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. Show before tell. Prioritize by making what you need, creating, iterating on your site.
- Design first, protocols and formats second. Focus on creating a good user experience and using your own prototype features to focus on minimum necessary formats and protocols.
Perhaps most importantly, we are people-focused instead of project-focused. We have regular meetups. All are welcome. You don't need to have a website to join, but you should be interested in personal websites!
