An IndieWeb reader: My new home on the internet
I have a new home on the internet. I don’t visit the Twitter home timeline or the Facebook news feed anymore. I don’t open the Instagram app except when I post a photo. I still have accounts there — I just don’t visit those sites anymore. Instead, I have my own new space on the internet where everything I’m interested in is consolidated, and I can read and reply to things from there. But before I go too far into my new online home — an IndieWeb reader — some background.continue reading... -
Building an IndieWeb Reader
Over the last several months, I've been slowly putting the pieces in place to be able to build a solid indieweb reader. Today, I feel like I finally have enough in place to consider this functional enough that I am now using it every day!continue reading... -
How Silicon Valley is erasing your individuality - The Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com)"Facebook represents a dangerous deviation in media history. Once upon a time, elites proudly viewed themselves as gatekeepers. They could be sycophantic to power and snobbish, but they also felt duty-bound to elevate the standards of society and readers.

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... -
Having finally given myself a way to reply and like posts from my "reader" (IRC), I am still amazed at how important it is to have a way to reply inline. I'm suddenly replying to way more things because it's so much easier now. -
Designing an IndieWeb Reader Based on How I Read Social Media
In the current world of silos dominating the social media space, people typically have to visit half a dozen websites or apps to see all the latest content from friends. At this point I'm sick of this "multiple inbox" model that I want to find an alternative as fast as possible.continue reading... -

I like blogging software. - Anil Dash (dashes.com)
but I suspect the hardest part is the client app for readers, which works in a way analogous to an RSS reader or email client, but would have to support a new format and would be optimized for clean reading and subsequent discovery, rather than the three-pane model which has dominated those apps for the last decade or two
