Owning my Code Snippets
It's very convenient to be able to quickly share a link to a code snippet, which is something I've mostly done using gist.github.com. While often the code snippets are sort of throwaway, I still feel bad that I'm posting them in a place that I don't control.continue reading... -
Improved Blog Post Archives
I've been wanting to improve the layout of my blog post archive pages for some time. Previously, the page just listed out the full contents of the last 20 posts, and you could continue navigating back 20 posts at a time. I realize that some people like reading the full posts on the archive page, rather than having to click into each one, but it wasn't easy to just skim the post titles to get a sense of what was on the page.continue reading... -
Rich Link Previews for my Website on Facebook and Twitter
Ever since launching the new version of my website in 2016, I haven't had the special meta tags that Facebook, Twitter and Slack use for showing the nice preview of links shared. It's been annoying me a bit when I share a link to a blog post that they don't look good there.continue reading... -
My 2017 Year in Review
Curious what I was up to in 2017? So am I! Thankfully I developed a pretty regular habit of writing short blog posts any time I finished something, so I have a nice collection of posts to draw from for this year-in-review post!continue reading... -
Just pushed some updates to IndieNews! Notes like this one, (posts with no name) will now be displayed better, hopefully encouraging people to post more short stuff instead of just blog posts.
There is also a calendar view for posts, similar to the calendar on https://indieweb.org/2017-12-indieweb-challenge Thanks to @sknebel for the idea! I didn't link to the calendar permalinks from the UI yet, but you can browse to them with URLs like this: https://news.indieweb.org/en/2017/12
I also fixed an issue where the content and name of posts was not being truncated, which caused a minor IRC flood this morning due to a Microformats implied name containing an entire blog post being sent to IRC.

Automatically POSSEing Likes and Reposts
My #newwwyear goal this year was to make my likes and reposts automatically POSSE to Twitter when I favorite a Tweet URL.continue reading... -
My #newwwyear goal is to make my Micropub endpoint POSSE my likes and reposts to Twitter when I like a tweet URL.
Right now, Quill handles that for me, so when I "like" a tweet URL from my browser, it also gets liked on Twitter. Now that I'm using the Indigenous iOS app more, I'm missing that step so when I "like" a tweet from my phone, it doesn't actually like it on Twitter. Getting my Micropub endpoint to handle the forwarding to Twitter will solve it, and thankfully I can use https://silo.pub instead of dealing with the Twitter API. -
"Checked In By"
Swarm has had a feature for a long time where you can allow your friends to check you in. It's more than just tagging a friend in a checkin, since it actually creates a full-fledged checkin on the other person's account. It's an interesting feature of Swarm, and not something I've seen elsewhere.continue reading... -
"maybe we need to look at the whole package and create an… “indie web”?" https://kottke.org/17/12/zines-are-the-future-of-media #indieweb #zines
