The indieweb is what got me back in to blogging and RSS again. Being able to be social on the net without FB/Twitter has made being on the 'net fun again. Adding your feed to micro.blog even gives you a full-social modern social-experience, except it's completely powered by blogs and RSS.
There's still a bit of faff required to get setup (even with Wordpress), so I've been building what I hope will be a faff-free blogging engine ( http://tanzawa.blog http://tanzawa.blog ). It's finally gotten feature-complete enough for me to move my own blog it last week ( https://jamesvandyne.com https://jamesvandyne.com ).
- raelmiu 5y agoSame here. I love the indie web movement. Want to try to build supporting products.
- jlelse 5y agoSame. Blogging is fun again. I built my own blogging engine as well :D (also focused on being lightweight and fast)
- Seirdy 5y agoThe best part of the IndieWeb is that you don't have to go "all-in" on day 1. I have a static JS-free site with a self-hosted Webmention receiver (https://seirdy.one); https://seirdy.one); Hugo pulls in the JSON-encoded Webmentions during `hugo build` in CI. The combination of Webmentions and Microformats creates a self-hosted comments section where everyone's comment is hosted on their preferred platforms: comments/likes are preferably hosted on commenters' own websites, but they can also be hosted on silos like Twitter or the Fediverse.
