In episode 5 of my #100DaysToOffload challenge, I talk about my recent experience playing with the brid.gy codebase, a fun and pleasant deep-dive into the code base for one of the IndieWeb movement’s key pieces of infrastructure.

Spent a couple of hours adding indieweb micropub and microsub support to my site today and pretty pleased with the result. I can now join in with the POSSE gang on IndieWeb
