Hey Tantek, dunno if you noticed, I added that shopping list Shortcut to the Shortcuts wiki page
#
gRegor

#
Loqi
Shortcuts is an iOS app formerly known as Workflow used to automate various actions https://indieweb.org/Shortcuts
#
gRegor

#

Yeah, I mentioned it in one of the Zooms and Tantek was interested. One of those ultra-simple, very useful hacks

Welcome [dave] Do you have your own website?
#
dave
yeah
#
dave
its a blog
#
dave
is that like allowed?
#
[jeremycherfas]
OK, then. What is webring?
#
[jeremycherfas]
What is webring?
#
Loqi
A webring is a collection of websites linked together in a circular structure; check out the indiewebring, a webring across IndieWeb sites and blogs https://indieweb.org/webring
#
dave
wait im so confused
#
dave
so uh how do i join the webring?
#
[jeremycherfas]
Go to this page ^^^ and along with lots of others you will see a link to https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Webring
#
[jeremycherfas]
That should help.
#
[jeremycherfas]
You sign in with your domain and take it from there.
#
[jeremycherfas]
I have to pop out now, but I will be back and others may be along soon who can take up the slack.
#
[jeremycherfas]
What is your website?
#
dave

#
dave

#
dave

onla_ joined the channel
#
lars_the_bear
@dave : my recollection is that to join the IndieWeb ring, at least one page on your site must be marked up with an <h-card> element, that indicates who you are.
cotsuka joined the channel
#
lars_the_bear
The <h-card> will usually contain your email address. When you "sign in" to the IndieWeb ring manager at https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/, it will send a code to the email address in your <h-card>
#
Loqi
hey lars_the_bear, it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (Microformats), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
lars_the_bear
@Loqi -- sure. It would help if the person I was trying to talk to did the same. Otherwise I'll be talking to myself :)

I'm hyped to join this community, but I really want to self-host because I'd like to do some file-sharing stuff and even link my google-home services to my home assistant, but I'm worried about security, and I really don't even know where to start with that... Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started?

hi
#
Loqi
self hosting is the practice of running the software for your personal website on hardware under your own physical control, typically on a home server, or sometimes refers to only the aspect of running web applications on a (possibly virtual or shared) server under your control but not necessarily in your home https://indieweb.org/self-host

does indieweb have an open mailing list?
#
gRegor
No, an intentional choice to use combination of chat + wiki instead: https://indieweb.org/discuss#Email
#
gRegor
We do have a weekly newsletter
#
gRegor
What is this week in indieweb?
#
Loqi
This Week in the IndieWeb is a weekly digest of activities of the IndieWeb community https://indieweb.org/this_week_in_indieweb
#
espen1
i am looking for a plce to post a description of my project
#
espen1
i subscribed to your newsletter :)
#
espen1
ok thanks. im reading the Howto section now
#
gRegor
what is getting started?
#
Loqi
🌱 Get started on the indieweb by connecting with the IndieWeb community, getting a personal domain, a place for your content, and setting up your home page and other IndieWeb essentials https://indieweb.org/Getting_started
#
gRegor
Oops, wikify is probably what you want, if you want to set up a User: page on the wiki
#
gRegor
what is wikify?
#
Loqi
wikifying is the practice of capturing information and ideas on the IndieWeb wiki, starting with your own User: page https://indieweb.org/wikify
#
gRegor
You can also share about your project here in chat if it's about your personal website or some tools to help in that regard. If it gets more technical, we have a dev channel as well. More on https://indieweb.org/discuss
