The IndieWeb is a community of independent and personal websites connected by simple standards, based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary identity, publishing on your own site (optionally syndicating elsewhere), and owning your data. Read more →

Beyond Blogging and Decentralization
The IndieWeb effort is different from previous efforts/communities:
- Principles over project-centrism. Others assume a monoculture of one project for all. We are developing a plurality of projects. The IndieWeb community has a code-of-conduct.
- Publish on your site instead of emailing a list. Show before tell. Prioritize by making what you need, creating, iterating on your own site.
- Design first, protocols and formats second. Focus on creating a good user experience and using your own prototype features to create minimum necessary formats and protocols.
Perhaps most importantly, we are people-focused instead of project-focused, and have regular meetups where everyone is welcome.
