There’s never been a better time to learn a little about nearly everything in web technology. 2026 will be a year for generalists and new tools that span platforms. And yet I see folks on the fediverse who have strong opinions about Bluesky without really understanding why it exists or how it works.

We officially have a new W3C working group to advance ActivityPub and related specifications (including IndieWeb standards). There has been a lot of work in the years since the last specs were updated, so it’ll be good to see conventions formalized.

Thursday Lighthouse Calm

The week creaks on. The light stays steady.
Logs roll. Backups complete. No drama required.

Build systems you can explain.
Run services you can sleep through.
Let the noise burn itself out offshore.

Keep the light.

The next session of #Indieweb Club #Bangalore is scheduled on this Saturday 17th January at 2:30 PM IST. Join us this time for a tech and design focused session. We'll co-work on our personal websites, try new designs, squash bugs, or just do some long-neglected digital housekeeping.

If you don't have any programming experience, don't worry! We'll help you with any technical questions you might have about building your personal website, blog, or participating on the IndieWeb. If possible, we'll pair you up with a buddy who can help you out with the technical and design side of web development.

Bring:
1. Your laptop (+ charger)
2. Ideas for new features/designs you want to add to your website (or just a list of enhancements you want to make)
3. If you're new to programming, come with questions so we can find you answers!

As usual, we will end the meetup with a writing prompt and a focused writing session. Register to confirm your attendance at https://blr.indiewebclub.org.
