· indieweb, dev, bridgy IndieWeb, 2024 edition

I’ve been running this website on IndieWeb principles and tech for over a year now, so I thought it was time for an updated edition.

What I think I’d like is some sort of simple web server that sits next to Hugo and provides the Micropub/Webmention endpoints and serves the site. I think having the content live in Git rather than a DB is definitely something I’d want to keep.

So at this point I’ve got:

  • Hugo website hosted on GitHub Pages, deployed by GitHub Actions
  • Micropub and media endpoints running on AWS Lambda, with API Gateway stuff
  • Brid.gy to syndicate things and backfeed interactions
  • Webmention.io to collect webmentions

Does it work? Yes! Is it better than if I’d just written a fucking server? hahahaha no

Pretty cool seeing POSSE getting traction on The Verge, of all places:

· meta, dev, indieweb On POSSE and IndieWeb

I’ve gone down into the depths these last couple of weeks with IndieWeb, POSSE and a whole bunch of other arcane terminology. Now that I’ve come up for air, let’s chat about it.

Getting Webmentions working has been a bit of a pain in the arse but I think I’m getting there, slowly.
