Indie Web ProjectsA list of projects supporting or being actively used by IndieWebCamp attendees to create the Indie Web. Split into production, experimental, hacks, and explorations as well as other for projects that are or appear to be IndieWeb related but are either not in use by any attendee or status is unknown. Within each quality level the projects are listed by:
Sorted within each quality level by number of IndieWebCamp attendees actively using it on their primary self-identity site (thus you can quickly see which projects are the most "real", in-use, and likely well supported). See also offsite:
productionProduction = the software fully launched and good enough for other independents to relatively easily install, use, maintain, depend on.

Still useful to document what you *do* have running and use, share some of the code/design/UX, and lessons learned. Roughly ordered first by how "complete" the blogging/posting functionality is with known (URL required) attendee users, then other content tools, and other building blocks.

Pingback.mepingback.me is an open-source project and hosted service for receiving pingbacks on behalf of your indieweb site. Attendees that are using it on their own site: IRC Aaron Parecki uses a private IRC server with several channels as a personal communications hub. This project has no specific name, and has no single code base, and is highly experimental. However, he has been using and developing it for almost three years. The bot in the IRC channel can control lights in the house, do text to speech on computers inside the house, shows Twitter mentions and wiki edits, do unit conversion and other calculations, manage a "todo" list, and sometimes makes snarky remarks. Its modular structure has made it extremely easy to quickly add new functionality, and as such, has probably slowed Aaron's development on other more accessible web-based equivalents. ostatus-unofficial
hacksStuff that you've hacked on, perhaps you intend to run on your own site, sometimes run on your own site (i.e. for testing rather than as a part of your day-to-day real world usage), used to run on your own site, or in development plugins.
