What is this?#
The IndieWeb is built on the principals of:
- Own your domain & data. Your identity, your content, your metadata.
- Use & publish visible data for humans first, machines second. See also DRY.
- Make what you need. Make tools, templates, etc. for yourself first, not for all of your friends or ”everyone“.
- and more…
