Part of me appreciates #balenaEtcher, but I've been using computers long enough to know that an Electron app for formatting SD cards will someday erase all files on my computer.
Often the IndieWeb is re-creating functionality from traditional media or the social spaces to our own sites. Who is going to innovate and turn the tide in the other direction?
Where is the avant guarde? Who is going to be the next Stan Brakhage, George Antheil, Luis BuƱuel, or Walter Murch of the web?
How can we push corporate social media back onto their heels?
I canāt wait for someone to create the next social media craze because itās something theyāre creatively posting on their own website as a media format that social silos donāt allow.
Who is experimenting with quirky multimedia posts on their websites? Whoās going to have the next meme generator/Tik Tok/SnapChat stories/inventive new functionality first? Iām imagining something in the vein of Martyās Kapowski, Aaronās emoji avatars, or Jeremyās Indy maps, but Iām sure we could go crazier and push the envelope even further.
Bonus points if itās done in the form of a micropub client! š
