IndieWeb: A people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”

Your content is yours

When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and

lost all of their users’ data

. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.

 

You are better connected

Your articles and status messages can

go to all services

, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone. Even replies and likes on other services can

come back to your site

so they’re all in one place.

 

You are in control

You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as

example.com/ideas

. These links are

permanent

and will always work.
