list

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

A list is a feature on personal sites, often a page (not a post), for collections of specific kinds of posts or things that may not need separate posts, and distinct from a listicle.

Less used on the IndieWeb: a list is a feature on some silos such as Twitter for collecting a set of people you want to follow for a specific reason such as a topic or area of expertise.

Brainstorming

Tantek

Tantek keeps various lists of things to do / contribute in public that he would like to keep on his personal site:

• tinbox - inbox here on the IndieWeb wiki for things he wants to do / take care of that are either for the wiki / community, or related to the IndieWeb in some broader way
