[chrisaldrich] commonplace book << Information definition of digital garden in the wild: https://twitter.com/RobertHaisfield/status/1258785966459764738
#
@RobertHaisfield In many digital gardens (basic def: public personal wiki, densely hyperlinked within itself, looser than a blog), you'll notice that if you hover your mouse over a link, it shows you a preview of the page it links to. BeSci/HCI explain why this is great 👇 QT [@JoshWComeau] 😁🎉 Working on a new feature for my blog, I'm calling it "Link previews". Pops up a little screenshot, to give you a sense of what this link holds. • Captures all external links • Generates screenshots daily • Totally integrated into my Gatsby process, zero manual steps! https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video_thumb/EVVu_3WXYAAtWQk.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1258785966459764738)

@CharlieRoseMari Okay, I think my ADHD is too bad to stake my website on building a new CMS. Time to look up IndieWeb practices for static sites. Who needs backups when you have git!? (twitter.com/_/status/1372789244389859329)

@nhoizey ↩️ Marrant, je ne pense pas vraiment pareil, j’ai l’impression que les sites perso reviennent, que IndieWeb se développe… sans doute encore un effet de bulle. (twitter.com/_/status/1372850168559702024)

@kevinmarks this is strikingly backwards from my #indieweb point of view (twitter.com/_/status/1372889326565142539)

[schmarty] Sounds like a rewording of that bad take article from last week or so. The one saying "look at all these extremist conservatives who built an audience on silos. Some of them talk about moving to open source decentralized platforms where they will be unstoppable! Get scared! (And pay no attention to the fact that the silos let them continue to grow their audience with impunity.)"
#
[schmarty] Who came up with this talking point? It's propaganda defending both the status quo of megacorp silos AND the people who use those platforms to spread disinformation and encourage harm.
#
[schmarty] And it does so by villainizing people who contribute to open source software?? My goodness.

[chrisaldrich] What is a newsletter?
#
Loqi A newsletter is a regularly scheduled email that is sent out on a specific topic to an email list https://indieweb.org/newsletter
#
aaronpk might be time for me to open source my newsletter software
#
[chrisaldrich] newsletter << [https://tedium.co/2021/03/19/self-hosted-substack-alternatives-guide/ Newsletter, Untethered] by Ernie Smith, an IndieWeb centric article with an overview ofa variety of self-hosted and SaaS solutions for building/maintaining a newsletter.
#
Loqi ok, I added "[https://tedium.co/2021/03/19/self-hosted-substack-alternatives-guide/ Newsletter, Untethered] by Ernie Smith, an IndieWeb centric article with an overview ofa variety of self-hosted and SaaS solutions for building/maintaining a newsletter." to the "See Also" section of /newsletter https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=74941&oldid=73651
#
[chrisaldrich] aaronpk, with the recent controversies, it'd be a good time to ride the wave...
#
aaronpk the problem is i'll need to do a whole bunch of stuff like make a good readme and docs, ideally make a landing page for it, and create a better installer experience like I did for Meetable. also make sure it works on Heroku

#
[tantek] [schmarty] I both agree strongly with the concern about that talking point, and there's an unfortunate sliver of actual concern in the "not talked about" default-libertarian attitude in soooooo any "open source" and "decentralized" projects/communities
#
[tantek] "dweb" is no exception

aaronpk oops forgot to update loqi for DST
#
[tantek] lol manual while it only hurts twice a year 😂
#
aaronpk and hopfully not much longer
#
[chrisaldrich] It hurts more in the fall when we're paying less attention...
#
[chrisaldrich] Mostly it's hurting all those recipients who are breathlessly waiting in their inboxes hitting refresh until the new newsletter pops up.
