The [IndieWeb wiki](https://indieweb.org) is the main hub for information.

> The IndieWeb is a community of individual personal websites, connected by simple standards, based on the principles of owning your domain, using it as your primary identity, to publish on your own site (optionally syndicate elsewhere), and own your data. [more »](https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb)

IndieWeb standards include:
* [[Webmention]] to notify other websites
* [[WebSub]] to get real time updates on other sites' new content
* [[Micropub]] to publish to your site with an ease
* [[IndieAuth]] to authenticate with your website
* [[Microsub]] (experimental) to follow others, collect posts, read, and interact with them

IndieWeb is composed of a number of [[microformats]].
