Neotoma now backs up all of my Foursquare / Swarm check-ins to my Dropbox account whereupon they're republished instantly to my website on a new check-ins page.

As part of my working sprint at IndieWebCamp Berlin today, I managed to fix a show-stopping bug that's been in production for sync-server on Neotoma and run a backup job for my latest Foursquare / Swarm check-ins.

My website's content is now populated automatically via Dropbox using Neotoma personal server and publishing software, reducing the friction to publishing, keeping data in sync, and paving the way for content aggregation.

While working more or less full-time on Neotoma since last summer, I've created a few repositories that are hopefully useful as modules to other Node.js apps in general.

Since my last post, I've narrowed the scope of my project down a great deal.

The immense amount of ink spilled for Twitter these days signals two main things.

Today marks the completion of my first week working on my first startup/getting-the-lay-of-the-land.

As Erick Schonfeld was kind enough to announce in a post on TechCrunch last week, I've left my position at TechCrunch to build and run my own startup.
