Funny how building an ActivityPub plugin for #indiekit fully based on Fedify, migrating my Mastodon account to my own server @[email protected] and building my own UI to consume AP content from the #Fediverse made me use even more than before.

This post is simultaneously a blog post, an #ActivityPub object in the inbox of my followers and a syndicated post to Bluesky.

Next in line? getting inspired by #Wafrn and turn this indiekit/AP instance into my own #Bluesky Pds.

Two Microsub reader updates this week:

Feed type indicators — each feed now shows its type (RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, h-feed) as a badge, and subscribing to a feed that already exists in another channel returns a clear error instead of silently creating a duplicate. URL normalization catches trailing slash and http/https variants.

Mark source as read — the mark-as-read button is now a split button. The main action marks a single item, but a dropdown caret reveals “Mark {source name} as read” — which bulk-marks all items from that feed in one click. Cards animate out smoothly. Handy when a noisy feed floods a channel and you want to clear it without losing items from other sources.

Both features work in the channel view and the unified timeline view. https://github.com/rmdes/indiekit-endpoint-microsub

• Copied from Cloudron — fixes redirect URI validation that rejected hyphens/dots in paths

Indiekit beta 27 is out! Thanks @paulrobertlloyd!

#Indieweb #indiekit #nodejs

My blog is WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant… in theory.
Excuse my ignorance but how do I test it to make sure it works for impaired people?

Dev Log: 27 commits across 5 plugins to improve my blog

🎉 I’ve added a new Featured section to my homepage.

I can now mark articles as featured directly from the Indiekit backend, and my Indiekit homepage plugin automatically renders them on the frontend.

The plugin exposes Eleventy data sources that I can reuse to build different widgets or page sections.
This means the backend acts as a small control panel where I can decide what appears where:

In short, I can manage featured content and page sections without touching the frontend code.
