Thanks to @marinintim we now have a Russian translation of IndieNews! Check it out and submit your Russian posts at https://news.indieweb.org/ru -
Been hacking away on a new IndieWeb project called Fortress! It’s meant to be a way to simplify sign-in support for IndieWeb-compatible services (think Monocle or http://indiebookclub.biz/). You can check it out at fortress.black.af. [Here’s my site’s scan](https://fortress.black.af/demo?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjacky.wtf%2F]. I expose a lot of info!

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.

Day 43: Timezone Support for IndieNews #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I added support to IndieNews for storing and displaying the timezone of submitted posts. Previously, all the dates were stored and displayed as UTC, which can be misleading such as when a post is submitted after 5pm in Pacific time since the post then has the date of the following day in UTC.continue reading... -
Day 41: Easier Posting to IndieNews #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Following up on yesterday's update of adding a Webmention form on IndieNews' Webmention endpoint, today I finished building out the UI for submitting to IndieNews from a browser.Now the "Submit" link includes a form where you can paste in your post's URL, in case your website doesn't send Webmentions automatically.continue reading... -
Day 40: Webmention Form for IndieNews #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I realized today that if you visited the Webmention endpoint for IndieNews in a browser, it showed a 404 page, since the Webmention endpoint was only registered for POST requests. Today I added a page that is served for a GET request.continue reading... -
Day 32: Making IndieNews Realtime with WebSub #100DaysOfIndieWeb
You can now subscribe to realtime updates of IndieNews feeds via WebSub! (formerly known as PubSubHubbub)It was relatively straightforward to add the necessary tags and ping the WebSub hub to make this work. I used Switchboard as the hub. I added the <link> tags and HTTP headers to indicate the hub and self URLs. When a new post is submitted, I then ping the hub, which is just an HTTP POST request with the URL of the feed.I then went to test the publisher using websub.rocks. That part worked great, websub.rocks was able to subscribe to my feed, and I see it receiving the ping when a new post is added to IndieNews.continue reading... -
Day 31: IndieNews Updates! #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I started what is hopefully a series of updates to IndieNews. It's been a while since I've worked on it, probably because it's been mostly working fine which I guess is good.The main thing I did today was replace its own Microformats parsing with delegating that to XRay. This should provide better results when parsing pages, since I've been concentrating my work in consuming Microformats posts in that project.The visual update today is a change to how submitted stories are displayed. Previously, each story always showed the headline as a hyperlink to the post. For short titles, this worked fine. But sometimes someone would submit a plaintext note, or an article with a very long title. This looked pretty bad. Now, IndieNews will switch to rendering the post as a text note in a few cases. This means URLs in the note also get hyperlinked individually, which is a good improvement.continue reading... -
Just launched the French version of IndieNews, translation by @xtof_fr! http://news.indiewebcamp.com/fr

@xtof_fr I just launched multi-language support for http://news.indiewebcamp.com! Any chance you'd want to contribute a French translation?

Just updated Quill to send Micropub HTML requests in a nested property: `content[html]=<b>foo</b>`
This is an opt-in change, so you'll see this notice on the editor page letting you switch what Quill sends you when you're ready!

Even more changes to IndieNews!
• You can submit things by tagging them with "http://news.indiewebcamp.com/"; (similar to a http://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag)
• Launched language-specific home pages, with translations of the interface! There is a separate German and Swedish feed you can submit things to! (Feel free to offer a translation for other languages too) -
Just launched a bunch of changes to http://news.indiewebcamp.com which will hopefully make it easier to use!
• No longer requires constructing the IndieNews URL before hand, now you can just send a webmention to the home page. (The permalink is returned in the webmention response)
• Removed upvoting and ranking of stories, and the front page always shows the newest stories first.
• You can submit links from other peoples' websites by syndicating a bookmark post! http://indiewebcamp.com/bookmark
This also means subscribing to the home page in a reader should work better!
Let me know what you think!
