This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
Mozilla Developer Network is a web development resource with detailed overviews, tutorials, reference guides on various subjects from HTML to HTTP headers.
IndieWeb Examples
- MDN has a microformats page that introduces readers to microformats and how to start using them: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/microformats.
Brainstorming
Contributions
capjamesg, Tantek Γelik and edgeduchess had a discussion about contributing IndieWeb guides to MDN on January 28, 2021. Explaining what these contributions would achieve, edgeduchess said:
For the usage, I consult MDN a lot when I'm implementing anything. For example, if I were implementing Webmentions for my blog and saw a MDN link, that's the first thing I would click on. First of all cause I can trust that MDN explanations are usually good and to the point, providing a nice, understandable overview. But also, because if something is on MDN I know I can trust it as a standard.
After being prompted about how to make potential MDN contributions distinct from what we already have on the IndieWeb and/or microformats wiki, Tantek Γelik said:
MDN: very focused web developer perspective brief definition, use-cases, and how-to, with very good copywriting / copyediting, no "messy" or "unstructured" / in-progress content, and links to the official spec (on microformats wiki) and the IndieWeb community "discussion" page as well
Advantages
Contributing IndieWeb tutorials to MDN may help us raise awareness for the stable standards that we are using in the community such as Webmentions and IndieAuth.
Starting Points
capjamesg has volunteered to write a guide for MDN on Webmentions. This guide would touch on:
- What is webmentions?
- Why should you use webmentions on a website?
- How to start receiving webmentions
- How to start sending webmentions
- Where to learn more
Other good starting points include:
- IndieAuth
- Micropub
- add more...
