Eli Mellen (eli.li)For one, folks building IndieWeb tech can’t assume that their users care about the technical implementation of their project. The vast majority of users aren’t going to read the spec., nor care to ever do so. The vast majority of users will care, first and foremost, about themselves and their content. They will, most likely, already know enough to care about owning their content. This means their content is important to them. This also probably means that they’re itching to create content. To write.

But the startup process was a bit bumpy and somewhat frustrating and distracted me from focusing on the content.
All of this is a work in progress.
