https://schmarty.net/stickpix
had his goal of a Micropub Snapchatesque filter app called Stickpix
Marty is a bunny on screen.
he added a button called snap it, it creates an image tag in the page using a data url you can right click, view it if you want, save it to your computer
Halfway to putting it in a micropub client

teonbrooks.github.io is now https://teonian.com and it is https
GWG The other thing is that...visiting Indiewebify.me....the site has an h-card works.

https://dmitri.shuralyov.com
He uses Github as his login provider, but wanted to try to add IndieAuth.
Now, on his staging instance, via Indielogin.com, he is letting people login via their website.
Learned a lot about IndieAuth, but needs cleanup before deployment

Tantek Çelik, https://tantek.com
First, we are visiting event
He has done things on the wiki
First, he had difficulty figuring out what to do, so he braindumped ideas about events
He added notes on better support for invitations and who is attending an event in the brainstorming section, working backward from what it would look like when it reached twitter
Considering adding in the next iteration fun icons
Hopes to automatically add invitees and such
Then, started working on how to generate invitations and documented existing examples.
Did not come to a conclusion, but made progress.
In the last 30 minutes, he tried to add something to his website...
Added a webmention form "Got an Indie RSVP" on his event pages
He only shows the form on events as he doesn't show webmentions otherwise

dougbeal, https://dougbeal.com
Demoing remotely
He has a WordPress site
He keeps forgetting to add u-photo to his classes. He did it automatically
Trying to make HWC Seattle more often, so has a Hugo site for this. Has not yet deployed it
The URL will hopefully be indieweb.seattle.wa.us. He will apply for that. Until then: https://hwc.dougbeal.com

David Shanske, https://david.shanske.com
dev site https://wpdev.gwg.us/
shows location info in the sidebar. it's current! shows whether it's light out based on altitude, even.
also can show a tiny map!
also: a wordpress starter theme with microformats
also: downloaded an android app for adding EXIF metadata to images and then started working on making that metadata show up on his site.
went through three different plugins and made three different updates
can now take photo on his phone, add a description, then upload to his site from his phone.
uploads via micropub (indigenous). it used to strip metadata but no longer does.
his WP site saves that data before stripping it out for serving.
had one more stretch goal, multiple calendars. didn't make it.

Greg McVerry, https://jgregorymcverry.com/
has a /music/ URL on his site that ... is 404.
got rid of his file extensions in his URL
But is having subdirectory issues
He is superexcited, as he no longer has to manually add his header/footer/head to page...he has automated this.
Used Github actions to optimize images
Can share to demo this is...100% speedtest in Lighthouse; was at 98%
Inspired by attendee Nicole, he did something with bridgy that made him frustrated.
He is now going to publish using Bridgy. Made a note subdirectory, file for each day, ID
Then it says he has no microformats...but he does. Except he has an issue with HTML markup.
