What is the IndieWeb: It's a people-focused alternative to the "corporate web", a community of independent personal websites based on principles like owning domain, publishing on own site first, and owning content.

• Your content is yours: Posting on the web should belong to you, not a corporation. Joining IndieWeb keeps content under your control.
• You are better connected: Articles and status messages can be distributed to any platform, and replies and likes can come back to your site.
• You are in control: You can post anything in any format without being monitored, and share simple readable links that are permanent.

Join the IndieWeb:

• Get started now at Getting Started.
• Join #indieweb chat at [chat.indieweb.org] to share website, get inspiration or ask about services and projects.

Beyond Blogging and Decentralization:

• Focus on principles over project-centrism and develop a plurality of approaches and projects.
• Publish on your site, show before tell, and make what you need.
• Design first, protocols and formats second.
• Use simpler building blocks and adopt, improve, and create open standards.
• Have regular meetups with a people-focused approach.
