Indiewebcamp SF
welcome everyone to indiewebcamp SF - I'm your host, @kylewmahan is too, and @andigalperin will be here too soon
plays Squarespace's superbowl ad "a better web starts with your website" ending with the Indiewebcamp logo
myself @aaronpk, @caseorganic and @crystaldbeasley in 2011 started this in Portland to make our own websites
we're here to hack on our own websites and hope to build something to show off at the end of today
if you're curious what to work on, start with your personal website, and what the next important thing you want to do to it
you will find people here have similar itches about their sites, and may already have things for you to use on yours
we do have a code of conduct - if you have issues contact me, kyle or andi http://indiewebcamp.com/code_of_conduct
next we are going to spend 30 minutes for people to show their own websites, what they have working, and what they want to fix
did we find out who is a deisgner, a developer or whatever?
I'm tantek, my website is tantek.com, I post notes, pictures, I like to run, I like sunrises
I post photos to my website, and then share copies to facebook and twitter using brid.gy
I'm Ryan Barrett, my website is https://snarfed.org/ It's wordpress and does the indieweb stuff. I made brid.gy
my raison d'être fro being here is interacting with the silos - brid.gy is the site that sends likes, retweets, etc
granary is a python library that si lower level to let you interatc wiht the silos
silo.pub is kyles site that lets you publish to the silos and that is important too
stats on brid.gy we have growth in listen, publish and blog webmentions, wiht listen being the biggest
if you are on blogger, tumblr or wordpress you can use bridgy to post webmention to you as comments
we have sent over 250,000 webmentions to about 850 sites
users by silo: twitter is at the top, then facebook, the others have lower growth
whats surprising is that google+ is 3rd - who knew? I worked there for 10 years and wouldn't have known that
we have multiple CMSs - Known withknown.com wordpress plugins, hosted wordpress and so on
we have POSSE, backfeed, we have readers: woodwind, monocle - mentions, tagging notifications
a lot of great stuff has happened - what should we do next? social graph, recommendations, driving growth
The next big thing we want to work on is using your phone - they have surpassed computers
we can read OK on phones, but posting on your phone is still hard - thats what I'd like to see get built
I'm curious who's a designer here? 1,2,3,4,5 -we need designers to pair wiht deveolpers to make great things
my site is andigalpern.com - I am going to work on creating content for my blog so I can post on my site
my site isn't display how I want ti, and I know I have work to do on it today
my site is https://kylewm.com - it has notes, some longer replies - you can see the context I am replying to
it will also show replies below the post as well
if you go to kylewm.com/new you can see my posting interface
I can person-tag people bases on a nickname cache on my site that autocompletes
Hi I'm ben, my site is werd.io - I originally built this for myself and that is now withknown.com
I can post lots of kinds of post and share them out to twitter and other sites
here's a question I asked about mince pies and lots of people replied, including @kevinmarks http://werd.io/2015/wheres-the-best-place-to-find-mince-pies-in-the
I can reply to kevin, and it shows on both our sites, and I can also reply to tweets on my site and share the replies

my site is http://bradleyallen.info - I am designer dishwasher by training, I took a few years off to roast coffee
I'm very interested in making it easy for a broader audience fo this stuff, so I have a UBOS linux install
I can set up a ubos linux container and add Known to it easily, and easily add mediagoblin
networking setup for servers tends to be really complicated; this sets it up easy and quickly with firewall, dns
I'm ben, my site is bengo.is - I work at livefyre that does realtime comments
my site is really simple; my notes are statically served - I added questions
my posting interface is creating files in this notes directory on github, and then they get posted
I'm goign to work on a webmention library for my site, then if you need help coding ask me
I'm Aaron Parecki my current site is http://aaronparecki.com/ - I've been rebuilding it from the ground up
it looks OK, but underneath it is a mess, it does a ton of stuff like what I eat and bikerides
I'm splitting out my site into separate services - quill.p3k.io is a posting interface
teacup.p3k.io is for logging food and drink on my site
indieauth.com is a project of mine - you use it to sign into the wiki
webmention.io is my tool for receiving webmention on your behalf and embedding them in your site
indiewebify.me is a guide to getting on the indieweb and helps you check your site is working OK
my website is in testing - I'm trying to make it better my goal is that this site just displays posts- other tools post

I'm jesse, and I was likely the first person to run known apart from ben and erin
I imported all my old blogspots into a new known instance from wordpress and livejournal,
the importer doesn't bring in comments, so I might work on that
I'm Judith Mayer, and this is my site (blank screen)

Hi, I'm Kevin; my site is http://kevinmarks.com/ . I also use http://known.kevinmarks.com for shorter notes.
I use @kylewmahan's excellent Woodwind reader to post. http://reader.kylewm.com/
I post from Woodwind to reply to Ben's post; the reply shows up on my site, and on Ben's using webmention.
I've built my own tool, http://www.noterlive.com/ , for live-tweeting.
demoing reader.kylewm.com and known
NoterLive is a tool you can use, too, if live-tweeting events appeals to you.
I've also created hovercards that provide a preview for any indie website. It's a small JavaScript library.
If a site doesn't provide microformats markup, hovercards just show a small preview of the site.
I had a personal site but I gave up in 1997 or so - I work at teh w3c on the social web workiing group
I have a personal site, but it's not up right now - I also work with an art centre and would like to improve their site

I post all kinds of things on my site, notes, tweets, likes and bookmarks, reposts
I alos post whenever I follow someone on twitter or an indie site
I receive webmentions through webmention.io, and get twitter oens through brid.gy
what i want to do today is build my own webmention receiving
I want to add features and I want the experience of building it myself
we have 4 session slots, we have clusters of tables for people to collaborate on
propose hack session, what people want to learn about, or what they want to teach
put your session, and your name on a stickie and post ti on the board
I am happy to lead a session on intro to the indieweb, getting set up from nothing - do it on your sites now
aaron showed briefly the indiewebify.me site - I would love to work on making this better with product and ux people
on my own website I'm going to try to get automatic posting to facebook and twitter using silo.pub from my site
I've been inspired by the work that kyle and ryan have done with person tagging
I still post on instagram and manually post to my site. i want to add person tagging to my posts
I'ma designer but I also give talks on UK - I want to give you the recipe for clean easy to read beautiful websites
it all comes down to science - there is a way to make your site readable - designing for everybody
to revive my personal site I would like to do wikipedia info boxes where people can update each others' sites
we need to work better on phones - we need to do better, and do an offline first app that works when we connect
we want to use silos as plumbing - ownyourgram.com is an example
I want a session on POSSE - I can't lead this session but I want to learn and explain it
Ben and Erin and I are trying to make a business of this - I'd like to talk about how we market this too
