@sawv great, great post! Welcome to the IndieWeb. A bunch of us also hang out in IRC/Slack – chat.indieweb.org
@cleverdevil Thanks. I've been following the IndieWeb, since July 2013. Occasionally, I drop into the IRC chat and observe. I implemented IndieWeb concepts in my current web pub app. Last summer, I created a test, forum-like website where all new thread starter posts and comments are Webmentions.
