Not long now till you'll be able to hear me talking about the #IndieWeb at tonight's #TechNott - hope to see some of you there to learn what it is, why some of us want to own our data and be our own platforms, and more!

Looking forward to talking about all things #IndieWeb, owning your data, and some of the cool open standards and tech we've worked on to take back a bit of control 🤓

What in particular are you finding difficult? I'm running a Hugo site and have quite a few #IndieWeb integrations

I'm quite heavily into the IndieWeb movement, in which we've designed a new standard Microsub which allows for a slightly better API than "regular" RSS/Atom readers, as it allows for you to use different feed formats on the backend. It also splits between the client and the server quite nicely, so I can use Indigenous for Android when on the move, and Monocle when I'm on the desktop. The best thing about the standard, aside from allowing extensible feed parsing, is that I can use different clients to read it, instead of relying on a single provider - which I believe we've seen with some of the RSS/Atom readers around currently.

The server I use is Aperture, built and run by Aaron Parecki, and I subscribe to a mix of RSS/Atom, JSON Feed and Microformats2 feeds
