Octothorpes Protocol

Octothorpes is an open protocol that lets you put hashtags and backlinks on your own website to connect with other independent sites across web rings using OP.
Hi #weirdweboctober friends. Your work this year was so fun and inspiring! We're honored that OP could assist in such wild webweaving. We've been working on something we call the #OPMultiPass, which is like a mixtape for websites. #SmallWeb #personalweb #weirdweb #indieweb

Congrats on another fantastic #weirdweboctober to all the webweavers out there. If you wake up next week, sad that you won't have new sites to see, don't despair. We will post a gift we've been working on for the WWO community on Monday.

#weirdweboctober friends! We here at Octothorpes love all the great sites you've made, and have made you a gift to help people find and enjoy them. Meet the Explore page > octothorp.es/explore Note the featured shortcut for WWO and how every configuration produces an #RSS feed.

Completed our API refactor, so all the examples in our docs docs.octothorp.es/op-api/ that were broken are no longer broken! Will document in a post next week for anyone interested in #sparql or #rdf or #mistakes

If you're using #octothorpes to follow #weirdweboctober via RSS, you may have noticed the RSS feeds weren't linking to sites properly. This was a casualty of our API refactor, but it should be fixed now. API improvements about to be deployed as well.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
