This week, the second Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf took place. This time, 5 people attended. After a round of introducing each other including website, we once more had a good chat about a variety of IndieWeb topics. And this time, we all did some coding, too.

The difficulty is that many of the tools that we need to achieve the complete vision of data ownership just don’t exist yet, or they exist, but not in a way that is accessible to most people. During IndieWebCamp, we focused on discussing these current issues and starting to build some of the tools necessary ...
