People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
Walt Frazier interview after the game.
Good update on the progress in fediverse UX in this report by Tim Chambers and Sean Tilley. I like this intro to instance selection paralysis:
New users arrive ready to escape Big Tech, and we immediately hit them with 8,000 servers named like medieval taverns crossed with startup pitches.

A longer walk today, then decided to get a few groceries and took a Waymo back. Eventually this isn’t going to be noteworthy. As humans we normalize so many things that once seemed insane.

Adventure!
This is a post in response to Pablo hosting of IndieWeb Carnival for April, 2026 on the theme of “Adventure.” My parents contextualized difficult times as “an adventure.” Moving day was an adventure. Broken down car while on a family trip? Adventure. Sunburn during the summer? Adventure. I think it’s a valid way to think...

Gentle thunderstorm rolling through Austin. 🌧️
Still following The Verge coverage from the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial. Lots of bizarre moments:
Judge Gonzalez Rogers asks Musk to sum up the plot of Terminator in one sentence. “Worst case situation is AI kills us all I suppose,” he says.

11 down, 33 more to go. Plus a cave.
We had another lovely, sunny weekend last week, and that means I walked the second of the ten segments of the 44 votive churches loop. This time around, I didn’t have to mess with the route in order to hit all the churches in one go because there were no variants. And, like ...
Weather
Last week, I had a call with someone for an upcoming project. I naturally asked how the weather was. Shortly after I asked, I realised that I don’t like to ask about the weather just because British people like talking about the weather. I realised that I wanted to see a sliv...

A row of people waving with smiles on their faces, the attendees of IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf. I am positioned third from the left, in my favourite jacket, blue denim. ALTA row of people waving with smiles on their faces, the attendees of IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf. I am positione...
OpenClaw status with books
There’s a lot of hype about AI becoming like an employee that you can just trust to do things. Much of that is overblown. But I had an experience with OpenClaw this week that is close to that, after months of it sitting idle on a server without much of a purpose.
I’ve been w...
Apparently I still don’t know how to join a Zoom call without being muted first. It’s always a surprise what is going to happen when I connect. Camera on? Audio? Who knows!
Vincent Ritter has launched Build with Micro.blog, a new unofficial site with API documentation, example apps, and much more. Our official documentation is so sparse that it’s not obvious how far-reaching the scope of the API actually is. This site really shows it.

Matt Mullenweg thinks WordPress is in decline. He may be right
When open source becomes a bureaucracy, it stops being able to innovate. For a product, that can mean death.
The WordPress OS
The product described on wordpress.com/social is not a real product, I am told by someone inside who I have worked with and trust. They say there will be a lot of these trial products coming out in the coming weeks because this is a project that Matt has given to all develop...

Product-shaped or movement-shaped?
People love your work because of its impact, not how it works.
