Loqi Homebrew Website Club - Writing Edition is starting soon! Join us! https://events.indieweb.org/vXocJMdNFV18
#
aspizu are there more non-tech people involved in the indieweb than tech people?
#
ulhar4409 my hunch would claim the opposite, although I don't have any concrete data on this
#
ulhar4409 but it would be a good goal to aim for
#
aspizu im kindaa biased towards nerds though
#
aspizu is gemini/gopher too considered indieweb
#
aspizu [edit] is gemini/gopher too considered indieweb?
#
Loqi hey aspizu: can you move the tech talk (Gemini) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
ulhar4409 sorta same here but i have some particular niches
#
ulhar4409 (also snrk)
#
ulhar4409 they do seem indieweb-adjacent but, being on separate protocols are probably mostly considered separate here
#
aspizu they are very much in spirit of the indie web though
#
ulhar4409 yeah, i agree
#
ulhar4409 now i'm curious if anyone's done gemini->microsub stuff before
#
aspizu gemini can serve xml/html so i think a gemini to http proxy could *just* work
#
ulhar4409 gemtext is deliberately kept simple, no? xml/html feels like it'd be an overcomplication
#
aspizu your not tied to gemtext, gemini can serve any file format, it is upto the client to choose to render the document or have it be downloaded
#
ulhar4409 (microsub also does not particularly care about feed format as long as the server knows how to parse it - my thought is basically just "teaching it" how to use gemtext as a feed format)
#
aspizu you could start with converting gemtext feeds to rss feeds, i think thats already possible

#
joeshmo hello. Interested in this idea, but unclear on how its meant to ease the "how to build a personal website" part?
#
ulhar4409 hmm, can you be more specific?
AcesAndEights83, DanQ and Saige_Leah joined the channel
#
joeshmo Well if the idea is that everyone should be able to publish to their own personal website, how can we make it easy for folks to create their websites? Right now they need a vps or to at least own a domain, which is beyond the technical knowhow of most people
