Tag indieweb
Very much looking forward to tonight's #TechNott, not least because it'll be the first meetup I'm owning every interaction first from my website in #IndieWeb fashion, as well as converting hashtags to tags on the posts themselves!

Automagically sending push notifications to my mobile phone when I receive a Webmention.
2018 in Review (25 mins read).

Tech and non-tech friends. Please watch The Circle (https://youtu.be/QCOXARv6J9k) for a great look at a not-so-distant future of tech, and the risks if not not kept in check. Very painful to watch as it's so close to reality
Setting up a Staging Server for my Micropub Endpoint (4 mins read).
Setting up a Micropub server that I can use to test changes before it publishes content to this site.
A good read by Terence about how the Semantic Web and using metadata (be it Schema.org, microdata or Microformats) will build a more usable and interconnected life
This is a great read about the things that being in the https://indieweb.org/ (Independent Web) can empower you with, and the ownership and agency that it affords you.
I'd recommend a read of https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ for a bit more info, too.
After seeing my Spotify Wrapped playlist for the year, and some of the usage stats, I think I'm definitely going to be writing an application to get that data out for myself and my own usages
Another reason folks should be part of the IndieWeb, not only owning your data but getting better SEO!
Sending Webmentions More Intelligently (2 mins read).
Updating my post-deployment tooling to only send Webmentions when they've not already been accepted (or rejected).
Validating my JSON Feed on every site build (2 mins read).
Adding in a validation in the pipeline to protect from a broken feed.
Welcome, Matt!
Thanks for blogging about your experiences, it's really great to see, especially because it was through me you've been interested in it!
I'd heavily recommend https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js/ by https://beesbuzz.biz/ as I currently use it on my site and love it because I don't need to rebuild my site to show new Webmentions, although it does mean that my viewers need client-side Javascript.
If you get a chance, come and talk to us on the IndieWeb chat (more details on https://indieweb.org/discuss )
Ditching Event Platforms for the IndieWeb (5 mins read).
How we can replace event platforms like Meetup.com with your own IndieWeb-backed platforms.

A huge milestone, and a great look back at the way Ton is helping to change the community for the better by promoting better practices on ownership of our data
A great writeup of what sounds like a great session!
Owning My Step Count (5 mins read).
Sharing the journey of starting to own my step counts and my technical solution.
The IndieWeb Movement: Owning Your Data and Being the Change You Want to See in the Web (22 mins read).
A look at what the IndieWeb is, why you should care, and how to get started with it.
This is a great article on why we can't just let Google Chrome / Chromium take over the Web, and need to fight for other alternatives.
But as well as looking at the browsers, we need to look to the platforms too. If everyone ie uses Twitter, then Twitter are less likely to make changes because no one has an alternative. Whereas when we have multiple viable options, folks can jump around and use better platforms if they exist.
The IndieWeb is looking to do this - check out https://indieweb.org/why for a bit more info
IndieWebCamp Amsterdam 2019 (19 mins read).

Proposing a Microformats2 Markup for Licensing Information (7 mins read).
Some recommendations for how to mark up licensing information with Microformats, for making license information machine-discoverable and machine-readable.
I think at https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2019/09/18/ tonight I'm going to write a how-to for setting up your first h-card, similar to https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/08/21/rsvp-from-your-website/
This is a great idea! I may have to look at the same.
I'm also hoping to start to start publishing from my site first and then having that send the tweet afterwards using https://brid.gy/
