Indieweb concepts are very cool. Indieweb concepts are very frustrating to implement. There needs to be an Indieweb ‘stack’ that is easy to install and provides auth, micropub, and webmention support. Extra points if it supports static blogging and is somewhat configurable.
@tgray About this time last year, @eli made the comment that “the majority of existing IndieWeb tech is squarely rooted in generation 1” and it doesn’t seem like there’s been any generation-crossing over the past year….
@smokey I have tried, but a lot of the recent efforts in the community seem to be centred around things of little interest to newbies. Sure, people are doing great things, but still nothing easy-to-use. That said, development is still ongoing with 10centuries v5 which should fit the bill.
@tgray Have you looked at WithKnown? Alas, the hosted version is no longer offered, but Reclaim, for one, offers one click install, and it does what you suggest. Or are you suggesting that this is what "they" need?
@jeremycherfas I have not. At some point, I probably read something about them on the Indieweb wiki. I also assume there are Wordpress plugins which work.
I was thinking more of an auth & webmention server that could be run alongside one's preferred blog software.
@tgray Those things exist, and depending on you CMS are not hard to get going. But not turnkey, I agree. And yes, there are WP plugins, but not nearly enough themes.
