tantek.com Welcome glitzeor4444[d]++
#
tantek.com and yes under construction is very much the IndieWeb way ✨
#
glitzeor4444 Thank you! ✨️ I've been stalking the Indie Web Camp site for ideas lol. I've come to the conclusion that I should just do whatever the heck I want haha, so under construction it'll have to be until I figure out _what_ I want.

capjamesg Welcome to the community glitzeor4444[d] 👋
#
capjamesg Your website and digital garden are cool!
#
capjamesg I like to think of websites as places to play. You can make things just because you think they would be fun!

jak2k Now I added my XMPP to Thunderbird. If this works too, I only need to replace Matrix.

[aciccarello] glitzeor4444 I really like your digital garden site!

#
[social] glitzeor4444 Indeed, the digital garden is enjoyable.
#
[mattl] What is digital garden?
#
Loqi 🌱🪴 A digital garden is a particular practice of creating & growing an online and public IndieWeb presence that focuses more on topics & relationships than a timeline like blogs, has content of different levels of development, is imperfect and often a playground for experimentation, learning, revising, iteration, and growth for diverse content, perhaps interlinked with other digital gardens https://indieweb.org/digital_garden
#
[mattl] Huh. Not a phrase I’d heard before but someone was asking about it on Mastodon earlier too. Very cool.

#
[aciccarello] In my mind Maggie Appleton's post is the canonical definition of the term https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history/
#
[tantek] Maybe not definition but rather a key identification and aggregation

capjamesg [KevinMarks] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/02/billionaire-big-tech-frugal-elon-musk-innovation was a good read.
#
capjamesg This part has IndieWeb vibes: "Tech bros may want you to believe there is no point in making something new unless it is difficult, inaccessible and exclusionary. But technological innovation is about collaboration as much as it is about competition. For many people across the world, a product’s value isn’t in a sky-high valuation, or in it being impossible to take apart (as with impenetrable iPhones). Often, the smartest techno

[tantek] indeed. where can we document that?

#
capjamesg What is making?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "making" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "making is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
capjamesg Huh
#
[tantek] what is make
#
Loqi 📝 create in the context of the indieweb refers to the act of and UI for creating a new post, in its simplest form, a new note, or more broadly creating anything on or for your personal site! https://indieweb.org/make
#
[tantek] making is /create
#
Loqi ok
#
jak2k Mhh, my svg avatar causes an Internal Server Error in chat.indieweb.org
#
[mattl] jak2k: got a URL to your avatar?
#
jak2k [mattl]: Yes: https://jak2k.eu/favicon.svg (as linked on https://indieweb.org/chat-names).

#
gRegor I don't think the avatar caching supports SVG. I think there's a github issue for it. Can discuss more in #indieweb-meta
#
Loqi hey jak2k, gRegor: we try to keep jargon (SVG) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
gRegor shhh
