Homebrew Website Club London

Calum Le Tour 🚴🏻:

This is the 1st anniversary of Homebrew Website Club London

Barry Frost:

Tantek came over a year ago and did a pop-up one and now we're regular

Neil M:

I've been getting the rel-me links working for http://web.manuelpueyo.tech/

I'm going to be posting to my website will quill and then sending it out to twitter as well

It shows up as twitter via bridgy publish, but doesn't end up on twitter yet

Manuel Pueyo:

my site is http://web.manuelpueyo.tech/ which is a wordpress site and I added the indieweb plugins

I'm trying to add the different identities on twitter and last.fm so I can log into indiewebcamp

Neil M:

I have twitter coming up twice on my site as I have 2 rel=me's on it

Kevin Marks:

rel=me is not just for indieauth, it is also for showing that you own both sites

I have a distributed verification browser plugin that check's rel-me

it's linked from this post http://www.kevinmarks.com/distributed-verify.html

because this works on twitter, you can see which sites people actually own, without begging twitter to verify

Barry Frost:

I've been playing around with progressive web apps - I got my site https://barryfrost.com/ to pass the PWA checks

it has a service worker and https and a manifest

Calum Le Tour 🚴🏻:

if you go there several times it works out that you're a regular and offers to install the app

Barry Frost:

I set up a thing with cloudflare to add a banner to my site advertising HWC London

they have a net neutrality banner for your site if you have cloudflare caching

Kevin Marks:

so today @cloudflare does the opposite of usual and makes your website really slow for net neutrality?

Calum Le Tour 🚴🏻:

Jeremy Keith, @adactio, pioneered using progressive web apps for indie sites

Calum Le Tour 🚴🏻:

I've been tidying up my website to have better microformats so webmentiosn works

we also got the @hwclondon site and hwclondon.co.uk to advertise so more people show up here

No HWC London in 2 weeks as Meet The Tag event clashes with it - @timberners_lee is coming https://ti.to/w3c-tag/meet-the-tag-london-july-2017

Barry Frost:

uh oh @hotzeplotz is doing the lighthouse scanner on my site - not too bad 73%

Kevin Marks:

as well as kevinmarks.com I have my known.kevinmarks.com for shorter notes and also for ownyourgram

ownyourswarm doesn't work on my hosted known site as the json version of micropub didn't work

Barry Frost:

I had to change my site a fair bit to get ownyourswarm working wiht the nested location in json

so my checkins show up like this https://barryfrost.com/2017/07/12-181445

I turned off the ownyourswarm webmentions from swarm, and it got a bit much as my phone was buzzing

Kevin Marks:

trying ownyourswarm.com again and it isn't working with my hosted known, getting 403. Scope mismatch?

andrea rota:

My site is https://mey.dn - it's a static site - I moved my blog from wordpress to google and made them private

andrea rota:

I use gatsby.js for my site - it uses React and is very fast and offline-first

Also it is graphQL which makes it easy to reshape data using a unified data language helps

It does serve static html but also enriches it with React so you have a dynamic static site

on netify you can install other auth plugins

I've also been using the static site generator lektor which has a nice web interface to the git repository

there are a few static site CMS tools now that work with these

Barry Frost:

siteleaf is a nice static site generator that can deploy to github pages

@voxpelli did a micropub to github pages adaptor https://github.com/voxpelli/webpage-micropub-to-github

Kevin Marks:

I serve my website from heroku even though it is static - I should really fix that. Maybe I'll go to Hugo

Neil M:

I use the post kinds plugin in wordpress that formats the different post kinds differently which is uselful

Kevin Marks:

I made http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/ for Chris with Hugo and an indieweb friendly template

Neil M:

I use pocket for bookmarks - I'd like to be able to bookmark things on my site and then go to pocket

Barry Frost:

I use @pinboard for bookmarks from my site as they have a simple api

Kevin Marks:

I have my twitter links feed to @pinboard, so maciej has them safe fro me to pull back to my site eventually

MartincHeath:

I now have a website at https://martinheathsjournal.blog/ becasue we need another wordpress site

Barry Frost:

I see @manton got micro.blog from wordpress early - it supports micropub

taking a photo

MartincHeath:

I've just written a blog post about music rights at https://martinheathsjournal.blog/
