It's been a few years since I built my website using Jekyll. It's starting to get stale. I learned a lot about IndieWeb while setting up, so I don't regret using it!

But the overhead of the build is starting to get to me. Longing for something that I perceive as simpler - paid services like micro.blog or omg.lol - or maybe 11ty. Not sure I can give up control to a paid service for my main site.

Is anyone working on some kind of "web of trust" system for the indie web? Some kind of way to promote high quality sites you like and blacklist sites that are AI spam or SEO garbage.

New search engines are one step, but it would be cool if we could crowdsource good/bad site recommendations then use that to improve finding new sites. Also a way to discourage bad actors and make others aware of it.

How to get my blog updates in a feed that contains only what you want to see.

1) get a free RSS reader app. If you're on iOS, NetNewsWire and feeeed is good. on Android, feeder. On desktop; Lifrea or Fluent (there are many others).
2) copy paste this link:
honora.neocities.org/RSS.xml
3) Click "new" and paste it in your RSS reader.
4) you now receive a link to my blog posts with a short preview of what it's about, and a link to the full post.

(I finally figured it out!).

tl;dr - I did lots of stuff, really enjoyed my time, and plan to continue learning and growing

Fractal Kitty · Time at the Recurse CenterIn January, I kicked off a journey of reflection and growth at the Recurse Center (RC) – a retreat where you work at the edge of your abilities with wonderful peers to pair program, study with, and grow. My goals in participating were to learn and play with different programming languages,

Hello IndieWeb

This is it: My first blogpost is online. And with it my brand new personal website.

It took me quite a while to get to this point since I started over a couple of times. But I really enjoyed the process of tinkering around and exploring how my website will look. It is not finished yet but I am letting it out in the IndieWeb: Why wait, it will evolve over time anyhow.

I’m looking forward connecting with you folks.
