Hi kicks! I didn’t know you were on HN, ever since discovering it I’ve been promoting the IndieWeb, and yours was the first site I came across; to me the IndieWeb and microformats is the web we should have gotten instead of one dominated by platforms.

View on HN

Where are you promoting things, dvtrn? Good to meet you.

Where are you promoting things

...on a platform (it was a tweet), ironically. I tore my jekyll-based site down earlier this year because I have a bad habit of redesigning it every other Tuesday.

it’s a strange compulsion, but your site and a few others I found on indieweb.xyz have been some good motivation to work towards some degree of content permanence that I own and control (plus a general frustration and growing loss of patience with the platform)

Twitter is fine by me. The Indieweb is a cool ideal. But I’ve still made great discoveries through Twitter as well. (Perhaps that speaks to the ingenuity of humans despite the platform tho...)

If you get your own site up, let me know!
