 Machine-friendliness

+I think making a site machine-friendly is a great alternative perspective to traditional SEO, the latter of which I think tends to incentivise low-quality content and makes searching difficult. It's a big part of what I've decided to call ["agent optimization"](http://seirdy.one/notes/2022/06/23/agent-optimization/).
 
-This site is **parser-friendly.** It uses polygot (X)HTML5 markup containing schema.org microdata, microformats2, and legacy microformats. Microformats are useful for IndieWeb compatibility; schema.org microdata is useful for various forms of content-extraction (such as "reading mode" implementations). I've also sprinkled in some Creative Commons vocabulary using RDFa syntax.

 This site does not work well in Chromium's DOM Distiller. DOM Distiller removes all level-2 headings in article bodies. This is likely because they appear alongside section permalinks, which combines poorly with a DOM-Distiller heuristic that strips out sections with a high link-density. DOM Distiller also does not show footnotes, and sometimes cuts off final sections (acknowledgements, conclusions).
 
+Static IndieWeb
+---------------
+
+One of my goals for this site was to see just how far I could take IndieWeb concepts on a fully static site with ancillary services to handle dynamism. Apart from the search-results page, this site is static on the back-end (all pages are statically-generated). All pages, including the search-results page, are fully static on the front-end (no JS).
+
+[The IndieMark page](https://indieweb.org/IndieMark) lists all the ways you can "IndieWeb-ify" your site.
+
+### Features I have already implemented
+
+- IndieAuth compatibility
+- Microformats: representative `h-card`, in-text `h-card` and `h-cite` when referencing works, `h-feed`.
+- Sending and receiving Webmentions
+- Displaying Webmentions in the form of link-backs and likes (inspired by Tumblr).
+- Backfeeding content from silos: I'm only interested in backfilled content containing discussion, not "reactions" or "likes". Powered by Brid.gy
+
+### Features I am not interested in
+
+- Authoring tools, either through a protocol (e.g. MicroPub) or a dynamic webpage: I prefer writing posts in my `$EDITOR` and deploying with `git push`, letting a CI job build and deploy the site with `make deploy-prod`. This allows me to participate with the social Web using the same workflow I use for writing code.
+
+- Full silo independence: I want to treat my site as a "filtered" view of me that I want to keep searchable and public. On other silos I might shitpost or make low-effort posts. These aren't private, but I want them to remain less prominent. I POSSE content to other places, but I don't exclusively use POSSE.
+
+- Sharing my likes, favorites, reposts: I find these a bit too shallow for seirdy.one. I prefer "bookmarks" where I can give an editorialized description of the content I wish to share along with any relevant tags. I'll keep simple likes and reposts to silos.
+
+- Rich reply-contexts: I'd rather have users click a link to visit the reply and use quoted text to respond to specific snippets, similar to interleaved-style email quoting.
+
+### Features I am interested in
+
+- WebSub. Had some issues with Superfeedr; I think I'll resort to running my own single-user hub.
+- Automatic POSSE to the Fediverse (would be difficult with reply-contexts).
+- Tags and topics.
+- Displaying (truncated) Webmention entry contents instead of just titles and timestamps.
+
+### Low-priority features I have some interest in
+
+- RSVPs: I don't attend many events, let alone events for which I would broadcast my attendance. A page for this would be pretty empty.
+- Event posts: same reason as above.
