Group demo
A group demo with 
Ben Werdmüller (https://werd.io/), 
Aaron Parecki, (https://aaronparecki.com/), and 
Kyle Mahan, (https://kylewm.com, unfortunately now a zombie site)
- hi everyone - I'm Ben Werdmüller - my website is werd.io which took me a year to realise people saw as weirdo
- I am going to post a short note: http://werd.io/2016/really-happy-to-be-here-at-indiewebsummit
- so I have a bookmarklet in the browser that lets me reply to ben by clicking a link: https://aaronparecki.com/2016/06/04/8/
- and now you can see that my reply shows up on his site too: http://werd.io/2016/really-happy-to-be-here-at-indiewebsummit
- I post other things on my site, eg last nights sleep: https://aaronparecki.com/2016/06/04/3/ so you can see I may be a bit cranky today
- I also post my cycle rides: https://aaronparecki.com/rides
- shows sleep, coffee, bicycling, running tracking on his site
- I'm going to reply on my site and link to aaron's, but not share it to twitter this time http://werd.io/2016/aw-i-miss-riding-bikes
- I'm not logging bike rides, but I am going to check in here: http://werd.io/2016/checked-into-vadio-1 and could share to foursquare
- the idea here is to make owning my own social content seamless, so I don't have to think about it
- I have to think about it when I'm writing @withknown, but if you install code you shouldn't have to
- now we shouldn't need to check each others' websites all the time to see if they have posted, but Kyle Mahan has an answer
- I want to show https://woodwind.xyz/ which is a reader that I wrote for other people's websites
- It shows them as a timeline, and has blogposts, short notes, replies and so on
- here's a video that emma posted a few days ago, and I can repost that on my site https://kylewm.com/2016/06/repost-of-emma-kuo-alankara-jazzy-d-higher-love-fender
- I can also like things, and reply
- and my repost shows up on Emma's site too (Archived)
- You can subscribe to indieweb sites that use microfromats for markup, or sites that use older feeds in Atom and RSS
- part of using the indieweb seamlessly is being able to post from anywhere so I'm posting from my phone (twitter.com/_/status/739151187518361601)
- I'm going to post an audio file I recorded earlier via my phone http://werd.io/2016/im-a-bear
- once it is posted it can be seen anywhere from mobile or desktop browser
- one of the things I want to do is video, though doing that with a web browser is hard.
- because I have an iphone I can't let you record audio from a web browser, but working on making that better
- I want to show you more about how my reply worked. I don't have a posting ui on my website
- I use woodwid,xyz, but mainly use https://quill.p3k.io/ which is a micropub client I wrote I log in with indieauth
- That worked almost too well - I was already logged in so it just worked. let me log out and show the process
- so when I am asked to login I get an indieauth prompt asking for posting permissions via micropub
Q&A:
- q: if you have static files built from a static site generator, can you still use micropub?
- Aaron Parecki: yes you can because people have built tools that let you post to git from micropub
- Ben Werdmüller: you can just use wordpress and add indieweb plugins, or you can use https://withknown.com/
Tantek Çelik: I'd like to introduce David Shanske and
Will Norris who have made wordpress work
- Aaron Parecki: there are also tools so you can add webmention support even to a static site
- Tantek Çelik: all of these sites added indieweb features one at a time, and each one gets you something
- Tantek Çelik: every thing you do give you one feature - it's not a giant computer sciency stack that requires you change it all
Shane Becker: you are using http and html on your site already, and all these tools and components built on this
- Aaron Parecki: what happens if you post a comment and it ends up in these sites, how do you update or delete?
- Aaron Parecki: the webmention spec includes a way to propagate updates and deletes, and tests for that at https://webmention.rocks/
- Kyle Mahan: updating text is just sending a webmention again, as the URL is the identifier
- My demo of voice bot is using chrome for voice inout and rules on the backend to respond. no machine learning
- I do want to have posts that only certain people can see - Ben Werdmüller and Shane Becker have this
- comments that are partially private are harder to share
- if you're trying to implement POSSE, how do you do that? Quill just tells your micropub endpoint what to do
- one way to POSSE is to use brid.gy Publish by adding links which bridgy fills in
- the other is silo.pub which give a common micropub api to multiple silos in a standard form
Eric Drechsel
- My site is http://eric.pdxhub.org and it is built from github
- I use hypothes.is to annotate other websites, which goes into a silo
- this weekend I am working on camlistore which is good at sucking data in from lots of places
- I want to integrate these indieweb protocols with camlistore this weekend
Erik Moeller
- My site is http://intelligentdesigns.net/ and I want to show off https://freeyourstuff.cc/ to bring your stuff from silos
- uses your own login as a browser plugin and pull down just your stuff
- what I'm working on right now is a way to bring your reviews back to your site
Emma
- notenoughneon.com (Archived)
- my site is notenoughneon.com and @notenoughneon everywhere
- I use Quill for posting - I don't have my own publishing interface and bridgy publish to posse to twitter,facebook
- so here's my post, (Archived) can you reply to that on your own site or twitter
- this posting through my backend to s3 and github
- this uses a technique called PURL which uses the HTML of the posts as a content store (Archived)
- my site is powered by Skein. It's open source: https://github.com/notenoughneon/skein
Salt
Wm Salt Hale- My website is http://www.altsalt.net indieweb is very new to me, but I've worked on my web site for decades
- I started implementing h-entry stuff, but i want to show how I point my links to my profiles
- all his social media profile links, go through a personal redirect on his site
- which turns out to be an issue with indieauth
- so he added an invisible <link> to get it working so he could sign-in and RSVP
- I route profile links through a short link on my own site, but indieauth doesn't follow links like that
Shane Becker
- Shane Becker
- Who has deployed something to heroku? my url is http://veganstraightedge.com
- I'm building software for myself called darkmatter and github is still a lot of stuff
- heroku shipped a feature called a deploy hook - link to http://deploy.herokuapp.com/ from a github repo to deploy
- I have a link on my site that lets you deploy your own darkmatter instance
- here's my talk on dark matter: http://veganstraightedge.com/articles/2016/05/12/dark-matter-and-the-indieweb
- Additional Dark Matter links for anyone interested: http://darkmatterapp.com https://github.com/darkmatterapp/publisher-server-rails https://twitter.com/DarkMatterAppCo
Will Norris
- Will Norris
- My site is https://willnorris.com/ - there's a soccer player in England called Will Norris and he can't get any url
- I use jekyll as my personal site - I ddin't to anything fancy - I author all my posts in vim and push markdown
- I have a little command line tool for inserting timestamps and one to insert the epoch as a newbase60
- I do git push live to create the post - here it is https://willnorris.com/2016/06/indieweb-demo
- and I have a command line tool to send the webmentions from the link in my post
- I'm using bridgy to do my outbound posse and it is very manual
- I've built a lot of go libraries - the go webmention library includes this command line tool
- so you don't need a lot of infrastructure to get up and running
David Shanske
- my site is https://david.shanske.com - I do a lot of work on the wordpress indieweb plugins
- this theme is called bearbones named after bear in the chatroom who complains about the sparsity of his design

- I need a platform to manage flow, relationships with people - a personal CRM that work when non-sighted
- "I have almost 500 contacts in my Gmail, not accessible to me."
- "I have files and files and files in Google Drive, where I started creating thoughts in 2010. And I can't access it. It works kinda janky. I don't think that's acceptable."
- I have hundreds of people in my contacts in gmail, and documents in gdrive that are hard to get to
- there si a twitter app for the blind called chicken nugget https://q-continuum.net/chicken_nugget/
- with amazon, the screen reader reads everything twice as the image and the link both are marked up
- when blind people use a screen reader and go to your website the headers get read out twice
