In the workshop, we engaged with digital publishing methods that operate independently of big tech platforms and products. We talked about using RSS feeds for personal websites, blogs, and as an extended publishing method, and discussed pirate publishing forms, both online and offline.

PPDP-PRINTER

We also talked about our idea of the PPDP-PRINTER, a DIY device currently under development that combines web2print scripts with a simple server and local online publishing/broadcasting capabilities. The printer converts files, prints via its dot-matrix printer, creates RSS feeds, and serves them online. Our aim with the PPDP-PRINTER is to create an all-in-one material manifestation of our resource collection Post-Platform Digital Publishing Toolkit.
