Good work so far. As you note, micro.blog already offers a lot of the IndieWeb building blocks. And it recently started to offer an option to register your own domain, addressing another of your points. It's a good option for people (who can afford it) to explore the possibilities, and the nice thing is you can always move your content somewhere else if you want to. That's another good reason not to rely on silos.
Yes: I just registered for Indie Web Camp Brighton 2019 https://ti.to/adactio/indie-webcamp-brighton-2019 #IndieWeb
@noffle I know absolutely nothing about server admin but I am very happy using bits of indieweb. There is also micro.blog which is even more accessible than WithKnown.
I'm a late adopter on IndieWeb readers, I freely confess. Maybe I should make the effort now. Well, not now, because I'll be out of circulation for a bit, but soon.
Seems to me that your home page is great as a professional About page. Just add some #indieweb markup like an h-card. You have a contact form, which is important, what more do you need?
@rdwrt Not really, because it is an unconference. The sessions on the first day are offered by the people who are there and adjusted to suit people, and the second day is a hack day devoted to IndieWeb projects. Some more details at https://indieweb.org/IndieWebCamps/Attendance
Very hard to believe that Tanner Campbell chose to put his very IndieWeb idea about podcasting on Medium rather than on his own domain. Of course, the idea will never work because the big players don't need it and the small ones won't hurt anyone by witholding their labour.
