If the #IndieWeb can do this to a blogger, then I'm honestly glad I don't participate in it's bullshit. I know what this is about. Hint. It has to deal with #MicroBlog and Transphobia. https://archive.ph/o/1bo9O/https://notes.neatnik.net/2025/02/silenced

And this post has links that will guide you to figuring out what happened. https://craney.uk/posts/leaving-microblog-heart-view

Soupault 5.0.0, a static site generator based on HTML element tree rewriting, is now available: https://soupault.app/blog/soupault-5.0.0-release/
This release includes:
1. A built-in Markdown processor based on Cmarkit (in addition to configurable external convertors, not as a replacement for them).
2. A new built-in widget that feeds attributes and content of an HTML element to a template and replaces the element with that template's output (a simpler way to make "shortcodes" than writing Lua plugins).
3. Site index available to all pages by default, so things like a site-wide navigation sidebar are simpler and faster now.
4. A few smaller improvements and new plugin functions.

It also removes or reworks some obscure options, so existing configs may need small adjustments (hence the major version bump, read the post carefully!).

Next Front End Study Hall tomorrow https://events.indieweb.org/2025/04/front-end-study-hall-026-5s7jpSP3fdKB - this'll be the 26th #IndieWeb event (a 1 year anniversary)...an open ended Zoom focused on HTML & CSS and all things #FrontEnd with an agenda set by the participants. See you there!

This site is the perfect representation of my cloud of choice to yell at

“…you have no fucking idea what a website is. All you have ever seen are shitty skeuomorphic bastardizations of what should be text communicating a fucking message. This is a real, naked website. Look at it. It's fucking beautiful.”

I wrote a personal post on a personal not-so-mathy site I just started on bearblog

I think this fits the indie web carnival theme of renewal

Yay! People are sharing this! I know this because now I’m seeing people sharing in forums and I’m reading via RSS. I think YouTube harms users and creators, Sightless Scribbles https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/20250414/ #YouTube #Blog #Tech #Journalism #IndieWeb

Das kranke Auge und die Suchmaschinen

Das ist zugegebenermaßen ein etwas seltsamer Titel für einen Blogbeitrag, aber ich werde gleich erklären, worum es geht.

If #IndieWeb things interest you, there's a Zoom meeting in a few hours—"Homebrew Website Club Europe/London." We share our websites: writing, creations, tools, troubles, tips, POSSE and PESOS. A friendly venue to help you scratch a website itch. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/04/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-ElmrASxSwxKO All welcome.

I documented my flow and tooling for how I write and publish blog posts right now.

I use #Notion as my CMS and #Eleventy () as my static site generator and I've written custom CLI tools with Node to integrate the two.

My tooling has been built one small piece at a time over the past 7 years.

Have you ever tried using WordPress to create a website? Limiting, not very intuitive, at times frustrating. It felt like trying to build something with your hands tied.

Soooo, #11tyCMS took some big steps today! It can now observe filesystem changes in real time. Whenever a file gets added or deleted, the posts list updates accordingly.

Ngl, this was a away bigger pain in the ass than I was expecting to begin with. The code is a monstrosity. BUT: it works!!

In its current form, it will scale HORRIBLY. It raises questions about how I should design how posts are shown. BUT, it works and thats the main thing for now

Looking for a new web host because NameCheap was getting expensive (sic).

I already got a domain just gotta have a place where I can drag and drop some HTML files, maybe a bit of java.

Neocities is ideal and something I like using and I'd pay for their premium tier but looking for something a bit more low cost (under $60/year). Another option is self hosting (I already have Yunohost running locally) but I'm worried about IP.

Suggestions welcome

This desire for a more free, GAFAM-independent Internet, which led me to Mastodon, is also leading me to build my own site.

Without using WordPress, pure text code, because it's fun.

I'm playing with what will be the home page. Do you have the reference? :D
