Another year of counting things.
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
Good morning! Still fiddling with Micro.one, improving things, and updating the FAQ here. In some ways this launch is unlike anything we’ve done before.

When we say #ownYourData we mean whatever data is important to you, like the data services aggregate about you and present back to you. Owning that data means extracting it into a form you can hang onto regardless of what the service does in the future (or disappears), and pu...
The first of a new year seems like a good day to assemble, aggregate, summarize and publish various year in review posts for the prior year.When various online services create a year in review for you many weeks before the end of the year (whether #Spotify #Wrapped or #Strava...
