[chrisaldrich] I like that article petermolnar. Too bad the BBC couldn't link to or embed the videos of any of those platforms and only embedded youtube videos as examples. In fact, it's sad that the only links in the article seemed to be to dead platforms instead of linking to the platforms the article was about...

petermolnar ^^^ from that: "However, initiatives such as IndieWeb <https://indieweb.org>’s syndication model and Micro.blog <https://micro.blog>’s decoupling of the timeline from post storage have shown us an encouraging path forward."

#
petermolnar what's next, wordpress.com instant messages?
#
[chrisaldrich] Looks like the same functionality they'd previously announced, now they've got mobile support for it within the app.

#
[tantek] yes petermolnar, dms are the modern corollary of the email theorem
#
[tantek] what is LastPass
#
Loqi LastPass is a popular password vault that supports a variety of features https://indieweb.org/LastPass
#
petermolnar [tantek]: apparently it's been superseeded by Stories...

Loqi ok, I added "Criticism: New private-equity owners are making everyone pay for all-device syncing, making the “free” level not very useful: 2021-03-08 Ars Technica [https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/demand-for-fee-to-use-password-app-lastpass-sparks-backlash/ Demand for fee to use password app LastPass sparks backlash]" to a brand new "See Also" section of /LastPass https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=74827&oldid=25002

theshawe hi everyone I'm a designer from Northern Ireland. very much a fan of the indie web. Currently here because I'm researching web mentions.
#
petermolnar it's a password store. Keepass is offline only, it's still useful.

#
KartikPrabhu what is webmention
#
Loqi Webmention is a web standard for mentions and conversations across the web, a powerful building block that is used for a growing federated network of comments, likes, reposts, and other rich interactions across the decentralized social web https://indieweb.org/Webmention
#
KartikPrabhu theshawe: that page ^ might be useful. If not feel free to ask here, or if it is very development related the indieweb-dev channel

#
jacky tbh I like that Wordpress is doing that
#
jacky it's showing off the power of their new editor system
#
jacky also shows that you don't need a silo to implement stuff like that

#
[manton] I like it too. I had thought about adding something like that to Micro.blog, but I could never figure out how to make something I’d actually want to use… Glad for other folks to experiment with it.
#
theshawe thanks KartikPrabhu I'll keep you updated. currently trying to decide if I will rebuild my site with Jekyll again or continue with my ghost blog.
#
theshawe ^^ on stories and Wordpress. that's so funny. I work with a startup accelerator called Raise and for the new year we built 'stories'' into the raise website (built on wordpress) as a new year gimmick. :)
#
KartikPrabhu oh! there was another person yesterday asking about webmentions in ghost
#
theshawe oh really?
#
theshawe full web adoption by 2022. :smirk:

GWG theshawe: Where in Northern Ireland?
#
theshawe Co Down.
#
GWG I know of it.
#
GWG Always hoped for more Indieweb people in Ireland and thereabouts
#
theshawe oh yeah GWG? Are you connected to Ireland? We have a decent wee community. We held the BUILD conference several years ago and an event called Refresh that I went to back when I was a student.
#
theshawe I think I have decided that I am going to use Jekyll over Ghost. :fire:
#
GWG theshawe: I'm from NY, but I work for an Irish company so non pandemic easy for me to find a reason to come to Ireland
#
GWG I'd love to try to get something together there I could come visit
