From IndieWeb

I have started a website based on a conversation in the Le Petit Cafe one day after a Toastmasters meeting. Since I was never a fan of most social media, this has generally be my most active internet presence I ever had.

I count my attendance at the Düsseldorf IndieWeb camp as my entry to the IndieWeb.

IndieWeb Things I Am Thinking Of

Who wants a personal website and why?

One thing I am thinking of is who would want to be the part of the wider indie web and what are their reasons for coming there. Based just on my vibes so far, but I don't think we are presenting personal websites in a way that would be interesting to people that don't want to tinker. I don't really have well developed ideas for this yet.

My IndieWeb Tech Projects

Movie Project

I got inspired by benji's idea to create the movie overview page. I periodically scrape the sites of people that gave me permission for this. And then I show the overview of all the movies these people posted that they have watched on their site.

AO3 RSS Feed

Alex had once asked me, if it would be possible to do automatic the posting of AO3 comments on the personal site. I am still working on this. Very Slowly, but I did not give up yet. :)

In doing this, I now have the API endpoint, which can aggregate the public stories for any connection of tags. And not just for the one tag at the time, as the AO3 supports from the box. You can do this by adding the AO3 link to nay page with works after https://api.sarajaksa.eu/ao3/rss/ . To subscribe to my stories, one would need to call https://api.sarajaksa.eu/ao3/rss/https://archiveofourown.org/users/sarajaksa/works .

Books metadata API

For my own purposes, I also provide the API endpoint, that check for the data on a couple of different places and return what they find.

Currently one can search for covers based on either: - ISBN or Cobiss ID: http://api.sarajaksa.eu/book/cover/978-4-08-882855-8 - book metadata based on the ISBN http://api.sarajaksa.eu/book/isbn/978-1-63632-040-3 - or book metadata based on the Cobiss URL http://api.sarajaksa.eu/book/cobiss/https://plus.cobiss.net/cobiss/si/sl/bib/134481155

Cobiss is the electronic system used by the libraries in Slovenian and a couple of other Balkan countries. If you are not from there, then just ignore that part of it.

Communication

I list all the ways you can contact me on my website, which is linked to on the side. I tend to have a bit slower answering time, but I try to answer everything. I am open to things from random chats, links that you think I would find interesting, flames, questions, discussion prompts and nay kind of help with either tech or non-tech (like help with brainstorming what to blog about or so forth).
