indieweb network

From IndieWeb

The web is your canvas. Which brush will you choose?


indieweb network is an overview of IndieWeb friendly applications, silos, CMSes, and platforms and which specifications they support.

For a list of projects supporting individual specifications, see the wiki-page for the specific specification. The plurality principle of the IndieWeb means that there are many projects of many shapes, often favoring composition over a single application that solves it all, making it hard to fit them into this list.
