Feeds

A little while back, Marcus Herrmann wrote about making RSS more visible again with a /feeds page. Here’s his feeds page. Here’s Remy’s.

Seems like a good idea to me. I’ve made mine:

adactio.com/feeds

As well as linking to the usual RSS feeds (blog posts, links, notes), it’s also got an explanation of how you can subscribe to a customised RSS feed using tags.

Then, earlier today, I was chatting with Matt on Twitter and he asked:

btw do you share your blogroll anywhere?

So now I’ve added another URL:

adactio.com/feeds/subscriptions

That’s got a link to my OPML file, exported from my feed reader, and a list of the (current) RSS feeds that I’m subscribed to.

I like the idea of blogrolls making a comeback. And webrings.

Soy fan de los feeds, son una excelente manera de organizar el contenido que consumo, y me gusta como están obteniendo más atención; esta semana @adactio escribió un poco sobre esto https://adactio.com/journal/17095. Necesitamos más feeds.

Esto lo empece a escribir en Julio, y se me ha ido quedando en draft.

Entre Abril y Mayo de 2020 migré el sitio de un Drupal 7 que estaba hospedado en un shared hosting a Gatsby hospedado en Vercel. La parte más dolorosa fue crear los archivos Markdown usando el contenido del blog y no perder las URLs.

Parte de la motivación de migrar fue aprender más de Gatsby, pero también alejarme más de Twitter e Instagram, Facebook prácticamente no lo utilizo así que, no me importa. Cuando digo “alejarme” no me refiero necesariamente a dejar de usarlas (deberia!?), sino a publicar menos ahí y más aquí, y no pensar nunca en que pasará cuando las cierren, como podré exportar el contenido que me importa y como evitar que se pierda, y claro, como dejar de usar los productos de Zuck.

Mi contenido me importa a mí.

Desde el 2009 adquirí, si se puede decir eso, el dominio leivajd.com; la primera version del sitio fue en WordPress, la segunda en Drupal y ahora Gatsby. Por una mala migración perdí todo el contenido entre 2009 y 2012, a nadie le importa, pero a mi sí. Nadie lo lee, ni yo, pero esta es mi manera de llevar un registro y documentar las cosas que voy aprendiendo, leyendo, al fin, compartiendo.

Esta necesidad de seguir publicando, no perder y controlar más mi contenido me recordó un concepto que habia leído hace un par de años en un post de Jeremy Keith, IndieWeb.

Qué es?

Definión en el sitio oficial:

The IndieWeb is a community of individual personal websites, connected by simple standards, based on the principles of owning your domain, using it as your primary identity, to publish on your own site (optionally syndicate elsewhere), and own your data.

Muchos conceptos, pero en sencillo es: tener un dominio y un sitio web. Podemos ir un poco, ó mucho, más allá usando los building blocks y convertir nuestro sitio web en una red social de la que tenemos control completo.

Estado actual

Asi estoy a Enero 2021:

Próximos proyectos

Algunos features que quiero agregar a este sitio; me falta priorizar y ver cuales se sobreponen.

  • Mostrar la fecha de la ultima actualización hecha a un post.
  • Publicar en el sitio fotos, links y notes sin necesidad de crear el markdown “manualmente”, ojala tener un form o similar para publicaciones cortas.
  • Enviar Webmentions.
  • Sindicar on demand contenido a Twitter.
  • Publicar on demand fotos ó notas a Twitter/Instagram.
  • Publicar tweets desde el sitio.
  • Publicar respuestas a tweets desde el sitio.
  • Mostar en cada post el link de donde se sindico.
  • Crear una sección Now
  • Crear una con los feeds, https://adactio.com/journal/17095
  • Agregar un blog roll.
  • Recibir Webmentios (no estoy tan seguro de esto).
  • Migrar a Eleventy :D

Curation is the last best hope of intelligent discourse. — Joan Westenberg

The return of RSS and POSSE points to a revival of the personal website ecosystem that thrived in the early blog era. Writers, researchers, technologists and more are relaunching their independent homepages, complete with feeds, as both a public notebook and a channel for sharing insights. The personal website is the ultimate sovereign territory online, enabling creators to share content on their own terms.

I feel like Joan Westenberg has come up with the perfect tag line for personal websites (emphasis mine):

By passing high-quality, human-centric content through their own lens of discernment before syndicating it to social networks, these curators create islands of sanity amidst oceans of machine-generated content of questionable provenance.

“You can be a carpenter this time around.” – Lucy Bellwood

A personal website is a lovely thing. Nobody will buy this platform and use it as their personal plaything. No advertisers will boycott and send me scrambling to produce different content. No seed funding will run out overnight.

Stumbling – Lucy Bellwood

Our footpaths converged around the same 5-10 platforms, each with its own particular manner of communication. I have learned, unintentionally, to code switch every time I craft a new post. It’s exhausting, trying to keep track of all those unspoken rules shaped by years of use.

But I don’t have rules like that on my blog. I turned off stats. There are no comments. No likes.

A rant from Robin. I share his frustration and agree with his observations.

I wonder how we can get the best of both worlds here: the ease of publishing newsletters, with all the beauty and archivability of websites.

Laura Kalbag – Insecure

The web can be used to find common connections with folks you find interesting, and who don’t make you feel like so much of a weirdo. It’d be nice to be able to do this in a safe space that is not being surveilled.

Owning your own content, and publishing to a space you own can break through some of these barriers. Sharing your own weird scraps on your own site makes you easier to find by like-minded folks. If you’ve got no tracking on your site (no Google Analytics etc), you are harder to profile. People can’t come to harass you on your own site if you do not offer them the means to do so
