A note taking problem and a proposed solution by

tl;dr
It’s too painful to quickly get frequent notes into note taking and related platforms. Hypothes.is has an open API and a great UI that can be leveraged to simplify note taking processes.
Note taking tools
I’ve been keeping notes in systems like OneNote and Evernote for ages, but for my mem…

Chris gives some familiar issues with notetaking and the tools that come with it. I read about the hypothesis every now and again. I might have to try it with the suggestions Chris gives.

I am less active too right now, in the sense of building anything or attending events.
But I hope that just regularly posting and being visible as part of the wider IndieWeb is a useful contribution, too.

Thanks for your reply Neil. It immediately shows how fragile the WordPress ecosystem is with Indieweb plugins. Since I use the Genesis framework, somehow the Microformats are not working properly. In your article it shows you reply to “a post” when instead it should show the title and the author when possible. It only does…

Mozilla must survive by

Ben Werdmüller (werd.io)

Firefox matters. The other major browsers are all subject to a larger corporation’s business interests: Safari is built in the context of the App Store, Chrome must support Google’s ad targeting business, and Edge fills a gap in the Windows ecosystem. But Firefox is here to fight for the users: it s…

Automatically Destroy IndieAuth Tokens by Jan Boddez (jan.boddez.net)

If you’re running WordPress and use the wonderful IndieAuth plugin to issue tokens for all of your IndieWeb services, here’s how you can automatically invalidate—destroy, in fact—these tokens.
Why? Some applications will automatically log you out after an hour or so, and request you again au…

In XKCD comic 1357, “Free Speech”, Randall Munroe offers a characteristically concise and snappy summary of one of the canonical arguments about free expression: “The right to fre…

Cory Doctorow weet in zijn artikelen op Locus Magazine vaak een treffende analogie te vinden voor de situatie waar we ons (online) in verkeren. In dit essay legt hij de problematiek van Big Tech uit aan de hand van twee restaurants in de stad. Eén met de regel dat er niet over politiek wordt gesproken,…
