I didn't want to post on Instagram until I had this problem solved. I need my Instagram posts to be copied to my blog so i have a controlled copy of my content. The service I used got blocked by Instagram so I had to write my own. So now I'm good again. Remember, we're in a borrowed platform and we don't control if our data gets deleted or removed. #indieweb #micropub #pesos #nerd #webdev #python #Developer #webdeveloper #geek #programmerlife #programmer #dev #code #coderlife #coder

If you've noticed https://OwnYourGram.com has been not working well lately, that's because Instagram is aggressively rate limiting certain requests.
I just updated it so that you can give it the URL of an individual photo and it will import it for you. Importing individual photos avoids a lot of the rate limiting issues so should work a lot better now.
If you've been missing some of your latest photos, feel free to log in and manually import them now! -
Platforms kill ownership. Post everything, and I mean everything, to your own websites. Link from platforms, sure, but don’t cede your control to the social giants. They don’t care about you. #IndieWeb

Syndicating My Tips to Foursquare
I realized I have been avoiding leaving tips in Foursquare because I didn't have a good way to post them from my website. So today I added the ability to syndicate my posts as Foursquare tips.continue reading... -
Tweaks Ali Spittel’s face tracking filter demo to include a “snapshot” button that creates an image you can right-click and save.
Next up: can I make this into a Micropub client to post directly to my site?

I replaced Monocle's Font Awesome SVG+JS icons with their SVG sprite icons and it loads soooo much faster now! There was always a visible delay while the JS loaded in the SVG icons. Now it's just handled by the browser with no JS.
I always assumed that it was a slow network causing the issues, but I opened up the browser tools to check and it turns out the slowdown was happening while rendering the page, not when fetching external data. Goes to show it's a good idea to open up the browser tools once in a while to check out what's happening under the hood!
It looks like switching to no-JS icons in monocle totally fixed the issues I was having with it! Sometimes when I opened a page it used to block on all interactions like marking things read or favoriting for a while. I didn't realize that it was the icon JS that was blocking it! Now that the icons don't require JS, it's free to start handling user interaction sooner and I can scroll and mark read even before the rest of the assets are loaded! -

Unlisted Posts
At IndieWebCamp Amsterdam I finally implemented unlisted posts for my website! This has been on my list for a while, and is a prerequisite for being able to do fancier things like posting full photo albums to my site, so I decided to take the plunge and finally get this done.continue reading... -
I'm thinking of how to pull my Google Maps Timeline data in a machine-readable format. I want a GPS tracker project like @aaronpk's!
also I need a nickname cache and interface for posting those checkin spots! #itches

IndieWebCamp Amsterdam day 1 was amazing! Lots of great discussions, and as usual, I end the day with so many more ideas for what I want to create for my website next.
Tomorrow's challenge will be to figure out which I can accomplish in a day, and then do that.

So, I'm migrating my YouTube subscriptions to Microsub, thanks to YouTube's RSS support. I think that when I make my own IndieWeb reader, I'll special-case YouTube posts by adding a YouTube embed inside of them. Or maybe by downloading the video with yt-dl and offering it as a u-video. It'll also serve as an archive... but my HDD would explode!
