Bridgy stats update

It’s that time of year again! No, not awards season…Bridgy stats time! Looking at the graphs, the elephant in the room is clearly the Facebook shutdown. It was Bridgy’s second largest silo, numbering 1477 users when we were forced to disable it on August 1. Bittersweet. On the plus side, I rearchitected in March and […]

Bridgy stats update

The patterns are broadly the same as last year, so I won’t belabor the obvious. A few high level thoughts: I think user […]

Bridgy Publish for Facebook shuts down in August

Bridgy Publish launched four years ago with the ability to create posts, RSVPs, comments, and likes on Facebook and other silos. It’s created over 30k silo posts since then (details), 7k on Facebook specifically. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, Facebook started limiting its API in a number of ways. Notably, it disabled RSVPing yesterday, […]

Happy 1000th, Bridgy

Bridgy, my little IndieWeb side project, hit a milestone a couple days ago: 1000 users! Congratulations Brett Glisson, you win the prize! 1000 isn’t a big number. We’re a long way from viral marketing, growth hacking, and customer acquisition tracking, and that’s fine with me. I built Bridgy to scratch my own itch, in fine […]

Indie stats

Join us for the party, Wed 1/24 at your local Homebrew Website Club! Counting isn’t easy, since webmentions are distributed and peer […]

Micropub for hosted blogs

Update: Kyle Mahan has built this! Kevin Marks had a great idea the other day: a micropub bridge service for hosted blog sites like Blogger, WordPress.com, and Tumblr, similar to Bridgy’s webmention service. If you have a hosted blog, you’d sign into this service, approve it to create/edit/delete your posts, add its micropub endpoint to […]
