This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
A challenge on the indieweb can either mean a blogging challenge, a list of questions to answer or a topic to write about in a post, sometimes tagged/invited by others to do so, or an ongoing event-like post which invites people to post achievements towards a goal for a specific time period, like exercise or posting photos at some frequency (daily), also supported by silos like Strava and micro.blog.
Blogging Challenges
A blogging challenge is typically a call for a single post on a topic or to answer a series of questions. See these individual pages for IndieWeb Examples of each.
