What is the IndieWeb</a>?
The <dfn style="font-style:normal">IndieWeb is a people</a>-focused alternative to the "corporate web". <div style="width:72px;height:72px;float:left;background:hsla(36, 100%, 62%, 1); ;border-radius:50%;margin-right:20px;"><img alt="heart icon" src="https://indieweb.org/images/b/be/icon_4611_white.png" style="width:48px;margin-left:12px;margin-top:15px;" /> <h3 style="margin:0;padding:0;font-size:1em">Your content is yours When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control. <div style="width:72px;height:72px;float:left;background:hsla(36, 100%, 62%, 1); ;border-radius:50%;margin-right:20px;"><img alt="connected network icon" src="https://indieweb.org/images/5/56/icon_31635_white.png" style="width:48px;margin-left:12px;margin-top:13px;" /> <h3 style="margin:0;padding:0;font-size:1em">You are better connected Your articles and status messages can go to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place. <div style="width:72px;height:72px;float:left;background:hsla(36, 100%, 62%, 1); ;border-radius:50%;margin-right:20px;"><img alt="steering wheel icon" src="https://indieweb.org/images/e/ea/icon_2003_white.png" style="width:48px;margin-left:12px;margin-top:12px;" /> <h3 style="margin:0;padding:0;font-size:1em">You are in control You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas. These links are permanent and will always work.

Beyond Blogging and Decentralization
The IndieWeb effort is different from previous efforts/communities: Perhaps most importantly, we are people-focused instead of project-focused, and have regular meetups where everyone is welcome. <div style="background:hsla(21, 100%, 80%, 1); padding: 35px">
 * Principles over project-centrism. Others assume a monoculture of one project for all. We are developing a plurality of projects. The IndieWeb community has a code-of-conduct.
 * Selfdogfood instead of email. Show before tell. Prioritize by scratching your own itches, creating, iterating on your own site.
 * Design first, protocols & formats second. Focus on good UX & selfdogfood prototypes to create minimum necessary formats &amp; protocols.
