<h1>I just found out about the IndieWeb</h1>
|
||
<p>I’m learning a lot about the IndieWeb, or the personal web or
|
||
wherever terminology you like best. To get quick examples of what it can
|
||
be, check out Marginalia’s site explorer. i’m also finding out about
|
||
webrings and webmentions which sound very cool, i might implement the
|
||
latter here some day i’m not too lazy.</p>

|
||
<p>This idea of a smol web, I was already kinda part of it without
|
||
knowing. That’s because I was exposed to gemini a few years ago and I
|
||
loved it. I made a capsule and a website. To stay consistent with the
|
||
idea of simplicity that i liked, I build the website from the gemtext
|
||
files I wrote for Gemini using a tool I wrote myself. I’m not saying
|
||
that for bragging purposes but because the specs for gemtext are very
|
||
easy to understand and parse. I wouldn’t have done the same for
|
||
markdown, then I would just use the wonderful pandoc</p>
|
||
<p>but the IndieWeb is very diverse, there are people like me that stay
|
||
close to something very simplistic, minimalist even; and others are just
|
||
living their best 1990s life. Some people love GIFs, fancy fonts and
|
||
colorful page with an animated image as a background and others prefer
|
||
their pages less… Loaded. A very big advantage of a movement like the
|
||
IndieWeb over something like gemini is how personal you can make it,
|
||
there is a customizability that is just not available with Gemini (it’s
|
||
on purpose that Gemini doesn’t do that).</p>
|
||
<p>There’s a lot to love about Gemini and there’s a lot not to love too.
|
||
The barrier to entry is too high for someone that is not a tech
|
||
enthusiast. My family will sooner find how to host a website than a
|
||
gemini capsule. I won’t add much to this discussion but i will link some
|
||
articles i found interesting</p>
