IWDiscordRelay <T​uck#7925> I am ready to jump into IndieWeb, but was getting overwhelmed with the many options on the Getting Started Wiki. If I am willing to get a personal domain and pay a small monthly fee for hosting, which web hosting service is IndieWeb ready, and will allow myself and my kids plenty of learning opportunities on how to make a website, create pages, and start to link blogs and social media. The wiki said ask friends and colleagues wh
#
[tw2113_Slack_] just owning your own domain puts you in the indieweb community
#
barnaby greetings Tuck! if you’re mostly interested in learning to make web pages yourself, then pretty much any web host will do
#
barnaby although those are only “indieweb ready” in the sense that they let you host stuff at a domain
#
IWDiscordRelay <T​uck#7925> Thanks tw2113_Slack_ and barnaby. The getting started page said Wordpress makes some thing difficult. Is there a CMS that makes the Indieweb tools easier to install and use?
#
barnaby in terms of installation, you’re unlikely to find anything easier than wordpress, although to get indieweb features running you’ll need to install some plugins and tweak templates, etc
#
IWDiscordRelay <T​uck#7925> barnaby: 😀
#
[tantek]1 barnaby, it's been a while since I think you considered differences CMSs so I'd actually say Known makes it easier to get IndieWeb features up & running than WordPress

#
barnaby is known as easy to install as wordpress?
#
[tantek]1 I believe it is just as easy to install, and comes with much more out-of-the-box IndieWeb support, defaults, etc.
#
IWDiscordRelay <T​uck#7925> What is the durability of Known? I used it when they allowed free personal accounts on their domain, but then they ended that. I don't want to be burned again.
#
[tantek]1 are you looking for a service to sign-up for or software to install and maintain? those are two very different approaches with different advantages and disadvantages
#
[tantek]1 might be worth taking a look at https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started for those and other options, and reasons to choose one or another
#
IWDiscordRelay <T​uck#7925> I guess software to install and maintain. But I would rather the web hosting service do the maintaining since that might be past my level of understanding.

slyduda made my own custom meeting api for caldav because no services provided the integration (that i could find), so that was fun! does anyone know of any cool projects with meetings/calendar implementations?

#
cambridgeport90 I missed the convo yesterday, apparently, though not sure how that happened, but it looks like people are working more with microblog.pub... I'm now starting to consider it, though not sure how certain posts would render properly in it... for instance, I do a lot of check ins on applications like Swarm, and what not, so how would those translate? Looks like the use of something like that has opened a whole new discussion on post

[tantek]1 by "working more with microblog.pub" do you mean coding with it? Asking because you mentioned protocols

@ZoeSchiffer Wow. Elon Musk just told Twitter employees he’s not sure how much run rate the company has and “bankruptcy isn’t out of the question.” (twitter.com/_/status/1590812793787518977)
