How rewriting my blog software accidentally led me to the IndieWeb.

Thomas Ricouard is joining OpenAI. Thomas worked on the Medium iOS app, Ice Cubes for Mastodon (written in SwiftUI), and Codex Monitor. From a thread on Twitter / X:

I also can’t wait to bring my iOS and macOS expertise to help shape the Codex experience around those platforms.

He appears to have stopped posting to the fediverse. It’s too bad the AI community is so entrenched on Twitter / X.

Finally posted Jottit to Hacker News today. Was genuinely nervous about it. Spent ages on the wording.

90 minutes later: zero points.

I'm laughing at myself. All that build-up for nothing. Going to try again tomorrow.

I'm loving this month's IndieWeb Carnival blogging focus, museums (https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Carnival) with @capjamesg hosting it. His introduction is quite good: https://jamesg.blog/2026/03/01/indieweb-carnival-museum-memories

This took me down a bit of a rabbit hole as I have an affinity for museums (I initially was thinking just art museums, but I disabused myself of that quickly). I may have more than one post on museums, but the precursor is up https://vanderwal.net/random/entrysel.php?blog=2137

@elmine Dat zouden meer websites mogen zijn. Ik weet je motivatie tot verandering niet, maar hoe mooi zou het zijn als we meer websites krijgen met een eigen identiteit en eigenaardigheden. #indieweb

First vouched webmention



Yesterday I received my first vouched webmention!

  1. Jeff Bridgforth wrote a post for the IndieWeb carnival, where he links to my post.

  2. His website sent my website a webmention.

  3. Normally this would go into a queue for verification. But, because I follow James in my blogroll, and becaus…

When there have been repeated investigations that show that engagement is driven by negative emotion, how can you trust the algorithm to show you content you like, instead of content that will keep you clicking more?
Switching to subscribing to RSS feeds is not a definitive cure. But it’s a step towards a more independent digital consumption.

#ActivityPub support in #Madblog

https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/Madblog-federated-blogging-from-markdown

I am glad to announce that Madblog has now officially joined the #Fediverse family.

Madblog has already supported #Webmentions for the past couple of weeks, allowing your blog posts to be mentioned by other sites with Webmentions support (WordPress, Lemmy, HackerNews…) and get those mentions directly rendered on your page.

It now adds ActivityPub support too, using #Pubby, another little Python library that I’ve put together myself (just like Webmentions) as a mean to quickly plug ActivityPub support to any Python Web app.

Webmentions and Pubby follow similar principles and implement a similar API, and you can easily use them to add federation support to your existing Web applications - a single bind_webmentions or bind_activitypub call to your existing Flask/FastAPI/Tornado application should suffice for most of the cases.

Madblog may have now become the easiest way to publish a federated blog - and perhaps the only way that doesn’t require a database, everything is based on plain Markdown files.

If you have a registered domain and a certificate, then hosting your federated blog is now just a matter of:

mkdir -p ~/madblog/markdown

cat <<EOF > ~/madblog/markdown/hello-world.md


This is my first post on [Madblog](https://git.fabiomanganiello.com/madblog)!

EOF


docker run -it \

  -p 8000:8000 \

  -v "$HOME/madblog:/data" \

  quay.io/blacklight/madblog

And Markdown files can be hosted wherever you like - a Git folder, an Obsidian Vault, a Nextcloud Notes installation, a folder on your phone synchronized over SyncThing…

Federation support is also at a quite advanced state compared to e.g. #WriteFreely. It currently supports:

  • Interactions rendered on the articles: if you like, boost, quote or reply to an article, all interactions are rendered directly at the bottom of the article (interactions with WriteFreely through federated accounts were kind of lost in the void instead)

  • Guestbook support (optional): mentions to the federated Madblog handle that are not in response to articles are now rendered on a separate /guestbook route

  • Email notifications: all interactions can have email notifications

  • Support for quotes, also on Mastodon

  • Support for mentions, just drop a @joe@example.com in your Markdown file and Joe will get a notification

  • Support for hashtag federation

  • Support for split-domain configurations, you can host your blog on blog.example.com but have a Fediverse handle like @blog@example.com. Search by direct post URL on Mastodon will work with both cases

  • Support for custom profile fields, all rendered on Mastodon, with verification support

  • Support for moderation, either through blocklist or allowlist, with support for rules on handles/usernames, URLs, domains or regular expressions

  • A partial (but comprehensive for the provided features) implementation of the Mastodon API

If you want you can follow both the profiles of my blogs - they are now both federated:

  • My personal blog: @fabio (it used to run WriteFreely before, so if you followed it you may need to unfollow it and re-follow it)

  • The #Platypush blog: @blog

I was recently interviewed by the wonderful @Sam@ethicalrevolution for NHAM about music, the indie-web, The Kalimera Show, spirituial vampires and such like. Was an absolutely plesasure!

NHAM do brilliant work bringing attention to indie music makers and very happy to have been asked to contribute.

Also be sure to check out the archive and other features, it's a very cool site.

Greetings, folks

A new button arrived :blobcatcoffee: to celebrate the oldies of the Wild Wide Web

Two versions are available — neutral (here since) and for rightfully opinionated ones (complaining since) :blobcatcoy:

https://backyardtinker.bearblog.dev/cataminated/

AND it's a GIF by default. I tried uploading here but each time it was in crappy quality :blobcatohno:

@admin @TheyOfHIShirts

I am not opposed to this phoenix cycle, so long as it is building on the previous work and not redesigning the UI.

Yes, it would be great if someone financially backed a dedicated FLOSSy team project for decades. France and Germany have begun to do so; maybe it will become stylish again.

In the meantime, the #indieweb encourages us to tinker, to build our own if we want, and to share, collaborate.

Simplified my blogroll a bit. It is no longer a periodically updated list of posts. It is now just a static list of websites. It may sound like a step backward but it removes a few moving parts and simplifies the website setup.

My blogroll is perhaps the only page on my website where every link is purple for me. I visit them all.

There is also an OPML file at the end that provides a feed of all the websites in my blogroll.
