🔗 IWC DUS 2026 Feed List

feed.city/c/dan/l/IWC+DUS+2026

I made a public list of feeds for IndieWebCamp 2026 in Düsseldorf, taking place very soon on the weekend of April 25 and 26.

So far, I have put people on the list that are listed as participants on the Wiki page for the event:

So, if you like, you can use this list to see what everyone’s up to before, during, or after the event. You can just browse the list’s web page, or chuck its feed into any feed reader and follow along that way.

I’ll update the list whenever new people RSVP or show up at the event.
