Zachary kindly invited me to answer a few questions about hosting the IndieWeb Carnival. Running for three years now, the IndieWeb Carnival has been the source of endless inspiration for me, sparking both long periods of thinking as well as writing blog posts. Even when I hav...
Help wanted.

Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, offers three methods of authentication: IndieAuth, email and password, and passkeys. IndieAuth is offered as a sign-in method because I want Artemis to allow people to use their domain names as their identities. Email and password auth...
I haven’t had much time to read anything online between October and now. beyond tellerrand Berlin needed all my attention as well as the post event stuff afterwards and now Düsseldorf.
But I am slowly catching up on my RSS reader unread count. One post I just read was “The L...
