How to build a website for the IndieWeb

09:2015 mins09/11/2024

Have you ever heard of terms like POSSE, syndication, or webmention?
What about protocols like Web Sign-In or Micropub?
These terms are all connected to the IndieWeb, a community of websites built on open standards and open source technologies.

In today’s digital age, our online content and identities are more important than ever. Relying on random companies and social networks to manage them isn’t ideal. Instead, we should take control of our online presence by building our own website for the IndieWeb.

In this talk, you’ll learn how to:

1. Publish content on your website via a Micropub server.
2. Syndicate that content elsewhere (i.e., republish it on another website).
3. Gather comments from social networks and display them on your website.

We will achieve all of this using a static website and a few open-source tools.
