✍️ New post: Buckle Up
I recently added a “Failed Webmentions” view to my Craft CMS #Webmention plugin. Opened it before #IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf and found line after line of automated probing. Just shipped v1.3.0 to deal with it and wrote a bit about it:
I enjoyed reading James' post on the Indiewebcamp in Düsseldorf: https://jamesg.blog/2026/04/30/indiewebcamp-dusseldorf-2026
I also highly recommend checking the linked meeting notes on the wiki for website ideas: lots of interesting notions about what to put on your homepage, private posts etc. Seems like it was a great meetup.

Bit of a travel-heavy week. I flew back from Athens on Monday after DjangoCon Europe, then was off again on Tuesday morning—this time on the train to Brussels for a few days on-site. Spent the rest of the working week there, which was no hardship: the food was excellent, the beer was better, and the weather actually cooperated for once. Got home Friday evening, and the weekend wasn't exactly quiet either: Saturday and Sunday I was at IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf, which traditionally piggybacks on beyond tellerrand—usually the weekend right before or right after. This year it was right before. Really nice to see that crowd again. Open Source Despite all the travel, I managed to ship a few small things: Brought my django-indieweb package back into shape. It was overdue for some attention and IndieWebCamp was the perfect excuse. Cut a new release of django-cast. Fixed an issue in kptncook and pushed a new release while I was at it. And because I clearly don't have enough side projects, I also started a small benchmark repo for local LLMs. The main question I'm after: which backend is actually faster (or slower) on which hardware? Primary focus is Apple Silicon, but I'm also curious about smaller GPUs you can pick up cheaply. Very early days—but local models are getting noticeably better and more interesting at the moment, and it feels worth tracking properly.
@dletorey Lovely demo today of the changes on your site! I look forward to seeing your implementation of masonry grid layout. There's this experimental CSS for it but I don't think it is usable yet as no browser supports it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Grid_layout/Masonry_layout
I personally use a CSS-only carousel on my photo section... maybe it would be nice to offer a masonry / grid view?
I'll be keeping an eye on your site ;) Thanks again for sharing at #indiewebcamp, Dave! PS I like the blog post about the event too.
It's a wrap! https://aprilscable.neocities.org/nes2

It's the final stretch of Day 2 (Create Day) of the 2-day #indiewebcamp. It's been inspiring to see such a creative and skilled bunch of individuals all passionate about websites. I'm honoured and grateful to be part of it! There will be a demo/show-and-tell session soon where everyone will share what they worked on today. Can't wait! 👍
