Planning is underway for an IndieWebCamp Nuremburg for 2023. Tentatively scheduled for October 28th and 29th, it will be adjacent to the border:none conference, which is celebrating its 10 year anniversary. --- Here is a brief summary of posts collected this week by IndieNews, a community-curated list of articles relevant to the IndieWeb. You can read more, or submit posts of your own, at news.indieweb.org. Ryan at snarfed.org posted "Bridgy stats update". In it, Ryan summarizes the last year of traffic and development activity for Bridgy and it's federation-based sibling Bridgy Fed. Bridgy, which syndicates content to and from social silos, saw a huge drop in activity with Twitter's new restrictive API changes. Bridgy Fed, which allows IndieWeb-friendly sites to interact with "fediverse" sites through protocols like ActivityPub, saw some major development time and increases in activity. --- And now, a selection of this week's updates from indieweb.org. # New Community Members If you haven't already, now is a good time to create your own user page. It's a great way to introduce yourself to the IndieWeb community, and to collect the things that you are working on, or want to work on, for your personal website. For more details, visit indieweb.org/wikifying. # Community and Concepts How much does your personal site reflect what you do in the physical world? Each person may have different considerations for whether and how much to share public appearances, speaking engagements, event attendance, and more. # Services and Organizations The IndieWeb urges you to treat your personal site as the center of your online identity, while keeping in mind that you may be active on any number of other sites you don't control. How do you decide when and how to link from your site to your presence elsewhere? # IndieWeb Development Single-Page Apps, or SPAs, push all of the logic of a web application into the user's browser via Javascript. This structure also requires your app to handle features that would otherwise be provided by the browser, such as link navigation and routing. The result can be slow to load, brittle, and error-prone. So, before building an SPA, be sure to consider alternatives and make sure your application's features cannot be delivered any other way. As always, you can follow the links in the newsletter to learn more about and add detail to any of these concepts. --- That's going to do it for this week. Thank you for listening!
