    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.

    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.

    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!

    I’m Taking Ownership of My Tweets—zachleat.com

    September 16th, 2019

    I fully expect my personal website to outlive Twitter and as such have decided to take full ownership of the content I’ve posted there. In true IndieWeb fashion, I’m taking ownership of my data.

    One of the principles of #IndieWeb I really love is to encourage plurality of solutions. Have everyone build *what works for them* - it's the antidote to the "best practice" kool aid.
