That video on Web 2.0 is inspiring and all those things happened but of course it doesn't express much any caution. It makes me think of seeing Philip Greenspun lecture on database backed websites and among the example websites he used about sites which link people together was a group of Jewish gun rights people from upstate New York. He moved on quickly. But it was a reminder that tools for connecting people with shared interests

need not be of the “beanie baby” or “bicycling” variety, that these were tools about politics and power. I think that lecture was in 2005.

Although I found the music choice a bit disorienting.

What do you think about having an Open Source page on the wiki that lists open source projects that you can contribute to in the IndieWeb?
#
capjamesg[d]
I’d love to collect such a list.
#
capjamesg[d]
Currently open source redirects to projects.
#

hey capjamesg[d], we try to keep jargon (open source) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
capjamesg[d]
I’ll get one started tomorrow! Thanks for the nudge 🙏

aaronpk, is OYG still limping along? Is anyone using the open source version as a standalone service for just themselves?
#
aaronpk
it's pretty much dead in the water at this point
#
aaronpk
i have a bit of code in there that's a start to a browser extension version which is what i've been using, but it's not ready for prime time yet
#
[tantek]
might be a good idea to at least update the dfn to set expectations for any newcomers

[aaronpk] remind me, you started putting together a browser extension alternative for it, right? any chance that will happen? totally ok if not, just curious
#
[snarfed]
oh nm I failed at reading
#
[snarfed]
are you still planning to finish and launch it?
#
aaronpk
yeah it works, but there's a few rough edges, and i need to figure out a good onboarding flow still
#
[snarfed]
cool, glad to hear it
#
aaronpk
i'd like to
#
aaronpk
but you know, lots of competing priorities

I wish PESOS was a table stakes for all the grams out there...
#
[tantek]
Interestingly enough, providing sufficiently open & rich APIs for other apps/sites to do PESOS-like functionality was part of the culture of Web 2.0 (and this is going into #indieweb-dev territory)

Just saw Jaime's post about updating a GitHub profile readme automatically. I love the idea of sourcing the dynamic content from your website. https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/01/12/autogenerated-profile-readme/
