modularity

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

modularity is one of the IndieWeb principles, sometimes expressed as “Build platform agnostic platforms”, that advocates designing and building modular code and services composed of pieces that can be swapped to reduce dependencies on a particular device, language, API, storage model, or platform.

Modularity increases the chance that at least some of it can and will be re-used, improved, which you can then reincorporate. AKA building-blocks. AKA "small pieces loosely joined".
