@lindner Congratulations!

For extending things a bit, be sure to check out: http://docs.withknown.com/en/latest/plugins/community/ so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

One of the things that made using my Known site much more addictive was being able to do so more easily on mobile. I wrote up a few thoughts here that you might appreciate: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2016/sharing-from-the-indieweb-on-mobile-android-with-apps-and

If you don't like the writing interface you might consider using Quill https://quill.p3k.io/ which uses micropub (already included in the core of Known). Micropub is now a W3C candidate as of yesterday. Alternate posting clients may be found at https://indieweb.org/micropub#Clients. In particular you might like OwnYourGram or OwnYourCheckin for Instagram and Foursquare if you use those.

You'll find lots of fellow devs and users of Known at https://indieweb.org/Known

Good luck and let us know if you need help!

In today's (8/12/16) edition, the upcoming note about HWC for 8/24 includes most of the usual suspects, but leaves off Los Angeles, despite the fact that many of them are listed as TBD while LA actually has data.

Am I missing something that causes it to skip over LA, or is something else going on?

@CaptainKurtis Hope it works. URL Forwarder is awesome; this post inspired many in Indieweb to use it for mobile http://stream.boffosocko.com/2016/sharing-from-the-indieweb-on-mobile-android-with-apps-and

@devonzuegel If you have questions, feel free to ask. There's a helpful group on IRC/slack if you need anything https://indieweb.org/IRC

Mike, it's an edge case for many to be sure (I don't expect my mother to encounter it often), but just another of hundreds of other reasons to be part of the Indieweb. The "big reasons" sell themselves but aren't the entire raison d'etre, and I like to document some of the others when I encounter them.

I and others in academia (most of my audience) run up against it fairly frequently in relation to scientific journal articles. It's particularly egregious when big publishers like Elsevier, who insist they're adding value for their steep subscription rates, under-manage their sites and don't always approve comments that further scientific communication or require additional work on their part to editorially change/modify what they've published in print.

The particular case that spawned this particular "rant", still hasn't "approved" the comment/question I made, yet they approved a dozen or more "me too" congratulatory comments around mine that did nothing to further the conversation in the community in which it was posted.

Further proof that you can't please all of the people all of the time...

.@kevinmarks We should definitely encourage @jeffjarvis and students to attend IndieWebCamp NYC http://2016.indieweb.org/nyc2

@ken_bauer @cogdog @edtechinsight @bradhinson @jessreingold @anneperez @mburtis Can't wait to apply to http://indieweb.org principles

My answer to "What is your review of LiveJournal? - Quora"

It’s definitely not a good platform from an IndieWeb (http://IndieWeb.org) perspective. The details on the wiki entry at Indieweb pretty much say it all from a flexibility and long term perspective: LiveJournal - IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org/livejournal). You’d be better off with your own personal site and then cross-publishing to LiveJournal if you have a particular audience there that you want to reach and it’s worth spending the money.

If you’re choosing a platform, perhaps take a look at projects (https://indieweb.org/projects). For beginners looking for something simple and inexpensive as well as easy to maintain, I’d recommend WordPress.org (http://WordPress.org) or Known (http://WithKnown.com). These will be better at allowing you to own your own domain and own your own data while still offering a large number of more modern blogging/web features.
