I'm still intending to add a /feeds page to this site at some point (see Making RSS more visible with slash feeds) and now Jeremy has put together an implementation I really like. Jeremy's idea of …

A simple idea: collate all your feeds (RSS, ATOM, MF2, whatever) into one place. Marcus suggests a pattern of using the /feeds page (his is here). There have been some valid discussions on the …

A clever service that takes any input URL and attempts to identify lists of links (i.e. a feed) and then convert this into an RSS feed that anyone can subscribe to. Great for pulling content out of …

Just mention @birb in a post to Mastodon with a link, and RSS Parrot will search the site for any kind of feed, convert that feed to an RSS output, and then launch a Mastodon account that …

Desmond has written a great overview of the current state of "post types" within the IndieWeb community, but the takeaway that struck me as most interesting/valuable is their distinction …

Pine is an interesting tool for curating information. It acts as a feed reader, importing content from RSS, Atom, mf2 etc. That means you can subscribe to Tumblogs, YouTube channels, subreddit feeds …

Time, and specifically timing, is a very hard thing to judge and something which is largely overlooked in our day-to-day lives. That's probably fine for common household chores, such as …

Today's lunch started no differently to any other. Grab some food, open Internet Explorer (I know, it's not by choice...) and fire up theOldReader to chip away at the ever mounting pile in my inbox. …

Why does this website exist? That's the question I found myself wondering today. I was making my way through the usual motions: eating lunch, catching up on RSS feeds, discovering something I found …

Standard workday, standard work lunch catching up on RSS feeds. Of course, quite a few of them are discussing the leaked "Anti-Diversity" manifesto from the, now infamous, ex-Google employee (name …

It's that odd time of year, the bit between Christmas and New Year where time doesn't really flow like you expect it to. No one knows what day of the week it is and everything seems to be …

A good look behind Andy's "microblog", a small website that powers his Twitter feed and link list via a mixture of IFTTT, RSS, Feedbin, Eleventy, and Netlify. Includes step-by-step guide and source …

I finally made it to an IndieWebCamp meetup, even if it was remote only due to the increasingly restrictive implications of the coronavirus. I learnt a lot, I had a great time, and I'm ready to start implementing a whole bunch of new ideas right here. I also took a huge number of notes from the speakers and sessions throughout the day.

Static sites don't make search functionality easy, but luckily there are some excellent services that do. I've been messing around with Algolia and finally have it working with Craft and Gatsby the way I want it... on the backend, at least.

Well, it only took about a week of dazed puzzling, data tables, and tearing my hair out in clumps, but I think I may finally have a rough content taxonomy for theAdhocracy. A rough first version, that is. Let me explain...

Tracy has written a really solid article that covers a lot of what I consider the positives of the IndieWeb movement. With her mentioning of digital gardens and personal filing systems, she's clearly …

A lot of blame is heaped on the near-mythical "algorithm", but is that really just an easy scapegoat for actual societal issues?

A(n expectedly) brilliant article from Jeremy highlighting some of the absurdities underlying our current privacy nightmare called "behavioural advertising". Most …

A very clever article (as ever) from Sara on how to ensure the content you create is accessible through RSS feeds and Reader modes (and a host of other …

After over a decade on the platform, the time has come to step away from Twitter, likely for good. What a shame.

After a month on the Fediverse, what parts have I grown to love, which parts would I like to see changed, and what has surprised me the most.

Want to read Tweets from people you follow, without using Twitter? Readwise has a tool for that.

Ashur has voiced something I've been doing for years: feed readers may be efficient, but that efficiency robs websites of their individuality. I've long had sites that I subscribe to but …

I think automatically pumping every article saved to Readwise through an LLM is a bad idea. Luckily, you can turn that feature off!

Have you noticed something a little bit different around here?
