Generations

Dear IndieWeb, it may be time to start considering the user, not just the technical spec. by Eli MellenEli Mellen (eli.li)

From my experience, error messages of the sort found across the IndieWeb are symptomatic of early-stage, in development platforms, e.g. those platforms that are still being debugged.

I think that if the IndieWeb is aiming for wide adoption it is time to start designing for the user, not the spec.

I don’t know which generation my website is, but I’ve owned a domain and hosted many websites since 2000. I discovered and added the IndieWeb technology a couple of years ago. It was a frustrating experience, but I’m appreciative of the work being done. It’s improving.
