Homebrew Website Club
welcome to Homebrew Website Club - this is the first one at Mozilla since the Indieweb Summit
This weekend we're going to change the main url from indiewebcamp.com to indieweb.org
we discussed this on the wiki at http://indiewebcamp.com/rename_to_IndieWeb and how to move the chat logs
we're plannign on splitting the channels to indieweb, indieweb-dev and indieweb-chat
I discovered indieweb a week ago, and the values and motivations were thinking along the same lines
I found indieweb through someone's personal website.
I used to make games to inspire people but now I make tools instead
I like simplicity and correctness - I was using C++ up until a couple of years ago, but now I'm using go alone
my website is at https://dmitri.shuralyov.com and is pretty basic, but I have a lot of go-based projects in github
so I wanted to make the github issue tracker for myself
During quiet writing hour I wrote that my girlfriend and I decided to live in SF for the summer
we base our wiki profiles on URLs at the moment, and it it a mess - the wiki is not good at structured data
@gregorlove made an infobox for users to use in the wiki, but it is dtll a ness
ythis kind of grew organicall
so we adopted the sparlkine template model, but that means we end up wiht a DRY problem
if you go to http://h-card-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/ you can fill in your site and get an h-card back
as well as names we can specify pronouns so people can be addressed correctly by Loqi
I think editing a form is easier than filling in a wiki page
this link http://h-card-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/chat-people is a replacement for the name lookup that we use for irc now
we need to work on making authorship work rather than just first h-card on the page eg kevinmarks.com
I got github issues working on my own site: http://gotools.org:34601/github.com/gorilla/mux/issues/174
then I wrote an adaptor to turn my blog dump into the issue tracker interface
rather than build my own user registration system I enables github login for comments
my blog is at https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/blog and you can comment there with github logins
and I added emoji reactions too
after making emoji reactions work I imported LinkedIN data to my blog so you can react to my skills with emoji
after discovering what people are doing with webmentions my next job is for people to own their reactions
if you view source you see that my pages are compiled from go into javascript
ideally I'd render on the backend and show it as HTML too so you can parse it
I publish straight from my projects page to my site
all my personal stuff is open source so you can work on this
we had the Indieweb summit in portland with about 50 people attending
a couple of days after that we had the w3c SocialWG meeting pushing Micropub and Webmention to CR
2 days after that we had the decentralizedweb.net summit at the internet archive that covered indieweb too
we organised a homebrew website club popup in London, and that is now supposed to be monthly
last week was Open Source Bridge in Portland, and @aaronpk gave a talk on standardizing the social web
and Nuremburg held an Indieweb hack day last week
I've been doing some hacking on Woodwind, Kyle's indie reader
I made the posts and the subscription list use details/summary so they are collapsible
we were given a challenge by Holly Wood @girlziplocked: https://twitter.com/girlziplocked/status/748009724910649348
Pitch:
— holly wood (@girlziplocked) June 29, 2016
Integrate Google Reader with Twitter.and I realised that we can do this with indieweb. If you go to http://silo.pub and login with twitter,
you get back a url like https://silo.pub/twitter.com/kevinmarks (with your twitter handle instead of kevinmarks)
if you then go to http://woodwind.xyz and give it that URL, you have a feed reader logged in via twitter
If you go to settings and turn on micropub, you get reply, like and repost buttons under each entry.
so I can reply to things in the feed like this http://tantek.com/2016/182/t1/indieweb-how-to-open-web
and have the tweet show up like this: https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/748659899517657093
so @kylewmahan, should we add twitter etc nascar buttons to the woodwind.xyz homepage?
