Notes

https://indieweb.org/posts#Types_of_Posts

Tumblr pioneered different content types

Stories - https://indieweb.org/story

Instagram as a source of design patterns

• primacy of the image
• a little bit of social decoration
• see people browsing through images on Instagram
• sometimes there's long blocks of text / stories attached to their images. e.g. guy running through Italy, it's his blog

Lily's example of anomalily.world - showed a subset of her indieweb posts, the map to the photos

irakli: perhaps the consumer of the content can choose how to see it, example of beaker/dat where the code to view it can be forked separately from the data

The reader can show photos vs articles

What about map posts?

Google doesn't always have the 7 attributes of maps

https://indieweb.org/map - could be improved

• "don't embed google maps, because you are enabling privacy exposure of your users"

• tos;dr
• js;dr - https://indieweb.org/js;dr

javascript problems - provides too much access to local information, allows tracking of all keystrokes, or heatmap tracking

UI for putting content out into the world e.g. Medium

https://indieweb.org/create for examples
