I updated the Mac version of Inkwell again this morning. Here’s a very quick demo video on YouTube describing the recent changes.
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
Seven hills
This post is my contribution to the April 2026 IndieWeb Carnival on the topic of “Adventure”. Thank you for hosting, Pablo!
The Seven Hills of Edinburgh challenge invites participants to hike up seven designated hills in Edinburgh within a day. There are official events to p...
My favourite (unconventional) animal
This is my entry to the April 2026 Grizzly Gazette Carnival on the topic “Your favourite unconventional animal".
My favourite animals are cats, undoubtedly [1] [2]. This month’s Grizzly Gazette Carnival invites participants to think beyond cats, however, to “unconventional” ...
Om Malik blogs about OpenAI’s latest funding round, presumably the last one before an IPO:
OpenAI is quietly pivoting, shutting down Sora, its much-hyped video app, and concentrating resources on a “superapp” for developers and business users, with coding assistants at the center. Why? Because enterprise is exactly where Anthropic is eating their lunch.
I don’t completely agree with this. Yes, Anthropic has the momentum and is making a ton of money. But is it a pivot? OpenAI is still going to release a hardware device within the next year, which is clearly a consumer product.

I’ve seen /ai pages popping up here and there on other people’s blogs. The idea for these pages is, and I quote, «promote trust and transparency». Trust, in the context of 2026 internet—and society in general—is quite the complex topic. Dishing out trust willy-nilly is no lo...
Nesting social posts under blog posts in Artemis
In Grouping link posts in a web reader, I described a feature in Artemis to show when someone whose website you are following has bookmarked a post by an author you also follow. The motivation for this feature was to reduce clutter in a user’s reader by grouping shares of a p...
Museum Memories: Roundup
Museum Memories: Roundup
This month I had the pleasure of hosting the March 2026 IndieWeb Carnival on the topic of “Museum memories”, in which I invited participants to write about a memory of a museum. To everyone who participated – we had over 30 participants this month! – thank you. It was a delig...
Nick Heer blogging on the 50th anniversary of Apple:
But the main reason I am fascinated by Apple is that it has built such a distinct identity for itself. It has not always stuck to it but, if anything, I think that helps reinforce the existence of an Apple-y identity.
Funny how we adapt. I looked at the Barcelona metro map yesterday and thought this is a crazy, jumbled mess of random lines. A couple hours after arriving, it seems totally normal.

IndieWeb Fiction Carnival April 2026 Call for Submission: Platonic Soulmates

For the next minor update to Inkwell for Mac, I’m trying to address confusion around the highlight button. Two changes: adding a “new post” button, so it’s more obvious the “highlight” button is a different thing, and giving it a subtle yellow. It’ll ship tomorrow.

It's peeve time. I've just listened to a song that inspires me on Amazon Music. A song I've been humming and singing in my head all morning. After it's done, the voice of Alexa comes on and says "BTW, you have two new messages. Would you like to hear them?" Now I have to think about how much I hate this. I had an exalting experience I want to savor and the frickin robot intervenes. If I say "don't do that again" it says basically "Sorry Dave."
BTW the latest episode of 500 Songs is about The Who and Tommy. I of course had the album, which means every song is deeply embedded in my personal LLM. This episode, in two parts, was one of the best most recent ones. As with what Get Back did for the Beatles, when you know more about the people creating the art it has so much more value.
