[tantek]: I think the worst part of it was losing the drawings I did when I was a teen – the account was 6 years old and really showed my growth as an artist

It looks like we don't have a page for "mind mapping software" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "mind mapping software is ____", a sentence describing the term)

#

When I think of a feed that aggregates website content + allows interactivity, the first thing that comes to mind is Tumblr
#
cophee
that is true
#
cophee
i feel the same way about blogging vs social media
#
cophee
tumblr had a bit of both i think before it fell off
#
cophee
also what about private vs public posts (e.g. separation between professional or private feeds)
#
GWG
cophee: We always have issues with private
#
cophee
i see
#
pcarrier
private as in pseudonymous identity disconnected from your work identity but public content, or content that only (authenticated) viewers should see, or both?
#
pcarrier
[edit] private as in pseudonymous identity disconnected from your work identity, or content that only (authenticated) viewers should see, or both?
#
pcarrier
[edit] private as in pseudonymous identity disconnected from your work identity, or content that only (authenticated) viewers should see, or both? for the former, seems you'd "automatically" want a separate website

#
cophee
@pcarrier for example people making private instagram accounts where only authenticated viewers can see
#
cophee
I think a lot of people are more content consumers than producers on Instagram
#
cophee
A website my partner + I are working on has a shortened version of our content in the home page
#
cophee
but i think i agree with the short posts belonging to the home page
#
cophee
or on our own page
#
cophee
it's similar to how people post images without captions on Instagram
#
cophee
but like to use it just to keep a log of their daily lives
#
capjamesg
Interesting Wing[d] !
#
capjamesg
I think a lot of people use Stories on Instagram as a life log.
#
capjamesg
I used to use it for making collections of photos from travels.
#
capjamesg
Then I found out Instagram use images to train ML models, so I deleted everythign.
#
cophee
capjamesg[d]: yes! I think a lot of people I know use it for the temporal aspect
#
capjamesg

[edit] indielogin is cute and serves the needs of our community, but what do you expect my sister to enter? 😄
#
cophee
that is so true
#
cophee
pcarrier[d]: i was discussing this with my partner and he said that it would be hard to get normal people on board
#
cophee
+ results from my survey from friends also show that the complicated part of setting up a website might be a bar of entry from them
#
cophee
is it possible to simplify the process of creating/hosting a website with everything in one package?
#
pcarrier
oh yeah
#
pcarrier
add a <Start a free profile> button that goes to, IDK, https://new.ident.me, where you can register wing.ident.me with an E-mail address in 1 minute
#
pcarrier
[edit] add a <Start a free profile> button that goes to, IDK, https://new.ident.me, where you can register wing.ident.me with an pseudonym + E-mail address in 1 minute

#
cophee
my partner's in tech as well and he said that if making a pseudonym/website is as easy as making an email address, it would work a lot better for the normal folks
#
pcarrier
there is linktr.ee
#
cophee
yes!
#
cophee
a lot of people love it since it's so easy
#
pcarrier
well, couldn't you use linktr.ee with indieauth?
#
cophee
i have no idea hahaha
#
cophee
but then that also poses the threat of if the service shuts down
#
pcarrier
that's always going to be true, unless you pay for your own domain name every year and manage where it points to…
#
pcarrier
[edit] that's always going to be true, unless you pay for your own domain name every year / few years and manage where it points to…
#
cophee
yeah...
#
pcarrier
ah, linktr.ee doesn't `rel="me"`, otherwise I think it'd work
#
cophee
what if there's an indieweb ver of it?
#
pcarrier
what would make it more "indieweb"? bring your own domain?
#
pcarrier
[edit] what would make it more "indieweb"? bring your own domain? open source so it can be self-hosted?
#
cophee
pcarrier[d]: I guess so!
#
pcarrier
[edit] what would make it more "indieweb"? bring your own domain? open source so it can be self-hosted? microformats like `rel="me"`?
#
Loqi
hey pcarrier: can you move the tech talk (open source, Microformats) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
capjamesg
Wing[d] How did you make your hello animation?
#
cophee
capjamesg[d] I wrote the characters/letters on my iPad on Vectornator and then exported it as an SVG to my computer
#
cophee
And then used CSS stroke path animations!
#
cophee
Only the fading in/out for different languages was done using some JQuery
#
[tantek]
indeed, if people can make a linktree, they can make a personal site
#
cophee
I like this one: https://mylinks.ai/cafeclub as an alternative to linktree
#
cophee
I used it for my old uni soc and it shows a preview of our Instagram posts
#
cophee
[edit] I like this one: https://mylinks.ai/cafeclub as an alternative to linktree
#

if it has microformats that would be awesome 😆
#

having the ability to aggregate all your feeds on a home page + maybe even publish to it

[edit] if it has microformats that would be awesome 😆

cophee why not have yourdomain/links instead?

Readwise is great - I’m a paid user of their Reader app, which is separate from just the focused annotation tool.

[Al_Abut]
It’s so powerful with tags and summarization that it’s basically become my bookmarking datastore.
#
[Al_Abut]
Question for [capjamesg] - could you send a book page a webmention? In a sort of “I’m also reading this book” kind of way.

Tracy made a great point at one of the HWC’s that the indieweb principles assume you’re ok with putting your real identity online for the whole world to see, not everyone is comfortable with that

That shouldn't be the case, there's nothing there that says "real", or at least there shouldn't be

Rather than a formal principle
#
[Al_Abut]
Bye and thanks for a stimulating discussion! 👋
#
aaronpk
A lot of us do, but there's definitely no requirement anywhere that says your website or online presence has to be your real name or identity
#
[tantek]
quite the opposite in fact, we encourage folks to use whatever identities (plural) they want on the indieweb
#
[tantek]
what is a pseudonym
#
Loqi
A pseudonym is literally a "false name" and is one way in which people may choose not to reveal their true identity on the internet and IRL; IndieWeb principles do not require the use of real name or true identity at any point, and authentication and authorization are as easily accomplished with a pseudonym as with a real name https://indieweb.org/pseudonym
#
[tantek]
what github
#
[tantek]
what is github
#
Loqi
GitHub is a specialized content hosting silo for code, issues, comments, and static content that has some aspects of a commons, and through free domain mapping, a content hosting service as well https://indieweb.org/Github
