Pretty pleased I managed to have this entire conversation with @lsanger on Twitter using only my own website and tools! Never had to visit Twitter or use any Twitter apps! Our #indieweb tools have come a long way! #ownyourdata
and here is my previous post pushed out to Twitter and visible on Mastodon! #indieweb #ftw #distribution

I think I’ve figured out the broad strategy for how to decentralize social media. How do we get people using new, better networks? Here’s how!

You should come check out what we're doing on the #IndieWeb, it's basically exactly this, built with many W3C standards! Here's a writeup about my current social media experience, I stopped using Twitter ages ago:

<me> why is this space so fucking toxic sometimes though
<@rhiaro> because the social web is made by antisocial peopleOMG
That's one of the reasons I appreciate the #indieweb's focus on in-person events! -

And from a consumption perspective, every RSS feed reader I’ve used on iOS/macOS/web is still a far cry from what you get at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Once we make consumption easy, the creators will move. And RSS could continue powering the open web.
Totally agreee! We've been working on stuff like this in the #indieweb community for a while! It's getting there, still a long ways to go, but here's my current reading experience using Open Web technologies: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet -

@aaronpk Hey, sorry, me again. I just can't figure this out and hope you can help. I'm trying to use OwnYourGram with my site (Jekyll + Github pages + Micropub endpoint). But the post gets pulled in like this, so it doesn't show the photo. Are you aware of anyone who got this to work? It needs to add a reference to the photo in the post itself.
I'm not familiar enough with Jekyll to know what's going on. You might try asking someone in the #indieweb-dev channel in chat! https://indieweb.org/discuss -

IndieAuth: One Year Later
It's already been a year since IndieAuth was published as a W3C Note! A lot has happened in that time! There's been several new plugins and services launch support for IndieAuth, and it's even made appearances at several events around the world!
- Micro.blog added native support for IndieAuth, so your hosted micro.blog account is now also an IndieAuth provider
- Dobrado launched native support for IndieAuth
- The IndieAuth Plugin for Drupal launched in the beginning of the year, and has had several releases since then
- The IndieAuth Plugin for Grav adds support to your Grav site by delegating to indieauth.com
- The IndieAuth Plugin for WordPress had a major rewrite and supports IndieAuth natively now
I presented IndieAuth at the W3C Workshop on Strong Authentication & Identity in December, and even published a video of the talk afterwards!

Josh Hawxwell gave a talk at NottsJS called Indie What? where he covered several IndieWeb building blocks including IndieAuth.
photo by @NottsJS In July, I wrote a blog post called OAuth for the Open Web, where I detailed the technical solutions IndieAuth provides on top of OAuth to enable it to work in a more open and less corporate environment.
In October, I published Dweb: Identity for the Decentralized Web with IndieAuth on the Mozilla Hacks Blog.
So here's to a productive year for IndieAuth in 2018! Looking forward to seeing what new developments come up in 2019!

Upgrading my Monthly Summary Pages
Inspired by cleverdevil's monthly summary pages, I started working on my own version of them on my website!
My month permalinks have shown a calendar grid of all the posts I made during that month for a while, but it's not particularly easy to skim that and actually understand anything from it.
I had recently added a summary of my modes of transport for the month, which is a fun way to see how much I bike in a month compared to how much I'm in airplanes.
Today I added a few new sections below the calendar.
First is a list of all the photos I've posted that month. They are displayed in the same style as my photo albums, which are full-width justified, uniform height. It's a neat trick I learned from Flickr, and provides a nice looking photo grid of uniform height without cropping any images.
The next section shows a map view of all my checkins for that month. I didn't want to show a pin for every checkin, since that would be too many pins on the map clustered too close together. So instead I started by grouping by city name. That works pretty well when I travel to a few different cities in the month.
The problem with that approach is if I don't leave Portland for a whole month (it rarely happens these days but still), then the map looks like I didn't even leave a single spot. So instead, I actually group by latitude and longitude rounded to the nearest 0.1 decimal.
That way when I don't leave Portland, at least it shows a few map pins around the city.
I should probably switch this to use an actual map pin clustering algorithm, but this was easy and is good enough.
Below that is a section that shows a list of my "popular posts". I decided to rank my posts based on the number of interactions they've received. Replies are weighted the highest, followed by reposts then likes. So if something gets 10 replies, it will beat out a post with only 1 repost. I chose these weightings pretty arbitrarily, spot-checking a few months of data at a time. We'll see how I feel about it after some time.
So I'm pretty excited to launch this! Thankfully I already had enough things indexed in my database that it didn't require a lot of backend changes, it was mostly just UI and design work. We'll see how this feels for a few months and maybe there will be more things I want to add to it later, but this feels like a good start!
Thanks to cleverdevil for the inspiration!
