I just put together a »web feed roll« — a hand-picked list of blogs I actually read, each with a short intro and their latest posts pulled via RSS/Atom.

Web feeds are a quiet, open way to follow people online — no ads, no engagement bait, just posts showing up when they're published. If you've never tried a feed reader, this is meant as a gentle on-ramp — a glimpse of some worthwhile blogging. If you like it, you might build your own subscription list with something like NetNewsWire or blogsareback.com.

The web feed roll is just one static HTML file. When you click on "Update feeds" a PHP script refreshes the content from the actual feeds.

This was my work day result at IndieWebCamp Nuremberg 2026 — built in a short day among a room full of people doing the similar things for their own corners of the web. That's the IndieWeb spirit in a nutshell.

I spent the weekend at IndieWebCamp Nuremberg, the fifth edition in this city — two days at the tollwerkstatt as part of Nürnberg Digital Festival, in good company with a bunch of IndieWeb folks.

The highlight of Day 1 was René's session, “Make the web great again.” It gloriously derailed into everyone trying to out-do each other with the silliest, most gleefully useless links the web has to offer. I hope there is a blog post soon, but for a starter: esd-systeme.de^*. A reminder that the indie web isn't only specs and Webmentions — it's also delight.

Day 2 was Create Day and I built a Web Feed Roll for this site. It deserves its own post, so more on that very soon.

Everything is documented in detail on the IndieWeb Wiki: indieweb.org/2026/Nuremberg^*

I love Daniel Eatock’s website! The way he publishes his art and ideas for decades on this beautifully simple website is a tremendous accomplishment. And very inspiring. That is why I wrote a page on my digital garden about it. Already part three of a series on inspiring websites.

Another Homebrew Website Club Nuremberg last night — and I'm still delighted that this friendly, diverse group of practitioners meets monthly in my city. Interesting, inspiring, relaxed, and funny, as always.

Once again, thanks to Björn for documenting everything: indieweb.org/events/2026-06-10-hwc-nuremberg^*

And if you're even remotely curious about joining us: we're hosting a special edition for the Nürnberg Digital Festival! nuernberg.digital/de/events/2026/homebrew-website-club-nuedigital^*

Last month I went to my first IndieWebCamp, in Düsseldorf. After years of Homebrew Website Clubs, this was a big step up.
