and M Eifler aka blinkpopshift have been putting into their recent Patrons-only VIM LIVE streams.
In addition to some great discussion about subscribing to RSS feeds of personal sites, I have really enjoyed the homework-slash-games like “post something on your website” and “collect what you might have tweeted into a blog”.
I think there’s a lot that the IndieWeb can learn from discussions like these as folks from different backgrounds are (re-)discovering what the web can be.
You can find previous and future VIM LIVE streams by supporting blinkpopshift or Vi Hart on Patreon.
I just read the GitPub 0.1 draft, which was the only actual text I could find. I feel I'd prefer if everything it does were instead via some lightweight microformat annotations in the HTML that all these web-based repository browsers are producing anyway, plus WebMention for signaling between sites. A good start would be @joeyh's https://joeyh.name/rfc/rel-vcs/ spec…
