v1.0.0 Beta

The first beta release for v1.0.0. 🎉 For those new to the project, Indiekit is the little Node.js server with all the parts needed to publish content to your personal website and share it on social networks. Think of it as the missing link between a statically generated website and the social web protocols developed by the IndieWeb community and recommended by the W3C.

Publish content to your website using any application that supports Micropub. Write an article in iA Writer, post a note or photo from Micro.blog, or use a service like OwnYourSwarm to cross-post a check-in from Swarm. Then have it shared automatically on social networks like Mastodon and Twitter.

Read the launch post to learn more about the background to Indiekit, and what’s coming next.

💟 Indiekit is supported by its community. This release was sponsored by @roobottom.
