@dsample I suspect you're already aware, but for others who come along, some of these functionalities are relatively solid/stable plugins, which we all wish were in core, including https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/

@benwerd Instead of Gutenberg, I'd have core support for the micropub spec and allow a free ecosystem for creating small user friendly custom apps for creating posts of all kinds.

@fionajvoss Just for fun I built an own your own AMA page using webmention:

@davidlaietta For WordPress related activity in the area of #IndieWeb, among many others you should generally know are @dshanske (aka GWG), @pfefferle, and @schnarfed (aka snarfed).

In addition to a lot of IndieWeb specific pieces @pfefferle has also done some work on ActivityStreams (https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitystream-extension/) while @schnarfed has some great work with https://fed.brid.gy/ and https://indieweb.org/bridge#ActivityPub

I've written a lot of intro related pieces which may help you get started: http://boffosocko.com/research/indieweb/. In particular, the second two in the "Introductory Articles" section may be the most useful higher level overviews for you. The wiki has a large number of pages devoted to a WordPress worldview starting here: https://indieweb.org/WordPress.

Along with a plethora of others (who I've always found very warm and welcoming) we're all often hanging out in the IndieWeb chat rooms (there's a specific #WordPress related one as well): https://indieweb.org/discuss. If you want to hop on a conference call, I'm happy to walk you through some of the basics and point you in the direction of areas you're most interested in checking out.

If you're free at the end of June, the IndieWeb Summit is a great place to start as well: https://2018.indieweb.org/. Many of us are planning on attending. If you can't make it in person, we should be livestreaming a lot of it for remote attendees as well.

@davidlaietta if you don't mind new friends, I'm happy to chat about these topics.

@dintersmith psst... looks like the hero image on the front page of your website is a blank white image? May be better to have one of your new book instead if it's an accident.

@noahread @madebydusk @manton2 @m_ott @CraftCMS
It depends on what data you want back into Craft. Most just want the replies/comments. Micro.blog does this via webmentions, thus the reason for having the webmention plugin set up to collect those replies.

@sfaze If you're free, I hope you might join us either in person or remotely via live stream in Portland on June 26-27 for the IndieWebSummit. https://2018.indieweb.org/

@madebydusk @CraftCMS I think @m_ott has experience (and a plugin) with the webmention portion: https://indieweb.org/Craft
The micro.blog portion should hopefully be as simple as inputting an RSS/JSON or other feed. @manton2 may possibly know of others.

@realkimhansen @jimpick @mattscomments While I'm thinking about it, if you aren't aware yet, this year's IndieWeb Summit is coming up on June 26-27 in Portland. It would be great to see you all there.

@Weegee There are a few shows like that which have likely helped in the states. Brit imports on Netflix may be a bigger general factor, but I think it's been growing steadily since the 70's.

@Weegee It's been a British standard for an age. Kind of like the equivalent of "Wicked Awesome" in Massachusetts.
