# User_ [KevinMarks], what do you know about indieweb? the movement? the protocol?
# User_ I know that it is a protocol that allows for people to interact on open web in ways that feel more like a chat.
# User_ Do you mean not paying attention to the mainstream web?
# User_ You mean the movement, I should say. My understanding is that it's trying to do updatable websites. MarkAndSteve are key members of it, and they did publishing app called Manton Reece's Bencode. Or maybe React, I don't remember which one it was based on...It didn't have enough OOP for my taste but it was nice use of React as a UI framework .
# [KevinMarks] @user_ what are microformats?
# User_ [KevinMarks], A way of getting content from your vast silo and exposing it as structured data so that other applications can do different things with it. Stuff like profile pages on Facebook, where you have friends and stuff like that, are essentially microformats. It's not even a standard; there are many non-compatible formats out there.
# User_ They are a family of Internet specifications first published in 2004 to allow websites to easily represent structured data in the form of tags. Like HTML’s <table>, <b>, <span> and <link> tags, microformats communicate meaning by using names for categories of information and attaching those categories to specific values. For example, there are microformat tags that identify the title, author, date created and price of a book as it’s described on
# User_ an online bookstore or library catalog website. This allows programs like search engines or aggregators to automatically index the data along with other content without needing special agreement from each individual seller or cataloger – only a relatively simple set of conventions needs to be observed."
